Sorry Jerry, I realise your birthday was two days ago. Mine was yesterday. June is birthday month in our family, Me 15th, Son 22, Mum 23, Dad 24th.
Best wishes to you and Ruth. Are you still singing? Can you get another gospel group together? Cheers, ROY

I've sent Jerry a couple of emails to let him know about this thread. If someone wants to contact him via Facebook, it might catch his attention.

This morning, I exchanged a couple of e-mails with Peter Twitchett, read FB posts from Jimmy Todd and saw a photo of him and Leadfingers. I also ran into many Catters at the Getaway in D.C. a little over a year ago. I am very active on Facebook, but rarely drop by here anymore. Peter suggested I put up a post on Mudcat to say hello to my many friends on here. This is it. It's not that I'm not active in my life.

I finally had a CD of acoustic traditional and original gospel music mastered and it is ready to release. I'm waiting on cover photos for the CD, my seond book, Lord Send Me, and a new gospel CD I am currently working on. After many ye3ars of inactivity, I've revived my gospel Quartet with a new member, and we have our first concert coming up in August. Last Fall, I was one of the performers at a one day festival celebrating fook music in the sixties in Greenwich Village, where I first started performing in 1961. It was a chance to renew my frienship with Luke Faust, who I was performing with, over fifty years ago, and we're trying to pull together enough music to do a concert later this fall.

I'm blessed with great health, as is my wife Ruth. We're still traveling often and we still do a monthly church service with my good friend, Rev. Ken Smith at a local nursing home.

Other than that, we're just sittging around, doing nothing. :-)

I hope all is well with all of you.

Jerry

And now it's another one, 2019.

Happy Birthday, whether you read this or not, Jerry. One of the best people I've known on the Mudcat over the years, who I'd dearly love to meet in person someday, though I doubt I ever will.. And a great songwriter and musician.
