June 14 is Jerry Rasmussen's special day: Jeremiah the wise prophet, creator and gracious host of the kitchen table (the most friendly thread on the forum), singer-songwriter of profundity, guitar player nimble of finger-picking, gospel singer of glory, writer of word-smithing and tale-telling talent. He can doo-wop til he drops, rhythm and blues in his blue suede shoes and he's an all-around wonderful person. All that and he can cook, too (lucky Ruth)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JERRY, AND WISHING YOU MANY, MANY MORE.
