Hey, Peter: Gordon is a good friend, and he just had his 70th birthday party. He's a good man, always having enough time to encourage newcomers.

Last night, my friend Susan Trump and I split an evening at the U'n
I coffee house in Springfield, Mass. Driving up from Derby, we fought our way through stretches of driving rain and fog which last well into the night. It definitely was not a night to go out, but we had a real good turnout and a wonderful evening. I've know Susan for many years since I booked her a couple of times in my concert series. She added harmonies on a couple of songs I did for a gospel album I never released and she's recorded at least four songs I've written. She'd never met Ruth and I'd never met her husband Jack. They just celebrated their 7yh wedding anniversary, so you can tell it's been a long time since we've seen each other. The crowd was warm and receptive and I sold some books and CDs, as did Susan. A great night.

I might have to do this more often.

Jerry
