Jerry is a great friend of ours. He, just last year, retired from his job heading up the Stamford (Connecticut) Museum and Nature Center. He held that position for many years. Most all of his earlier songs painted great pictures of ecery-day life in small town U.S.A. These days Jerry is involved heavily in the Baptist church that he and his wife Ruth attend. He and 4 other guys have formed a group called The Gospel Messengers and they've been doing folk festivals lately as well as other Afro-American churches around New England.
