Just a report that I played at A New Song last Saturday.
The concert was well attended but subdued. Much [of] Jerry's family was there. They told me that it was Jerry's wish that the show go on. It did, and it will continue to. There is a good support staff there to handle the operations, and the booking will be carried on by Jerry's daughter, Linda. Considering the shock to the community of A New Song, it speaks well of that community that everything went off smoothly.
The condolences I expressed in person to that community and to Jerry's family, I now extend in public. He will be missed, but his work will continue.
