  • Encouraging news from Jesse's website: "Regarding my health: I have finished my treatment and surgery, and the doctors have sounded the "all clear." I expect to be performing again early in the coming year. I want to thank precious Cindy and my children, the doctors and nurses who cared for me so lovingly and skillfully, and you, dear ones, for your prayers and good wishes. I can't wait to see you again."

  • Brought out the first tears I ever cried in over 2 years. He reminds me of my grandfather. I never met him, but the stories that were told painted a picture that reminds me of Jesse. The song he's singing reminds my grandmother about thier early years. much love.

  • @leesagrrl

    And when Neko starts tearing... I lost it. I won't be looking to find it either.

  • @rahzel101 that would be 5 1/4"

  • @rahzel101 It measures % 1/4" wide by 9 " high which is quite prominent. Bearsville record. You can most likely google it

  • @andrepaul15 I can see it in my mind.It's a small photo,isn't it?Doesn't take up much of the cover.It's his baby.Well,his wife's,too,a pretty Quebecoise.

  • @oleole52 The Album is "Learn To Love it" it is a maroon jacket with a photo of he and a baby are on the cover

  • Kleenex disclaimer: You better have some handy, if you listen to this performance.

  • Incredible! Best example of voice, guitar, and imagery coming together resulting in something truly transcendent.
