@gerryracer Carole and I are calling Jerry's new manager today just to say hello- we were talking a few months ago about making a documentary just about Jerry and MDA- "The Last Telethon"...

@xxNeedleZxx BWAHAHA! Some Enchanted Evening!

That would be absolutely ace! I,m wondering "IF" Jerry would supply some of his really unique memorabilia were that to happen. If if does, .....I shall have to get over there. Fingers crossed that it happens for you and your mate Joe-P- best Gerry.

ps JL has a birthday this Friday kiddo!

Luke, please keep me in the loop my friend. The last long letter I had from J. was in 2007, and he went into some detail regarding stuff he was involved in. Did I tell you when he was over doing "DAMN YANKEES" he suggested we all go to dinner, but, as you know sadly he had to return to the States, due a family problem. I do hope that you get that appointment with his manager, and that it all gets a great big GREEN LIGHT. G xx

@gerryracer "Hello, Mr. nice fellow Sir!" Most welcome as always! There's actually a possiblilty that one of the casinos in Atlantic City is going to build a new "500 Club"- in true retro style- my new good friend Joe P- who admins the Swing, Saloon and Croon group on Facebook- and I are looking into furnishing the Club with archive footage and music to be shown on a projection screen to supplement the live entertainment- keeping our fingers crossed...!

As a JERRY Impressionis for many years, may I say once again, "A genius, a One-Off, and to me anyway, a Gentleman. I know others have different opinions, but I speak as I find, and he has always treated me with kindness and respect. If only I had a time machine, I would be right there at the door of the "500 Club". Thanks, Luke. G x

@dinoandjer Can you tell him Happy Birthday from all of us aspiring "clowns", please? In case he doesn't know already... I love that song that he and Dean do "Hey, Punchinello" because, to me, Jerry is the man that the rest of us clowns want to be. A very happy birthday to him... :-)
