Life comes and goes. Some of us are just blessed. to be at the right place at the right time.

Do I hear jealousy and stupidity or the innocence of ignorance out of your mouth?

[@Pudsy440]

My original comment was a compliment ... it was about his sound is all.

Wow, Jerry Jemmott, I can't tell you how much I've dug your playing for the last 50 (!) years. I hope you don't mind a question about the past - did you play on Howard Tates's first couple of records? "That's What Happens" sure sounds like you. Thanks again for all the great music -
