Is this Jerry?
A few weeks ago I posted that I had played a mish mash tape which led me to Jerry's Hula Lady. I played more of that tape today and there was a version of Moon Of Manakoora, the steel sounds very much like Jerry, no vocal, instead a whistler warbles the song. Does anyone know for sure if it is Jerry and who the whistler is? It is a bit like some years ago, we were arranging for Jerry and his playmates visit and I was writing to Jerry about which recordings we could use for publicity and mentioned that many years ago I had bought Red Foley's " Honey Be My Honey Bee " and the flip side was " Don't Make Me Go To Bed ans I'll Be Good ", never knew who did the beautiful guitar work until " Kaimana Hila " was released here. Jerry replied that he did not do that one, so I taped it and sent it over and said if it wasn't him, there is a very good imposter somewhere. He wrote back " Foley and I used to fight something terrible, nothing physical, just arrangements. They must have had that one in the can for a long time, I don't remember doing it, but, yeah, it's me allright." Mystery solved - now for this one.

JB didn't remember a lot of things he did. I told him I remembered him coming to Saginaw Mi once in the 60s. He said "Ive never been to Saginaw" Then I reminded him of who was with him, then he remembered
I suppose he had been to so many venues and recorded with so many artists, that it wasn't possible to relate to all of them.

Thanks Rick, for the info. " Yep! Sure sounded like Jerry allright." His memory wasn't too bad - he remembered me when we got over there. He arranged coffee, he paid and I told him I would pay next time - owed it to him for the rest of his life rather than do him out of it - and in conversation he said " The tax man can take all your money, but the one thing no one can take from you are your memories. Those are yours forever. " And memories i have.
