Not sure what to say?

I am very sad to hear of Jerry's passing. He was an amazing bass player and musician. I met him in the early to mid 1970's. Back in those days young musicians were always seeking out others with talent to hang out and play with. Although we weren't what I consider close friends, as we traveled in different musical circles, we always got along well when we jammed together. I always enjoyed his playing and admired his talent and friendship, although I don't think I ever told him, sadly.

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly so am apologizing in advance if I have 2 posts. Jerry Lee was such a nice man and cool with the fans of his music. Seeing The Ju Ju Kings play for the first time at the Utica Tornado Relief Show is still etched in my mind. I was so happy when he brought the band to Frizol’s in Mendota. Condolences to Leslie and all saddened by his passing. RIP JLG.

Leslie, I am so sad to see that Jerry passed, what a great guy he was and you guys seemed to have the best relationship, I enjoyed the "traveling rings" pictures over the years and will definitely miss hearing Jerry's music, may he rest in Paradise.
