I followed my twin brother Jim on the ivories at Jaxson's in 1975. My mother always told us to practice because we might end up playing piano in an ice cream parlor. Thanks, Monroe for bringing my mother's prophecy to fruition.

Monroe gave me a job playing Jaxson's old upright piano in the mid-70's. It was great fun and I left a far better musician than I arrived. Thanks for the opportunity, Monroe! You were one class act.

Your postcard is the "measuring stick" for my nephews, newly living with me in Dania Beach.....pressed flat against their heads and the door jam, it has already helped record 1" growth for the older one (10) and 3/4" for the other (9). And just the other night, for the first time, the boys, their mother and I got to celebrate the "first school play" at Jaxson's. Thank you for peach and banana flavors and all good memories.

Monroe,you were so talented, caring, gifted, with a "heart of gold", that touched everyone that had the pleasure of knowing and loving you. Your smile touched us all. We'll always remember how "surprised" and "proud" you were when The Greater Dania Beach Chamber honored you as the "Small Business Person of the Year". We always looked forward to seeing you at Hollywood's broadwalk, spending many hours chatting with you; and, of course, at Jaxsons, one of our favorite places! You will truly...
