I remember Gerry putting an album on his turntable in 1975. I had never heard of the artist. It was Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run" album. I was blown away. Gerry was always introducing me to music artist I had never of...like Harry Chapin. I'll always remember Gerry and his love of music...Love You Gerry...Michael Gordon

I remember Gerry putting an album on his turntable around 1975. I had never heard of the artist. It was Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" album. I was blown away. Gerry was always introducing me to great music artists that I wasn't familiar with. I'll always remember Gerry and his love of music. Love you Gerry...Michael Gordon.
