PUCKETT and the UNION GAP was one of the most successful musical
groups of the sixties. Gary's unmistakable signature voice garnered
six consecutive gold records and top ten Billboard hits with the
following titles: "YOUNG GIRL", "WOMAN WOMAN",
"LADY WILLPOWER", "OVER YOU", "THIS GIRL IS A
WOMAN NOW", "KEEP THE CUSTOMER SATISFIED", "DON'T
GIVE IN TO HIM", "HOME".

about how he came up with
the name Union Gap, and how he ran into President Nixon while walking
around the White House, meeting Prince Charles and Princess Ann.
Princess Ann requested to see Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, Prince

to ten minutes of DJ
Jerry's fun and memories. Some 50's Oldies that you may remember
along with some fun commentary. Jerry plays
Mary Ann, There Goes My Heart Again,
and Gonna Find Her.
Segment produced by Glen Pitts.
Then, to two great tunes,
Hold Me Tight and Funky Town. Glen Pitts does some special
production for Jerry in this segment and Jerry has some comments
on his favorite Funky towns.
Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan are among my
favorite people. For one thing I like Jack's politics and their music
has a touch of nostalgia that only one who has had his shares of rough
roads in life and romance can appreciate. Listen to these tunes by
them and visit their web sites. You will enjoy the trip. Here is a
perfect example of Jack's politics and then scroll below to link to
perfect examples of Jack and Misty's music!
Love can reach beyond the limits of life and
death, space and time... "Shadow of a Big Black Bird" (A Mystical Love Song)

Former President Ronald Reagan's funeral is one of
the grandest ever.
He's an icon, representing more than a mere human to
many people.
* * *
The sad news just came in that Ray Charles has died.
He brought some joy into the world.
* * *
A neighbor of ours died yesterday.
He endured pain because he couldn't afford the
medicine on his small Social Security check.
You wouldn't know him.
He was a retired trucker.
