Jerry,
Thanks for doing the show. I'm fortunate to have received several of your premiums over the years, and I have very much enjoyed listening to your program. You have played so much music that is rarely heard, some of it great, all of it interesting. I'll miss it.
Thanks again.

Thank you, Jerry, for the years you were doing this show. It has been a great addition to my musical knowledge of that era plus your excellent theme shows and well researched material. It will be definitely a great loss.
