This is Gerry on September 17, 2018 singing at our Jam Session at Wall St. Church. Gerry was always our favourite...no music notes required; he new his stuff; and sang like Hank Williams without missing a note. We would always ask Gerry what key he would be playing in...and of course, his answer was "Key of G". The following is a small Ditty that Brenda Kelly and I wrote and sang for Gerry. We will miss you terribly Gerry. Our deepest sympathies to Lorraine and family.
Love and Blessings from: Darlene Burns
A DITTY FOR GERRY (Throop)
…in the Key of ‘G’
Our Jammin’ Buddy Gerry
Is as kind as one can be;
He laughs and sings, and plays guitar…
But mostly in the Key of ‘G’.
Hank Williams could have wrote his life
They sound just like each other;
And all those old-time country songs…
Could not be sung much smoother.
His memory’s sharp, no sheets has he
Lorraine’s by his side with her fiddle;
She directs that bow where she thinks it should go…
While he sings ‘Ole Rattler’ and ‘Bobby McGee’.
[Chorus]
We made this Ditty just for you
So you could plainly see;
How much we really do miss you…
And all your songs in the Key of ‘G’ !
[Chorus + last 2 lines]
To Gerry with Love & Blessings
