Very nice, and deserving article!

"A stint in the Southeast in the 1970s found him working closely at ZB Guitars with owner Tom Brumley,"

I think the author meant to say "southwest" instead of "southeast". No offense to any southeasterners, but those of us in the southwest want to retain our bragging rights to such a wonderful person. Smile

Jerry has been a big supporter of the PSGA annual show in Norwalk Ct. every year, and is on the bill this year so come out in November and say hello and hang with Jerry, and who knows, maybe his brother David Crosby may show up too. Very Happy

I'm lucky enough to live close by Jerry. He's helped me out numerous times, generous, nice guy. He knows ZBs too, helped me get mine squared away. Thanks Jerry

Nice to read about Jerry. I met him quite a few years ago... I think maybe at Lexington when we were listening to Jim Cohen play a Fessy on that show.
