The
new CD is READY.May 2006 :
My dear friends John & CJ Milroy just released their newest CD! John
asked me to accompany him on track 6 "Hallelujah Time" What
an honor & what a great tune. I am really in awe of their talent.
All original, very clever lyrics, fabulous storytelling & sweet harmony.
But more importantly, they both have hearts of gold. I sure hope all of
you reading this will add their CD to your collection. You won't hear
anything like it in the commercial world of music, it's really exceptional.
Send me an email and let me
know what you think. http://cdbaby.com/cd/milroys
TV Shows
The story of Jerry's transition from leaving the Persuasions to intersecting with Talk of The Town is so striking that a one hour movie for TV is in the process of being filmed!
September 2005
A
new kids show premiered on the cable station Noggin.
Jerry & Talk of The Town performed the tune "I'm
So Glad." It's airing weekly throughout the season, but
for those of you who don't get the station you can view it on your computers!
Just click here.
If you love it please let Noggin know
and maybe they'll have the guys back next season!
For Moms, Dads & kids who have already seen Jerry’s segment and would like to buy Jerry’s children CD with that tune on it – look no further! You can purchase it directly from our site. We are trying to persuade Noggin to make the video available for you to purchase too. We’ll let you know if that happens.
September 9th, 2005 8pm - Hurricane Katrina Relief
Concert
We
appeared, with Rod Stewart, on the Katrina Rescue "Shelter From the
Storm" concert singing People Get Ready. On November 22, 2005
The Katrina benefit was released on a 2 disc set. All proceeds will be
going to 3 charities on behalf of Katrina survivors. You can hear a sample
of my original version of this Curtis Mayfield classic by clicking here.

Julie's cousin Ted took photos of the session and has allowed us to share them with you. He has them on his site, so just click here to see them. You'll also be able to listen to some of the songs as they were being recorded....
