Band History:
Jerry has been in many memorable bands, but unfortunately, he doesn't remember any of them. He formed his first band in the mid-sixties (which explains a lot), and played mostly in the NYC area. In the seventies, he attended college in Indiana (well, he enrolled but in reality he rarely attended). It was there where he started writing his own songs, and with his truant friends, formed the cutting edge band Fertile Rain. When the other members of the band were tragically killed by outraged Pat Boone fans, Jerry decided to go solo. For the past 30 years, he has been working on his demo. He has now completed seven songs, and estimates that he will complete the project by June 2009.
