Amen... Jay was not only funny and creative, but also generous with his time and influence. He along with Old Tucson founder Bob Shelton were both mentors to me when I arrived in Tucson in 1976... May they both enjoy whatever comes after lives well lived.
I'm on the floor and LOL! hearing Jay ... and, at my age, I'm too old to DO that! I came to Tucson from NYS, on purpose, back in 1971. I never looked back or questioned my logic. Now, where are the two men and a small boy to help me get up off of this floor!
I helped Jay put together and directed his wonder "Thankful For The Road" at the Temple Of Music And Art in February 2008. I have never worked on stage with anyone so connected to honest humor and honest pathos practically in the same breath. I wish I could find the film version of this to try and sell to Americans old enough laugh and cry at his autobiography mixed with great comedy bits.

"Oh mama!" I so enjoyed Jay's humor. He was truly one of a kind in the very best of ways, he made my 1970s and 80s of Tucson small town wonderful.
