MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF THE JAN BERRY FANS
FEELING THIS
GREAT LOSS. I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR PAGES OF ALL OF OUR DAYS AND
NIGHTS IN THE STUDIO RECORDING THE GREAT JAN & DEAN HITS, MAKING
LIVE
T.V. AND THEATER APPEARANCES, A MOVIE PILOT AND THEN FATE STEPPED IN,
THERE WERE TWO ACCIDENTS THAT SIDELINED THIS TEAM. I SAT FOR MANY HOURS
AND DAYS VISITING JAN AT UCLA HOSPITAL WHENEVER I HAD THE TIME, HE WAS
IN A COMA, THE DOCTORS DIDN'T GIVE MUCH HOPE TO JANS FAMILY AND
FRIENDS, AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY, OR AN ACT OF GOD, JAN ROSE FROM THE
DEPTHS OF DESPAIR AND DEPRESSION, MANY YEARS OF THERAPY AND THE WILL TO
WRITE MUSIC AND PERFORM AGAIN AND WITH THE HELP OF HIS PARTNER DEAN,
HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, A WIFE THAT LOOKED AFTER HIM AND SOMEHOW KEPT
HIM ON TRACK, JAN CAME OUT OF THOSE DEPTHS, HE WAS BACK ON STAGE, HE
WAS PERFORMING AGAIN, HE WAS WRITING AND ARRANGING AGAIN, THERE WAS
LIFE THERE AGAIN AND THEN, AS IF GOD NEEDED A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE, HE
TOOK JAN AWAY AND THIS TIME FOR ALL TIME. I KNOW THAT JAN IS AT PEACE
NOW, HE WILL OF COURSE LIVE FOREVER IN ALL OF US AND LIVE ON THE
AIRWAVES FOR ALL OF ETERNITY, WE ALL FEEL THIS GREAT LOSS, WE WILL
ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES,, SO FOLKS,, "GRAB YOUR BOARD AND GO
CLOUD TO CLOUD SURFING" AS JAN IS DOING NOW.. WE ALL LOVE
YOU............... HAL BLAINE
