Jay's Visit to Blackpool

Jay and his youngest son Marcus, made a trip to the UK in August 2004,
to visit with brother Jimmy and his family in Blackpool.
While there, Jay attended "Boogie Nights," in which Jimmy performed as himself.

Jimmy called Jay up on stage, and Jay "cleaned out the cobwebs"
to the delight of the audience, as he performed "Crazy Horses!"

Jay was greeted by a lot of smiling faces,
along with requests for autographs and photos.
He loved the warm reception,
and appreciated everyone's enthusiasm.

I just wanted to tell all of our friends over in the UK that I appreciated your kind and memorable support towards me and Jimmy. My son Marcus had a great time and thought you were all nice. I hope we can work something out among the brothers to come back and do a tour. Timing and scheduling seem to be problems in getting us all together at the same time, but we are working on several ideas. We hope can accommodate everyone, especially - you! You have all been absolutely "brilliant" in making our quick stay a happy memory, and a treasured one at that!
I love you all,
Jay
