    Sad to report that David Blatt, aka "Jay Black" of Jay & The Americans" passed away on October 23, 2021 from complications of pneumonia. He was 82 years of age. He succeeded Jay Traynor as the group's lead singer. Great voice and great music. Rest In Peace and thanks for the memories.

    Gee, I've never see "Fire engines backing out of the firehouse." Do any newspapers read what they are going to print? Duh!
