A Message To Kacie From A True Super Star (Part 1)

Years ago Kacie, Beebs, and I used to hang out with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.  One night when they were appearing at the Fish Market Club in Baltimore, Kacie was home with a cold and couldn't attend so the boys sent her messages.  When I got home, I played them for her and it seemed to lift her spirits.  

December '63 (Oh What A Night) reached number 1 on the charts worldwide.  Jerry Polci, the drummer, was allowed by Frankie to sing lead and it worked well.  The song is now recognized as the longest charted single in the history of rock.  It sold 8 million copies!!  

Scoll down to Part 2 for the messages.    

A Message To Kacie From A True Super Star (Part 2)

The first message is from the musical director of the Four Seasons, the second from the piano player, and the third from the man himself, Jerry Polci.  The handsome rascal with Jerry is me.

Hurricane Donna Hits Ocean City In September of 1960

Old Man Catches a Big Shark Last Week

We got this one off of Dolphin Head and it went about 5-6 feet.  It was amazingly  fast and built like a bull.
This was probably a sandbar  shark and not as big as the hammerhead that we caught in May
