Jeff, I haven't tracked down the other band members names yet but, today I saw a 45 on ebay from the hacienda in Las Vegas for 30 bucks featuring the jerry sun group. On the jackets back are a couple of new photos of jerry and sue ann. A friend who grew up in tacoma saw the four play at a coffeehouse in town and said that they were playing exotica music in the early 60's and possibly the late 50's also. Now the bad news, sue ann died from breast cancer fairly early in life and jerry is also reported to have passed away. Thats all for now but I do have other leads to follow. tikicoma

Thanks tikicoma!

I've got the '45 from the Hacienda. Las Vegas is apparently the last place Jerry took his show. This was a MUCH different act than the Exotica stuff in the 1960's. I also read about Sue Ann passing away in 1980. I hadn't heard about Jerry's passing. I also have the rare private pressing LP called The Exotic Sounds of Jerry Sun. Again, no info listed, nothing!!

If you come accross anything else please let me know.

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff
