Jerry Lewis is one of my all time favorites. I used to call the MD telethon every year and pledge a dollar for every year of my age. If you have time, watch this interview with Raymond Arroyo. What an amazing life. He helped so many. May God's reward be heaped upon him.

Not gonna lie - this one hit me so hard that I left work early in bits. He was such a huge inspiration to me, both as a person and in how I have run my band this past 25+ years. The words "unique" and "legend" get thrown about far too easily these days but with MES they're completely apposite.
