I had the pleasure of meeting Jan Berry at a local record swap in Orange
County. I think it was 1997 or '98. I was really struck by his genuine
humility, which was in stark contrast to his supposed arrogant character he
displayed prior to his tragic accident.
I may also be the only Jan & Dean fan in the world who thinks Jan's
post-accident material was among the best he'd ever recorded. I love the
early/mid '70s Ode tracks like "Mother Earth", "Tinsel Town" and especially
"Sing Sang A Song". I've got these on a bootleg LP called Jan & Dean
Oddities, which also has some of the late '60s Warner Brothers sides like
the great "Girl You're Blowing My Mind". In fact, someone needs to do a
comp of the Jan & Dean Warner Brothers period.
Rhino Handmade, anyone? Bryan? Bryan? :-)
