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?  :-)
