The Bad Brains Daryl Jenifer remembers Jerry Williams



Jerry,

thanks for letting us stay at 171 A ,when we were struggling in the streets of NYC like lost run away Hardcore slaves, for letting us sleep on the stage and under the control room ,and sharing your soaked and dry sunflower seeds, not to mention your Manna bread, and your old school soggy pin joints, thanks for your big brotherly wisdom and patience, and most of all our classic ROIR cassette which blazed the music world with it's message of peace and love, thanks for mixing us live, although you would def me with feedback, thanks for those cashews, and soy milk when I was hungry and had the munchies, we love you man, I can see you now all sweaty in your scuba suit with that white SG, I can hear you now saying "whut's up bruther" with that southern accent - I'd say Jerry "bumba clot"! you'd say whut! Bumper Crop!

There's so much to thank you for Jerry, that I will conclude this by simply saying long live the legacy of the one Jay Dubs! May his kind spirit and giving sharing ways continue to spread throughout the world, through our music and the works of us all, we know who we are, if you are from the 171 A era and family or from any era and family connected to Jerry Williams or not - 1 love J DUBS

sail on brother.

And maximum recognition and respects to our brother Dave Parsons and Dave Hahn, I'm sure they’re jamming and Rocking The Light!

D. Jenifer - Bad Brains
