It is strange how life eventually comes back at you. In 1985 I photographed jazz trumpet player Dupree Bolton on the streets of San Francisco. In 2023 I am in contact with an English writer and musician who is writing a book on Dupree. The street photos now have historical importance and could be used in the book, along with stories I told in an Interview. Life comes back at you, memories restored, experiences relived! Gotta love it!

Email from the writer:
Dear Gerry
Thank you. Those photos of Dupree playing on the street in Chinatown, and the one you sent by itself, are terrific. It’s so valuable for me to see them and eventually I hope to be able to ask for permission to use some of them in my book.
I’m extremely grateful to you for the trouble you’ve taken. Seeing this new evidence of his later life helps give me the momentum to get on with writing the story.
Best regards
