Ode to Jay Kantor

Reissued for Doc Sherwood in tribute to a great man and Vocalite who is no longer here

By Rachel DeemingPublished 2 years ago • Updated 6 months ago • 1 min read

There is a guy called Jay,

Who emailed to say "Hey!

I'm laid up at the mo

And feeling pretty low.

I want my Vocalites

To know that I'm alright.

Say, RD, let them know:

I'm thinking in an ode?"

(You're right, that line's not his

But the essence sort of is).

And so you Vocal folks,

Jay would be pretty stoked

If you could drop a line

To see if he is fine.

He misses you a load

It's been a rocky road

But he thinks he's back on track

And hopes to be right back

With witty, quirky writes

To glitter on this site.

So let us wish him well

It really would be swell

To show him how we care

And noticed he's not there.

Jay's friends - not all of them but a selection
