Things have changed since last year's SummerFest

We were very upset by your April 19 article saying that "Jay and the Americans won't be belting out 'Come a Little Bit Closer' or anything else at SummerFest this year".

Jay and The Americans are alive and well, but not working with Jay Black, who is legally no longer allowed to have any association with the name Jay and The Americans or Jay Black and The Americans. The group is back with a new "Jay" and three "original Americans," Sandy, Howie and Marty. This group is dedicated to "morals and family values," not "blue humor."

Go to www.jayandtheamericans.com and check us out. Perhaps you may consider the "real" Jay and The Americans for your fest in the future. But for now, please retract your comment and let the people of Brick Township know that Jay and The Americans will never resort to gross behavior in their performances. Thank you in advance for your help.
