Welcome

In honor of our dearly beloved friend, Dr Sal Caputo, who passed away Sunday, August 6, 2017, I wrote this song and sang it at his funeral. I will have the recorded version up on my site as soon as is practical. Sal will always be in our minds and hearts.

The Gentle Giant

The Gentle Giant was a friend of mine

When he rode into town

All the people laughed and sang

When he was around

A selfless man he was for sure

Healing all who came

A loving father and husband too

He will always remain

He’s resting in a better place

With the good Lord by his side

We shed a tear and mourn for him

A never ending changing tide

The Gentle Giant was a friend of mine

When he rode into town

All the people laughed and sang

When he was around

-He’s around

-He’ll always be around…

"...Jerry DeMeo, with his multifaceted personality, brings to the table of any concert goer, not only great singing and original songs, but he's like having a relative perform at your table. He's both witty and funny, and he brings a friend and family milieu to any venue that he performs at..."
