January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

hear me. I can carry a tune good though but I have to stay within my own style
and range limits. I don't practice much and I rarely sing at karaoke bars as I
don't consider that real music, "it's gotta be live music, if you wanna hear me
sing!"I was performing every Saturday night with a local Orange County
band until the end of last year but haven't been this year at all. It was a
long time friend's band but I got bored with it as I only did one set and the
same songs every night.But if anyone lets me know they will be in the
Orange county Cal. area, and my friend is appearing anywhere, I will let my
friend know I am coming down and he always puts me on stage with him.|

I have a surprisingly quick left jab and quick straight right hand. What I
don't have is stamima. Of course I lack the technical knowledge and experience
pros have.I like the name Splatterbean and its take on the name
Butterbean, but in all fairness to me, if I was crazy enough to fight a pro like
Toney, I would not come in at 300 pounds. I would come in at no more than 220
pounds. But since I am at least ten years past fighting anyone, even amatuers,
it is not likely I will be in that kind of shape any time soon. So no fights
for me.I remember talking to Mike Quarry about his power and he said he
didn't have a very big punch. I told him he had enough of a punch to knock me
out easily, which is true. He is a true professional and with the possible
exception of Max Hord, who visits here from time to time, none of us on this
board could stand up to a pro's punch. |

are not Sinatra, but you are probably the best singer on this site and the best
singer in (or on) La Habra. Maybe you should try with Italian songs, for
instance "Azzurro" sung by Adriano Celentano, maybe the most famous Italian song
ever (maybe tied with "Volare" by Domenico Modugno)."Azzurro, il
pomeriggio e' troppo azzurro e lungo per me,mi accorgo di non avere piu'
risorse senza di te,e allora, io quasi quasi prendo il treno e vengo,
vengo da teil treno dei desideri,nei miei pensieri all'incontrario
va...".Ain't these words beautiful ?I have been hearing this song since
I was, say, 4 years old. Steve,my friend from nothing less than New Jersey,
please ask your wife whether she knows the song "Azzurro", I'm sure she does !
Betcha she knows this song ?Kent, do you think a professional journeyman
flyweight could knock me and any other guy on this site but Max Hord down with
one punch ? |

neededma il treno dei desideri AND NOT il treno dei
desideriSorry again, I apologize, but it was obvious. Who doesn't know
that song ?|
|5/6/05 07:51:45 AM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Since Kent's
last name is similar to "apple" I think his ring name should be, simply,
"The Core" With the proper training, the right diet, lots of rest---and no
distractions (Kent, that means no trips to Wendy's Late Night Window and it also
means no more sex), Kent can win one of the many heavyweight title belts in less
than two years. Kent should challenge the winner of Tyson's next fight. |

speaking of Sinatra, I do one of the best non Sinatra versions of New York, New
York. The key is I don't do imitations so I do it my own way, in my own
style.So in a way, I am more in tradition of Sinatra than the imitators
because Frank always did things his own way (My Way). He didn't copy other
singers like Cole Porter, Bing Crosby, and Dean Martin, he did Frank Sinatra.
Same as I don't do Frank Sinatra, Elvis, or other singers. I may sing
their songs but I do Kent Appel as no one is better at Frank than Frank and no
one is better than Elvis than Elvis, even the best copy cats.I read
somewhere, but I don't remember where so I don't know the accuracy of the
information but Elvis, before he died of course, entered a few Elvis contests
