JACK AND MISTY RELOCATION FUND<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jack and Misty have entertained the masses since the sixties. Lets give back as they are in need of help to handle an unexpected relocation expense.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"TRY2012\"(From the Book “Finding Her Voice”, by Robert Oerman and Mary Bufwack.) Misty Morgan and her husband Jack Blanchard are so different that nobody can figure out exactly what they are. Born in Buffalo, New York, Misty was a piano prodigy who entered professional music in pop combos of the sixties. In 1967 she married Jack, a wonderfully off-center songwriter, and they teamed up in Florida to perform jazz, rock, Dixieland, or anything else it took to put bread on the table. Misty hooked up all kinds of electronic devices to her piano, so the two never really needed more band members.
\nWe had some great hit records in the seventies but with changes in country music, our fans eventually moved on and we are now retired and living in Florida. There are no residuals from music and most of the proceeds during our performing years were taken by studios and managers. The rest of our income we lived on during that time, eventually moving into and living in an older\u00a0motor-home. \u00a0We now live a modest lifestyle in our little mobile home rarely selling a\u00a0CD and living on a meager fixed income with no reserve, savings or cash on hand. We are admittedly and humbly broke. Had it not come to this plight, we might have convinced the world that we were doing fine for a couple who had some great and\u00a0humorous\u00a0hit records and appeared and performed on talk shows\u00a0and the CMA awards.
\n\"Jack&Misty2\"Friends of ours heard of our plight when the mobile home park we are living in sold the land and many of the tenants like us couldn’t afford the thousands of dollars to move their homes. The land is being bulldozed, people are moving away and their trailer homes are being destroyed one by one. We thought we would retire here but other plans were made that have broken our hearts. We can’t afford to move the trailer and we have thirty days to vacate.
\nOur lives have been turned upside down. After writing and performing hits like “Tennessee Bird Walk and Humphrey The Camel” our royalties and CD sales have dried up and our situation is currently dire. We are considering selling our small collection of memorabilia from our performances just to get into an apartment, however we have no means to move anything and have no storage area to take it to. It is heartbreaking to ask for help from our friends, our fans and others.<\/p>\n
