Larry Jackson- family & friendsTHE CHRYSLERS: Veterans of Radio, Stage & TV ... We grew fast! It's the 1960's. 13 TV appearances, 1 single record released... 4 Guys singing on a corner with a dream to live! THE CHRYSLERS, like many Do Wops of the 50's & 60's was born from 'street corner' singing and incidental meeting of friends. We are hot, tired & perspiring after a grueling 4 hour performance and our managers asked us to pose prior to getting out... LARRY JACKSON: The mid-life years ... Yes, there is a method to this madness! A wall covered with degrees, certificates and honors; a gorgeous 18th floor office overlooking both the North Baltimore hillsides and the Chesapeake Bay Inner Harbor along with the downtown skyline; This guy must really be a mental giant in the business world right? Naah- it's Ma Jackson's brown-eyed baby boy- Larry! Hey! How serious is a guy who drinks "imported beer" from a 3 Stooges Mug? What about a guy, who owns a collection of Chopin and listens tirelessly to R&B or Jazz, how stuffy is he? You just gotta like a man who wears a tie with "Dogs playing poker" on it! Of course, they didn't like his tie at office meetings but- hey- this is a man of the world! A former Chrysler. This guy has talent. Who dares ridicule his novelty ties, or his collection of 3 Stooges memorabilia, or his refusals to wear white dress shirts, just because he's nearing 50 years of age? Hey! Who wants to grow up anyway? Peter Pan has a great outlook on life!
