A MESSAGE FROM JERRY
To all of my loyal fans and friends who have been with me through all these years - you know that I have seldom ever missed an appearance, and many of you have been wondering why recently I've had to postpone or miss a few of the current ones, including our concert at the Kimmel Center on January 28. Since Labor Day weekend I have had some health issues related to my torn shoulders. After getting all kinds of evaluations, it turns out it is more than the shoulders, it is a nerve and muscular issue. Recently I have been getting medical attention and the most modern therapies available for this condition, which is not life threatening, but because of the treatments, my doctors have advised me to cut down on my schedule for the time being. Even though this has forced me to limit some recent engagements, including, unfortunately, our New Year's Eve gala at Bally's (full refunds will be made), my Wednesday and Thursday appearances as of this writing are being covered for me by DJ David Virgilio at the Oar House Pub in Sea Isle City and we will be resuming our dance parties at Live! Casino in Philly in the near future, and you can still hear the best of both shows on the Geator Gold Radio Network, as well as all my other weekly broadcasts. With the medical attention and additional rest I've been getting, I look forward to being back back with you shortly. Thank you for your understanding and for the loyalty and respect that you've shown me throughout the years, and thank you for the love and support you have been sending my way. See you soon - The Geator, Jerry Blavat
Check the calendar for details about March 3-4 when Jerry once again hosts the annual Philly-Jersey Shore reunion at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida!
Thank you for making Jerry's historic 50th season at Memories in Margate so unforgettable - it was a record-breaking one, with wonderful new memories to cherish forever. He continues his happy hour dance parties and live broadcasts throughout the year every Wednesday at the Oar House Pub in Sea Isle City (join the live video broadcasts online at Mixcloud.com/live/jerryblavatlive) and every Thursday at Live! Casino in Philadelphia. Go to the CALENDAR for details about these and other events with the Geator all over the tri-state area.

THE GEATOR, FRANK & FRIENDS - Jerry's 2-hour show on WOND 1400 News Talk Radio at the shore, dedicated to Frank Sinatra and the artists of the era - has been changed back to Sundays from 9-11 am ET. We are happy that this show, one of Jerry's favorites to do, no longer conflicts with Jerry's Saturday show on WXPN from 6-7 pm or his live broadcast during the summertime from Memories in Margate.
NEW: Now, each week on Saturday, the calendar listing for Geator's Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues Express show on WXPN will display the show's theme. You can now listen to any of the last 10 XPN shows anytime, not just a continuous stream of the last 3 shows. Just go to xpn.org - click on PROGRAMS - then Geator RnR - then scroll thru the menu in the little box on the right for a listing of the available shows. To find out the theme of a particular show, go to the show's date on our calendar here and you'll find it.
Our calendar tells you everything you need to know about where you can join Jerry Blavat, the Geator with the Heater, live in your area, on the air, and worldwide on the internet!
