In April of this year, Yorkshire Publishing announced that after more than 20 years in the publishing business they were closing their doors. For the time being, this means that the book is out of print and once existing copies of the book are sold, fans will have to look online or in brick and mortar stores of merchants who sell used copies of out of print books. Author Jeremy Paul Ämick has indicated that he will be looking for a new publisher, but until then he has put a limited number of remaining copies up for sale on his Missouri History Moments website which is found at the web address linked below. Copies will also be available at Head East's merchandise table at upcoming live shows while supplies last. Limited copies are available so act now.

Jerry released his recording of Mama Let Him Play in 1977, and it made the Billboard top 100, peaking at number 46 in Canada. Jerry's band played a show with Head East, and Roger Boyd really liked the song. He thought it might make a great upbeat addition to the Head East show. Head East also toured with the top southern rock bands, and those groups had something in common that audiences enjoyed. They often had three guitarist, and would have extended solo passages where the guitarists would trade off or play solos together. Since the later Head East lineup had two guitarists, Roger added the Mnimoog synthesizer as the third solo instrument to make Mama Let Him Play more of an extended jam. The Head East version of the song pays tribute to Jerry by including his signature melodies and guiitar solos, and adds some new musical touches from the band's live performances. The single is now available on most major steaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and many more.
