Not that it means anything, but I read that he is married. In addition to great vocalists, the Boogie Kings had superb musicians and they were a big band with guitars, saxes, horns, etc.
Kertacy was acutally one of my best friends in school in Denham Springs - His nickname was COD for the candy bar he loved - He moved to Denham Springs where his dad worked at Bob Jones Chevrolet - He was so ahead of his time opening clubs and booking acts - He started off booking the Copas Brothers and moved on from there - I saw Robert Palmer at Cahoots and everyone that played at the Kingfish - Usually never paid admission due to our friendship - I was wondering where he was buried - Miss those days
