Police Athletic League, Suzannah B. Troy's wish involving PAL, Jaee Logan and Giuseppi -- the documentary
Jaee Logan is working on a documentary film based on losing his son and finding his father. Jaee confirmed to me he found his father because of my YouTubes. I am also proud because my tubes brought Giuseppi Logan back in to the public eye where he was much loved and appreciated in the 1960's when he cut 2 successful records.
My first YouTube I have moving words roll down the screen saying he is homeless...he needs a home to compose music, to play his music.
Since that YouTube he has cut his first new album mostly with his new original compositions composed as he sat on the benches of Tompkins where I filmed him.
When I spoke with Jaee, I told him he should do a movie. He is now doing so and it will tell his story.
The film's driving force is his son Jaee, almost musically gifted, an honor student like his dad and also a football who was brutally murdered in a random act of gun violence. He was shot several times in the back of the head.
It is early on and the goal is to get the documentary done and out there by next year.
Here is a promo Jaee had made....

I am a regular donor to PAL. A small donor but regular and my hope is when Jaee is ready to show the completed work here in NYC that he can do something with PAL as well to help NYC kids because just like CA where Jaee hails from here in NYC there is too much gun violence. It would be great to have screening with PAL for a fund raiser but even better maybe is Jaee and his friends spending time with PAL kids in concert with showing his documentary here in NYC...
This is all premature because the film is in it's beginning stages but I just wanted to say that is my dream.
You can see my many postings of Giuseppi Logan and Jaee -- you just have to search on the search engine on this blog and go to YouTube and search under Suzannah Troy and Guiseppi Logan.
