Who is Chris Farmer and why did he sign my Jan & Dean album?

[Admin]

Chris Farmer is a singer and bass player who started playing with Jan & Dean as part of the Bel Air Bandits in 1981. He is a trained musician and has also played with the Beach Boys. Talented fellow.

Thanks, I actually bought this album thinking his signature was a early Jan Berry signature until the album came and I saw Love Jan up in the top left. Fact is, nobody has any record of Jan's signature before the accident so I have no idea.

Not true . . . There are many surviving signatures by Jan before the accident.

Where can I find one?  Google has none. What makes it so hard is that Jan signed so many things after the accident.

[Admin]

Jan used a couple of variations.

BlackSea posted an example he bought on e-Bay earlier this year.

And a couple of examples will be in my book.

I am looking forward to your book!
