Ted Mulry's passing was truly sad
Growing up Ted was my uncle's best friend. My mother is always telling me the story of a teenage Ted Mulry sitting on her front porch strumming his guitar, and my grandfather asking her 'who the hell is that long haired kid'? My grandfather then proceeded to tell Ted 'How do you expect to be an entertainer with that hair?'
I got to meet Ted a couple of years ago at my uncles funeral. I remember him joking with my mother about what my grandfather would have said about his hair, which was still long...
He seemed to be a genuinely good guy. I remember him laughing when, at the reception following the funeral which was at the local pub, somebody played 'Jump In My Car' on the juke box.
