He was a very sweet man and had the most unique voice dialect from his home region in the VA Piedmont. I have his autograph on a few CD's and it was so humbling to see this very talented artist painstakingly script his name - took him a few minutes to complete and I feel honored to have it. He picked up the banjo once and said "i don't know much about the ban-jah but I'll try" then proceeded to amaze everyone in the room. He's dearly missed
I was privileged to get to meet and know John Jackson during the early eighties. He was so gracious to invite me to play along side of him at the Belle Plantation when I was first learning to play guitar.
A great musicion, a great bluesman...a great man indeed!
That old Gibson sounds soooo good. RIP Mr. Jackson.
