I just got home from seeing the film, "Ballad of Ramblin' Jack". It's WONDERFUL, with a lot of great performance footage, but it's a little sad too. It's a portrait of an irresponsible drifter with a great gift for music and storytelling. His daughter seems pretty disappointed that she didn't have the father she needed and that he doesn't get close to her, even now.
When I saw him, at the Bottom Line last year, he was O.K. but obviously past his prime. Still, it was a good show. Run, don't walk, if the movie comes your way.
