19 Feb 05 - 10:35 AM (#1414955) Subject: Jack Elliott recordinnngs From: Flash Company Oops, new keyboard! Seems there is a Jack Elliott record out on Hightone? 'Lost Topic Tapes'. I didn't think that Topic ever lost anything, but it appears to be a live session in the Isle of Wight in the '50s. Anyone seen it? FC |

19 Feb 05 - 08:48 PM (#1415278) Subject: RE: Jack Elliott recordinnngs From: Leadfingers I have an EP of one of the Festival Hall recordings -Possibly early sixties - Jack Elliott (of Birtley) had broken his ankle and was still in plaster ! Introduced himself as 'Stumbling Jack , NOT Rambling Jack '!! The Rambling Jack CD's look well worth it !! |
20 Feb 05 - 01:15 AM (#1415405) Subject: RE: Jack Elliott recordinnngs From: open mike this fellow...i heard him not too long ago.... is known to ramble on...telling stories and talking...his name does not necessarily refer to travel. He was one of the featured performers when the national radio show Prairie Home Companion was performed and broadcast at a concert hall near here recently. As it turns out, there was a rodeo being held at an adjacent arena that same day . I believe he has been in rodeos, and has quite a few broken bones to prove it...well they are not broken now, they were fixed...http://www.ramblinjack.com/ |

I suppose I first heard Jack round about 1957, but was still horrified to realise that he is 73! As I have said before, God, I'm OLD!!!!! FC |
