Bill, are you certain Jackie Washington actually died, or do you just mean that the personna Jackie Washington died? Since the mid-1990's the artist formerly known as Jackie Washington has been performing under his real name, Jack Landron. I last saw him in June 2000 in a benefit concert for the Clearwater in New York City. Other performers that night included Paul Winter, David Amram, Pete Seeger, and the Johnson Girls. I know it has been more than four years, but I really hope he is still alive. He was just as magnificent as back in the Jackie Washington days.
