It's hard to imagine being so touched by a person I knew so slightly- two one week sessions at Pinewoods in the middle sixties- but I am glad I was able to tell him at a Maritime Revels in Seattle 30 years later that hearing him sing the Knight in the Road had literally changed the way I heard and participated in folk music for the rest of my life. It did, and I know he did the same for many, many others. A life well lived, and author of a multi-generational legacy of appreciation of traditional music, ritual and joy. Thanks, Jack, and a virtual hug to all of his family. I will be at the Puget Sound Revels this Sunday and hold my breath during the Abbots Bromley and sing The Lord of the Dance with 800 friends with extra gusto for Jack.
