Thread Name: Ramblin' Jack Elliott on the box!
Subject: RE: Rambling Jack on the box!
There is a good story that the great Eddie Walker tells about Hamish Imlach and another guy who were tasked with collecting Rambling Jack Elliot, The Rev Gary Davis and two American female backing vocalists from Glasgow airport in 1964, probably for the tour that Will Fly mentioned. Having had a few drinks waiting for the plane Hamich`s mate asked him how they would recognize the foursome and Hamish said something like "keep your eyes open for a black preacher, a cowboy with a wooden leg and two red indians", or words to that effect.
