Subject: RE: Ramblin' Jack Elliott
I love Jack's recorded work and have many songs in my repertoire that were learned from Jack's records. His version of "Don't Think Twice" is my all time favourite (Sorry Bob.)

BUT, I have only seen Jack live once, at the Freetimes Cafe on College Street in Toronto. It was the worst show I have ever paid money to see. Jack started out drunk and ordered more tequilas during the night. He forgot words to songs and messed 'em up in other ways. We had been invited to a party after the show and since Jack was gonna be there, I was pretty excited, but after seeing the show, we decided to go home.

I still love Jack and hope that this was a one off.
