Subject: Happy! - Apr 5 (Mad Jack / Warner) From: Abby Sale Date: 05 Apr 06 - 08:28 AM Happy Birthday! Capt. John "Mad Jack" Percival was born Apr 5, 1779 (d.9/17/1862)
Romanoff says: "'The Ballad of Mad Jack' excerpts a fraction of the outrageous episodes in the long life of one of America's great heroes. The Cape Cod native terrorized the British navy in the War of 1812 and single-handedly saved U.S.S. Constitution ('Old Ironsides') from an ignominious scuttling." (in 1828?) [thanx Barry Finn, May 1999] ALSO: Bearded fiddler, Dave Swarbrick was born 4/5/1947. ALSO: Singer & major collector (with wife, Anne) of Folk Songs and Ballads of the Eastern Seaboard, Jeff's dad, Frank Warner, was born in Selma, AL on 4/5/1903 (d.2/78) Early warning notice: This series of the Happy File noncontinues beginning April 16.
