John Jackson: The Blues

True story:

John Jackson came to one of my yard sales, back in 1998, I think. I had no idea who he was! I found out later, of course.

He bought one of my father's most beat-up old coats and an old suitcase, just as beat up. I thought that I was doing a homeless guy a favor by coming down on the price. I found out a few weeks later just who had visited my yard sale, and he and I had a great discussion about playing Scott Joplin's music.

John Jackson is recognized today one of the most famous singers of the Piedmont Blues.
