I LIVE ABOUT 2 MILES FROM JACK WENT TO VISIT OFTEN & ASK HIM ABOUT THE GOOD-OLD DAYS. HE WAS A FINE STEEL PLAYER AND WOULD TAKE TIME TO SHOW ANYTHING HE KNEW ABOUT THE STEEL GUITAR.I WILL MISS OUR VISITS AN CONVERSATIONS.

This news makes me very sad.Tim McCutchen introduced Jack to me at Joe's show in Harrison Arkansas over ten years ago.Jack became a precious friend to me,always having a word of encouragement for me at our conventions in Siloam Springs.He came over and played for us at the last convention that I was president of the SSSGC (2006).He met up with my buddy,Larry Gates.Both Larry and Jack played for Bobby Helms and it was a treat to listen to them sharing their memories with each other.That's what I like most about conventions.Meeting folks that have been there,done that and all their experiences.I've sat and listen to stories from Tom Brumley,Joe Wright,Jack Musgrave,Keith Hilton,Mac Carger and the list goes on and on.Their stories are treasures to share.Conventions are all about friendships to me. The music is secondary in my mind.I'll sure miss seeing Jack at the shows.He was a true gentle-man and I sure loved being in his presence.
