Dr Ragtime and his Pals

Jack Rose and Friends
Brickbat Books
Philadelphia
7.10.09
featuring: Nathan Bowles, Harmonica Dan & Glenn Jones
This is a half hour of Jack performing that I shot the summer before he passed but never posted. Coming off the sessions for Luck In the Valley, this is Jack in full flight at the height of his powers on home ground. A Blues Colossus. Not to be missed.
Posted by Jesse in honor of the 2nd anniversary of Jack's passing.
The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
We miss you.

I sadly never got the chance to see Jack Rose live, actually got into his music years after his death, love listening to his songs and play some of them on guitar (to the best of my abilities). Even though he's been gone for some time now he's definitely not forgotten, his legacy and his fantastic music will live on! Thank you for the music Jack, see you down the line!

He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his friends and family. Such beautiful music, he must have been a wonderful person.

All due respect to the man and his legacy; if I may make an inquiry into his preference of strings: does anyone know if he was a medium gauge or light gauge player?

[@samwisegamgee4280]

6 years late, but he used John pearse or daddario phosphor bronze 12s

[@ennbee2051]

What's the first song called?

[@Uncreated_Light]

Does anyone know the name of the small handheld percussion instrument in the last song?

[@yeetoo]

spoons

[@guslucasguitar1127]

What's his tuning on the first song? Open Gb?

[@estera1621]

Is this a traditional music orsome like that?

[@francescogranatello9474]

anyone knows the name of the first piece?

[@peterjohnsmeyer9270]

+Ciccio B.A. Granatello I think that one was "Woodpiles by the Side of the Road" before the title was used for the track that's on Luck in the Valley.

[@francescop.granatello5137]

+Peter Johnsmeyer Thanks, but unfortunately it's not.

[@peterjohnsmeyer9270]

I'm actually pretty certain--check out the comment from Nathan himself at the bottom of this page: delta-slider.blogspot.com/2010/12/big-post-of-jack-rose-bootlegs.html You can also download this full show (7/10/09) and hear Jack reference the song by this name before playing it.

[@francescop.granatello5137]

+Peter Johnsmeyer Oh ok, but he spokes about the 2nd track. Anyway I'll listen the full show for sure. Thanks a lot Peter.

[@peterjohnsmeyer9270]

Yep, this video isn't the full recording. The first track in the full show is a medley of Kensington Blues, Blessed Be the Name of the Lord, Sail Away Ladies, and Luck in the Valley.

[@glennkimpton8585]

Wonderful stuff; anyone know the last track with Glenn on banjo?
