Well at least if you believe the date 23rd of July 1909 as being his
birthday he would have been 100 tomorrow - there are at least 3 other
dates often published, but he used to celebrate on the 23rd of July.
Jack lived in Hannover from 1975until his death from cancer here on 21st
of January 1992. His was the first New Orleans-style funeral Hannover
had ever seen.

Not sure who the other guy is - Eddie something or other - chatting
between sets.

He could spend hours telling stories at the bar

A great bluesman, a brilliant cook, a very wry sense of humour and very
apt to explode and get really mean at times:
Cheers
