He was widely regarded as the most profound exponent of acoustic guitar playing of his generation. Jack grew to be loved and admired by a great many people through his live performances, electric personality, profound cooking skills and a general mastery in the art of friendship. This concert is a release party for his new album Luck In The Valley and an occasion to celebrate and remember the good Dr. Ragtime. The artists performing were all dear friends of Jack's and admired by him musically.<br /><br />PERFORMERS:</p> <p>D.

The <a href="http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=f&amp;pz=1&amp;cf=all&amp;ned=us&amp;hl=en&amp;q=jack+rose">reports from across the web</a> show how much and how widely the man and his music were loved. He's left us, but those of us who knew Jack all have our own favorite stories, favorite songs, favorite memories of him, and those will never leave us.</p> <p>Some of us have been collecting particularly poignant memories of Jack.
