Champion Jack's been one of my favourites ever since I saw him in 1969 at Accrington Stanley Sportsman's Club (or the Jazz Club, to give it its informal name). I always thought it was fantastic that one of the blues greats should be living in Halifax.
Nice story about B.B. King, too. Thanks for that, Henry.
