Jack was my grandpa, best guitar player I will ever know, 11 years old running film canisters on his bike from one theater to the next. - Posted by: Aaron Mooney (Grandson) on: Jun 10, 2019

Jack gave me my first orchestra It took place in Beausejour, Manitoba. What was unique about this job was the fact that Jack shouted out the chords for me as there was no music for me to refer to. I was the pianist. I must have been about 16 years old. The year was 1943. He taught me chords in the Ben Clasky music studio in the Time Building. He was a marvellous steel guitar player and a very nice person, in all respects I was active in orchestras until 1955. October 24, 2014 - Posted by: Dick Bell (Student) on: Oct 24, 2014
