The Late Jack Matthews, Mr E9th

Post by Henry Matthews »

Found this video I shot of Jack in July 2005 down at one of the monthly E.T.S.G.A. meetings held in Tyler. Jack was one of the smoothest pickers I was ever around and we miss him very much. Please excuse the sound, it's not the best.---Henry
