Jack Rose 1971-2009

The world lost a great guitarist and a fun guy to be around. I did not know Jack all that well, but had made music with him on several occasions when I was with the Black Twig Pickers. He had become an influential fingerpicker in recent years and seemed to have really found his musical voice.

Jack was best pals with my friends and fellow BTPs Mike Gangloff and Isak Howell, who are grieving over his death.

Jack was only 38.

Only the good, as they say.

I want to have youtube worth watching when I die, and I swear to God I mean no disrespect.

He was good.
