Nice article. Jack was great at being able to play lines that differed so much from his vocal lines.

That player I think from Texas you posted once; I think he may have been blind.  I'm not sure.  He is the only one who seemed to be so comfortable playing bass and singing at the same time as Jack was.  He was no Jack Bruce, but seemed to have been born singing and playing bass.  The effortlessness with which he did it was immediately obvious.

Justin Trevino.

In most of the live videos of him on YT, he's playing guitar while singing, but here he's playing bass.

I had forgotten that the video had Amber Digby in it.  She is one of the most underrated singers ever.  I love her.

She and Randy Lindley, the guitar player, are now married.

I hope their band is successful.  She deserves it.

I don't see her gigging as much these days as she used to. Maybe b/c she's a mommy in her 40s. She's also a certified EMT. But when she does perform, she still has a devoted following.

it's good to hear that she still does have a devoted following, even if it's not quite what it should be.  Her talent is unique.
