Guitar arrangements of Jack McGann.

Many of you may not recognize Jack McGann's name as a guitarist since he never

recorded commmercially. You may however recognize the arrangement. Jack was

highly regarded among his peers for his arrangements of traditional blues,

ragtime, and swing music. He was also one of the most respected and admired

acoustic guitar teachers of the '70s and '80s. His arrangements have been

passed on by his students, grand-students, peers, peers' students, etc.

Jack was also a social activist, and became nationally known for his fight

for equal health care coverage for persons with AIDS.
