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.

Jack's version in A mixes measures of static bass notes with measures
of bass counterpoint. Contrast this with Dave Van Ronk's version in G
which uses only static bass notes. Both Jack's and Dave's arrangements
for guitar seem to be influenced by Leroy Carr's piano arrangement.
