Mike, I'm so sorry for your loss. I met/talked to Jack a couple of times, once at a Greenville steel guitar convention and once at Saluda and both times he was very friendly. He sure loved to talk steel.

Horrible news,
I've known Jack many years. Won't be the same around here. Mike will carry on the great legend that Jack started. We all have Jack to thank for Mike Bagwell, one of the worlds finest, nicest, players of steel guitar. Jack wasn't only Mikes father but also his mentor. This is one of many of the great things Jack has done for the world of steel guitar. My condolences to Mike and family. We will all be thinking of you.

Deepest sympathy to Mike and Family-Jack used to clown on me every year at Scotty's about me being (from Chicago)a member of organized crime gang
