Jack Answers Your Questions on Tuesday!
The Man himself has taken time out from his many projects to answer some of your questions!
Rachel F. had several questions for Jack and we've posted them along with Jack's replies for everyone to see.
Rachel asks "Are you coming to Canada again? Do you still tour? Are you married or in a relationship? Do you like younger women? What kinds of foods do you enjoy eating? What is your idea of a perfect date?"
Jack said, "Dear Rachel, I hope I will be able to come to Canada sometime in the future."
"I stopped touring about 10 years ago after many, many years on the road but you never know."
"Yes, I'm married. Young women are nice but as I say, I'm happily married."
"I like interesting food, something with a bit of thought put into it. I'm not a plain food fan."
"A perfect date would be spending time alone with someone who is intellegent, well read, artistic and beautiful, like my wife."
"Hope this helps, Love Jack."
Janet & Matt Rogers had two questions for Jack
"When will your new music be released?" & "Are you other albums going to be released on MP3 or CD? Thank you Jack."
Jack Green replied, "I hope to release some tracks soon. When they do come out I expect they'll be on CD."
"I'm also hoping to put some new music on this site as well as my autobiography as soon as it's finished."
"I'm really happy to be in touch with those who appreciate my music."
"I have a film production company nowadays, so I'll be sending you some interesting things to watch, so be sure to keep checking in to this site for new developments."
"Hoping to speak to you soon."
"Be cool, Jack ."

Remembering Gary McGowan
Gary Alexander McGowan passed away at the tender age of 50 after a long and hard fought battle with brain cancer. Fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him as 'The Hair' for his long and naturally curly hair, Gary was more than just a radio personality or concert promoter. He was our friend, teacher and mentor, and lent a guiding hand to those of us who were a part of Edmonton's early days of FM Radio and the local music scenes. Without him, many of the great concerts that were staged in Edmonton might not have happened. Gary had a way of making everyone feel right at home and he had an amazing memory for faces, names. dates and concert tours.
Gary also went well out of his way to obtain plenty of Jack Green's records, tapes, CDs and promotional items for all of Jack's fans in Canada. When Jack came to Edmonton as a solo artist for his Canadian Tour, Gary bought dozens of tickets to Jack's show out of his own pocket and then gave them away to Jack's fans who couldn't afford to buy them. Many people who got to meet Jack that day and see his awesome Standing Room Only shows were there solely because of Gary McGowan's generosity. Gary also hosted the parties after Jack's shows and everyone who attended will remember what a great time we all had.
Gary freely gave from his big heart and will never be forgotten for all that he did for this great city.
Gary McGowan's radio career spanned several decades and he promoted countless shows and financed many tours by up and coming bands and solo artists. He also brought many popular performers to the City of Edmonton, often out of his own pocket.
As Gary was a long time fan of Jack Green's early music with T-Rex and The Pretty Things and Jack's great solo career, we respectfully give him and his many achievements the credit that he truly deserves.
Gary, we heartily thank you for all you have done for all of us, our lives won't be the same without you.
Farewell our friend, you will be missed!
