I often find myself scratching my brain wondering that with the so much it knows, how much it doesn’t know, concerning Web searches.
You can log into YouTube, enter a search request for Little Black egg, and find it.
Enter in the search request for information on Jimmy Mac, & The BlackJacks and only what little I have carved out comes up.
From one end of this Tragic Valley to the others and often for less than we were worth, Every other Saturday, mostly summer and during grad and pep drill gigs, Jimmy MacDonald, Myself, Ron Adams, Jimmy’s other half , Ricky, Bro and I loaded up my mini Diesel, and off to play music.
I have played music with many, in both pro and not so pro circles. But few could compare to Jimmy. Jimmy had only one eye, fingers that bled, due to hacking metal during the week at the Hazzard County Garage along with myself, but on stage that man could take any rock, pop and even a few country tunes and mirror them note for note or doing his own version of it. We did up a few of our own things, trouble was, Jimmy did not like to see any sign of being recorded. This puzzled many of us, especially Ron and myself.
I can remember Ron lining up this so called talent scout that ran some half baked catering service to come watch us, at one of T-Willy’s Cruize Nights in Boise.
It’d been good if she had.
That was one night that the magic covered the sky.
We basked in the warmth of those partying in front of us grooving to hot rods, food that was fried, and us.
We as a band packed every venue and gig, we did. From one of the last at Bliss High School, which was at grad that year, to the final winners dance, of the last Football game played at Bliss High School.
We were the last band to play the Trophy Club in Glenn’s Ferry Idaho, The last band to play the Rock Tavern in Jerome, in fact we were the last band to play in the lounge at the Ponderosa Inn of Burley. A gig set up by Mom, through owner George Forschler who in reality was in partnership with my Da , for ownership and operation of the former Ponderosa. >a slight interger here, the legal staff of the Knytes is looking into our claims on and my personal claim, on the money paid at the sale of the Ponderosa. Seems as though some paperwork has surfaced that shows that ye ole Wolf here was quite a bit short changed on that sale of that property. Part of which is some property with a shop, more on this in another entry<
Any whoose, The life story in fact the legend that was Jimmy Mac, short for Mac-Donald, and the BlackJacks is so entrenched into the decade history of this area of Idaho, that I’m very surprised that no one outside of me has ever put up anything.
I only got melancholy over this, because I saw for a short time three days by the way, someone had put up 2 minutes of us at Bliss High School, playing music. Trouble is somebody took it down.
This all needs written about, cataloged and documented for once.
After we get the move complete from the Rode House into Knytes HQ on West Main here in Burley, I’m getting together with club historians to get this all in all forms of media. Written, video and of course audio.
What I will say is this. Throughout all this digging, there’s a bunch of people that’s going to get their ass scorched. A county Auditor Treasurer/Realtor, Another Real estate broker, several Sheriff deputies, one Sheriff, two Judges, who's butts will get fried. Reason, many cover ups and skullduggery is about to be uncovered.
Including two people who own radio stations in this area other than us.
Hey I told some people that they ought be nicer to the club, I tried to keep peace, but watch ass’s burn.
