Link: A letter from John Rex about Leo
Message modified by board administrator 5/11/2008, 8:16 pm
On May 4, 2008, Leo Jackson passed away. He was the original Blue Boy, Jim's lead guitar and by all accounts Jim's favorite. This is a great loss to the Reeves community and a great loss to Nashville music.
I had the chance to meet Leo and a few years ago I interviewed Leo several times by phone about a play I was writing.
He was a very nice man. Leo loved Jim Reeves very much and was very helpful in providing information about Jim for my play.
Few people knew as much about Jim as Leo.
Leo was a great guitarist and he will be missed. Please follow the link below to read a letter from my dad about Leo.
