 Includes NotesNotes for Jack Eugene Dwiggins:
Jack was influenced greatly by his father's hunting and love for the outdoors and was an avid fisherman, hunter and excellent ringer tosser in horseshoes. He also had a talent of playing the guitar much in the style of Chet Atkins. He learned the style from his father and musicians at family music sessions. His style was unique since he was left-handed and simply turned the guitar up-side-down to play it. Most left-handed musicians re-string and reverse the order of the strings. Jack often played at church and entertained at the Orestes Oak Tree Festivals. He also played the piano and played mostly on the black keys. His professional talents led him to play on several religious record albums. He loved practical jokes and was a cheerful person and dedicated Christian.
