I saw that too.   I haven't had time yet to check it out.   More important matters these days.   Thanks for putting this on the forum, Dusty.

Jack has been my fave Mark's side guitarist of the Straits days but unfortunately I was too young then. Hope to be able to attend him live now that he's back in the music buisness.

Indeed... but just as amazing that one day he was working in a guitar shop and the next he was in the biggest band in the world. MK giveth and MK taketh away. MK mentioned him at Mandela so it's strange that Jack seems bitter over how things went down. The book will be very interesting.

So many musicians came and left DS over the course of their history, and seldom did we ever hear the real reasons why from their perspective. (except perhaps for DK) That's why the book will be interesting. It will be nice for once to hear the full story (hopefully) from the musician himself.

It looks like Jack is still looking for a publisher...

Anyone could came up with any online solution that could be useful to him?
