Jakson Spires

I'm watching old Blackfoot videos and I'm 60 years old now. I took my son this summer to see Skynyrd in Hartford Ct. Blackfoot was really the 2nd band of a 3 band show I saw as a teenager...and I fell in love with them thank you Jackson you are missed...

RIP Jakson. The world is missing you. Back in the early 80's I was living in Ann Arbor and frequented Al Nalli's Music. I then started going Saturday morning because I got to watch Ricky Medlock and Blackfoot walk in and go downstairs where Blackfoot was recording at the time. I had seen Blackfoot many times as a teenager in Ohio, so I was thrilled to see this happening at Al Nalli's. Well, one night I was at the Del Rio sitting at the bar and noticed I recognized the man sitting two stools...

RIP brother, loved your drum playing.

The source of all the great Blackfoot lyrics !!

Thank for the memories

I like his war to Play the drums. There was a lot of things I learned by listening to him. I keep his music alive.

Fly High Jak! You are in all our hearts forever and always. We have learned so much from you. You have taught us all to never give up on our dreams. You also gave us such a great lesson in love, friendship and family. Your voice, music, and love of life, will forever be a part of us. Whenever we speak your name, hear your music, or cling close to the ones we love in our lives...we will be smiling, as you would want us to. You have left so much to so many. You will always be missed, but never...

May you rest in peace now. I know you were a great asset to AA music and I know Jim Tate will really miss you.
