Theme: David Amram and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott – Celebrating two iconic musical legends at 90

David Amram, classical composer and conductor, jazz musician and composer, folksinger and songwriter, turned 90 on November 17, 2020. Legendary folksinger and storyteller Ramblin' Jack Elliott, travelling companion to Woody Guthrie and significant influence on the young Bob Dylan, turned 90 this week on August 1. I’ve known Jack since 1971 and David since 1974, have worked with both of them numerous times over the years, and have learned much from them. Both Jack and David are still going strong and performing at age 90.
