Jackson Carey Frank (March 2, 1943 – March 3, 1999) was an American folk musician. Although he released only one official album in his lifetime and never achieved much commercial success, his influence stretches to several well-known singer-songwriters such as Paul Simon, Sandy Denny, and Nick Drake.
When Jackson Frank was 11, a furnace exploded at his school, Cleveland Hill Elementary School in Cheektowaga, New York. The fire, on March 31, 1954, killed fifteen of his fellow students, including Marlene du Pont, Frank's then girlfriend, about whom he would later write the song "Marlene". Frank survived, but suffered burns over 50% of his body. During his hospital stay he was introduced to music, when a teacher, Charlie Castelli, brought Frank an acoustic guitar to keep him occupied during the recovery. When he was 21, he received an insurance check of $110,500 for his injuries, enough for him to "catch a boat to England."
His eponymous 1965 album, Jackson C. Frank, was produced by Paul Simon while the two of them were living in England immersed in the burgeoning local folk scene. Frank was so shy during the recording that he asked to be shielded by screens so that Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, and Al Stewart could not see him, claiming 'I can't play. You're looking at me.' The best-known track from the sessions, "Blues Run the Game", was covered by Simon and Garfunkel, and later by Wizz Jones,Counting Crows, John Mayer, Mark Lanegan, Headless Heroes, Colin Meloy, Bert Jansch, Eddi Reader, Laura Marling and Robin Pecknold (White Antelope), while Nick Drake also recorded it privately. Another song, "Milk and Honey", appeared in Vincent Gallo's film The Brown Bunny, and was also covered by Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, and Sandy Denny, whom he dated for a while. During their relationship, Jackson convinced Sandy to give up her nursing profession to concentrate on music full-time.

Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941) is an American musician, actor and singer-songwriter. Simon's fame, influence, and commercial success began as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, formed in 1964 with musical partner Art Garfunkel. Simon wrote nearly all of the pair’s songs, including three that reached No. 1 on the U.S. singles charts: "The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson", and "Bridge over Troubled Water". The duo split up in 1970 at the height of their popularity, and Simon began a successful solo career as a guitarist and singer-songwriter, recording three highly acclaimed albums over the next five years. In 1986, he released Graceland, an album inspired by South African township music. Simon also wrote and starred in the film One-Trick Pony (1980) and co-wrote the Broadway musical The Capeman (1998) with the poet Derek Walcott.
Simon has earned twelve Grammys for his solo and collaborative work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2001, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2006 was selected as one of the "100 People Who Shaped the World" by Time magazine. In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine named Simon as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists. In 2015 he was named as one of The 100 Greatest Songwriters by Rolling Stone Magazine. Among many other honors, Simon was the first recipient of the Library of Congress's Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in 2007. In 1986, Simon was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music, where he currently serves on the Board of Trustees.

Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Sunlight dances slowly on a drum beats broken rhyme I speak in answers only to see them in my mind If I had a penny I'd throw it in the sea to see if would float away Or grow of any tree I play the fool of rhythm To speak of what is sane I never think of singing to those who feel the same See how high the rain falls See the color in my hair Hunt for golden pourage bowls Hear the paper tear Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Death gives no reason So why should I Death has no season So I know I'll never die Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind
Jackson C. Frank was born in Buffalo on March 2, 1943, but his fate was sealed the morning of March 31, 1954, he was only 11-years-old. A furnace explosion ignited a wall of fire that consumed the old wooden annex at Cleveland Hill School in Cheektowaga, nearly wiping out a 6th grade music class in session at the time. 15 of his classmates died, Jackson suffered severe burns covering more than 50% of his body.

This is how I play Milk and Honey. I'd like to say that this was posted due to overwhelming public demand; in truth however, three people have asked for it (and three's a crowd - per the old adage). I can't find any TAB for it, I just worked it out one rainy day, but this video should get you well on your way. It's one of Jackson's simpler songs (at least my version is). Post me a comment to let me know how you get on - or even a video of you playing it. Enjoy. Standard tuning. Capo @ 8th fret.

Shaky video at first but an important document from 1965 and the London Scene. Contains the only known performance footage of Jackson C. Frank, and is a good in depth look at the amazing woman called Judith Piepe, who was a catalyst in the early career of Paul Simon. Her flat in Dellow St was a haven for young folk singers, including, besides Jackson Frank and Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Sandy Denny, Weston Gavin, and Al Stewart.

Lyrics (click SHOW MORE): Following a signal I received in France Watching all the traffic going by, Your hair is done in sequins, you wear leather pants, Soldiers at the crossroads wave goodbye. It's already over in October, Already Christmas every year, It's always good to sing when you are sober, It's always good to wipe away the tears. Sometimes I think we'll all go up in smoke, Owing that the passage is not clear. There is a man who probably will choke On the words that sound so violently sincere. Chorus There was a woman wore my ring upon her hand Warning me to judge the way I feel, Right on surface of everything I planned She cut too deep to ever really heal. Choru...

Hello, back again after a long absence... forgive me, I'm a bit out of practice at this. Also excuse my usual rambling self and the long video. So this is really just a taste of the records I have yet to show, much more to come. Special thanks to DJ Trish and Mr. John Tambroni for the thoughtful VCLT. Thanks for watching! Please comment.

I’ve seen your face in every place that I’ll be goin’
I read your words like black hungry birds read every
song
Rise and fall
Spin and call
And my name
Is carnival
Sad music in the night
Sings a scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear and disappear
In the forest
Short and tall throw the ball
And my name is carnival
Strings of yellow tears
Drip from black wire fears
In the meadow
And their white halos spin
With an anger that is thin
And turns to sorrow
King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival
Here there is no law
But the arcade’s penny claw
Hanging empty
The painted laughing smile
And the turning of the style
Do not envy
And the small
Can steal the ball
To touch the face
Of carnival
The fat woman frowns
At screaming frightened clowns
That move enchanted
And a shadow lie and waits
Outside your iron gates
With one wish granted
Colours fall
Throw the ball
Play the game
Of carnival
Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize
The danger
The world that comes apart
Has no single heart
When life is stranger
Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival
Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
