https://youtu.be/wHSNORKSVWU In celebration of Jackie Washington's 101st birthday, the Home County Folk League is proud to bring together Ken Whiteley and Ben Whiteley, Colin Linden, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, Caitlin Hanford and Jesse Whiteley Music for a special look back at his incredible life and music. We would like to thank the artists for their time and talent. Jackie was a mainstay at Home County, and the area in front of the bandshell in Victoria Park (London, ON...) was renamed Jackie Washington Way for his contributions to the festival. Jackie's recordings can be purchased at Ken Whiteley's website: www.kenwhiteley.com #music #festival #london #ldnont #canada #ontario #live #folk #livemusic #jackiewashington #musicfestival #colinlinden #kenwhiteley
