It's around the anniversary of these events so I figured I'd put this tune up. The Jack in the title is Jack Ruby and this tune was written after reading "The Death Of A President," by William Manchester. The first two words in the song are "Sunburst Friday," which, of course, refers to the date Kennedy was killed and the first line in the second verse is "Ain't no lucky Monday," which was Ruby's first full day in jail after he killed Oswald. In spite of the subject matter, the music on this one iis relatively upbeat with a swing feel and the lyrics do their best to reflect the mysteries and weird stuff and that go along with such a complex case or story.
