Being an ETA for over 25 years, means you really enjoy what you’re doing - more over, that the people enjoy the entertainment of the ETA! Trained by a coach to sing many styles of music, including Gospel, Jack soon realized his potential as an ETA and always having kept Elvis in his heart, he would soon prove to be a wonderful entertainer. Elvis was to perform in Maine on Aug. 18 th, ’77 - in ‘99, Jack was part of a tribute show at that same Center, as a gift to the people of Maine, who never got to see Elvis’ show. Jack as an ETA with respect for Elvis, named his tribute show “Unfinished Business” on that very night and continues to take care of “unfinished business”, performing around the US to Canada, to large and small audiences alike, spreading a message of peace. While competing at the Elvis Extravaganza finals in Nevada on Jan. 6, 2002, Jack received the Humanitarian Award! go to ladyluckmusic.com for more..

2001 The King Center Show. Dick Grob, head of security for Elvis from 1967 - 1977, then continued to work security for Vernon Presley, was Jack's special guest for this show. During the show Dick came to the stage and talked to the audience about meeting Elvis, their working relationship, and subsequent friendship. He goes on to tell how Elvis was not only great, but he was the greatest, that none had come before him and none would go after. He then tells the audience how Elvis's shows were electric, and that Jack's show that night had the exact feel of an Elvis show - the electricity, the lightning.
August 17, 2002, Jack and the LST Band were invited to the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine to perform for the 25th Anniversary of Elvis’s death. The Cumberland County Civic Center was to be the first stop in Elvis’s fall 1977 tour but never happened due to his untimely death. Invited guests included Jim Mydlach, lead security guard for Colonel Tom Parker and who was with the Colonel when they received the call that Elvis had died, Dick Grob, security guard for Elvis, and Donna Presley Early, cousin to Elvis.
