LOON’S NECKLACE: CALVIN JACKSON AND THE CONQUEST OF CANADA
by Jack Chambers

When Calvin Jackson left Toronto in the fall of 1956, he was, in the words of Jack Chambers, "probably the most famous musician in Canada." Three years later, Jackson was being written about in the "whatever-happened-to" section of the newspaper. Combining rigorous secondary-source research and new interviews, Chambers answers this question (and many more) in this fascinating profile of a nearly lost history.
