Title	Richards Studio D163318-21
Description	Studio portrait of musician Grover Jackson. Mr. Jackson is peering thoughtfully, with eyes lowered, in this April, 1973, photograph. He is wearing a dark jacket decorated with blossoms and clutching his guitar. Grover Jackson was the frontman for the Grover Jackson 4, a group of country-western musicians, who chose to play in the Pacific Northwest. When Tennessee-born Mr. Jackson first arrived in the Northwest as a G.I. stationed at Fort Lewis during WWll, country-western music was nearly non-existent locally. He came back to the area to stay in 1956 and has been associated with Channel 13 since then where his Country Jam Saturday show was a popular feature. His group, the Grover Jackson 4, entertained in Holiday Inns and other nightclubs primarily in Western Washington. Mr. Jackson was lead guitarist in the group.
