Jazz musician Frank Jackson performs “Christmastime is Here” at Bethel Salter AME Church in Cleburne. The well known song from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was composed by Jackson’s friend and former classmate Vince Guaraldi. Jackson said the piano was out of tune, but went on to play three songs during a recent visit to Cleburne. Born in Cleburne, Jackson later moved to San Francisco where he began his musical career winning many awards and playing with many jazz legends through the years. A story on Jackson appears in the July/August issue of Community Life.
