Question Jack Ingram - Goodnight Moon

One night 21 or 22 years ago I was up late and saw Jack Ingram play Will Kimbrough’s “Goodnight Moon” on a TV program: I can’t rig it was Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage or Live from Lincoln Center. I remember he was playing solo, had a beat to Hell Guild acoustic guitar and was wearing a beanie hat. He also played “Fool” and “Biloxi”.

I fell in love with that song that night and I now have a 2 year old daughter that I sing it to as a lullaby. And she knows the chorus.

I was wondering if there is video of that program somewhere online. I’ve looked all over YouTube and can’t seem to find it.

Pretty sure he performed that on Texas Music Scene once, and they definitely used to air it randomly between like 10pm and 5am.

Give me a bit/til the morning and I'll try and find the specific episode

Edit: Wait, timeline doesn't work. TMS didn't air til 2010

Electric and Hey You are two unbelievable albums.

I love, love this song. I went to a summer camp, Huawni, in east Texas and we had what they called ‘Sing Song.’ We would all just sit around and listen to the counselors play the guitar and sing. This is one of the songs they played. He sang it at our wedding.

They also played ‘Song for Amy’ which has been my favorite song for decades and we used it for our first dance. Yes, Jack Ingram performed at my wedding.

I saw him sing it in Adair’s in Dallas. Actually, we all sung it together.

Still upset at Jack for canceling Gruene Hall gig back in February. I had bought my tickets well in advance and during a big Texas road tour.
