    In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove

    And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
    And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared, 'Let there be HOUSE!' and house music was born.
    'I am, you see, I am the creator, and this is my house! And, in my house there is ONLY house music.
    But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!'
    And, you see, no one man owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
    You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house.
    House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body.
    And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music.
    And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper.
    And, in this house, the keeper is Jack.
    Now some of you who might wonder, 'Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?'
    Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
    Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
    Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
    Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
    Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house.
    You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
    It don't make a difference in OUR House.
    And this is fresh."

      Ah, but what was "Jacking" originally? Wikipedia puts it so clinically - "dancing and music forms of jacking itself were sexually charged in its earliest forms, with couples (often two men or two women) grinding their pelvises together" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacking

        Detroit and Chicago gave us house, but New York gave us "jacking"

        It was fun while it lasted...

              Detroit gave us Techno, think Kevin Saunderson.

              btw - I'm busy digitizing *loads* of stuff that I recorded off pirate radio in London the late 80s / early 90s. Can't wait to finish so I can upload it for MS and share the love. Then you'll know the meaning of Jack! Even got a very old Digweed and Sasha mix.
