GLENN JENKS, 69, on Jan. 21 in Camden, Maine. As a teen studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and went on to graduate Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in music from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. Joined country singer-humorist Jud Strunk in 1975 as guitarist-vocalist. During the 1980s, was associated with the New Vaudeville revival, serving as pianist with the New England New Vaudeville Review. For 11 years, he produced the annual Harvest Ragtime Review in Camden. One reviewer wrote: “A striking demonstration of how ragtime should be played: positive, but now overbearing; delicate, but not cloying; innovative, yet familiar; and on occasion, with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
A book of his original rags, Glenn Jenks • The Complete Ragtime Works for Piano, was released in 2020
