I remember him as the voice of Bill from one of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock videos. RIP Mr. Sheldon; you done good.

Saw and heard him at Chadney’s a time or two in the mid 90s. He had a lot of fun at his gigs, and did his best to make sure his audience was having a good time.

My favorite Schoolhouse Rock was “Conjunction Junction.” Jack Sheldon was awesome.
