>>I think “Jack” is supposed to be a nickname for “Jackson.”
Phil Harris was one of his sidekicks.
From Wikipedia:
Phil Harris as himself - A skirt-chasing, arrogant, hip-talking bandleader, he constantly put Jack down (in a mostly friendly way). He referred to Mary as “Livvy” or “Liv”, and Jack as “Jackson”. Harris explained this once by saying it’s “as close as I can get to jackass and still be polite”

LOL!! That's funny. I remember Phil Harris. He'd never be able to sing this song today:
"That's What I Like About the South"
