There are suggestions of Satie, Brahms, hopscotch ditties and Protestant anthems. One of his albums, "Daft Ditties", is composed entirely of comedic songs. Jackson's early musical material consisted of folk ditties influenced by Joni Mitchell. He wrote drinking songs and love ditties which were very popular among the Greeks. Psychopaths' began to appear in vaudevilles, ditties (songs) and press articles. "Trouser Press" writer Ira Robbins described the album as a "treasure trove of memorable ditties". Profoundly ambitious passages lie side by side with meaningless, mechanical ditties. He made them sound simple, but underneath, they were complex pieces of art, not ditties. His ditties mostly related to cricket and football. Recent work includes character roles in the Dark Ditties series on Amazon Prime.
