Jimmy Day sure had a unique sound. I am happy I saw him more than once at steel shows.

Thanks for posting this. Buddy called Jimmy “ his teacher”. This recording certainly sheds light on why Buddy would say that. I had not heard this one! Awesome!

Jimmy had so much heart and soul in his playing. Seen him at many of Scotty's St Louis steel conventions.

Jimmy Day was in our spare room many times in the early 70's...He and my Pops were old friends.

Jimmy was one of a kind, for sure. I was fortunate to sit by his side some times at a little music store in Florida, when he would come by. He felt free to set up in the store and just play for himself, no audience, no concert. How he could play something so complicated and make it seem so simple, amazing.
