Wade, No he didn't record Jimmy's intro on night life. That chord progression was around way before "Nightlife" or Jimmy or Buddy. It is just a standard chord progression that has been in music since the beginning of time, Buddy deserves the credit for "installing" it on the Nightlife intro.
Great C6th players? Curly Chalker, Maurice Anderson, Buddy Emmons, Julian Tharp, Doug Jernigan, Paul Franklin, Buddy Charlton, Joquine Murphy, Jim Murphy, Tommy White, Herby Wallace, Hal Rugg was, I'm tired of writing but there are hundreds of others that are great C6th players. Jimmy got his job done and made a great living without majoring in Cth like these other guys did, I'm not putting Jimmy down in any way, I've already stated that he was a great friend and that I thought he was a great E9th player, and knew the E neck about as well as anyone anywhere. However, to call him a great C6th player is to discredit all the incredible C6th players I named and a hundred more. I wouldn't say Ralph Mooney was a great C6th player either!
Jimmy played more E9th with less levers and pedals than anyone I know. His 8 string days were wonderful. What if I said Jimmy was the Jerry Byrd of the E9th?
You need some more names? Come on over next week and I'll try to make this more clear.
