:( It has been a while since I talked to Jimmy, so I guess I am shocked at this news. He was a fun fellow to be around. He was a super Steel player and musician. "Rest High On That Mountain"

Jimmy played mostly on the west coast in SoCal. He worked with us awhile at the Swizzle Stik in Huntington Beach in the seventies. I remember he always used a low E string on his E9th neck which I thought was cool... JH in Va.
Don't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!!
