Thanks for posting this Janet.  It is an excellent song (lyrics and performance).  We all are going to miss Jimmy and his contributions to the forum.

Thank you, Freddy.  Yes, he was good and he'll be missed.  Just the other day I was playing a piano piece and kept thinking 'Jimmy would want me to do THIS or not do THIS.'  I guess Bob was right...his legacy lives on.  :)

On another note, I sent about 5 songs, including this one, to HelloMusic a few months ago.  They sent critiques back for each one. This one got the best rating, thanks to Jimmy. :)

This is my first visit here since Jimmy passed.  This is a remembrance that Jimmy would love.  I do!   I'm sure he probably had no idea (or maybe he did) that it would be a tribute to him.  It's beautiful, Janet, music and lyrics, and Jimmy seems to be here right now as the song ends.  Wierd, huh?  I was going to rewire a telecaster and Jimmy PMd me with some of the best instructions I could get.  He didn't know me that well then and took a lot of time to help.  We also talked about faith (concerning some of my lyrics) and I firmly believe that Jimmy is where I hope I will be when it is my time.  I believe there is a place for good folk!

Thank you, Warren. :)  I think up until a few months ago Jimmy had no idea how far advanced his condition was, as he kept talking about getting better so he could keep singing and help me with my mixes. :)  He was a great guy, wasn't he?  I also believe he's singing with the best of them now and enjoying himself more than we can ever imagine.  Fortunately, it's not just a place for good folks, but for those of us who know we're bad but trust in the One who is good and made it possible for us to live with Him forever. :)  Thanks again for stopping by.
