Jimmy will most likely be mad at me for posting this on the forum. He is an amazing dude. He went blind way before trying to learn to play this instrument. He plays better than a lot of us and has never seen his guitar. with all the negative things that has happened in his life, He has always seen the positive. Play on my friend.

Dale,

Tell Jimmy I really enjoyed his playing. He plays with a lot of feeling and heart and better in tune than many who can see the frets. Amazing!

Where is Jimmy from. There is a great Steel player in St Louis who is blind. Just wondering if it may be him.

Thanks guys I will pass the nice comments on to him....once he starts speaking to me again. Laughing
He was at my place trying out some speakers for his amp and I recorded him on my I phone with out him knowing until he finished the song. Bill, Jimmy is from Farmington. I've known him for 20+ years. He played guitar also, untill he cut the tip off a finger(left hand) wile using a table saw! Like I said he is an amazing dude and not afraid of anything. He has a great personality and attitude. Dale
