I also listened to Jimmie back when he was making records, never saw him in concert, but sure liked what he did. He sort of falls in the same category as Nick Drake; a guy who got no respect...until well after his death. Maybe this will happen for Jimmie. This is timeless stuff and deserves to be heard.

There is a funny song by Richard Thompson with a line that says " Now that he's dead he's finally making a living". Nick had a little more commercial success after his demise. Jimmie certainly deserves it.

As life would have the early 1970's found me in the Army at Ft.Riley Ks, this is when I found out about Jimmie and had the good fortune to see him in concert at a small theatre in Kansas City Kansas. An awesome and unforgettable show.

1974 I was In Love .

I saw him In the late 70's or early 80's in the old Broadway theater in Kansas City, My old and Dear Friend and Radio Jock From KBEY, Art Hadley in Kansas City Turned me onto Him While I was Still in High School. I wore out a couple of copies of "Isle Of View" (or as It sounds phonetically "I'll Love You") If I ever Run Across a CD you can bet I'll Scarf it up. Rest in Peace Jimmie.

He is on my list of favorites and I know you have to admit some of you forgot how good he was.

Almost wore my album out sharing  it with others; when it was available I bought the CD to replace it, which is still in my car for frequent listening. I look for music this wonderful currently & cannot find it. We were, and are, blessed to have Jimi;s music in our lives.

Many years ago, in the 1970's I saw him at Stephen's College in Columbia, MO. The cost of the concert was $3 or $4 dollars. The Dragon is Dancing album had been released and he did songs from it and Isle of View. He danced during much of the concert. The music and dancing was truly beautiful, such a wonderful experience. I don't believe I've ever been the same since.

My favorite Jimmy song is " I'm so lonesome I could cry." It's amazing.

Hey guys...I have seen Jimmie 9 times and as I have gotten older I really appreciate his impact on music even more...I think Jimmie would have loved that he has picked up new listener long after his passing....I have been playing his music for years and still battle to reach his subtlety....he had such a beautiful way of expressing his music..and I believe that't why we're still here listening...always makes my heart feel good to listen.....best wishes to all of you....

I got to see Jimmie in concert twice in Oklahoma. Just him and his D35. The man was amazing, powerful, gentle,...unique. If only he had stayed true to his talent and vision and not been influenced by commercial phonies. Still,, treasure what we had in the beginning.
