I "met" Jimmy on Lew's board in Jan. 99. My niece and I flew to Sacramento for a Stones gig in February and we just got to say a brief hello to him and Syph. Jimmy worked all day and the logistics just didn't work out. When I expressed interest in the whole bootleg thing, he burned some music and videos for me so I could get started trading. He would not accept anything in return, not even blanks to cover costs. That opened up an amazing burn and trade and gift of bootlegs for me for many years. The next few years we communicated both on the boards and email. In 2005, we met for a weekend of fun and craziness in San Francisco with SheRat, Pdog, Payphone Al along with Susan. Fantastic memories that will never fade. We had sporadic email communication for a time but eventually lost contact after that. I cherish my cd copy of Angels of Wonderland that he a Syph recorded. When he sent it, he made sure to tell me ahead of time that I was mentioned in the recording as being old school.😊 It's one of the first CDs I put on my IPod and it's on my favorite playlist. I always considered Jimmy a good friend. May he rest in peace.
