Jimmy was a rare talent, a critical part of the local music scene for many years and a beloved family member. Many of my youthful memories include Jimmy and his music and it makes me smile to think about how his warm personality came through on stage just like it did in person. May he rest in peace, and may peace be with you, Janet, JD and Steven. Love and hugs.
