I was lucky enough to share the stage with Jim for over 5 years. We began as a duo for 8 months in 1999, i would pick him up from his home in Balmain and we would go out on the weekend travelling and playing in clubs, pubs, RSLs and such.
We would play to the old folks at an RSL somewhere in the afternoon, then go play in a trendy nightclub somewhere at night to the young folks, they loved him.
It was an amazing time, hearing Jim's stories and playing guitar with him.
Rob and I even met at a Jimmy gig in Tamworth, so us Yearlings have much to thank Jimmy for.
A gentle spirit and a great man.
What I learnt I will keep forever.

There will be a service for him on May 3 at the Sydney Opera House which I will be performing at in the house band and will include a list of great people (keep posted for more details).
The Yearlings have been invited to play now also. Which we are honoured to be a part of.
