Good question Don -- 'Bimbo' was probably the first song by Jim, with the Brown's 'The Three Bells ' (late 50's) being a close second that sparked my interest in music. I completely agree Doris and Bev about the state of the 'so-called' country music these days. Unless you run and jump around the stage like an idiot, and wear an over sized cowboy hat, your chances of becoming a star are slim to none -- How sad is that!! Fortunately, we still have our Jim, nothing else matters.
Forever a Fan
Roy
