Back in the late '60's Jimmy brought a contingent of muscians from Mountain View to the university in Cape Girardeau, MO. I met him and Cleta at the Student Union and remarked that I had been listening to his music for 20 years, but the thing that first drew me to him was the sound of his old guitar. I asked if he was going to use it at the concert that evening. He answered in the affirmitave and looking around said, " There it is, over there, leaning against that chair. Go give it a try." I did just that! Later, in the very informal concert at the university, Jimmy taught me the lyrics to the "Butterbean Song". This meeting with Jimmy is one of my most treasured memories. Of course, he invited me down to Timbo (as he did just about everybody he met), and signed all the albums I bought. I never did make it down there, but I sure do have a warm spot in my heart for Jimmy, and those signed albums reside in a special place in my LP collection.
