Jimmy died on 12Jul98, age 91. His wife Cleda is not well, though I have not heard anything lately. (I can make a more accurate statement tomorrow if I think to ask at the Folk Center) There is another mention in this thread about the Tennessee Stud. Sorry, but the obituary and other articles from the News Democrat link mentioned in one of the threads posted by Gene are long gone, and I neglected to save the text anywhere. The actual print articles I gave to friends who knew him.

The Log Cabin Democrat, Conway, Arkansas has a good article which is still on line.
