Well late as it is - I felt compelled to post a tribute to Jimmy. I have lived in Australia for 24 years now and only just found out about Jimmy's passing. Back in Dublin in the 70's I never missed a Red Peters Floating Blues Band Sunday session at the Meeting Place and used to live at the Baggot Inn and remember those truly great days of fun, great music, Guiness and lots of hows your Father.

When himself, Red, Declan and the others got going at the Meeting place - it was dynamite, tiny stage that it was. Witnessed moments of some of the best blues playing I can ever remember. Jimmy was as well known and respected face around the Dublin music scene and I admit I used to fancy the knickers off him and his gorgeous smile - with no success mind you.

Vale Jimmy - thank you for the soaring riffs, the great times and the great music. May your spirit rise and watch over the rest of the blues gang to make sure they keep in tune.

Sincere condolences to Pauline and family - I am sure that you miss him so much.
