Greetings:

According to a death notice in the November 26, 2006, issue of The New York Times, Vincent J. Longhi passed away last week at the age of 90. Better known as Jimmy Longhi, he was a singer, an activist in the National Maritime Union, and one of Woody Guthrie's closest pals. Jimmy served together with Woody and with Cisco Houson in the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II. Woody wrote a song called Seamen Three about the trio, and Jimmy later wrote a book called Woody, Cisco, and Me about their time together. After the war, Jimmy attended law school and later became Woody's attorney.

Maybe someone has some additional information to share?
