When I first saw the name Jimmy Lee in this ng I thought it might be a guy I used to jam with in CA but I never bothered to ask him (he wasn't acting like the guy I remember). In the old days (mid to late 70s) the guy I knew went by his real name, Jim Collins, but I'd heard that he'd changed it to Jimmy Lee (note the spelling) for stage use. I'll get back to this in a bit... told you I was gonna punish you On the day these events both occurred the proud father moment was a gig my boys played (their first real gig) at a local club close to us. This gig was performed on the same day that a SPAH (http:// www.spah.org/) convention was held in Denver. My bro in law is a harp player and he went to it, as did a local harp player named Clay Kirkland and they were surprised to see each other later at the venue my sons were playing at; my boys were opening the show for Clay that night (thankfully, to a packed house). Clay came in and was walking past the band stand towards the back of the club. He's mainly a blues player, though he appreciates jazz music so he quickly glanced over at the band to see who it was, I suppose, but then kept walking for a second. He stopped dead in his tracks. a few feet from me. He looked back at the stage, then he turned towards me with a look of astonishment that quickly dissolved into a huge grin. My youngest son was on bass and playing a really nice solo on a pretty tricky jazz tune (Giant Steps) done at a quick tempo. The funny part is that, at 12 years old, my kid looked like he was about 9, hence Clay's double- take. Back to the Jimmy Lee part of your punishment Later that night Iwent to some harmonica performances down in Denver by some of the SPAH attendees (Jason Ricci played) and Jim was there, too. I hadn't seen him since the 'old days' and almost didn't recognize him (he didn't have a lot of hair We talked shit for awhile and Ieventually found out that he had changed his name, to "Jimi Lee" (http:// www.jimileeband.com/). I don't think Jimmy Lee is Jimi Lee (who is really Jim Collins)... but ya never know A nice story. I don't think it's the same Jimmy Lee though. The only instrument this Jimmy Lee can play is the skin flute. "Meat whistle blues" is the song he's best known for. Geez... I was trying a new tactic here... mesmerize the troll into submission... but it failed miserably. I see I'm gonna have to come up with a new plan LOL! |
