I come back & watch this every once in awhile, just to keep the old memories bright!! I never knew Jr. personally but met him a few times. We were all fans of him going back to the Elephant Run days he crooned to all w/ Loralie (sp?) by his side......they were quite a show around '78-'79! I remember well how down right handsome he was, and later on. I hope you're making lots of music again w/ Leon & the gang up there Mr. Markham.
I miss Jimmy a lot, he used to ask me if I brought a keyboard every time I went to see him (I always did). I never wanted to ask him about the song but Chuck Blackwell told me a little creative license was used in the telling. ;)
He reminds of Jim Karstein so much the way they speak! The Tulsa vibe is so interesting, and it probably has been discussed but what I am interested in is the story behind the song “Shootout on the Plantation” which Jim Karstein talked about.
I had to wait this long to find all this about Leon. Saw Mad Dogs, Who is this guy with the hat? I am 69 years old now. Some times it so slow but now I see. Thanks
I laughed at the note in the bio about Jimmy going into clubs underage because with the help of a fake ID George Bingham helped me make I would get in to Jimmy's Paradise Club when I was a teenager. I got to see Albert Collins, Elvin Bishop, Son Seals and Gatemouth Brown among others. I remember very well a night the Gate was playing and Willie Nelson showed up about 2am to sit in. Good times!!

Jimmy was a very gracious genuine person and played a Smokin harp!
No kidding! He was such a kind and fun person. Learning so much about Leon through the lens of his life was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Jimmy was wonderful! We worked closely on Leon's birthday celebration at Cain's Ballroom and up until his death; he was planning the next one. :-(

miss him......
We do too! He was wonderful to us and to so many!

Me, too. Love that song!
Cool
Always wondered exactly where the Plantation was in the valley ....

Better late than never!! Welcome to the family!
Bob Stiles Mad Dogs and Englishmen was so fantastic. Leon, Joe, the musicians and singers, and of course the songs!!
