Jimmy's 90

Jimmy Lindsey is one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. He has forgotten more in music than I will ever know. He is also so encouraging to people, especially young people. He is very fond of Katlin and was telling her here that she had what it takes to go all the way with her music. We went to La Plata , Mo. for the birthday party. Leaving Fairfield about 9 AM. It was a pot luck and my the food!! Kind of like an Eklund gathering. At 90 you really don't expect a person to have many friends left, but there must have been well over 100 people there. A testamony to the kind of man Jimmy is. They came and went all day..

Here is Katlin playing with the Bluegrass Blondies. She then played several songs on her own. She really likes to preform. And I might say did a fine job.


This group of players (recognise any one?) were in the kitchen area warming up as they said, kind of tight quarters.



This is Jimmy on stage with his daughter Betty.


And with his granddaughter Lindsey. She is in college so they don't get to play together often. It was a nice day. Dawn and I had to drag Scottie and Dan off the stage. Come to think of it Lloyd was up there too.
