He called it like his Sneedville, Tn eyes saw it. Remember, there are 2 kinds of tears and Jimmy has cried them both. Stay tuned for 35 more short films about Jimmy. RIP ole pal.
this is from the mid-america bluegrass fetival in cookeville, tn 2002. jimmy told the crowd it was the first time he performed without a hat in his entire career as he had forgotten his. Sonny and Bob make an appearance along with geno and the boys. film #2 of 36.
typical day at a festival for jimmy. talking to fans and friends, getting the band ready backstage, talking to old friends, and layin it on the crowd. This is #4 or so of the 36 films about jimmy martin.
Jesse wrote this instrumental with Vassar Clements in the late 90's I think. Check out the pinky nail fretting single strings on his mandolin. A true pioneer in music. Jesse also played on a Doors record.
