Just so you know, Jimmy, my wife (who goes all googly-eyed over JT) complains less about the time I spend on this forum since I told her you were among us. Thanks!

And that lowest of the low rebuke Graeme was made by a lawyer!
Funny how many politicians are also Esquires. Must be their dialectic training.

Just this once, I'll refrain from quoting Politician lyrics.

(but I am sorely tempted)

hello guys, thank you all so much for contributing to this thread! Although there's not so much info for what I was actually waiting...come on! Give me some good issues to talk about!

But what a great surprise to find Jimmy himself over here! :-) Jimmy, would it be possible to send me your bio and infos about your latest activities to my email (and any info you have to share? that would make things a bit easier)? (kerstin@baramsky.de)

The only thing I found so far is your contribution on Derek Sherinian's latest Solo Album in 2006....which leads to the question which has been postes at the beginning of this thread: What enables you to play in so different genres?

Why do you have no homepage, no representation on the net at all? hmmm...

hope to hear more from you all... :-)

How about asking if there are any artists that he would like to work with. Someone Jimmy has either worked with before that he would enjoy working with again, or that dream job that would really stand out in an already amazing career.

Good Luck
Pete

good idea, Pete! Thanks for being connected on myspace, Craig!

@JimmyJ, if you come along this thread again. Please tell me, what was the main reason for you to pick up the bass and not playing piano like your mum..or something completely different. Did you start with acoustic bass?

Ha! Trust a Lawyer to twist my meaning ;-) Jimmy knows I would never compare him to a politician. Hell, I wouldn't even compare him to a g****rist ;-0

Graeme (the seldom serious one)

Now I'm curious...

No, really... what about Jimmy's ex-dog?

Graeme:

Bill, tgo

Sorry for this funny thread, kind of embarrassing. But thanks to everybody for the kind words. Let's move back to my old thread... Seeya over there.

I've contacted Kerstin directly now so she and I can carry on this conversation outside this public place.

I don't usually do interviews because:
A. Nobody asks (fine with me because I don't feel like I have anything to say, I'd rather just play).
2, I have nothing to SELL, no solo records, no gear obligations, no reason for self-promotion.
Three, I prefer being under the radar a bit. But I have been enjoying hanging out here because we have the common Alembic family link and I've been playing these basses for so long that I'm happy to shoot the breeze, talk gear, etc... Nice folks in here.

So why did I agree to this interview? I originally passed on the offer but the magazine she is writing for requested the interview in exchange for mentioning the upcoming Holdsworth tour. (Like they wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise?) So, for the team is a different thing! No problem!

The ex-dog:

Just another way of saying I have nothing better to talk about.

Nice dog Jimmy - what brand of shampoo did you use when washing the good old boy up???

Mike:

I'll paws to consider your description, but I really think you're barking up the wrong tree. Personally, I'd like to plug this puppy into an amp with a big woofer. Hot dog, that would sound good! What a tail to tell.

Bill, tgo (the groaning one!)
