I know Jimmy from the early 60's when I was recording Earl

Hooker...Jimmy came to the studio with a Miss Skinner and group to do a

session for Earl when Earl was ill at a Chicago hospital.. I saw Jimmy

at the Crystal Bar in Madison, Wisconsin about 4 years ago, and we had a

great time reminiscing about the old days.  Some friends of mine would

like to go to Chicago to hear Jimmy with me, if he is still doing any

clubs.  I would greatly appreciate finding out if he's playing in

Chicago, or area, and when.  And I would greatly appreciate a few

minutes to shake his hand again and tell him how proud we are to have

worked with him. Earl became a close friend during his tough

times....and meeting Jimmy Dawkins because of Earl made the whole scene

a high light of my recording career. I am planning to re-release (on CD)

Earl's album: "The Genius of Earl Hooker"...and I have the "Miss

Skinner" recordings with Jimmy yet in the can if he ever wants to do

anything with them.



Hoping to hear back from you soon.
