DyvaNaye;
Hope your feeling stronger today.
I'd love to hear your mother singing "What Sin?":), its my fave. of Jimmy's King 45's.
So your Mom & Sister are big Jimmy fans, thats super!! I guess you've heard alot of Jimmy's records over the years. Did they read the book and see the documentries? Have they seen him perform LIVE in N.Y.? We'll be at "The Iridium" on Broadway August 31 - Sept. 5th.
Take good care of yourself DN.

Yes they are HUMONGOUS Jimmy fans...and they have seen him only on tv. We all have see the documentary that came on PBS...really good, and emotional. I look forward to the live performance...are the tickets on sale yet? ..and then I can get to meet you! That would be great!

God Bless and thank you again for the well wishing. I am still humbled by the sentiments that people send me :-)

Hey DyvaNaye;
So glad your doing so much better! That is the most important thing Dyva.

Re: Iridium...It would be great to meet you and take photos of your Mom with Jimmy :) As far as The Iridium goes check out their web-site, I do know that they are already posting the dates with a photo and bio of Jimmy for Aug. 31 -Sept.5. They have a nice site. We'll talk more by email when we get closer to the date too (smile).

Take it easy,
S.S.
