A great write up from the folks at Fred's records about Jimmy.

Here is some interview footage put together by Neil Rosenberg and Memorial University. It also has some live performances of Jimmy Linegar as he is backed by Crooked Stovepipe. RIP Jimmy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJB32XLgYYc

It is with great sadness that I share this today. RIP Jimmy; you leave us a legacy that will last forever.

I feel that the writing I do is too silly to justify my name appearing on the same list as Neil Rosenberg, but I’m very grateful, nonetheless. Thank you @intlbluegrass @bgtoday
