Let's all wish Jimmy the best as he copes with recovery from his illness.

Hammond B3 with growl, a bazillion string bass. So funky yet laid back.

The hometown boy from Fayette-nam, NC. He plays pretty well, you know. Might actually make a career out of it.

First time I ever saw him play was with Col. Bruce Hampton and Aquarium Rescue Unit at The Attic in Greenville, which was my band's home base. Jimmy on the right, playing a Strat. Oteil Burbridge on the left, playing lines that would have made Jaco smile. Bruce in the middle, playing the "meh-DOO-lah OB-lon-GAH-tah".

IYKYK.

First heard Col. Bruce in graduate school and thought enough of it that I wrote down the band name in a notebook (ARU). Herring is a monster player and seems like such a nice guy. Oteil enhances every single group he plays with.

Have decades on the road resulted in Jimmy becoming hard of herring? Sounds like a fish story.

I saw Jimmy in Raleigh in 2010. My old band Candy Pig played the Attic ~1993.

I thought it was his wife that got the hard of Herring.
