Favorite Musician Who Sat In With The MW7:

I loved playing with BB King -also, playing with Scotty Moore of The Jordanaires (Elvis' guitar player) was very memorable.

If you were stranded forever on a desert island and were somehow able to listen to music, which five albums would you pick to have with you?

I could never narrow it down to only five, but B.B. King & Eric Clapton would be included among those I'd have to have!

Favorite guitar amp?

Jimmy prefers using DIAZ amplifiers and owns seven of them.

What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?

I love going to Italy when I have the time and try to go every year.

Favorite food:

Anything my mother makes!

Favorite "Do What Now" track?

"Little Geneva" of course!

Favorite Candy:

I love the Perugina "Baci's"

Jimmy, are you a morning person or a night person?

Definitely a night person.

What is your favorite guitar?

"The Penguin." I don't have one, but someday I'll probably own one. I love vintage guitars and I'm an avid collector, knowing many of the manufacturers and custom builders. But each guitar has its own unique sound so you can never really say one is better than another, and for me to pick just one as my favorite would be an impossibility!

Who is your favorite NY Yankee Legend?

Mickey Mantle

Jimmy, do you have a favorite comedian?

I know and like so many different comedians it would be too difficult to list all my favorites. But Whoopi Goldberg, George Carlin and of course UNCLE FLOYD would be among them!

What is Jimmy's favorite TV show?

One of my favorites when I was younger was BONANZA. In those days, there was only one television in the house so you usually ended up watching what your parents watched. I was a Monty Python fan too!

Jimmy, if you had the choice of performing with someone who you had never worked with before, who would you choose?

Paul McCartney!!
