Singin Harmonica And Talkin
Born Nineteen Sixty Four the year of the EH Holden Paddock Bashin
Ute
Like the E.H. Paddock Basher Jimmy aint fancy. He might blow a
bit of smoke but after all those years on the road he's still goin.
A long tall story teller Jimmy was born with the gift of the gab
and he's happy to share his gift with anybody who'll listen. According
to his mother he was born talking.
Denied his part as Huck Finn in his 6th class musical because
the music teacher said he couldn't sing Jimmy has spent the rest
of his life living out the part and defying his critics. Vindication
of his song writing abilities came in the noughties when his song
"Kate Kelly" received airplay on all three national Australian radio
networks - JJJ, Classic FM and Radio National having been recorded
by The Whitlams, The Australian Chamber Orchestra and The Bushwackers
. That music teacher must still be rolling in his grave.
