Don't think this has been posted yet, a short letter from Yimmy that isn't on this or his website...

Hello friends. Just like most everyone else under this crazy dome, I have been a fan of the Beatles since early childhood... But it wasn't 'till sometime in '99 that an old pal turned me on to "All Things Must Pass" and I quickly became even more enamored with the quiet beauty and majesty of all things George Harrison. He always seemed to be a beacon of good light unto the world, accomplishing the rare task of using his massive fortune and fame to promote peace - both within and around the World. I will always look up to and see him as a prime example of the healing power of music and how, in tune with it, all is possible.

The following are a selection of George's songs I recorded back in 2001, a few days after he passed that were moving me so very much at the time... I recorded them live at above the Cadillac in Shelbyville, KY... On my cousin John's "ol faithful" Fostex 8 track reel2reel, then overdubbed a banjitar or b. vox here or there. I find comfort knowing that all things must pass, but that as all things do pass their spirits are still out there moving us somewhere... doing what they do, just as real as they ever were in this physical world... I hear them singing and I feel them in my blood.

Thanks George for helping me to understand things just a lil bit better...

Interesting article on Billboard:

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/-1003987895.story

In pertinent part:

James also revealed that he's in the beginning stages of working on a full length solo record, but it's still coming to fruition. "It's not planned or mapped out; I'm just kind of setting up a home studio and starting to get into that again. Sit around by myself and play stuff. I think that's in the works but it's hard to say when."
if it falls apart or makes us millionaires

Yep, that arrived via Facebook Headdy.  One of the few good things remaining about Fbook, I get good updates on MMJ and DBT.

well that somewhat clarifies how soon the full length solo album will come out then. id doubt before mid 2010.

Go to the "bands" section....Johnny Quaid has a new band called the Ravenna Colt.  This is exciting.

Hmm.......some of aMD's posts are now gone from this thread.

The one's about possibly posting an mp3 of If Not For You.

Strange.

Not really strange so much as just the answer probably.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

So who's gonna buy the vinyl tommorow?  I read somewhere that it comes with a free t-shirt.  I think it will be a animal sanctuary t-shirt.  

I wonder if the cover of the vinyl will be the picture of the hot air balloon or whatever that is from the website.  Who would have guessed Jim would have a Worlds Fair picture on his website!  ;D  (Actually I have no idea what that picture it, but I'm guessing Worlds Fair.)

I think it's from a balloon race over Louisville-part of the Derby Festival.

I'm kinda hoping the cover is a white background with that b&w picture of him playing the guitar that's above the announcement at the beginning of this website.

I may grab it tomorrow.  Might wait til some of yous gets here and grab it then.   :-/

Im pretty sure its just going to be a white cover that says "yim yames   tribute to"

if there were to be a picture on it, id probably want it to be the b&w one you first see when going to yy.com where it looks like he's sitting on a train or something looking out the window.
