He learned so much from his travels and relationships and time on the road, and he loved to share the keys to his success: work hard, have self-discipline, be lucky, have lots of fun. Jimmy was not a rule follower. He was a rascal, often reminding us kids that in life you should always beg forgiveness not permission. Jimmy was a good and decent man with a magical soul that was in tune with the spirit of the great heart, one love, and one human family. It was never about the money – though he’d remind you that owning your own jet is super cool and handy. His most valued currencies were friendship and conversation, fellowship, performing, adventure, and storytelling. How fortunate we are that he found his calling and never gave up the gig in search of a day job.
