(39,672 posts)We were very fortunate to see him several times in New Orleans. Awesome performer. My bosses wife worked at his restaurants gift shop and she would let us know when he was going to make a surprise appearance. Saw him at midnight during jazzfest. Think We have every one of his CDs. And Jimmy greets you as you hit the last step going into our basement. The 2011 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Poster. Makes m happy every time I see it.

(42,827 posts)when he made a surprise visit to a cute, small resort on Nevis. We flew there the next day from St. Kitts and were bummed to learn he had just played at our hotel tiki bar the night before. Drats! But it was a great visit anyway, including a day trip to enjoy Anguilla's heavenly beaches. Jimmy was such a great entertainer and gift to all! Thanks for replying.
