So, it’s winter. Two more months of gloom and doom and Mother Nature threatening a couple feet of snow at a moment’s notice. Days are short, nights are long and there is only one thing we can do about it.
Let’s party. Let’s track down Jimmy O at one of his many venues, drink a glass of wine or two and enjoy this amazing entertainer and his music for the ages. Endangered music, he calls it. Classic tunes from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
An Ada, Oklahoma native, Jimmy O has been performing in Virginia and across the nation now for 40 years. That’s hard to believe, but Nancy and I have been fans of his since we first heard him strum his guitar at Miller’s on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville on April 4, 1983. I remember that date because that was the night Jimmy Valvano’s N.C. State Wolfpack upset the Houston Cougars and won the NCAA Basketball Championship.
In addition to performing, Jimmy is now doing some writing, producing, and is directing independent films through Alpha Vision Films. He is also Founder of The Classic Cinema Club.
Below is his schedule for February and March. Make it a point to see him play and perform and chase the winter blues away.
