Here's a video of Jojo Hermann from
Widespread Panic and Luther and Cody playing on the band "Missing Cats" tour. Cody says that Jojo is
frank about Jim teaching him to play keyboards when Jim was producing Jojo's original group, Beanland, at Sounds Unreal Studio in Memphis. It is refreshing to hear how much Jojo sounds like Jim playing piano. His joy in pounding out those rock 'n' roll eighth notes is the same as Jim's. This video is reminiscent of the last verse of the song Luther wrote for his dad called "Ain't no Grave" on North Mississippi Allstar's record, "Keys to the Kingdom:'
"If I had my way, he's be here today, sit down at the piano and play...."
Jim wrote in his Last Words, " As long as the music lingers, I'll be there."
Listen and enjoy as Jim's legacy lives on....
