Three years ago Jimmy was driving a truck to support his family and idly plunking away at his uke in the evenings ("I dream-I go 'bonk, bonk, bonk'-I just fool around"), when he became inspired by the high wit of a local rock 'n' roll disc jockey named Red Blanchard and enrolled in a 96-lesson musical correspondence course ("I learned to read music in the first ten and quit").
