Prior to seeing him with Jeff Beck a couple of times, had no idea who he was. Then learned he was the singer for Wet Willie, and the only tune I knew from them was this hit from '74:
heard his song 'Rendezvous with the Blues' recently, and I was reminded. I think the radio host on Sirius knew Jimmy Hall, said Hall is a regular performer in small clubs in Nashville.
Jimmy is awesome, he’s been playing harp and sax in Hank jr’s band for a few years now. I was talking to him after a show once and I said “I remember you going all the way back to the 70’s.” Thinking he’d caught a bullshitter he said he’d only been with Hank off and on since the 80s. I said “Well,I liked that old Wet Willie band a lot”-he laughed and signed a piece of paper that was sitting on the table.”keep on smilin,Jimmy Hall”and gave it to me. After I left I realized I completely forgot to ask him about Jeff Beck.
