Well, what you can do to be sure I am the author is simply go to www.hoyhoy.com and you can see my name as the owner of the website. Morgan Wright. It's probably not possible for you to be certain for yourself, unless you get one of Jimmy's CD's and you will see, they used this very essay on two of his recent CD's and cited me as the author. If worse comes to worst, you can ask Jimmy himself, we were back and forth for a while to make sure I got all the informaton correct in the bio. I wrote this biography mostly around 1993 and have updated it often since. Jimmy is a friend of mine.
