The Gig That Got Away – My Almost-Jam with Johnny Gimble and the Serendipity of Meeting His Daughter Two Decades Later

The Gig That Got Away – My Almost-Jam with Johnny Gimble and the Serendipity of Meeting His Daughter Two Decades Later See our shows here>> [http://shows.stringsattached.org] Back around 1994 I called up Johnny Gimble in an effort to collaborate with him on a "jazz" concert I was putting together where he would be a guest. Mr. Gimble is one of my Texas Swing heroes who played with Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys [https://www.facebook.com/Bob-Wills-His-Texas-Playboys-116103551733506/?__cft__[0]=AZUSzy0-Dyql36HkPLjLJ5Y1_T88NeN9_RWTZg80-zMKpaTbcBY5t_9Wzcf6HnGIzawR4ev-1O6lEy5mXRuZaR1tQbXEqzUVxSG1-cM68FWsIky84VmS2BWOe_69RzgHdPFRWcJW8SF-cNEsQKz6UppX3w5My87is4U0-Hrqq6jxLIuIR7pf6oVY-d0bl3BiBD0&__tn__=kK-R] many years ago. So, Strings Attached had not yet even been an idea in my mind and I was less skilled at navigating collaboration conversations then I am now. He asked if I played the same thing every time, and my mind immediately thought, "He means do we play arrangements".. So I said yes. Not knowing that what he really was asking was: do we improvise. He turned down my invitation probably because he though we were a bunch of classical reading stiffs that couldn't just improvise and go with the flow. Which couldn't be farther from the truth at that time. Boy that was a hard miss. Well, last Saturday, I got the next best thing to having a chance to play with Johnny. His daughter attended our recent Strings on Grass Abbey Road Re-Imagined show and shared that she was quite moved by my playing. I was thrilled and honored since I never got to play or meet in person with this Texas hero of mine. Here's a great video of the swing master playing those double-stops with Mark..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ndKvOzh7Sg [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ndKvOzh7Sg&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExVjg5T3J1dVMyTjJrZ2FEbgEeEpL0EPwf80VaapceddaDqhhbOX__2hA2WrNiGS4yQiBZz5a1ka49GvcWZ-Q_aem_z3GRdX0UAbgq9XW4fdz_Gw]
