…Balladeers Notes

Above is the first recording by either Robin or Jimmie that I have been able to verify (meaning actually in my collection — see discograhpy) — pre-dating Robin's first recording by some four months. Jimmie primarily provides instrumental backing, as well as harmony (backing) vocals on several tracks — heard most prominently on Derby Ram.

Here is a photograph of Jimmie with Steve Benbow on his website.
