RIP Jimmy Bishop
#1
I just read where there’s a memorial for him at Henfings.

I first met him at Ohare in the wake of that final Grateful Dead 50 show.

Jimmy was that guitarist. We crossed paths in the dead scene a few times over the years. I told him how much that little jam he did at the airport meant to me. We didn’t really know each other that well. I doubt we’d recognize each other if we crossed paths in the street.  I lost track of him after the pandemic. Not sure that I’ll make that Henflings memorial, but I will be thinking of him.
