I like Jimmy. I wish him a full recovery.
This from the Idiots site and check out the interview. 10k Wow!
Muffin Man Roddie Gilliard: "Jimmy Carl has been having a series of tests at the hospital in recent weeks. As you are aware, he was diagnosed with leukemia some years back, and has had several courses of chemotherapy over the last three years, along with monthly tests. A few weeks back they found some shadows around his lung. He is due to have an operation next week. The doctors advised him not to travel, so the MufFinZ played Cropredy without him yesterday [Saturday 10 August]. While the band were on stage they phoned Jimmy and had the crowd (20,000) wish him well - he was well chuffed. In the week leading up to the festival, which is hosted by Fairport Convention, several members of the Fairports rang Jimmy and wished him well, so during the festival, the news had spread. It was a joy to hear so many people wishing him well."
I have just finished an interview with Jimmy in which he talks about his health problems, among many other things – read it at
