Jim Rumbaugh first started coming around the weekly Flood sessions about a decade ago, and he quickly became such a dear friend.
We knew him first as an excellent harmonica player and we watched as he nurtured and grew the beloved Huntington Harmonica Club, which nowadays has a public jam session every week. It was only later that we learned Jim also is a first-rate bass player, that in fact he has been playing bass longer than his harps.Well, it was only natural when we found out that Flood bassist Randy Hamilton can’t make an upcoming gig that we asked Jim to sit in with us and he has graciously agreed. Last night he brought his big, beautiful Rickenbacker to a session to start working on some tunes for the show and we just had a ball.
Mark you calendar! Jim Rumbaugh will be using that thing with us down on the riverfront Saturday, April 27, as The Flood does its part at the the fifth annual Jewel City Jamboree. Click to hear the tune.
