Hi, long time since I have visited Nomads...
Anyway, I am looking for the 2 part interview of Jimmy Smith by Camote, maybe 14 years ago. I thought it might be in Nomad archive, but haven't had
luck with my search. Anyone out there remember this? David Kier, Doug? Much appreciated!
Having a slow download, I will try later, thanks David!

Here is the Part 2 direct link... but yes, you probably need better than dial-up to watch videos: https://youtu.be/O3shZbcOO8M
Let me know any other way I can help... Your dad was super... and loved to talk about books and Baja history with me. He loved showing me the Real de
Santa Ana... I got the idea it had become his favorite place to connect with the past. I returned in 2012... almost identical.
Thanks David. I will try again when my access is a little faster.
I am in Asuncion with a friend and we were talking about Bahia Los Angeles, and my Dad's phenomenal ability to spin a tale, and Camote's video is an
excellent capture of a Don Jimmy story. Classical, just how I remember him.
Got to share with my friend, wonderful to revisit the Ol Man, what a classic ol Baja he projects. Ok. Pues, thanks again David for leading me back
thru the archives. Saludos.

Eli, good to see you on the interwebs. I only spent an hour with Don Jimmy talking story (mostly listening :-) but that was enough to help bring his
stories, I had enjoyed so much in print, to life. I have given many copies of his book to friends and family and still have my signed copy in the
family library. Hope all is well with you and that some day again we cross paths.
