It's been a few years since I looked at this video. So I give you much Thanks Camote, first for making it, second for bringing it back to light after
so long. You know, I have been just talking to him in my head for so many years now, today was an excellent day to go back and see the Ol Man in the
flesh. What a wild and woolly character he was. God Love Him.

Matt & MIke
When Jimmy was in the VA hospital I got him to sign a bunch of copy's of his book...We had a great laugh when I told him they would be worth more
after he passed...
If anyone wants one of his books signed, more expensive, or unsigned about $10.00...either way everything I collect on his books goes to his widow in
Las Barriles.
I will be posting other stuff about the Don because I want his personna remembered as a guy who touched so many people both Mexican and Gringo in
Baja. A legend for sure. When he writ about Baja he slung a ton of ink and painted with a huge brush

El Camote was the inerviewer, so perhaps there is a chance for a dub-over? If you turn up the volume when Camote is asking the questions, you can hear
him.

You got it, Bernie
Found this handsome lad among the rest.
He's probably heard this before but years ago I was on a crew that interviewed Fess Parker and, I gotta say, Bernie's got a little Fess thing going
on.

Jimmy, part 2
Received a nice note from Jimmy's youngest which motivated posting part 2 of the interview.
Geez, wasn't anybody else curious how he survived being inverted in a rotor?

Sure Camote, I was, just figured since David mentioned when ever you wanted to post the 2nd. it would have an audience, you would get around to it
when you could. And now that you have, I thank You mucho!

They are all classics and El Camote has made historical recordings which are valuable to all Baja fans... The world is lucky that El Camote has made
and shared these interviews from 2003!
