Zambi,
That show with Jimmy and Fiji, was that the one were JoJo Herman came out later? Saw that one and if I remember correctly a few weeks later was when Warren sat in with the Col. I was so close to Warren at that show that I could played a chord on his guitar when it was in his hands. Pretty cool, but way too packed and hot as hell in there.
I went to the Zambiland Orchestra a few years ago ('99?). Jimmy and Derek were there but they never really got it going because Rickey Keller was conducting (with a plunger) and had them just playing a bunch of choppy, starting and stopping notes. I was kind of disappointed cause I wanted to hear them let it go a little bit. Sam Bush came out later and played, as he called it, "some Billy Bob Marley tunes." Which was bluegrass twinged versions of Bob Marley songs. I thought he was outstanding, definitely the highlight of the evening for me.
