The next portion of my Jessi Bio (dealing primarily with Mirriam Johnson's life and work in the "Duane Eddy Years" and her first meeting with Ol' Waylon) will arrive as soon as I get my Christmas shopping done, which of course will be mere moments away. NOT. In any event, Jessi the Lady has been busy this December, still working on her own projects and contributing to great causes. Notably, she has been in Nashville with Shooter and a number of other artists, gearing-up for the eventual release of the second volume in the official Jessi-approved Waylon tribute album, and also helping old friend Hank Williams Jr. in a benefit to raise money for the Country Music Hall of Fame. One of Nashville's most beloved columnists, Hazel Smith, dishes wonderfully about a recent visit with Jessi, and fans can be privy to the details by following this link:

More to come, friends. As mentioned, 2012 is going to be a busy year for Jessi, Shooter, their fans, and Waylon's legions of fans. Stay tuned and enjoy safe and blessedly happy holidays!
