Nice Illustration of Jimmy

@ Woody Tribute

March, 1999

Award-winning folk artist Kathy Jakobsen has created a very adult children's book, illustrating the words to Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." Included toward the end is her whimsical interpretation of the concert finale from the 1996 Woody tribute at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with everyone involved, from Seeger to Springsteen, taking the stage.

And there's Jimmy, stage left (though during his solo he was standing right next to, and congratulated for his contribution by, the Boss) all with his jeans neatly tucked into his boots.

To see a much larger version of Ms. Jakobsen's very cool illustration, just click here. In this version, you can see it in detail, though to accomplish that the file had to be fairly large, and it will take a moment to load.

The book is available from amazon.com and is pretty nifty throughout. Publisher is Little-Brown.

P. S. - For more details on this concert, including Jimmy's moment with Sprinsteen, see below in this section.
