On the Road with Jimmy Lewis th
During His 45 Anniversary of Shaping Tour
By Ken Russell
If you ever have the chance to ride in a van with legendary shaper Jimmy Lewis for a couple weeks, I highly recommend it. You’ll get to know a unique character from a bygone era—and I don’t mean a bygone era like Driving Miss Daisy. Riding with Jimmy is more like taking a road trip with the Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra. He certainly has the confidence and swagger of Jagger, as well as Sinatra’s wit and charm. If you do get the chance to take this ride with Jimmy, you’ll learn some dirty jokes and get an education on the music of the ‘60s. You’ll hear some amazing stories. And you may observe a philosophy that makes you want to be more honest and direct about everything in life. I’ve never met someone more straightforward and truthful than Jimmy, even when he’s dealing with his competitors. He has nothing to hide and doesn’t care what you may think about his choices and motivations.
