Funny, Sad, Emotional & a beautiful love story

Jimmy can give up his singing career and now just write and enjoy life in his highlands home. I have listened to all of Jimmy’s books and never want them to end.
Having the author narrate the books is a massive plus.
Killing time is a roller coaster of emotions but definitely well worth the trip.

What a journey !

Jimmy’s stories of his ‘life long search to find his place in the world’ are captivating…

His drive for ‘the need to belong burns in his heart’…….. I hope he can take comfort knowing that he belongs in the hearts of Aussie rock and roll fans, our culture and the pages of history.

It’s a great book. 🙏

Loved every second of this book

I loved listening to this collection of stories from Jimmy, equally interesting and entertaining. I laughed, especially at the thought of Jane flying down the ski slope on the rescue boat! I cried, and felt all the emotion of saying goodbye to the schnauzer brothers.

Exceptional.

I loved it, I laughed and cried and felt the love. it was truly a mesmerising magic story telling by Jimmy. So emotive. I will miss not having him in my ear. As Molly Meldrum would say 'Do yourself a favour and buy it'.
Thank you and I hope there are plenty more from Jimmy.
