OT: Jimmy Herring Diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer

[hatfieldms]

Prayers to Jimmy and hoping for a speedy recovery.
Cancer sucks

I saw the social media posts and am also wishing him a speedy recovery.

I halfway considered going to Asheville for that three-day run that’s now canceled but had decided against it.

Damn.
He’s a virtuoso on the electric.
So technically smooth its crazy
called him Machine Gun Herring when he took over for Panic not a lingering lead but a hammer in your face lead.
Prayers up

Was that McConell guy Panic's only Mississippi connection? I know my Sister & BIL knew / knows somebody which is why they always are backstage when they go see them play. They introduced me to their music and was skeptical since she's 11 yrs my junior but being a Dead & Allman Bros fan was instantly impressed.

Absolutely hate to hear that. I've been checked out from the scene getting ready for this move. Hopefully they caught it early and he'll make a full recovery.

Damn. I saw him at Mulligans back in 94 w ARU. Mind was blown. One of my favorites ever.

I've never heard of this form of cancer. As a child My tonsils were taken out but I guess everybody doesn't get them removed.

Seems like an easy thing to get removed, but I’m sure it’s a scary situation.

I think Jojo still lives outside of Oxford.

I never had mine removed, and I'm almost 60. Now I've got something new to worry about.
