About Jimmy L Davis

I surf, write poetry, a wood worker, compose music, love camping, fishing,I love Jesus....... My Music Biography


My interest started when my brother and I wrote a song, called a thousand stars in the sky
and someone got access to it because he recorded it on Santa Monica Pier at a record booth
Actually It was when my father used to sing us four boys to sleep, He had beautiful tanner voice.
Then I was married for six years and it ended with my wife's suicide and propelled me into my music career.
I got a job at a place called (The Great American Food & Beverage Co. ). Where I worked as a singing waiter, This place was magical, I loved the place. But I left the Great American in 1979 and went in search of myself, seems I couldn't separate the myself and the entertainer. But I found that they were the same.
Then I went to Marysville, Cal. And started to learn about Gold mining and singing for campers at a place called Fiddle Creek campground and played at a bar in Downieville called, The Saint Charles Place. This lasted for about five years and I got married to my second wife who became pregnant against what the doctors had told her because God willed it, I prayed for an offspring and had a little girl after a 18 months, we got a divorce and I be came a mom and a dad.
I went to work as a carpenter and hurt my back and moved to Reno, Nevada. To go to school as a slot tech mechanic. While I was there I got a job as a DJ and skate guard and that lasted for six months.
Then I moved back to southern Cal. In Riverside and started surfing again I would sing and play for my friends at County-line/Neptune's Net and party's in the Malibu hills.
In September 1993 I got cancer and was treated and the treatment was successful, and was back surfing in six months, on weekends. I met Kathy and we became one at a ceremony conducted by my best friend Jack Shepard and witnessed by Randy Burg. For the first eight years Kathy was addicted to many things and I prayed for her she was rehabilitated. And we both read the Bible cover to cover four years ago . Then we started going to Harvest at the 7th day service with pastor Steve Wilburn then left to his own church in West Los Angeles .
And then we were searching for a new church. That's when my sister Barb Davis recommended the Vision Plus Church to us, where my nice was playing music one Sunday.
I played one of my original songs and was introduced to Dan Shimanek and became part of the worship team, and Kathy and I feed the homeless with Big Jim and Wayne and I sing them tunes of pop, folk, rock, and gospel.
