Details:
The first time Jimmy Bivens played on a stage he had a three-member
audience that couldn''t even see him. "My friends and I went to visit my
dad at a club. He told me I could get up on stage and play a song if I
wanted," recalls Bivens. It was daytime and the stage was closed off
behind a heavy, velvet curtain. "I climbed up there and kicked out a
version of an old Conway Twitty song with my buddies. I didn''t think
that anyone could hear us, but when we got done I heard a little bit of
applause. I peeked out from behind the curtain and saw my dad, the
clubowner, and Tammy Wynette."
...in 2002, Jimmy found himself sharing
the stage with country great Clay Walker''s bandmates Rex Wiseman...... After a brief conversation, Jimmy let Wiseman......hear some of the stuff he had been writing.
After listening, Wiseman said to Bivens, "You
gotta be one of the best writers I have ever heard." Jimmy laid down the plans to record an album with Wiseman.....
