I had just watched a live show with Kim and Savoy Brown. during the breaks i came up to the stage in this Chicago suburb club and asked Kim about his amps and guitars and stuff and mentioned i'm in a small local band. Kim was very humble and supportive and we talked about music. At closing time, i got a T-shirt and got Kim to sign the back. I said too bad its closing time i really liked the music. So to my surprise Kim says "it ain't closin time for me how about we go have a pint"?? I was amazed. So we head back to the bar and had a few beers and talked blues and guitars and music for some time. I am truly blessed to have had that experience with a LEGEND like Kim. I hope you read this Kim... it was a evening i will always remember! THANKS KIM!!

I, too met him; in a bar in Jacksonville, NC. When I walked into the back room, he was alone, warming up with his Flying V and a Fender "Champ Amp"! I couldn't believe it; I had that same amp! I still have the picture we took together. Your post is typical of Kim...a very likable, approachable, non-status guy. Glad you had that experience, and hope you still have the T-shirt! (:

Mine was the very first album, "Shake Down," which my military dad brought me from the UK around the time it came out. I continue to love everything SB did, through the Lonesome Dave years. Simmonds had one of the best tones & attacks in any form of rock, IMO. Brilliant player.

Saw him a few times with this line up & sadly never got to see him with the early days of Savoy Brown. A funny & one incredible talented musician . I'm sure his original Flying V is at home safe & sound & it matters not what guitar he plays on it always comes out pure Kim Simmons & that great Savoy Brown feel. Rock on Kim you made our musical generation all the better ..
