Jimmy can play the piano better than his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, is what I was told by a friend in Ferriday.



Jerry Lee and Mickey both say Jimmy was the best musician in the family.

If you ever had any dealings with Swaggarts wife, you'd understand why he was messing with hookers.

My father was never overtly religious, and would not listen to Jimmy's preaching. But he always loved how Jimmy played the piano.

From the Will Friedle/Eric Matthews haircut on the drummer, I'm going to carbon date that at 1996.

(They've been running the same videos of Swaggart on his TV network for over a decade, ever since his health took a turn.)

If the brothers and sisters were all twins, Jimmy and Mickey would share the same DNA. (I watch a lot of Law and Order SVU).

side note....anyone watching "Sun Records" on CMT? Both Swaggart and Jerry Lee are on it in their young days....and on the show, Swaggart is every bit as good as Jerry Lee on the piano.

I have no way of knowing if this is true but I have been told by someone who has known the Swaggart family that the three used to get together occasionally at Swaggart's house here in Baton Rouge and jam. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall if true.

That would have to be one heck of a jam session!
Would love to have been there for that.
Never listened to the preaching, always loved the music style.
