The Jimmy Bell Story ... The Song “Saving Grace”
Born: James Allen Dzwonkowski on January 10, 1955 in Chicago Illinois.
I grew up in a two parent household until the age of 13 when my parents divorced,and enjoyed a fairly normal childhood aside from becoming rebellious once I reached my later teens.
In 1974 I joined Job Corp in Anaconda, Montana and spent a year in Big Sky Country.I fought forest fires with the crew up there, received my G.E.D. and became a certified welder.All this time still playing guitar when I wasn't studying.
Let the Craziness Begin: 1979I was introduced by a girlfriend to some musicians in Fort Collins, Colorado who had a band and needed a new lead singer. I auditioned and got the job! Can we say, all night parties, drugs,booze and living from place to place? Bars, gigs, college keg parties with hundreds of people attending to see us and other bands play. It didn't take long and I moved to Fort Collins.
Too much other stuff to list.
