One of the all time best ventriloquists and nice guy is Jimmy Nelson. He has done just about as much as anyone for the world of ventriloquism and now he has a web site for all of you to go and see.
I am a big fan of Jimmy’s and I loved looking at every aspect of his site and I am sure you will also.
Enjoy!!

I worked with Jimmy Nelson on the WHAS Crusade for Children telethon in 1956, and another one when he came back and worked it a couple or so years later. Very fine person. He allowed me into his dressing room in that last appearance. There was his brand new cat figure made by Frank Marshall, still had the smell of fresh paint, and next to the cat in another chair the famous dog, the brown one now on display at VentHaven. On a wall shelf at the top was the handsome Marshall boy figure, folded forward, head up, and on top of the coat slit was a small Bible. His new website is very nice, and better late than never. I am waiting for Ray Guyll, whose work he liked, to put up one too.
