I first met Jim, in 1971, when he contacted me about putting a band together. We did, and later he moved to Michigan to drive a truck hauling vehicles. Many years later, after he moved back, to Flora, he again approached me to join his Friday night Hub band. We had many good times together making music, for the Seniors, and reminiscing about our past musical days. Jim taught me a lot of things about being a professional on a bandstand and life in general. Jim was a true friend, fellow musician and all around good guy. We put in lots of miles traveling from bandstand to bandstand. May he rest in peace and when my times comes I know he will save me a seat on that Celestial bandstand. Good night my brother rest well...
