Big Jim, the festival begins tomorrow. Today I was at the hall to play for a sound workshop. When our group was finished, the next group came up. After their first number, as one of the players left the stage, the leader called out, "That was "Judy Domeny Bowen!" I immediately went over to meet her and tell her how I came to know of her.

She turned blue in the face, could hardly breathe and nearly fell over on the floor as though she'd seen the devil himself, at the mere mention of the name Big Jim from Jackson.












Well, that's what she TOLD me to say. Truth is, she sang your praises!! Thanks to you, Jim, I'll be seeing her not only on stage on Tuesday, but at another engagement on Wednesday!! So glad you mentioned her name here.
