Wow another Fantastic day of music stories and laughter in the garden this year I am sure that Jim was watching over the day and if he had been there in person he would have been stunned and feel humbled that all his old friends have got together again to make his home ring with the sounds of the music that he loved, along with the tales and reminiscence's of his exploits I know he would still have been laughing about them all for weeks to come.

It was one of those magical days that I am sure not only the family but all those who took part in it will remember for ever, just as Jim remembered that rainy day in 1968 at the folk festival in Fox Hollow where he heard the hammered dulcimer for the first time and "instead of showers of raindrops the air was filled with showers of notes every where ". I am sure that EVERY PERSON that came and shared their own little bit of Jim left just a little more enriched by the experience.

Karen and the whole family Thank you SO very much for you're adding to the magic and making it one of those days which no matter how hard you try you just can't write a description on paper. It meant such a lot to us all thank you so much. Karen, John, and all the family
