Jim's a banjo frailer out of Alabama -- wrote "Grandma's Feather Bed". I know he has at least one recording, but I can't put my hands on it. Jim will also be the guest of honor at the Florida Old Time Music Championships this April... Thanks! Paul |

He has a CD with the New Kingston Trio of masters made between 1969 and 1972 and published by AER Music Group, 8472 Brooksville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46239. He also has a cassette or two. His music is certainly worth the search. His banjo playing is truly amazing. He is also quite a storyteller and songwriter. I'll see what I can turn up. |
