About Me

a little bit about me(believe it or not)...without all the schtick(i think i spelled that right?).
i moved here in '94(i actually grew up in Chicago).
i'm really a bass player in singer/songwriter clothing(did you know there are more chords in the back of the mel bay book? me neither.).
i don't take compliments well (so if you tell me a song is really good and i make a joke. trust me, you just made my week).
i think the world of the singer/songwriters i've met in nashville(it's really an amazing place).
i love that nashville has a venue for everybody's music(so before you make it your eccentric, after you're colorful).
nashville is really about the song(not how well you sing or play it).
after my first hold i yelled out the window for 5 minutes(the neighbors weren't amused). that's as far as it went(the hold that is. the neighbors moved away. i think it was the noise.).
i love the american mood and 12 string army(one day, 12 string army is gonna open for me).
i can't give up my old guitars,so they're literally laying around the house(i really don't think that's a BAD thing).
and that's me in a nutshell(maybe with time and therapy you can forgive me).
(oops almost forgot), i'm jim.
p.s. thanks for coming by(i had a really good time)

The Baptism of Superman

I was thinking the other day that there are some things you're just not prepared for.  Things that really only happen once in our lives(or twice if you're just nuts).  Mom, Dad, I've met someone, or, ...

It's Not Me, It's You, Really!

In 1973 I was seven years old.  And in love.  Her name was Mrs. Holt.  She was my second grade teacher.  Long brown hair, soft eyes, and a smile that went on for days(OMG, I'm getting dizzy).  It was ...

I Don't Know!?!?!?

During my 25 years working as either a musician or as an HVAC tech I was never able to answer one question.  Why am I not a manager?  It just puzzled me.  I was reasonably knowledgeable, hard working,...

Wow(that felt good)!!!

I'm getting pretty desperate(panicked, freaked out, either will do).  Still nothing on the job front.  The customer service job that I thought I had fell through.  I'm over forty and don't have enough...

It finally happened(fall in love?).  No.  I got a job(ahh, so you're not a loser anymore)!!!  Actually, I got a part time job(ahh, so you're a part time loser).  Which I'm excited as all hell about.  ...

dumb dog, dumber dracula

As I was taking off my torn clothes I was thinking how dumb men can really be.  I'm usually not too quick to point this out(it really doesn't help the ego).  But in this case, I'll make the exception....
