Here's to a great bass player and role model for all aspiring musicians when we were growing up in Wapella. Jim was an all around good guy.
Jim was my neighbor when we were growing up in Wapella; always was a nice kid...usually!
Rest in peace, Jim..........
I remember playing little league baseball with Jim, he pitched on our team "Cubs" in 1955. Was a terrific pitcher, but after that he lost interest in baseball, took up electronics. As I remember, he did his share of mischef, but all around good guy. Lost track of him after high school. Salute sir James.
