Official web page. Jim is one of several distant cousins I have met via the internet. His and my grandfathers were brothers. He e-mailed me after seeing a query I posted on a genealogy web page. We immediately hit it off, and have been e-mailing ever since. He called me shortly after we first contacted each other via e-mail, and though he admitted he had worried that we would have nothing to talk about, we both chattered away as though we had know each other all our lives. He is very funny, and I love is wry humor. He is a musician, and after listening to some samples, I fell in love with Is You. Thus I added Jim's CDs to my wish list. I also really hope I get to see him perform someday, when I go and visit. I have grand plans about travelling all over the midwest (primarily Wisconsin) and meeting long lost cousins.

On 30 June 1999 he performed on NewsNight Minnesota, which airs on KTCA (PBS) in St. Paul, Minnesota [link requires the RealPlayer].
