Jim was on the road performing as early as 7th & 8th grade, at which time, the band members parents would take turns transporting the ambitious musical youth. That was followed by several years in the San Diego area pursuing the Southern California life…….(including surfing and snorkeling), and playing “A LOT!” He has now settled in Wyoming for many years……quite contently.
