Jim was among the first musicians I met when I started covering the area music scene in the 1980s, and I got to see him with a number of groups over the years - including Psycho, Rainbow City (with Louie Brumbaugh), Sidewinder, Different Mothers, Not Them Guys and more. Jim was a skilled bass player and guitarist (also did some singing), and he was fun to chat with off stage as well.
Below is a picture of Jim with the late Steve Shiffler (Not Them Guys acoustic) at Peter C's in Altoona in June, 2003.
