Area Musician Jim High Passes...

Post by Jim Price »

The area music scene lost a longtime member recently with the passing of area musician Jim High on December 12; he was 65.

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.

I was at a guitar party out around Glendale last night and sat beside Louie Brumbaugh. Amazing to see him. Same old Louie. Sang a song about an Arabian Prostitute from the 1920's or something. He's doing well.[/img]
