I also knew him through the Kerrville Folk Festival. A gentle soul he was, and a good songwriter, picker and singer. Tonight for some reason his named came to mind and I googled him only to find he had died 3 years ago. Although we were not close, he was considered a friend.
Rest well my friend and speak on my behalf on the other side.

I have been singing it ever since. He was so kind in 2003 I wrote him and ask where i could purchase a new copy. He replied and said he thought he might be able to find one in his sisters garage. He did and sent it to me. He was the most generous person I’ve ever met. God bless James. His music lives on.
