Okay, I just listened to your Soundclick songs, Big Jim, and damn you, you've got a big damn voice.

To hear "The Letter" like that, with someone who can nail that nice, crisp piano riff behind your words, really warmed my soul. That was good. I was born in 1961, last of a family of five babyboomers, and my sister at one point began to believe she WAS Joe Cocker. (Before that she was Ringo, and before that she was the blonde guy in man from UNCLE.) That song really informed my musical thinking, and we also had the single by The Boxtops that I used to like even better. I can nail that one...I'm a skinny bastard.

Cheers, Big Jim! Now I see what you're talking about.
