blackhawkpat Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 While there is no question Jim has always been the best and most underrated drummer in rock/pop music, I've had the chance to meet him twice, once in Cleveland at the initial reunion show and then in Chicago, first by chance and then at the after party. The guy truly appreciates his fans and is a pleasure to meet. Anyone in the area that has an opportunity to attend this, you MUST go! Fantastic guy, can't say enough about him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAM Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 My wife and I and another couple are heading to Mentor next Friday evening to catch Jim's new band at one of the local watering holes. Really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE COMMENTS PAT, And certainly a mutual appreciation as fans never took for granted what he brought to the raspberries with his unique talents I always find such great heart-warming human spirit in the stars who dont look down on the average folks.

WC1215 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 How did Jim's new band sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAM Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Jim had posted on Facebook that the gig was canceled due to the really crappy weather. Just as well. I-90 is NOT the place to be driving during a whiteout. We're planning on making the April 15th gig as long as the weather cooperates.
