I took this video a while ago and I saw Jess last Thursday at the same place. When I see him next I'll see if he has an email address I can forward.

Jes is one of my oldest and dearest steel guitar buddies. He was around with my Dad when I was just a kid. When I first started playing he was always honest with me. When he finally said I sounded good, I believed him cause he never lied. Sure was sorry the HOF Fund raiser wasn't working for him and he stopped doing it. He's a wonderful man and terrific friend.
