This guy is one of the best players in the country. I use to watch him at the international steel convention in St. Louis. HE always amazed me with his style and his CD is absolutely one of the best around.

I am really glad I joined this site now with players like Jim on board.

Yep, Jim is one of the best out there. He plays great Jazz, Country, Pop, well, he just plays great. I really like his rendition of "The Prayer" which is probably the one you're referring to. When I grow up, I want to play just like him.

Jim plays so well that I'm convinced he's signed a pact with the devil.

Want to see Jim Cohen live and get to hang with him to boot? Come to the P.S.G.A. show November 6 in Norwalk, CT where Jim will be one of the featured players. All for a mere $20 admission fee.

Well, this is a nice surprise; thank you all for the nice remarks. I'm looking forward to playing at the PSGA show on Nov 6 (my birthday!), where I know I'll see John and Stu and a large bunch of old and new friends. What better way to spend one's birthday?

And, Roger, as for having signed a pact with the Devil, if I'd really done so, I sold out too cheaply; I should have asked for more...

With or without the Phillies cap, Jimbeau is versatile as they come. I always enjoy playing guitar behind him, he is very talented, and a great individual also. Love ya Jim.

I agree, I always liked the way he reaches out to be different. If I'm at any show he's playing on I make sure to be at his set.

Thanks again, guys. It seems that you're not the only ones who think my music is diverse...

I have no idea how diverse you are as I have only seen some of your playing. But you played "Some day Soon" at a show that I think was in Ireland. That was some monster classic steel and was LOADED with really cool right hand techniques and tone to die for. In fact, its on youtube somewhere. REALLY fine country steel with killer tone and such cool execution of chimes and muting. Great stuff.

That's really good, Jim! It makes a good instrumental. I usually sing this tune but, perhaps, I'd cause less anguish if I just played it instead.

Thank you, James and Roger.

But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think about me?

Cripes, people! Could you stop laying it on so thick? Here in Philly, some of us have to work with the guy and it would be nice to keep him at least a WEE bit humble, dammit!

Next gig:

"Hey Jim...do you have a setlist for us?"

"Nope......but have you seen all these rave reviews people on the internet have written about me? Here, I printed enough for everyone to read!"

Take no notice, Jim F. - we're only pulling his leg.
