My prayers go out to Zeb & everyone in his Family, whether Family in music, or by relation (or Both!). <br /><br />Fran & Zeb were among many at the Festivals who always motioned me to a lawn chair when I was ready to take a break from the jam sessions in the early '80's. Their kindness was ever appreciated as back then I was traveling by bicycle & could only fit so much on myself & on my 10-speed steed!--fiddle on my back, mandolin & tape recorder roped over the back wheel. <br /><br />Thanks again for your friendship, Fran, & again, I send my prayers & love. <br /><br />Liza WooleverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15323292.post-89230795642214386462010-11-04T07:51:55.821-04:002010-11-04T07:51:55.821-04:00Nov. 2010

Over the next 4 years we enjoyed playing music with Kenny DeMarcus, the Johnson Brothers, Kent Roe & Jeff White, the Moore Brothers and the list could go on and on. Since we hadn't been in contact with each other over the past 4-5 years, I was shocked when I googled him and his obituary popped up. I know that if he's run into my dad in heaven, they are definitely playing music together.<br /><br />PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633028365538923388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15323292.post-32561394042085560882010-05-05T09:21:21.213-04:002010-05-05T09:21:21.213-04:00I just recently found this BLOG......God Bless you...I just recently found this BLOG......God Bless you Jimbo, God needs great pickers and you qualify my friend.<br /><br />First met Jim back in the late 70's through Northern Indiana BLuegrass festivals.....kind, gracious with his knowledge but one of the dryest humors ever. <br /><br />Brian Lappin, Jim and I went to a banjo gathering in Knoxville and year ago last January.

I always admired Jim and felt in my heart that he made certain when it came to his music, particularly Bluegrass, that he would give every event, every Jam Session, every lesson and every small detail of his craft 100% dedication. Even though he was a very busy man, he accepted every invitation to come to my Parent's home, Ed and Freda Gilbert in Churubusco for "Pickin' Parties" we were alway thrilled to be graced by his presence, his expert playing and his shining smile. I will miss you so very much, Dear Friend Jim, My prayers are with you, Robin and Jim's Family. Enjoy the Sunshine of God's Perfect Love, Jim, May the Lord Jesus hold you in the Palm of His Loving Hand, Ellen (Gilbert) JefferiesEllen (Gilbert) Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373650312190812856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15323292.post-31692504464515021422009-10-17T05:41:55.305-04:002009-10-17T05:41:55.305-04:00Jim and I had the same employer for 30 years, we w...Jim and I had the same employer for 30 years, we were in different departments but I got to talk to him once in a while about his music and his knowledge of woods and instrument construction.

Jim made sure that I became fully indoctrinated into bluegrass over the next year or so. I will never forget him inviting me to one of their band practices at Ray Moore's house in Servia. That was my first real exposure to the music. It has truly enhanced the quality of my life. <br /><br />We stayed friends and in contact until my late wife, Bumba, and I went back to Alaska in 1984. That was the last that I had seen Jim until last January when I attended Banjothon down in TN. I was sitting on the bed in my hotel room when Dave Hedrick, Brian Lappin, and Jim Cornell walked into my room. All I can say is that I'll will always be thankful for the opportunity to reconnect with Jim and to have been able to spend some time with him. <br /><br />Jim touched many lives, and you always felt that he really cared about you. In a fairly recent phone conversation with Jim I asked him about his mandolin playing and part of his comment back to me was that he just wished that he could get a gig with a band playing banjo. Maybe now that wish has come true. <br /><br />God bless Jim and all of his family...Bill HayesBill Hayesnoreply@blogger.com
