Jim was such an inspiration to me and my wife back in the late 2000´s when we first got into shagging. He was the first to offer to show me a shag move I asked him "Jim where did you learn all these moves." He gave me that ole Jim grin and said "the same place you are gonna learn them, you steal them." Great guy funny friendly serious and down to earth. God bless his family he left you with happy memories.
