Got introduced to James on one of the many karaoke websites, there was a mutual feeling of likeness to each other´s songs from that moment on i became an online friend to James. I became ill myself I was going through aggressive chemotherapy treatment, therefore I lost contact but the cut a very long story short.
I´ve got an email telling me of James`s passing, to say it knocked me for six is an understatement. If any member of James`s family happens to read this, I´m Derek,from Dublin Ireland. James reached out far and wide to help others via musical backings and musical programs. James ,Rick (RIP)(aka-Shocky) and myself had some wonderful conversations about artists of old. James will be forever in my prayers as well as all the family and friends who mourn James´s passing.
We are into the third ¼ of 2025 some years have passed as I write this. James`s generosity knows no bounds a kind, generous man who has stamped an everlasting impression upon my life. I´m proud and honoured to have known him via our online friendship & musical likenesses rest in peace James.

Jim, the love of singing and old songs brought us together over 20 years ago. You were a a great help to me and your knowledge and wisdom helped me a great deal in so many ways. I really miss you and hope you are singing up a storm in heaven right now. I will treasure the many recordings you made for me. You're the best ! Your singing pal, Bob
