I met Jim in Montreal about 1968 when I joined the Montreal Vintage Music Society. I was the baby of the group that lived in the music of the 20's, 30's and 40's. Jim had many programs at CFCF, where he was program director, but his best were the Big band show, and Bridge to Dreamland, complete with airchecks from the early 1940's. He played these with his own commentary filling in the gaps. I let my Reel to Reel run in the early 60's :recording bits and parts of these shows as well as weather reports and commercials.. I dropped out of the group in 1977, while Jim was the expert deluxe, keeping the ship afloat,musically. I heard that he bought a station in Eastern Ontario, and that was the last I heard of him. Final note...imagine a Clint Eastwood with glasses and a discography under his arm !
