    Never seen someone rocking an acoustic guitar like this. And such power in his voice at this age! Yep, an underrated legend, that he is.

    I had the chance to meet and talk with Jim and he signed a CD for me. Super Cool. The place rocked every time The Ides of March played The Acorn. This was when he hosted was the annual singer-songwriter competition. We bonded over being Chicagoland kids. I told him his music brought a lot of Joy to our lives.

    I saw him years ago in a concert called "Chicago Gold" which included a reunion of The Ides Of March. After their set, he sat at a piano onstage and played all of the songs that he had written over the years and I was amazed at how many he had written that were hits for other groups. In my opinion it was the highlight of that show.
