Jim is most likely done with the Troubadours, though the situation is
a bit uncertain. We bought and took with us his black P-bass, and
handed it off to the new bass player, who is now learning the Shadows
songs and looking to buy an appropriate-sounding amp. However, we're
all really good friends still, and we all were sad about Jim leaving,
including Jim himself. I wouldn't be surprised if we play together
again in the future. But for now his '60s-soul band is taking up
almost all of his time, since it's really going places. We're happy
for him, and we hope the band becomes a huge success. They're called
the Elevations, BTW.
We were fortunate enough to find another great bass player by name of
Scott right here in Hillsdale, where I live! He's classically
trained, can read music (WOW!), he's my age, and loves all music!
I've never seen a person so eclectic in his tastes. We're gonna
start working with him soon, and I gotta say that it really is
painful to even think about practicing all these songs from scratch
yet again! But we're very lucky we found him, and I'm looking
forward to the Troubadours future.
