Jim Eaves - January 28th 1944 - December 4th 2003

A great musician passed away on December 4th 2003. Jim Eaves was one of my mentors. I first met Jim when we were both playing at the Dugout on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village in 1976.

Amazed by his skill and style on the guitar I was eager to learn as much from him as I could, and he willingly obliged. Jim was always a generous man. Always there to talk about music - and anything else - with an 18 year old just getting started in life. He will be missed.

Idle Thoughts
The old truck tells me
I need repair this cold day -
Ignitor broken.
In the background is my beloved '84 Nissan King Cab pickup truck.... ...to which I am deeply in debt.
