Jim Has been rockin' it for nearly 35 years, and though the guitar is his main passion and weapon of choice, he can play 8 other instruments, not counting the cowbell.  He currently teaches guitar at Buddy Rogers Music and has been for over 10 years.  He's been a member of several local bands (513, Haze Effect, Stone Crow, and porcelain Will).  He toured California in the early 80's with his original band "Those Darn Fish". playing with such acts as Huey Lewis and the News, Blue Oyster Cult, Y&T, Joan Jett and the Tubes (to name a few). We are not sure why he left California for the weather of Ohio, but we think it has something to do with a wardrobe malfunction on the beach in Santa Cruz "Muscle Man Week", and a restraining order from Betty White.
