Hi Jim - I've been listening to you for many years, yet not have been able to catch you performing anywhere. Hopefully you'll find your way to Kansas or near here soon! I've just relocated back here myself. I've been a guitarist a long time, and every time I pick up one of your CDs again I am impressed and gratified anew. Your work on Mist of Memory is enchanting and inspirational in my guitar playing, as is your playing with Tim Stafford and Bryan Sutton on Horseshoe Bend. Wonderful tone. Keep sharing your music with us please, and hope to see you around.

HI, Just saw you Sat night, at our little Bluegrass Club here in NY. Thanks for driving that long highway across PA to serenade us! What a treat! We are still humming "Same Old Moon" at our house! You have such a gift. Thanks again.

It was so nice to meet you in Auburn Hills Michigan on Sept. 6th, 2014. I am enjoying listening to your CD right now " Looking Glass " Just Awesome! You are just an amazing guitarist, but you also have a very pleasant voice. Easy to listen to. Looking forward to seeing you again somewhere down the road at another festival or wherever. Jim Sibley

Jim, a pleasure meeting you in BG with Claire Lynch. As a fellow picker of many years, it was a pleasure to hear you, and maybe we can play together somewhere down the line.

USA 2017...

... and so it begins.

A new year, a new era, a new introspective. New thoughts about this country, a new President, a new set of challenges. New.

I had a good 2016, and enjoyed the successes and challenges, although each presented me with opportunity to reflect on my career in ways I don't think I had thought of before. Maybe you are this way too, but I find myself always wondering if I am doing the right thing, making the best decisions.

When things are going well, it is not a big part of my thoughts. I tend…

Question: Why do women (and men) enjoy and support denigrating lyrics in music? (long-ish)

As a musician and artist, I am always mindful of my musical efforts. I search to find songs that express many things and offer a variety of story-lines and emotional content. Some of it my own composition and writing, some from other sources. It is a part of my own thoughts which reflect my upbringing and moral values. I am a Christian.

I enjoy so many kinds of musical art for its musical content and production, the vast amount of great talent is constantly amazing to me. I hear things that sprang…Read more

IF ONLY...

I have wondered and wondered why things are like they are. Why the things I feel so good about are being taken advantage of and abused by so many. Why do folks have to get more than their fair share? Why is it that stopping behind the white line – intended to be a place where one would stop on or just behind – is not enough? Is there some reason that folks have to go just beyond? Some far enough that the line may as well not exist.

As a former truck driver of many kinds but mostly 18-wheelers, I found…Read more

PIVOTAL CAREER EVENT?

Here's a post I placed on my Facebook pages today (5/14/2015) after my Wednesday night (5/13/2015) solo performance opening for the world famous Doobie Brothers at the wonderful Music City Roots here in Franklin, TN...

Good morning FB people...

I'm feeling pretty stunned from last night's event at Music City Roots - where I performed my solo set opening for the Doobie Brothers.

Opening for the Doobie Brothers. Wow, still hard to absorb.

I couldn't have dreamed this to happen for me... my dreams are either so…
