A Message from James
Nov 1, 2024The question for us voters is whether or not we believe in the Great American Experiment: Freedom, Justice and Democracy. One citizen-One Vote, the Rule of Law… I mean no disrespect to supporters of Mr Trump, but to me the choice is very clear—Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will protect and preserve our Democracy. Donald Trump and JD Vance will not and their branding of anyone who opposes them as the “enemy within” actually threatens the very fabric of our democracy.
No matter what the opposing party has been saying, our economy is the envy of the world and our alliances have never been stronger. The radical and in my mind, risky alternative is to continue the paralysis and division that the Republicans seem to be committed to.
In my opinion, a Harris/Walz administration, built on and continuing with the extraordinary successes of the last four years, is the clear and rational choice. I hope you will join me next Tuesday in electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

A note from James
Sep 25, 2024This is a really important last-show/tour’s-end for one of our family. Dave Morgan our undaunted, ardent and deeply committed audio engineer, who has mixed the sound for millions of concert goers in his long professional lifetime, is retiring.
I fully expect to stay connected with him because he has become such a central part of this band and crew and its extended family. But the road doesn’t go on forever and Dave has finally chosen to make time for the other loves of his life: his family and that fabulous, vintage Taylor guitar he holds so dear.
This isn’t goodbye because he’s woven so deep in all our lives, but rather a heartfelt “carry on” as he opens the next chapter in the unique adventure that is his life in music. He has agreed to help assemble a live album from the literally thousands of our concerts he has been quietly recording since the turn of the century (..ok, maybe not always so quietly)…
