Thanks for the update!

My boss has a beautiful condo on the beach in Maui that he lends out to people, and I've always meant to get some of Jim's CDs to leave there the listening pleasure of those who stay at the condo.

Now he has even more CDs to take along!

Jim has been nominated in the Just Plain FOlks Music Awards (though I don't think for this album). These awards consider more music than the Grammys so it really is an honor to be nominated. You can go here:

and search for Kimo to find his nominations.

Congrats Jim!

That's great! Congratulations, Jim! I have Slack Key West as well, and it is a wonderful cd. You deserve this.
