James, The Gang at Nied's Hotel would like to thank you and the band for an enjoyable evening of great music and fellowship.  The band jumped through hoops to dodge the oncoming rain showers and went about their business in a professional manner.  The guitar licks were tight, the percussion section laid down a mean beat and the vocals were right on.  A memorable show that entertained for another good cause.
Keep up your efforts.  The world needs more people like the James Band! - J.N.

Hi James, What moving words, you never cease to amaze me with your talents!  Have a great day…. C.B.

James, this is so nice.  Thank you very much for taking time to do this and helping to promote the event.  It is wonderful and I am so glad you are a part of it all.
Looking forward to seeing you soon! - L.H.

James, You sure are getting around and doing all sorts of great things for people through your music!  Hope you are doing well. - C.B.

James, You're always there for other people.  In fact, the shortest sermon ever preached in church was a one word sermon...."OTHERS!" - J.N.

On the thank you letters from the kids about the performance at the school:

Pretty cool!  Not only did you provide music….you provided the material for a class assignment. - D.M.

I would imagine that was one of the best "thank you's" you've ever gotten!  How sweet to read them all, it certainly warmed my heart on a slightly chilly day! - K.H.

That was very sweet.  I bet those letters really made your day. - K.S.

Wow James!!  I got goosebumps reading those!!  It sounds as if you have made an impact on many of their lives.  I'm sure you have created many a future musician!  It looks like your work has only just begun.  CONGRATULATIONS!! -  A.M.

James,
Just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed the performance at lunch time today. I had the opportunity to go over and talk to Lisa after you introduced us. Thanks! Sorry I didn't get to say good-bye but you were in the middle of a song and I had to get back. Everyone loved you guys! Thanks for putting a spark in our day and we surely hope to see you back! - S.Z.

It was so wonderful having you and John play at Hillman today. Your music is so uplifting and you brought so much warmth and good feelings into the Hillman today . . .something patients and staff need every once in a while! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with us. - L.H.

Sounded great today. As usual, I couldn't stay too long, but it was a perfect venue for your music! - S.F.

WAY TO GO JAMES!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! It is very refreshing to see somebody following their heart in life. You are a big man with a big heart, James, figuratively of course. And, so many people are better off today because of that. Congratulations!! - A.M.

I'm so proud that I got to know you Jim. You are doing Great things. Congratulations! - D.D.

I wanted to say thanks for everything last Saturday. We loved the music. Everyone told us how good "yens" were & how they felt it was a great idea to have live musicians. Even my Aunts loved the music. Your music completed the party. Your company was also enjoyed!! Please extend my thanks to Cash & Johnny & Hadley(of course). It was good to see you guys again. You guys are real friends & great people - L.H.

Great lyrics! I have known Natalie since she was a little seven year old girl. She has inspired many of those around her including myself. Your song is a great gift to her and a tribute to her soul. - B.P.

You have a big heart my friend. - B.H.

James, what a beautiful song. You surely are an artist and have your own incredible and gifted soul. Thanks for sharing - C.B.

James, Great song and a great evening that was truly enjoyable! Our buddy Bob had tears in his eyes as he listened and watched his daughter while you played. Talk about hitting someone in the deepest part of his soul. It's amazing how music can affect our lives. Thanks for making a special effort to share your music with our friends at the bar. And thanks for getting "Back in the game!" - J.N.

James, Thank you once again for writing that song about me. It meant a lot to me and it MADE my day. It's such a beautiful song that I just can't seem to get enough of it! - N.L.

Been wanting to drop you a line to let you know I think it is really wonderful what you have been doing. I always knew you had a big heart but you kept your music talent hidden. Keep up the good work. God always pays those in tenfold for the kind deeds done to others.- K.Z.
