Dare to be Stupid, hands down, when he is in the cowboy hat

I'm always amazed at Jim's guitar playing on UHF

Some of his best guitar playing has got to be on his own album, Coconut Hat. Found an old article about his slack-key guitar playing here.

I heard on NPR this morning that the Grammys have a new category for Hawaiian music. I suppose Jim will be eligible if he releases another CD like Coconut Hat. I don't think it matters that he's Canadian.

I'm not exactly an expert on the subject, but I love Jim's bit on the Live video between The Saga Begins and Yoda. Or is it between Fat and Saga? Brain fart.

Coolness!

But would he be eligible if it's not released on a "major label?" Not that I think Jim really would care-- it seems to be his personal relaxation-and-creativity music.

But let me say that I'm ALL in favor of another CD like Coconut Hat.

UHF


or



that instrumental after Fat in the concerts

The beginning of Money For Nothing...I love that riff, and Jim does it soooo well.
