Exclusive interview with Jim

January  2012

Part 2

Songs

K&M: What  song made you want to get into music?
Jim:
I don't think there was just one.

K&M:  What song reminds you of your first girlfriend ever?
Jim: Good question. It might be Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi

K&M:  What song was played at your wedding?
Jim: Caribbean music!!! We were in the islands and pop music did not really play a large part of it.

K&M:  What song reminds you of the Rockstar TV show?
Jim: Any song we ever played on the show reminds me of the show. Time After Time might be s standout.

K&M:  What song makes you want to turn up the volume?
Jim: All good songs should be played loud!

K&M:  What song you never want to perform again for whatever reason?
Jim: I'll never tell.......

K&M:  What song would you like to be remembered for?
Jim: I'm not sure I'm old enough to answer that - hopefully I still have a lot of music to create - that being said, I just wrote one that might be in top few - and I will release it this year.

K&M:  Favourite country song – if you have one?
Jim: As I have mentioned before, I don't have one favorite anything

K&M: An interview with sunfired.net would not be complete without our traditional “IPOD Shuffle” questions. Take your IPOD and tell us the first three songs that come up.

Jim:

The Best Damn Band

K&M: A question about Avril’s band members.  We know you met Steve Fekete through Berklee College of Music.  Before joining Avril’s band, did you know Al Berry, Ferlazzo, and Rodney Howard?

Jim: I did not know the other guys before joining the band.


K&M: In the past 5 years you guys have travelled across all 5 continents. Have you ever taken a wrong flight or missed a flight?

Jim: We've never taken a wrong flight, but Fekete missed a connection once this year and we all barely missed a flight in Heathrow in 2007.


K&M: Who’s always on time and who is always late?
Jim: Ferlazzo is always early. Fekete is always late.

K&M: Who has the most annoying habit?
On the advice of counsel, I decline to answer.

K&M: Who’s the most easy going?
Jim: Everyone is pretty easy, otherwise they would have been gone a long time ago.

K&M: Who’s the computer wiz in the band?
Jim: Ferlazzo.....not even close

K&M: Who’s the neatest? Conversely, who’s the messiest? (that is, if you’d like to dob anyone in!)
Jim: Al is the neatest by far.

K&M: Who is the best traveller? (i.e. doesn’t complain much)
Jim: On the advice of counsel, I decline to answer. Maybe Fekete?

K&M: Anyone in the band has some hidden talent?
Jim: All of us have hidden talents, but Al might have the most.


Just for fun

K&M: If you could choose to have dinner with people (real or fictional) who would you invite and why?
Jim: Brian Eno - just to be around his brilliance. Eckart Tolle - same reason


Christmas

K&M: How do you plan on spending the Christmas holidays this year?
Jim: With family at home.

K&M: We absolutely love Christmas so we have to ask this question.  Have you ever considered writing your own Christmas single or album? 
Jim: I love Christmas and would love to do a Christmas song!
