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:
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! |
