Have A Lot Of Respect For This Guy

[Session 5]

I have been a Colin James fan for many years, he does Blues,Rock, Big Band music, I have seen him twice in my life, a great player and vocalist, has a lot of really good music. He put out his 21st album last year. Here's a bit of a run down on him.

If you don't know who he is, many do in the music industry. He is well worth checking out his music.
