RIP James.  I'll always remember our days playing in a country band, "The Egyptian Cowboys", in EC.  The band consisted of James, me, Harold Kite, and Zeke who was from Egypt (Near Glen Flora).  We weren't any good but we had fun.

Thanks Grady for your support for the Egyptian Cowboys.  James had a real love of Hank Williams.  Those are the only songs we played.
