Jim -
In case you're still checking your site from the great beyond - I got your messages! I mean, why would my ABBA neon sign come on by itself? Not only on the day you left us, but also on your birthday! Well done.

Jim you were my best friend. I can’t believe I will never here my phone again with a text from you. I am not sure I am going to be able to stand this world without you. Fly high Jim because I know without a shadow of a doubt I will see you again. Until then there won’t be a day to go by that I don’t think of you:(

My god I am just reading your lyrics to I Looked Twice. That honestly could have been written about me and my hubby. We met when I went to see his band playing. My mate was going mental over the guitar player, and he wasn't all that. She asked me who I liked and I said, none of them, but if I had to pick one it would be that drummer and he ain't all that. Then they had their break and i went to the bathroom, as I was going out he was coming in and he looked at me and that was it. Cupids arrow hit! We started chatting, and here we are 37 years, 4 children and 4 grandchildren later.

Yes and I also have a list if stations in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the Neverlands. I am going to add these to the list. That way I can email shot. One email from me, over 100 emails go out. If you know of any stations in the States that we can send them to, let me know and I can add them to the list.

I have spent this afternoon creating a data base 0f 78 stations recommended by the ISSA. I can now mail shot them all with our music.

Also last night DJ Dory's New Indie World Radio had an award night. I noticed my name was on her list. I tuned in and she played 3 of my songs. 2 of them were Feel so Country and A Man is a Man. I am waiting to find out today whether I have won an award for them. If I have I will forward it to you. Though she did not say last night whether I had won, she said she would be in contact with me today, and that a lot of the acts she played last night have won her platinum or triple platinum award. The triple seemed to be linked to whether she played 3 songs, so fingers crossed.

I was so glad to discover your Maverick work! In my view, it was the most ground-breaking TV show of its decade. Thank you for all your insights and for a spirit in keeping with this wonderful classic.

Well Jim first off thank you for responding so quickly. Just to kind of let you know about this next album. Im actually working on my sixth album which I hope to have released by June. This album is going to be a country-gospel. I've always done one of each separately but I feel that God is leading me to put my heart and soul into this one. The reason I say this is because I've always said Im country at heart and gospel at soul, kind of hints the reason. So as you can gather I sing country and gospel music all over West Virginia and parts of Ohio mainly at fairs, festivals and churches. I love this gift God has given me and I can not thank him enough. He has provided me with so much and continues each and everyday. As with most singers we are all hoping for that big record deal but one hasn't come just yet, but im enjoying the ride so far. Im also still a college student majoring in business and I graduate in December. So I could go on forever but I won't put you through that but thank you for allowing me to record this song.
Another thing, if I could get any chord sheets that you may have for the song and/or a demo copy of this so that when I go into the studio the musicians have something to go by id appreciate it.
Thanks again

Josh,
Sure. I would be happy for you to record JESUS PAID MY DEBT. I am an ASCAP writer here in Nashville. I have my own publishing at Michael Colyer Songs ascap. Michael is my son.
Up til now, I have done my own publishing. I have songs coming out on a label now and may need an established publisher. For now, we can do a makeshift publisher/artist agreement. I hereby grant you license to record, release and perform my song (Jesus Paid My Debt), retaining author and publishing rights for myself (Jim Colyer, James Ronald Colyer, Michael Colyer Songs) and any legal amount of moneys which go with publishing and authorship.
Stay in touch. I want a copy of your finished recording, of course. And anything you can tell me about yourself will be greatly appreciated.

I just finished reading "Michael's Story". I must say, I was impressed. I am glad that you and Michael have managed to do so many special things together, even though you weren't with him all the time. I do hope that he knows how special he is to me and that I love him and am so proud of all the things he has accomplished. I know he will go far. I am glad that you are able to write papers about the places we have been. We did a lot, and it is great to be able to go back and read about the trips we took and the things we did.
