In addition to being a musician, Jim has the good fortune and privilege (most days!) of being a first-grade teacher. One of the blessings of that job is having summers off. With that time, Jim heads up to northern Wisconsin to spend his days working at one of his favorite places on earth—Camp Highlands for Boys. And in the evenings? He plays a lot of music! See below.
