Just got this in the mail today while I was home on my lunch break. I only got a chance to listen to a few minutes of it on my way back to work, but Oh My Goodness!!! It is the perfect companion to the 8 CD set, The Great Jim Reeves!! All of this new music and the DVD in the past couple of months is a dream come true for Jim Reeves fans! I realize that a lot of people probably consider us misfits, but I know there is a kindred spirit among the fans of this great man and his music. Finding this web site years ago was one of the best things to happen to me (with few exceptions), and I am thrilled to be a part of the beginning of a new appreciation for Jim Reeves, and the pleasure of getting to know some fellow fans. Julie, earlier this month, you alluded to a television special on Jim. I assume you will keep us informed as to the airing, as I am sure the networks will probably not make much fanfare about it. Thanks Larry, Julie and Sara, once again, for you hard work, you many sacrifices, and your continued love and respect of Jim Reeves, his music, and his fans.

Naturally U.S. television networks aren't interested in Jim Reeves so the special I made mention of will be airing in Europe but I understand will also be streamed online so people everywhere will be able to view it. More details to come.
Incidentally, we need your help in spreading the word about these new releases. Many casual fans of Jim's would be eager to acquire this new music but don't even know about my site. They just assume that all the recordings Jim did were already released years ago. But of course we know that's not the case.
So I would really appreciate it if everybody who reads this page goes on Facebook or any other site you can think of, and tell them about the tremendous new Jim Reeves releases found here and give my web address -- www.jim-reeves.com Thanks! -- JULIE
