I am sometimes disheartened by the volume of postings and responses on this forum.

However, I hope and believe, that more people are viewing here than we know. One reason is that the number of Jim Reeves postings on YouTube seems to be increasing exponentially.

Unfortunately many of the YouTube postings are not based in reality, or even sanity.

That being said, I have noticed that a vast majority of comments on Jim, on the rational postings, are from people my age (75) or in the 65 or older range. A growling number of youthful fans seems on the horizon as well.

The loyalty, respect, and admiration for Jim's music is extremely strong and well articulated in these comments.

The comments encourage me.

When we log on, YouTube, AI, or whatever, suggests videos according to our research history. Therefore, Jim suggestions come up often.

Today, YouTube suggested a video "Ralph Emery Show with Mary Reeves Oct 9, 1972, posted by JametJordan1. It is 47 minutes long and contains comments by Mary and Jim I had never heard before.

As always, I post for FYI only.
