I would sure like to see some of the fans who use to post here come back again. We had a nice little following of Jim's fans who gathered here to trade stories and opinions, and It's been a little quiet here lately...

I agree wholeheartedly!! This is really the only place for Jim Reeves fans to gather and share our admiration for Jim and his music. I have written letters to Reelz TV, PBS, and A&E strongly requesting they consider Reeves for a documentary or something. It's like he never existed! I appreciate Larry Jordan and his efforts to perpetuate Jims memory, but I would love to see a large enough movement to bring him more to the fore front.

I couldn't agree more,Tom. I've been thinking the same thing for years! Many singers that have become a household name through the years, clearly are not the talent that Jim was. Somehow, Jim seemed to fall between the cracks when it came to gaining this kind of greatness, even though he still has millions of fans throughout the world. Jim deserves the same recognition as Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby, yet that has never happened...
PLEASE HELP PROMOTE THE FAN FORUM

Although I monitor the Fan Forum, I admit I don't do so as often because fewer people have been posting here, as Facebook seems to have taken over the world. But the several FB pages devoted to Jim seem to just contain incessant reposts of links to YouTube songs that you can find on your own anyway...and no real information on Jim of value.
(We also have a FB page, "The Jim Reeves Way", that has nearly 700 followers).
I agree that the Fan Forum has always been a lively exchange of information about Jim Reeves and those associated with him. I'd like to see this page re-invigorated.
So for anyone reading this message, PLEASE POST THE LINK TO MY SITE ON FACEBOOK!
Please tell people that this has been THE most informative and authoritative site on the internet pertaining to Jim and encourage them to visit.
I'd really appreciate your help on this. Remember, the link to the opening page of the site is: http://www.jim-reeves.com
Then be sure to point out that on page 2, they will find the FAN FORUM link in the upper left corner and that they should click that to come here.
Julie,glad to see you promoting the forum. I certainly miss reading what other fans have to say and the interaction we used to have. I hope others will read your words and start posting here again. This is where Jim's fans belong. It's always been a great place to share our thoughts on Jim and show our appreciation for him and his music...
Hello everyone, its been sometime since I last posted anything on here, but I have just read Julie`s post from early May this year regarding promoting the forum. I agree with Julie that Facebook(and youtube) seems to have taken over the promotion of everything Reeves in recent years But it has to be said that the main site has fallen back content wise and apart from the excellent CD`s that have seen sold through the site much of the site itself has dated somewhat and perhaps that has deterred visitors from contributing to the forum. Perhaps if the site itself was given something of a makeover then there might be a renewed interest in the site and forum
