I know this is irrelevant but I'll tell you anyway. We had in Australia a 
trombonist named James Jesse, but of course he was usually called Jim. It is 
Australia after all. I don't know if he is still with us. The last mention 
of him that I can recall was thirty or so years back in a newspaper report 
of a court case - he was found with an "illegal substance" sewn into the fly 
of his trousers.

We all deserve our fifteen minutes of fame.
