On August 20, 1998, at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge, Jim's
original band, Timberline, played together for the first time in
15 years. With Chuck Salestrom on bass, Jim on guitar and banjo,
Craig Link on drums, Dugg Duggan on guitar and mouth harps, and
Don Garberg filling in for the late Bill Howland on keyboards, the
band thrilled a sold out audience with some of their original music
and some of Jim's later songs in the first set of the show.
The second set was a tribute to the music of John Denver and featured
special guests John Sommers and Mollie Weaver.
The evening was a benefit for the Breckenridge Outdoor Education
Center and the funds raised are earmarked to provide outdoor experiences
for underprivileged, physically challenged people.
Audience response to the entire show was phenomenal, with several
standing ovations. Demand for tickets was so high, that a second
show was added a week later (see the August 27 photo gallery).
