Unless Wilson lives in Baltimore, I would doubt it very much. Jim's playing is testament to the importance of practicing. He has stated that he plays daily and for more than an hour at a session. Skill and talent are not the same though. Jim displays a lot of talent.

Because of his abundance of skill and talent, and the fact that not too many people know of Jim's musical attributes ,I thought that with that kind of skill, he should be known right across the Cajun musical spectrum and beyond.
i'm in norfolk,virginia...few hours drive from ya...and i wouldnt mind driving up there one weekend for a lesson or two.....i'm like the only person i know around here that plays..so the only exposure i'm getting is from the dirk's dvd's and larry book.
i have no idea when i'll be going back home to La. for a visit....and i refuse to pay $500-800 for an accordion camp...so its dvd's until i can learn in person lol
i'm gonna go see wilson and the pine leaf boys in DC..ya going?
Where do you hail from Chad? I'm in Monkey County up I 270. I could use lessons or just someone else to keep in time with. It would have been a long drive for JP from La to Silver Spring!
Greg playing the fiddle is 19 from silver spring, he is THE man on that fiddle. Right now he's in Tenn. but should be back in the summer. I'm looking forward to playing music with him again.
The guy is genius, he heard that song twice and then we recorded it.
