James and his wife Linda were lovely to us when Zoe and I met them in NYC.
God bless him.
So sorry to hear about James Moody I was lucky enough to see him at a nice small gig at allandale when I was able to get his autograph. He said and I quote "To Eric with much spiritulistic love James Moddy (with artwork) by him. Im sure he is getting the best treatment and we can only pray he gets better. Regards Eric Stutt
