Music



This is Jim Connolly...! By day he is a piano tuner, but by night he is one of the most creative musicians I have ever met. One of the first times I met him he was playing the saw. He had an old rusty hand saw between his legs and was stroking it with a violin wand...Wow! what an awesome sound. He's a Bassist at heart, but he can play most any instrument you can think of and has even created a few of his own. He plays the piano, but instead of stroking the keys, he usually opens the piano and strums the cords with his fingers and beyond. I can't express enough my utter joy while working with him during various Lit Moon productions.

Jim is also the composer and bassist for his Gove County Philharmonic and Gove County String Quartet. Check out the link above, and you will be able to hear some of his music. Thanks Jim for your beautiful music, artistic vision, and for just being a great friend.
