After searching around, I find that “Handsome Jim Balcom” was indeed the Jim Balcom, who, with his brother Orville, played great dance music at high school events and local dances. I still have a picture of them playing their saxaphones along with someone else I can’t remember. I graduated from Narbonne Hi in 1959. I read of Orville’s death in ’08 I believe. A shame. Sounded like a really great guy.
What is Jim doing these days? He must have entered his 70′s by now as I have. Thanks for keeping me posted. Joan Rogers
