Jim Boggio: All Of Me, 1995

Jim Boggio loved to play jazz, especially the blues. He also loved the roots music such as cajun. Jim had a fun sense of humor and performed with intense passion. Here in 1995, in Detroit, I caught him doing what he loved best. Sadly he left us much too young at age 56, in Nov. of 1996.

I was raised in Cotati, CA, and used to listen to Jim at the La Grande Restaurant on Stony Point Rd...He would also use his expressive face for commercials on local TV commercials, and they were always my favories...The Accordian Festival at Cotati Park (on Vito Gruvi's bandstand) is an international highlight, and when I walk into downtown Cotati, I always make it a point to walk by the park and pat Jim's shoulder on the left side of his statue...A great musician and a great man...

What a wonderful friendly guy! The good Lord has taken him to the promised land and we can enjoy his music until we meet again.

This is my Dad! Thank you for posting this. I do not have this video. He is right "this guy is good"...he said that all the time. I laughed and cried at the same time.

Thanks again...love you and miss you Dad!

Jim attended our high school in the mid 50s (Watsonville, CA). He impressed everybody in the music classes. He was a professional musician even then but one of the friendliest and helpful kids. It's appropriate that his friends had a bronze statue made of him in Cotati, California. RIP, Jim.

Nice job Jim! Saw your Route 66 too.

Great music when done right on the accordion.
