    I think I’ve seen Colin about 8 times, the first time being at Dr. Rockets in London, Ont. When I lived there for a few years. What a treat to see that rambunctious and talented young man at the start of his career. I feel very blessed to have seen him at the beginning. He was and is my favourite musician and have introduced a lot of people to his music over the years! Thank you Colin for all that you have shared with the world and still are!! Hopefully get to see you at the Grey Eagle here in Alberta in the fall

    This is a good version of the original song by Lee Harvey Osmond "Tom Wilson" and funny they are friends and on tour together this month. Check out the LHO version you will not be disappointed. But this is certainly a cool version too!

    • @alkie2008
      @alkie2008 9 років тому

      Jb Thompson actually the song was originally co-written by Colin James and Tom Wilson in 1995 and was on Colin`s 1995 album Bad Habits... Lee Harvey Osmond just formed in 2009 , so yes it`s Tom`s Song but not originally his Persona Lee Harvey Osmonds song.

    Just saying…… Filmed & recorded live perhaps… however, I believe a great deal of fixes or recording may have been done in post.
    My eyes show me one thing, and my ears tell me another.
    If you're gonna claim filmed & recorded live, perhaps you ought to actually do it.
