Jim James on the megaphone with Preservation Hall Jazz Band

[Erik26]

I like how JJ is using an old school megaphone...mind you it would be somewhat of a letdown if he used the old rock and roll cliche megaphone.

While he was singing, a tree with christmas type lights on it started on fire.  Was it the lights blowing causing the fire, or was it Jim's amplified vocals?

The vocals!

That megaphone was Sweet Emma's. Jim told a great story last night about a dream he had just before the first time he went to Preservation Hall and used it.

I have Sweet Emma's Preservation Hall Jazz Band in my record collection.  When all the Preservation talk started coming up a while back, I thought, I know I've got something of theirs.  It's nice too.  A real treat to listen too.  But I had no idea the one Jim uses was hers.  How cool.
