I was in a Jazz group with a Jim Pepper at BYU during the 1959-1960 academic year. He was innovative with a beautiful tone on tenor. Comparing pictures of the Jim Pepper I knew suggests real similarities. Any chance of this being a very early part of what became a superlative musical career?

Try contacting Ron at ronschwerin@verizon.net. (Sorry to take so long to reply — I’ve one catastrophe after another with computers since Nov., and spend a lot of time with no access to up-to-date Outlook (even on working computers). That’s the only contact info I have for Ron, but I am going to be in touch with him (if that email works) and talk to him about a few things, s o I let him know about your request.
BTW, let me know if you’r site is up and alive, I’d love to see it!
Peave ( or as Pepper would say: “I see you now!”),

I was lucky enough to attend A Third Angle (www.thirdangle.org/) concert in Portland a couple of years ago. It featured a reading by Sherman Alexie with background music by a string quartet of music based on a Jim Pepper song. I found the reading and music to be an over-the-top experience. It was not recorded, which is a shame… but I was fortunate enough to get to be there and experience it. I recently have listened to a U-tube recording of Witchi Tai To from Peppers Goin’ and comin’ album. I cannot find a way to down-load it (Amazon or I Tunes). There are some copies available on Amazon for $50-70… I cannot get myself to spend that much. If you know of a way or site where I could download either the some or especially the album, I would appreciate that information. thank you for the information on this site.
