Jim Griffey

Meet Jim Griffey from Erie, Pennsylvania.

I was born July 17, 1955. I became a big time fan after seeing America in concert on the Silent Letter tour. I got to do a radio interview with Gerry... he was very warm and down to earth. Since then I've seen them twice in '83, once in 85, once in '87 where I got to have my photo with Dewey and Willie (that, by the way, was the last time they were in Erie... how about coming back guys??) and finally in '89. I have family in Cincinatti so I hope to catch them there this January.

Currently I'm Production Director for a three radio station group - Classy 100, etc. (I write and produce commercials... I've even won a statewide award). In my spare time I play drums... mainly for local theatrical productions and shows... (got tired of schlepping them around in a band). My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary recently... no kids. Favorite album... "Hideaway"... least favorite..."Your Move".

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Jim.

Here's some interesting clips from the September 8, 2000 Goldmine Magazine.
