Love the music, and I think it's real interesting you have tapped into that side..Can't wait to read the book/books..There is more to the James family than just Frank & Jesse....

Looking forward to this video hitting the stands. Being from the David James family of South Wales who came over on the Bristol Factor this is a must to add to my collection. Great narration and loved the music.

I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the books but I thought it was a tiny bit long. And, please no get upset with me. He asked for our honest opinions.

I use every name I have so I don't confuse anyone.

This video definitely sparked an interest in reading your book. I am very interested in learning more about the history of the James family.

I appreciate all the comments so far, and welcome more. This vid also was posted to our blog Leaves of Gas and of course on YouTube. About 200 have viewed the video to date. Most of the comments, however, came off forum, sent directly to me through private email. General reaction has been very good. In fact, better than expected. The big surprise has been the strong appeal to women. While the book is targeted to 21 specific audiences, the next focus video will probably take the female audience into more consideration, thanks to the focus groups.
