James S. Blair, Jr.

Jimmy is a musician with talents equally adept at playing several instruments but found his first love to be the guitar. While growing up in Gastonia his love of music emerged when he started out and became a proficient trumpet player. Through junior high, senior high and college he sat as the first-chair horn. While love of music was unabated, Jimmy didn't find the fulfillment he desired. Then he remembered the guitar, an instrument he tinkered around with in high school and that settled the issue. He sold his trumpet at a yard sale and concentrated on guitar. For the past forty years he has played a variety of music including Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Swing and Jazz. He is an original member of The StarDusters where he adds variety to its repertoire as a sometimes-vocalist. Jimmy is a 1968 graduate of The Citadel, owns a textile sales and internet consultant agency. His work takes him through North Carolina and Virginia. His hobbies include water skiing, snow skiing and golf.
