Jim
Dill began his musical career as a french horn player for the school band
but quickly got bored and moved on to piano and keyboards. Realizing that
the piano is hard to bring to a gig, Jim soon took up the djembe, and
began playing in the Dill family band. As he matured, Jim discovered that
he had a fine low voice and began to sing, as well as play an instrument.
Ask him to sing "Folsom Prison Blues and you're in for a real treat.
Jim has a gift for acting and has performed as Lazar Wolf the Butcher
in Millbrook High's 2006 performance of Fiddler on the Roof.
