COMMENTS ON Jim Burgess
As a lighting man I worked with Jim many times at !2 West and The Saint. He was an amazingly gifted dj musically. I remember one mix in particular...the Saint...7:30 am..packed room...1800 people...he actually played Jungle Fever by Chircakas on a 7" 45 rpm vinyl...then did a flawless mix into Tusk by Fleetwood Mac! and the crowd didn't even flinch!..they went nuts.
I just looked at him during that moment thinking...what the f***! He never underestimated the musical intelligence of his audience. He was fantastic.

I worked in the Underground with Jim. I just found out recently that he passed away. I'm so sorry.
Your music is one of a kind. All DJ"s have a certian style and your"s was to be flawless, a blending master. I have so many stories i would like to share with the people that remember the good old days. I have photo"s from the DJ booth in the Underground and a collection of Jim's music I'd like to donate something for all to remember a great person and a awesome DJ.
Your music will live forever with us that remember. I hope you will accept some items from me for your web site. I remember the the old times & they bring back memories that will last forever
Me and my wife will miss him. God bless you Jimmy.
