Tennis Tune: Red, White and Green
By Richard Pagliaro
Web Editor for: Tennis Week Magazine

Tennis serves as a sport and a source of entertainment for many fans, but for James Limborg it's a musical muse. The 34-year-old Roseville, Minnesota musician, a self-described "Eddie Van Halen-style rock guitarist" and a 3.5 rated tennis player, has written and recorded his tribute to tennis: "Red, White and Green."

From James Limborg, "Good news! Today I was contacted by my local (Minneapolis, MN) radio station (92 KQRS, Paul Bringardner, KQ Homegrown Music Director) to send them a cd-quality-version of my new song titled Red, White and Green for air-play on their KQ Homegrown show! Thanks Paul and KQRS staff!"

"Hi Jim, Just started checking out some of your stuff. The Van Halen sounds great. Loved the wham bar. What setup did you use for that? Or your solo stuff? 5150-Marshall, steinberger? Keep it up, Glenn."

"Wow... Your music seems to have an udercurrent of eclectic homogenization. Perhaps to the point of being totally original. What I'm saying here is so frequently, artists end up giving us music in which we think, at least on some level, that we have been there, done that. When done right, of course, such close following of formats makes for highly acceptable music. When done wrong, we scream, "...this is derivative." What you have here is something that does manage to touch a universal chord, is recognizable to our experiential patterns, and yet does not lend itself to be easily quantifiable. Thus, your music is both accessible, in that we feel we understand it, and yet totally new and different. I'll come right out and say it: The last time I was struck like this was a decade and a half ago, when I first heard a Malmsteen tape. I am startled that you are unsigned! How to improve? Just keep at it and allow your music to deepen with age, as the great artists do."

Do you play live?
I have, yes.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet allow's people to upload their original music to be heard by everyone who has internet in the world. The MP3 file format allows people to convert their cd-quality music to a 10 times smaller file size, which makes their music available to internet users. MP3 at 128kbps sounds cd-quality and is 10 times smaller file size than a cd-quality file. MP3 at 24kbps is a low quality MP3 that even dial-up modem users can stream on the internet and still hear the song in stereo and in OK quality.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, As long as I'm young and strong enough to hold a pen.
