FIRST LIGHT is the virtual band of Jim Wiehoff. Jim has played guitar and bass for many years and more recently began to explore drums, keyboards, and pedal steel guitar. After decades of playing other people's music, Jim is excited to be creating new tunes of his own. He is making his first foray into on-line music and is enjoying the experience. He hopes you enjoy the results. Check back often for new material.
