Jim Mayer Releases New Single; a Memorial Tribute to 10-year-olds Jasmine McClain and Ashlynn Conner

My friend and client Jim Mayer's new single, "Show Me The Light," is now available for purchase on CD Baby.  Jim, who is a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, wrote, recorded and released this song to honor the memory of 10-year-olds Jasmine McClain (from North Carolina) and Ashlynn Conner (from Illinois), both of whom were victims of bullying. Both committed suicide last month, within a few days of each other, the week before Thanksgiving.

Jim will perform this song for the first time next week in North Carolina, for children who attended school with Jasmine - for every child in her school district, in fact - as part of an hour-long anti-bullying program. He's performed this acclaimed program for children and audiences worldwide, and we're delighted that Jasmine's school district superintendent reached out to Jim and asked him to come and play for every school in their district next week.

I'm also very proud to say that Jim will present this song to Jasmine's mother Samantha next week, in a private meeting in Jasmine's hometown, where this 6-week journey began.

You can hear a sample of the song and purchase it here, on CD Baby. You can follow Jim on Twitter, at @unclejimrocks or on his Facebook page:
