James Allen a man of courage\u00a0many love him and call him friend. With his heart he promotes artists and to DJ’s their songs he sends. Lately he’s fought a BIG fight but has kept a great attitude. Not letting cancer defeat him or getting him down or unglued. Many are rooting daily\u00a0for you and missing you and your\u00a0cheery ways. We hope\u00a0and pray James that\u00a0you have a very\u00a0special birthday. We\u00a0ask God for a miracle attached to this birthday greeting. Special dear friend of many may he\u00a0bless you with\u00a0a healing. Dear wonderful James, have a happy blessed Birthday!\u00a0 Having you in Bob’s and my life has been awesome.\u00a0 You are a terrific friend, and promoter.\u00a0 You\u2019re an example to many of courage and will to go on and on. May you enjoy your special day with your dear family.\u00a0\u00a0Feel blessed you came into our lives; you have made them richer by knowing you.\u00a0 In friendship lots of love Rhon and Bob<\/address>\n

James & I first met\u00a0you\u00a0at\u00a0a\u00a0Walmart doing some shopping in Puerto Vallarta! I love the way life has its ways of direction & opportunity. One must recognise the signs though!!\u00a0I did not readily, but corrected my path after meeting\u00a0such an\u00a0exceptional person\u00a0as yourself! James\u00a0explained his “art of promotion” which I thought was a great analogy! Artists come in many varieties! I have had access to many excellent Big Time promoters, but James\u00a0you have\u00a0a way of getting to your bottom line quickly. It\u2019s a gift\u00a0you\u00a0share with\u00a0your\u00a0honesty. I like genuine people with positive morals, an abundance of honest energy unabated by political meanderings. That\u2019s\u00a0you\u00a0James Allen.\u00a0You have mentored me in\u00a0my\u00a0promotional art for over two years now. \u00a0I have felt honoured\u00a0to be in that position of responsibility & sharing your\u00a0craft!! I\u00a0wish\u00a0you\u00a0the Best Birthday possible & we hope for many more from\u00a0you my\u00a0fine talented artist\u00a0I\u00a0call\u00a0MY\u00a0friend.<\/address>\n

Happy Birthday James. You are one very special Long Tall Texan. Though I’ve only gotten to know you through our love of music I certainly wish I had met you years ago. EVERYONE has only had wonderful things to say about\u00a0you and I know they are right. \u00a0Allen loves you like a brother, and I have learned that he has great taste! I hope this birthday finds you feeling a little better and that you know that you have so many people who wish well. We all feel that the music world is a better place because of you.

Dear James: As you know and as I always tell people. You took me under your wing. You then coached me and we changed my music style to a more traditional country sound. As a result I have had positive response to my songs. I will be forever grateful to you my friend. Have a wonderful birthday.<\/address>\n

Below is a Special Poem written by our favourite WHISNews21 Poet Patty Patrick<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roses From My Heart <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Written for James Allen on his birthday July 7, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is my heart of roses\u00a0for this special day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing you, my dear friend James,\u00a0you will give them all away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, give one to your sister –\u00a0who to you is very dear<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0in hopes that it will bring her\u00a0a little floral cheer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take one to a friend\u00a0who\u2019s not feeling very well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flower and the gesture\u00a0will help more than you can tell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reserve one for a friend\u00a0you haven\u2019t known for very long.<\/strong><\/p>\n

who struggles, so in some small way,\u00a0this will help to carry on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rest give to your friends\u00a0who\u2019ve helped you in so many ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who\u2019ve been a cheerful presence\u00a0on all your dreary days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The roses were so pretty\u00a0I know you will not keep them all,<\/strong><\/p>\n

except one single bud, standing\u00a0beautiful and tall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one will be for our friendship,\u00a0for the love we share,<\/strong><\/p>\n

for the comments and the laughter,\u00a0as a sign how much we care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am sending you these flowers\u00a0to brighten up your day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biggest joy I have received\u00a0was – when you gave them all away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Birthday \u2013 James<\/strong><\/p>\n

I LOVE YOU<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Patty Patrick<\/p>\n
