| | James and the Giant ContestApril 2, 2011 - Bill AckerbauerCongratulations to James Frederick of Johnstown, who has been named a semi-finalist in the Times Union's Garage to Glory Singer-Songwriter contest. You can vote for James, and any of the other contestants, if you dig 'em, as they hope to make the cut of 10 finalists in the contest. Readers of our fine Sunday edition may recall we profiled James back in 2009, when he was filming a series of video interviews with fellow musicians out at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs. That story can be found here. See the video below for James' audition performance of his original song, “For the First Time.” I'm sure we're not hearing about him "for the last time."
