Keyboards, Saxophones, Guitar, Lead Vocals
Member since 1987
Starting in high school (Pinckney, Michigan), Jim Selleck received his musical training as a guitar player. It only took him about 13 years to figure out that he should be playing keyboards instead. He started learning piano while attending Michigan Tech University.
Jim transferred to Eastern Michigan University and played lead guitar in a series of forgotten combos, all the while maintaining an interest in playing and writing on the piano. Jim toured with Maxfield Blue in 1980, then joined Jerry Hoelscher's band Hytimes, working with friend and sax-master Don Edwards.
In 1986, Jim joined Donna Marie and Motion and was introduced to the Detroit live music scene, performing in many venues, and as the first live band to perform on the Detroit river cruise ship, Star of Detroit (an adventure later repeated with the Dittilies).
Finally, fate and fortune brought Jim to the Dittilies.
"...and the rest is history."
Married to Bev since 1991, Jim is a proud dad and now granddad, a computer systems guru, film maker, photographer, and writer. He is the webmaster of the Dittilie web site.
Since 1977, he has owned and operated Jim Selleck Piano Tuning and Repair Service, and is available to work on pianos throughout the southeast Michigan region.
