Is Jim Robkin still working somewhere?

I know Jim must be getting old by now, but man, we sure need him back or someone that's acts just like he does.  Until we get someone like him, I don't believe we will be able to recapture the sound of the old barnhill days.

Come on, someone has to know where Jim is?

We need someone like him, back.   I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the same if he came back today lol

Yeah, but wouldn't it be fun watching him race around BWA in his wheel chair while the band played the William Tell Overture!

Argh, you said someone was "special".  Did your voice suddenly sound used car salesman-y?

Robken is doing well and while he cherishes the UA memories he is more than happy with his life (professional and personal) right now.

He remains a shining star in UA's past. I'm sure there is a Robken protege' that could return the hogwild band to its former level in short order.
