  James VI
James VI of Scotland, and I. of England, was born in the castle of Edinburgh, June 19, 1566.
James, in reality, during the whole of his occupancy of the Scottish throne, was a mere tool in the hands of one party or another; and had no personal influence or independence whatever till the advanced age of Elizabeth gave him near hopes of the English crown.
James wrote a treatise of counsel for his son, under the title of "Basilicon Doron," which, though containing some passages offensive to the clergy, is a work of much good sense, and conveys, upon the whole, a respectable impression, at once of the author’s abilities, and of his moral temperament.

 Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival - Artists
JAMES KING: Bluegrass lead singing is a delicate balance.
A singer must have the forcefulness and intensity to cut through the multiple instrumental layers of a bluegrass band, while still maintaining a tender enough lilt to convey emotion and mesh with the instruments and supportive vocalists.
When you consider his mastery of this balance, the high quality of the songs he sings, his top-notch backing band, and his sheer soulfulness, it becomes clear that James King is simply the best lead singer in bluegrass today.

 Probe V4N2: James Earl Ray's Hospitalization
The weekend before Christmas, James Earl Ray, the convicted, yet disputed, assassin of Martin Luther King, was transferred from the Riverbend State Prison in Nashville, Tenn. to the Columbia Nashville Memorial Hospital.
Lawson has been vocal in his defense of Ray over the years, claiming Ray could not have been a lone assassin, if an assassin at all.
Let me tell you, anybody out there believes James did do it and going to give a death-bed confession, I hope they don’t hold their breath because if he wanted to confess to something he didn’t do, they offered to turn him loose in 1968 [presumably 1978].

 Bruce Lawson’s personal site  : Shakespeare’s "Sir Thomas More"
His Macbeth (one of my very favourite Shakespeare plays) was the first play Shakespeare wrote for King James I (James VI of Scotland), and curries the new King’s favour by being very short (James was renowned for having a short attention span).
However, James had written a book about the divine right of kings (in which regicide is considered deicide) and believed that he was a descendent of Banquo - thus the Shakespearian Banquo is a blameless hero.
The handwriting of the said passage is remarkably similar to that of William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby who has been proposed as the actual author of Shakespeare’s plays.
