James Barnes

Hey!!!

My name is James T. Barnes II, but most people call me Gut!

I make tie-dyes using Dharma products. Only Dharma products. The colors are AWESOME!!

I started making tie-dyes as gifts for my kids. Soon my friends were asking me for them. And then everyone wanted them, including the following:

Radio Stations: WKGB and WAAL.

Musicians: John Fogerty, Great White, Foghat, Govt. Mule, Rick Derringer, Johnny Lang, The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies and many more.

Comedians: Howie Mandel, Gallagher.

Businesses: Music City, The Instant Face Place.

My summer home is Jimay's Flea Market in Conklin, NY. When not working on dyes, I live at home and take care of my step-father, who has Alzheimer's disease.

I buy only from Dharma because of their quality. Quality people, quality products, and quality service.

Dharma's dyes are the best. No Question!

So if you're in need of some great dyes, call Dharma and Gut. We aim to please.
