"I don't compliment many singers, having been spoiled with the likes of recording for people like Ray Charles, Bobby Darin, Sam Cooke, Righteous Brothers, Joe Cocker, Barbra Streisand...but was very impressed with John, his ideas, his complete professionalism and the way he sings. Takes a lot to knock me out, but he did - it was fun to record for him. He should do well with his fine recordings". - Carol Kaye
John, Thanks for coming to my open mic at the Gallery of Performing Arts. I really liked your songs and hope you can come again on April 19th. I'll also stop by and play one of your open mics at the Gypsy Den.
John, Thanks for the Add. Glad to see you, it's been a while. For such a small world it sure is a big county. I'll try to make out to a "mic" soon. John Joseph
Thanks for coming down and being a regular performer. I'm obviously no Bob Barker, but just try to keep the music flowing. And nice job on Act Naturally last night. It was almost as good as Gonzo's version on the Muppet Show. (See funny vid on my space.)
just stopped by to say thank you for being there hosting the open mics, you are a savior, yet, i haven..t played in a mad minute. im trying to get my shit together and i have my bullshit on myspace, wah wah... but thanks again.
