John has always, as far back as he can remember, wanted to play the guitar. When ’The Beatles’ first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, the music bug really bit him hard.
He got his first guitar then and for at least two years struggled to learn how to play the thing. With no lessons he finally learned enough chords to play some songs and started a band called ’The Poor Boys’ with some of his school friends. They played popular songs of the time 1966-1967 era.
He then formed a band called ’The Madd’ with guys from different towns than where John hailed from. The band broke up and John joined the Air Force and was stationed on Okinawa, Japan.
While on Okinawa he was asked to join a new band called SMD. The band played for 2 1/2 years and was voted the top American band on the whole island.
He was sent back to the United States to Denver, Colorado for his last two years of a six year hitch in the service. While in Denver he got with some local musicians but nothing happened.
He was then discharged and came back home to Carrollton, Missouri where he joined the band ’Interstate’. While in the band, which John played bass guitar, they recoreded a 45 record, which received a fair amount of air-play on some local radio stations. The band also played as opening band for the bands ’Missouri’ and ’Morningstar’. After two or three years the band broke up and everyone went their separate ways.
John then teamed up with some other guys, including Dave Skahan of ’The J-Street Band’, and formed a band called ’Gunsmoke’ and later formed ’Showdown’. John quit ’Showdown’ in about 1989 and wanted to focus on writing and recording his own songs.
John started recording his songs on "not very good recording equipment". Some of his songs weren’t too bad, but he just couldn’t produce them to sound good.
He did this for probably 15 years or so and got a digital multi-track recorder, that made all the difference in the world in the way songs sounded.
He finally got brave enough to let some of his friends hear them and they liked them, so here they are, out in cyber-space for more people to hear and hopefully like and comment on to him.
John plays all instruments, records, engineers, produces, mixes and masters all of his songs himself. He doesn’t really know how to catagorize his music. It’s rock, blues, jazz and jazz-fusion.
Finally, John is working with David Johnson from ’The J-Street Band’ writing lyrics to some of his songs.
