Hey john, i met you several years ago in chicopee,ma. at a very small venue at "Septembers bar"..it was an awesome show. You signed one of your old albums for me, as well as my old yamaha acoustic guitar.Thank you. My father introduced me to your music as a child...im 35 now. its just great stuff. real music
Jonathan, we miss you in Lowell MA when you used to play at those small outside mini shows. I think you may have been booked to play in one of Lowell's first Folk Festival, you came many times to Lowell.
met him once one on one. He was cruising the coast on his Novi lobster yacht pulling in for gigs. i was on the boat in the next slip, working and heard guitar riffs and bits of singing. i was thinking.. mmm that guy in that boat is pretty good. He came out and we chatted for 10 minutes about boat stuff, like you do. i said ..well i gotta get back to work and he said yeah i gotta get ready for work. when a guy showed up on the dock a few minutes later(his driver i guess) he came out with his guitar and i said nice chatting with you and introduced myself. Then he did. It only dawned on me then. Just a regular, nice guy.
To this day still one of my most played folk artists. While I love his sound and his harmonica playing, I always wished he played more songs that leave alcohol and drugs out of the mix, something like the following (forgive the inclusion of Train of Glory - I wanted to include at least one tune which displays his harmonica virtuosity): Give Us A Song It's A Beautiful Day Dream Song Paper Doll Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy That's What Our Life Is Sunshine Don't Cry Blue Train of Glory Have Yourself A Good Time For Me My Home Ain't In The Hall Of Fame
Have loved this musician since the late 70’s. Still do. Glad he seems well.
