      That's Lisa Germano on violin! The last time she played with John was Dance Naked! She's on the album but not the tour although she did appear with him 1995 at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame when they opened up that tour. Ever since she left playing with John Mellencamp, she started a solo career making great albums with great songs which you can listen to her singing with violin I think guitar but I don't know about that (if she plays guitar). Because you like her violin playing, I suggest you check out her solo albums and tunes!!!!!!🎻🎻🎻👍👍👍

Someone asked me why we were leaving & I told her. 1 month later John sent something to me. Its on my youtube page. He's the kindest man ever. It'll always remain a mystery to me how he know who I was.

We had ketchup/spam spaghetti and butter sauce with brown noodles. Dog hair was everywhere and our dog died a year earlier. Miss those days.

    Little did we know my boss from Chevrolet showed up with his family. His family came to see us skate. The owner had
    a buffet and the works. Everyone was having a KILLER time!!! and BLOWING UP the skate floor!!!! Later he had a skate
    contest with Christmas music as the theme!!!! The DJ played Christmas for everyone competing!!! My Friend's team the
    Knight Riders skated to Step into Christmas by Elton John and ROCKED the rink!!! I went up to the DJ booth and requested
    this song. The DJ said to me, " I know what is COMING"!!!! My Boss and his family competed and were Impressive!! The
    Captain of the Knight Riders came up to us and said, " Think YOU GUYS can BEAT us"!!! Then the DJ played this song and
    My girls and I LOST our MINDS!!! and went Into a RAGE!!!!!! I said "TOMCAT on 3"!!! 1,2,3, "TOMCAT"!! we all went out on the
    floor and I SCREAMED "DETONATE"!!!! Then we "DESTROYED"!!! the skate floor!!! Everyone was SCREAMING and FREAKING
    OUT!!!! "ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE"!!!! We used the "AERIAL WARS", " the "CANNON"!! and the "TOMCAT"!!!! I then SCREAMED
    "LEVEL the BUILDING"!!! "NO PRISONER"!!! WE proceeded bringing Roller World to it's KNEES!!!! When we got done the OWNER
    said, " That was one HELL of a Christmas PRESENT"!!! My Boss and his family had tears in his eyes and told me, " I taped you
    and your team DESTROY!!! this rink!!! The Owner taped us as well!!! The Owner told the Knight Riders, "The SUPERBIRDS" would
    make short work of you or any other team here!!!! The Owner then gave all the skate teams Custom Rink Jackets as Christmas
    gifts!! My Boss gave me and my team Custom Jackets of my Race Cube!!! I gave him and His Family Custom Jackets of our skate
