To the Green Family--My deepest sympathy for the loss of John. I loved every minute that I spent with him-teaching him guitar, playing, listening to him sing and tell great stories. He was a great friend, and I am saddened to hear of his passing. I am forever happy to have known John.

John's memory will be held in my heart for as long as I live. He was truly a great friend and an incredible fellow musician. He played his harmonica from the heart and that's what set him apart. My deepest condolences to the Green family.
