I am so sorry to hear about the loss of John. John and Paul, not Lennon & McCartney, were steady rocking on their respective instruments when I was just learning how to play. What talent!! I'm shocked and saddened for the Grden family. Thoughts and Prayers to the family.

This is very sad news. I knew John for many years and he was a great guy. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry for the loss of John. I was a friend of Paul and John when were in High School. He was a fellow drummer and we would all hang out and play. One day, my mom made everyone grilled cheese sandwitches, but I couldn't eat mine because a honey bee kept hovering over my plate. John cracked everyone up by saying my first solo album needs to be called "Bees and Grilled Cheese.". That was thirty years ago, and I still plan on one day recording an album, and never for one second have i ever considered a different name! Thanks for making me laugh and always putting a smile on my face when I think of this story
