Johnny was my buddy ...maybe my closest pal through my mid-teens. He believed in me & helped usher me into music through our numerous sessions. Every time I play music I think of my great pal & mentor.

My brother John, he was a kind soul to me as a big brother. John would sit with me as a young girl and play Beatle songs and we would harmonize together. Our last conversation was "I love you Johnny, he said I love you Jeff: Such memories and kindness, always remember, you are loved...........

Condolences to Johnny´s family from all of us. Was there any song that he didn´t know all the lyrics to? Such an amazing musician.
