Sorry to hear about the news about Johnnie. The Bolin bros were great musicians who I have been listening too since the 70s. Sure enjoyed their talents which have helped shaped many musicians to this day including myself. Gods speed my friend. Randy

I have known Johnnie since we were in school together about a million years ago. We always had a good time when we hung out. His brother Pudge was my brother's best friend. Tommy even let them record on a reel to reel when he played downtown on Peral St, can't recall the name of the venue. It wasn't half bad for amateurs! Johnnie always had a smile on his face and I never remember him even yelling or mad at anything. RIP my old friend! jw
