Helping you become the person God wants you to be
These are in No Particular order
The show, as usual, was wonderful and for the first time in the seven years that I’ve known John, I was able to sit in a.front row seat.
John always does beautiful work, but this particular performance was something very special.
I sang along to every song, and I even knew the words to it came upon a midnight clear, which is a challenging song!
I met John on October 13th, 2014, at Sterling’s Upstairs at The Federal in North Hollywood. During the show, he strolled the audience while singing Hey There Lonely Girl, and when he got to where I was, he reached out to hold my hand, and I didn’t go for it.
After the show, I was the first person in line for the meet and greet. We took a picture, and I asked for a hug, to which he said
How can I say no!
He hugged me, and we said goodbye. I honestly thought that meeting John would be a one-time event in my life.
There was a one and a half year period that we did not see each other due to a lack of accessibility at a new venue, but I’m grateful to once again be in his audience again.
To date, I’ve seen John over 40 times in Los Angeles alone. Each time I see him, not only am I elated fan, but I feel like I’m a student ready to learn something new.
I would love for the tables to turn someday and have him see me perform.
John was excellent tonight! There wasn’t a meet and greet like there used to be, but those of us who were at the show were able to stay for the Encore interview; tonight was special because the interview was with John and his entire band.
It was interesting to learn how each member of the band, including John, got their start.
Even though I did not get my question answered directly, John did answer the question that I had hoped would be included in the interview. I asked: What is your favorite vocal warm-up?
I learned that some performers have voices so conditioned by their work that your voice placement just zits well.
I have berm singing since the age of seven, and I still feel like I have the voice of a rookie
