a highly sought-after music instructor and has appeared on many television shows over
the years.

I met John back in 2012 when I was working in Nashville on an album project at Gene
Breeden Studios. I was immediately impressed with his professional, yet down-to-earth
personality, as well as his seemingly endless talent in playing just about any instrument
needed. I’ve lost track of just how many different things John could play…expertly!
Currently, you will find him traveling all over the globe with Country Music Hall of Fame
member Ronnie Milsap, providing steel guitar, dobro, and saxophone for the ensemble.

John recently sent me his album "3 Faces.” This album showcases John's many talents,
both as an instrumentalist and a vocalist. He takes the lead-singing duties on "Leap Into
The Storm Of Time," along with some killer steel guitar work. Throughout the album, John
can be heard playing bass, flute, saxophone, acoustic guitar, and of course, steel guitar.
