John's music is a comfort in my life - a 'friend' I turn to for music that inspires me, soothes my soul, makes me think outside my comfort zone, dance like no one is watching, sing like I'm a performer and lift my spirits. Having heard him speak of his love and passion for his art, John's paintings have grown on me over the years and many pieces of art and art exhibits I have had the opportunity to view. It is so interesting to look at the different media he uses and the not-so-hidden message you find when you examine them.

I'm from a small town and John's music and values represent mine. His music is like a warm hug to me.
I have loved his music since 1982. Feel good music.. I've been to 2 of his concerts and have tickets to one next year!!!
John has always done a great job of conveying what it's like to be an American in the midwest, whether that's positive or negative. He has the ability to create songs that speak to his listeners.
As a kid, I just liked the music and his voice, and the fact he was one of our own around here, but now I appreciate all the lyrics in his songs even more so. He is a great, natural-born storyteller. I don't know any other catchy "little diddy" songs quite like his.

To me John's music is.. Anybody can make it anywhere with hard work and determination. Doesn't matter where you come from.
Beautiful & heartfelt American song writing. And put it all into words. Check it out
