Other Friends
Lane
Baldwin
A bass playing buddy, and the guy who put this site together for me
and maintains it. Also the guy who got me hooked up with Eden.
Erkan
Ozdemir
Bassist and multi-insturmentalist from Germany. Also the first one
to contact Johnny through the new web site. Yo, Erkan!
Mark
Opsasnick
Mark is a DC native and a good friend. Of his many books, Capitol Rock
is his best known. Mark wrote this informative book on the first 25 years
of D.C. Rock Music. Not known as a music town like San Francisco, Seattle,
Austin, etc., the DC area has a rich and star-studded musical history
that will surprise you as much as it did me, and I've been here almost
40 years. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
Johnny is proud
to endorse and use Eden
amplifiers and speakers exlusively. Period.
