Please check back on this site for new & exclusive commentary from Barry "The Fish" Melton, Peter Albin, Steve Keyser and many more musicians that worked with John.
"Stay focused is all I can say. If you really stay focused, you can do it. Be prepared and know your trade inside and out. Know music. If you're going to rehearse with somebody, act like you're interested. So many kids don't stay focused. Get high on music. "
