A fleet-footed songwriter that lets the songs write themselves, his ideas clank around in his soul and when the time is right they spill on out. Sometimes that takes a half hour and sometimes its half a decade. Either way songwriting is as much a part of me as taking a breath. Musically the song presents itself in whatever genre it wants. Most of them live in the acoustic-country rock-blues universe. A lot depends on what the “lick” the song is based on calls for. Lyrically John likes a turn of phrase that can have a multiple meaning depending on the frame of mind. John is averse to taking topics head-on instead he strives to leave plenty of room for the listener to find their own way through the words.
