Hey Jon,
My sis broke out her classic BISON album back in the Fr. Smith B.I. days. Maryann Hughes. Classic haha:)
Pilar - Monday, June 7th, 2010 11:41 AM
Hi Jon - great site. After your gushing recommendation, I bought the Book of Love. It is fantastic. I am not someone who will read a book more than once, but this is one that I will read again and again. Any other recommendations?
Nancy Nutile-McMenemy - Monday, May 10th, 2010 4:06 PM
Great show last night with Peter Wolf at the Tupelo Music Hall, Londonderry NH
I've posted a few photos on my website

Steve Wilson - Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 10:43 AM
Jon,
I have a copy of the 1971 BIson's album that was given to me in 1971 by my long lost friend, Cindy Herman who also played in the group. Do you know any current information about her? I sure would like to see how she is. Keep up the great music going.

I caught your show last year at the Athenaeum in Old Town. You hadn't really changed at all since the last time I saw you play,in 73 or 74 I think, with Mike Cotter in Fredricksburg. My wife and I caught your Barns show in March. What fun. I hope to catch your show next week.Best wishes, Richard
Sarah Spratt - Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 7:46 PM
too cool! way to go! am trying to catch a show for sure.. :-))

Bill Bradford - Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 11:30 PM
Hello Jon
You may remember me from the ride you took with Marty and gang to Daytona quite a few years ago, and when Marty, myself and Andrew stopped by your house in Leesburg. Anyhow, I finally tracked down your site and Linked In - I am impressed with all your work and credits. Looking forwrad to seeing you live this year!
Best, Bill
Peggy D Bruce - Monday, February 22nd, 2010 12:49 PM
Thanks for a wonderful show @ In Your Ear for JAM, Inc., in Richmond! HOpe to hear you again soon...
Dino Delray - Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 12:18 PM
I just played The Bisons on my radio show and wondered if the Jon Carroll on that was the same as Starland Vocal Band. The answer is yes. If you have music email me for address. Dino Delray
Greg Goldsmith - Thursday, February 4th, 2010 9:37 PM
Long time no see, but then again I've not
worked at Wolf Trap since 2006. I'll hope
to make it to the Barns in March.
Hope all is well w/you and Ben

Karin Scott - Saturday, December 12th, 2009 7:52 PM
Loved the Jingle Jam!
Denise - Friday, November 6th, 2009 1:11 PM
Jon, been listening to your version of "A Case of You" on the CD tribute to Joni...I really think you felt that song in your heart...and that's what it takes to sing Joni's song (great job!). I had to look you up because I knew there was another connection other than the Woodstock Celebration at the Strathmore. Now we go back to Cellar Door Productions, when you played with Bill & Taffy, memories.... At that time I was listening to Joni sing "A Case of You" and the rest of her songs "Blue" album...and all those tunes ran through my heart. Its nice to reconnect with the past.
Kathy Buenaventura (KB) - Friday, August 14th, 2009 12:18 AM
Hi Jon! Saw you tonight at the Woodstock tribute at Strathmore! What a wonderful performer and musician you are.Those days with the BISons really paid off. Congratulations on your success. Still remember "Peanut Butter and Jelly"! All the best. KB from St. Mary's
Wayne Greene - Friday, August 7th, 2009 8:31 AM
G'day Jon, Wayne from Sydney Australia. Loved you at Wolftrap with Mary Chapin. Just wondering was that show a one off or were there more over different nights? Its still my favorite DVD. Are you still in contact with Mary ? Regards, Wayne in Australia
AS I RECALL, THAT WAS EDITED FROM A 2-NIGHT ENGAGEMENT'S WORTH OF PERFORMANCES.

Joyce-Marie Morrin/WRRW Williamsburg, Va. - Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 4:34 PM
Truly a treat to get to hear you at the Outa The Way Cafe with S/S T. Edwin Doss. You are so right when you stated he is a clever and prolific songwriter. What you bring musically and creatively to his songs gives a special finesse and spirit that I now know only you could deliver. Jon you are quite the artist and I am happy to have meet you Tuesday night! Come join the station and share your music, we'd love to host you here in Coastal Virginia at WRRW "Revolutionary Radio Williamsburg"!
Bruce Milam - Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 1:21 PM
I met you the first time when you were a BI cheerleader and I was dating a friend of yours, Pam Hogue. You and I used to talk between your sets playing the piano during Happy Hour at Quincy's of Arlington. I've followed your career closely. Do you have any plans to play Richmond, VA anytime soon? I don't get out much anymore!
Bob Ferrante - Sunday, June 21st, 2009 11:27 AM
Hi Jon,
You probably don't remember me but I was a CUA on first floor spaulding hall when you were plying around on campus. Just ran across your web site and you are better than ever. You made my day. keep on making beautiful music.
John Frye - Friday, June 19th, 2009 3:25 PM
Saw you at Arnone's Crawfish Fest this past month and was proud to see a local musician getting some exposure sitting in with a hot national act (Eric Lindell). Great gig, all the best.
Mike Beard - Monday, April 6th, 2009 3:49 PM
fellow SAG bay crabber; friend of Harry Nilsson
Lynn Theismann - Friday, March 20th, 2009 2:13 PM
Jon -
Had lunch with David - of course we ended up on the arts....I have some lovely shots of you. Would love to hear your new music...or listen in at David's studio again soon.
Katrina Cole - Thursday, March 12th, 2009 9:43 PM
Jon, it was so good to see you at the coffee shop today! I so enjoy your music and look forward to the concert. It was good to hear that Ben is doing so well.
Dolly Stevens - Monday, March 9th, 2009 10:27 PM
Hi Jon,
Do you believe in 6 degrees of separation? I've known of your existence so to speak, but only recently realized we crossed paths back at GTE Telenet in Tysons Corner...sometime between the fall of '81 and the fall of '83. Leslie Guttenburg was a mutual friend. I also think she gave you one of my Harry Chapin albums in exchange for John Dawson Read's album, "A Friend of Mine is Going Blind". I never got Harry back, and yes- I've still got JDR. Does any of this ring a bell? You were a temp at Telenet I think. Maybe. I might have that wrong. But I pieced it together when I made the SVB connection and the "Get Closer" song for LR, which as I remember was a deal that happened around that time. Anyway, I'm probably whistling in the wind here, but thought I'd send a shout out. Would like to catch your act Saturday night. Will try my best. --Dolly Stevens (same name as then)
Barb Radcliffe - Monday, February 16th, 2009 6:38 PM

Susanne Parsons Fyffe - Friday, December 5th, 2008 4:10 PM
Hey Jon,
i was a St. Mary's girl who saw you do a little "Afternoon Delight". I have 2 girls at BI now, time has flown by. Congratulations on your great music! We may venture out Saturday night...
Sue
~Barb - Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 2:19 PM
Hey Jon, Driving through rural Loudoun County on Thanksgiving Day, I could see where you got the inspiration for "On The Front Porch". Makes a nice image as I listen to the song!
Cindy - Friday, November 21st, 2008 9:26 AM
Love the pictures of your parents and Marty and Susie.
Denise Couch - Friday, September 5th, 2008 4:53 PM
Been a fan for years.......... since I was 12 LOL when you sang with StarLand Vocal Band......
Victoria Vanderbilt - Thursday, August 21st, 2008 1:59 PM
Congratulations on getting Tony Rice to sing PONY, after so many years of vocal silence.
Your musicianship on the tune was incredable as well.
Kindest Regards,V.V
~Barb - Sunday, August 17th, 2008 12:54 PM
Hi Jon,
Yesterday I received my tickets to your show at The Barns at Wolf Trap. Can't wait for October 18th!!! See ya then!
DAVE KING - Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 10:37 AM
GREAT MEETING YOU AT FAIRVIEW. DEB (DICKERSON) IS STILL TALKING ABOUT SEEING YOU AGAIN AND PLANS ON GOING TO WOLFTRAP. I ALSO HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE WOLFTRAP.
THANKS AGAIN. DAVE KING
Mary (Carrigg) Spencer - Monday, August 4th, 2008 1:40 PM
Doubt that you recognize the name, but I'm a St. Mary's alum, the same years you were at BI. Went to St. Mike's as well with Mike Cotter. I recall you both playing in the lot behind SMA - great music then! I also recall you opening for George Carlin at Kennedy Center. Congratulations on all of your success - I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Barns in Oct.
Steve - Friday, July 25th, 2008 11:17 PM
It's late and I can't say enough how super the show was last night at Bangkok Blues. Easy going, laid back, slowly heating up the music from a low simmer to a roiling boil. It was great. Loved the humor, especially the story of the Karaoke Tent at the Minnesota State Fair (my folk's home state), where you puzzled the "small town sheriffs", who couldn't quite figure out what you were doing, with your version of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in "duck voice", while your band mates fell out howling with laughter. Thanks for your double encore. Hope you will continue at Bangkok Blues or a nearby venue. God bless you and the band for a fun and enjoyable night.
Tim & Annette - Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 10:32 AM
Just to add a few more well deserved congrats & heartfelt tributes.....we love you...come on by....any time....we're always here.
Willy Catt - Friday, June 6th, 2008 12:49 PM
My my hey hey!
With that sweet voice and inspired lyrics you rock it up and down the street!
jimbo - Monday, May 12th, 2008 11:45 AM
I was at BI when you were a senior. I remember playing drums, while you play on the piano(upstairs in the band room--Mr. Whaley). Some school came to BI and played a concert and you jammed with them afterwards... Do you still play the tuba? Good luck!
dena abrams - Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 11:12 PM
Hi Jon-
Your CD sounds awesome!! Thanks you so much for being a part of my project-- you are the best!-- DENA-

Jim O'Reilly - Monday, March 10th, 2008 1:52 PM
Jon,congratulations on all the awards. Great to see you're doing great.
- an oldie from your early 70s past (think basement of Manny Diez's house, Tom Moak, Regina Portela, "Spongy" and other assorted BI folks and hangers-on)
Scott Negley - Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 11:49 PM
Hi John
Remember the summmer in Fenwick Island - too long ago to remember. We were all just kids and you met my sister on the beach... You stayed at our beach house with a couple of your buddies. I still remember you belting out those Arlo Guthrie songs! I hope the years have been good to you. Take care.
Scott
Stuart - Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 10:03 PM
Hi Jon,
It was a thrill listening to you and Ben at the Robertson's House Concert. It was well worth driving 350 miles round trip to hear the two of you performing as individuals and harmonizing together. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Stuart
BARB ROBERTS (SMALLTALK-DC) - Monday, February 25th, 2008 2:51 PM
HI JON-
JUST HAPPENED UPON YOUR SIGHT- SO GLAD TO KNOW YOU ARE STILL MAKING MUSIC-BEST OF LUCK TO YA!
SINCERELY,
BARB
Pam - Friday, February 15th, 2008 8:24 PM
Ok, I have been a fan of yours for YEARS...am I the only one who remembers your Artful Dodger in BI's "Oliver" (my brother was in your class i think and my sister in the Chorus of Oliver)? I was at the taping of the SVB concert at Georgetown U(?)or somewhere around there back in the 80s, now my 15 yr. old listens to Afternoon Delight which he discovered on his own (even though I have the album)...I also heard you harmonizing with one of my favorite folksters, John McCutcheon. I live near B'more/DC and hope to hear your new tunes soon!
mp3santa.com - Friday, February 15th, 2008 10:25 AM
Very good pictures in the gallery!
J.P. - Thursday, February 14th, 2008 10:51 PM
Jon, Eva and I saw you with Last Train Home Sunday 2-10-08. Had a great time. Laughed out loud. Really enjoyed your playing. Thanks. J.P.
Ruth - Sunday, January 20th, 2008 8:49 AM
Jon, thought of you when I saw a photo of a real peach of a water tower. Went to this site (like it, especially the pix!) to get your email address to send a link to you. Since I'm here, I might as well write something! Enjoyed your contributions (many contributions - guess when you're good, everyone wants you to play with them!) at Strathmore. I'm no longer Mikey's boss (just retired - yipee!) but hope to see you around some time for that fine music.
Chuck Goings - Thursday, November 1st, 2007 4:14 AM
Hey JON, I'm halfway stupid, it three am at the jail and I just put an "H" in your name....duh
Chuck Goings - Thursday, November 1st, 2007 4:12 AM
Hey John, Long way since the 70's, pal. Im about ready to hang up my guns. Retiring on 12/13. Got a gig as "the King" at Medieval Times. Maybe I'll see you at Billy's the next time Im home.
Tim Sheehy - Thursday, October 11th, 2007 5:35 PM
Love the pictures of Pat and Eddie and the picture of you,Marty and Susie.
Johnny Faith - Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 4:48 PM
Jon,
I doubt you remember me, or my name, but I was working with a lot of the same crowd you were, about a decade+ ago- John Sprung, Stuart Smith (he so deserves the Eagle
gig!), to mention a few. Billy Coulter and I correspond on occasion and he sent me the link. Thought I'd run a parasitical routine and refer a few to my outdated web-page on. Go to mp3site on the washingtonpost site. Search Johnny Faith. Download a few tunes.
Jon- Good luck in all you pursue, you are a talented guy.
Johnny Faith
SteveT - Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 12:06 AM
Where are you? Why aren't you touring? And why aren't you in the jumpseat of my tourbus John?
Barbara Falkenstine - Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 5:07 PM
heard you and Ben on Saturday in Leesburg and did not buy your cd, should have. really enjoyed the music. Is there anywhere locally to buy your new cd?
Justin Taylor - Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 4:10 PM
So glad to see one of the most gifted musician's I've ever know still at his craft. I still tell stories of how you wowed Garwood Whaley and the rest of us on a daily basis. From "Cotter & Carroll" the "SVB" and now the world ... my best to your continued success!
Justin Taylor

I just happened to find your web page
and am thrilled. Looking forward to hearing your music!
cathy conn - Friday, June 15th, 2007 2:03 AM
You are my favorite male vocalist and I am so grateful for the new record. Thank you.
Andi Harkness - Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 5:07 PM
Cannot believe I missed you in January at the Barns! Hope you play locally sometime soon again. Ordered your new CD.
marguerite - Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 10:11 AM
since everyone else used this forum to take a stroll down memory lane, I will too. remember the serenades outside of my french class at St. Mary's?
Cathy Vita - Friday, February 23rd, 2007 12:52 PM
Met you at Westbury 2 yrs ago..you are so very talented....Im a big fan of MCC......we'll be at count basie and mccarter theatres and so excited about the calling....!
Michael A. Fragala - Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 6:40 PM
Hey Jon,
Haven't seen or talked to you in a long time. Glad to see all is well and you are still writing and performing. Love to see you sometime when I get to DC again. We had some good times at BI....
Peace,
Mike
Bob Grimes - Saturday, January 13th, 2007 4:05 PM

Cathi "Spitler" Sullivan - Friday, January 12th, 2007 12:05 PM
I have wondered for years what ever happened to my childhood playmate, once you moved away from good old Butler Rd. I still remember the talent show you were in at Gayle. Man how time goes by. The article Mike Zitz did on you was great. Everytime I hear afternoon delight,I think of you with fond memories.
Debbie Gibson Sauder - Thursday, January 11th, 2007 1:54 PM
I saw the article Mike Zitz did on you and thought I'd say Hi! Don't know if you remember me. We went to elementary school together! My first love!!!!

julia - Tuesday, December 5th, 2006 9:52 AM
jon, that is such a cool intro!! i love it! what a great idea! that should sell you lots of records, i think!
Karen - Sunday, November 26th, 2006 10:14 PM
I just purchased someone named Chris's old CD Jazz collection. In it was an early release of your CD called Home & Away, it was autographed by uou. I fell in love with the music and in an attempt to find out more about you and the CD I came accross your web site. I will be ordering the newer version of the CD for some of my fiends for Christmas gifts this year. I feel stupid that I didn't connect with your music earlier in my life, but going to school, working and raising two children kids took precident. Thanks for creating such beautiful and soulful music, Karen
Piperh Pierson - Sunday, November 26th, 2006 11:05 AM

Richard Weil - Monday, November 13th, 2006 12:38 PM
Hello Jon. Think we met (briefly) at Catholic University about 34 years ago and played guitar together in the stairwell of Spalding Hall.
Have lived in Takoma Park now about 28 years and have hosted house concerts the past six with local, national and international musicians. They have included several Azalea City musicians as well as bluegrass/Randy Barret, Orrin Star, Jimmy Gaudreau, Tom Gray, folk/Timm Harrison, Edie Carey, Karen Mal, Lisa Moscitello and Fred Lieder.
Take care and we're certainly intersted in hosting you if that works with your interest/ schedule next year.
Richard Weil
Ruth - Sunday, November 12th, 2006 11:31 AM
Hi Jon. Don't know if you remember me, but I'm Mike Cotter's boss at the Mint, and I met you briefly outside my building (think lighthouses, watertowers, etc.) plus at Starland when you played with Mike and Georgia. Anyway, am making a CD of local artists, and went here to find some info on YOU! -Ruth Rosenthal
Tracie Jones - Friday, November 10th, 2006 6:53 PM

I can't wait for the show the whole clan will be there!!
Seeing you will be a great B-day present (remember I share Ben's b-day)

Fran Reynolds - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 8:05 PM

Congrats!
Mark Bruininga - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 12:21 AM

I met you the first time when you were a BI cheerleader and I was dating a friend of yours, Pam Hogue. You and I used to talk between your sets playing the piano during Happy Hour at Quincy's of Arlington. I've followed your career closely. Do you have any plans to play Richmond, VA anytime soon? I don't get out much anymore!
Bob Ferrante - Sunday, June 21st, 2009 11:27 AM
Hi Jon,
You probably don't remember me but I was a CUA on first floor spaulding hall when you were plying around on campus. Just ran across your web site and you are better than ever. You made my day. keep on making beautiful music.
John Frye - Friday, June 19th, 2009 3:25 PM
Saw you at Arnone's Crawfish Fest this past month and was proud to see a local musician getting some exposure sitting in with a hot national act (Eric Lindell). Great gig, all the best.

Jon -
Had lunch with David - of course we ended up on the arts....I have some lovely shots of you. Would love to hear your new music...or listen in at David's studio again soon.
Katrina Cole - Thursday, March 12th, 2009 9:43 PM
Jon, it was so good to see you at the coffee shop today! I so enjoy your music and look forward to the concert. It was good to hear that Ben is doing so well.
Dolly Stevens - Monday, March 9th, 2009 10:27 PM
Hi Jon,
Do you believe in 6 degrees of separation? I've known of your existence so to speak, but only recently realized we crossed paths back at GTE Telenet in Tysons Corner...sometime between the fall of '81 and the fall of '83. Leslie Guttenburg was a mutual friend. I also think she gave you one of my Harry Chapin albums in exchange for John Dawson Read's album, "A Friend of Mine is Going Blind". I never got Harry back, and yes- I've still got JDR. Does any of this ring a bell? You were a temp at Telenet I think. Maybe. I might have that wrong. But I pieced it together when I made the SVB connection and the "Get Closer" song for LR, which as I remember was a deal that happened around that time. Anyway, I'm probably whistling in the wind here, but thought I'd send a shout out. Would like to catch your act Saturday night. Will try my best. --Dolly Stevens (same name as then)

Hey Jon, Driving through rural Loudoun County on Thanksgiving Day, I could see where you got the inspiration for "On The Front Porch". Makes a nice image as I listen to the song!
Cindy - Friday, November 21st, 2008 9:26 AM
Love the pictures of your parents and Marty and Susie.
Denise Couch - Friday, September 5th, 2008 4:53 PM
Been a fan for years.......... since I was 12 LOL when you sang with StarLand Vocal Band......
Victoria Vanderbilt - Thursday, August 21st, 2008 1:59 PM
Congratulations on getting Tony Rice to sing PONY, after so many years of vocal silence.
Your musicianship on the tune was incredable as well.
Kindest Regards,V.V

Hi Jon,
Yesterday I received my tickets to your show at The Barns at Wolf Trap. Can't wait for October 18th!!! See ya then!
DAVE KING - Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 10:37 AM
GREAT MEETING YOU AT FAIRVIEW. DEB (DICKERSON) IS STILL TALKING ABOUT SEEING YOU AGAIN AND PLANS ON GOING TO WOLFTRAP. I ALSO HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE WOLFTRAP.
THANKS AGAIN. DAVE KING
Mary (Carrigg) Spencer - Monday, August 4th, 2008 1:40 PM
Doubt that you recognize the name, but I'm a St. Mary's alum, the same years you were at BI. Went to St. Mike's as well with Mike Cotter. I recall you both playing in the lot behind SMA - great music then! I also recall you opening for George Carlin at Kennedy Center. Congratulations on all of your success - I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Barns in Oct.
Steve - Friday, July 25th, 2008 11:17 PM
It's late and I can't say enough how super the show was last night at Bangkok Blues. Easy going, laid back, slowly heating up the music from a low simmer to a roiling boil. It was great. Loved the humor, especially the story of the Karaoke Tent at the Minnesota State Fair (my folk's home state), where you puzzled the "small town sheriffs", who couldn't quite figure out what you were doing, with your version of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" in "duck voice", while your band mates fell out howling with laughter. Thanks for your double encore. Hope you will continue at Bangkok Blues or a nearby venue. God bless you and the band for a fun and enjoyable night.
Tim & Annette - Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 10:32 AM
Just to add a few more well deserved congrats & heartfelt tributes.....we love you...come on by....any time....we're always here.
Willy Catt - Friday, June 6th, 2008 12:49 PM
My my hey hey!
With that sweet voice and inspired lyrics you rock it up and down the street!
jimbo - Monday, May 12th, 2008 11:45 AM
I was at BI when you were a senior. I remember playing drums, while you play on the piano(upstairs in the band room--Mr. Whaley). Some school came to BI and played a concert and you jammed with them afterwards... Do you still play the tuba? Good luck!
dena abrams - Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 11:12 PM
Hi Jon-
Your CD sounds awesome!! Thanks you so much for being a part of my project-- you are the best!-- DENA-

Jon,congratulations on all the awards. Great to see you're doing great.

Scott Negley - Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 11:49 PM
Hi John
Remember the summmer in Fenwick Island - too long ago to remember. We were all just kids and you met my sister on the beach... You stayed at our beach house with a couple of your buddies. I still remember you belting out those Arlo Guthrie songs! I hope the years have been good to you. Take care.
Scott
Stuart - Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 10:03 PM
Hi Jon,
It was a thrill listening to you and Ben at the Robertson's House Concert. It was well worth driving 350 miles round trip to hear the two of you performing as individuals and harmonizing together. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Stuart
BARB ROBERTS (SMALLTALK-DC) - Monday, February 25th, 2008 2:51 PM
HI JON-
JUST HAPPENED UPON YOUR SIGHT- SO GLAD TO KNOW YOU ARE STILL MAKING MUSIC-BEST OF LUCK TO YA!
SINCERELY,
BARB
Pam - Friday, February 15th, 2008 8:24 PM
Ok, I have been a fan of yours for YEARS...am I the only one who remembers your Artful Dodger in BI's "Oliver" (my brother was in your class i think and my sister in the Chorus of Oliver)? I was at the taping of the SVB concert at Georgetown U(?)or somewhere around there back in the 80s, now my 15 yr. old listens to Afternoon Delight which he discovered on his own (even though I have the album)...I also heard you harmonizing with one of my favorite folksters, John McCutcheon. I live near B'more/DC and hope to hear your new tunes soon!
mp3santa.com - Friday, February 15th, 2008 10:25 AM
Very good pictures in the gallery!
J.P. - Thursday, February 14th, 2008 10:51 PM
Jon, Eva and I saw you with Last Train Home Sunday 2-10-08. Had a great time. Laughed out loud. Really enjoyed your playing. Thanks. J.P.
Ruth - Sunday, January 20th, 2008 8:49 AM
Jon, thought of you when I saw a photo of a real peach of a water tower. Went to this site (like it, especially the pix!) to get your email address to send a link to you. Since I'm here, I might as well write something! Enjoyed your contributions (many contributions - guess when you're good, everyone wants you to play with them!) at Strathmore. I'm no longer Mikey's boss (just retired - yipee!) but hope to see you around some time for that fine music.
Chuck Goings - Thursday, November 1st, 2007 4:14 AM
Hey JON, I'm halfway stupid, it three am at the jail and I just put an "H" in your name....duh
Chuck Goings - Thursday, November 1st, 2007 4:12 AM
Hey John, Long way since the 70's, pal. Im about ready to hang up my guns. Retiring on 12/13. Got a gig as "the King" at Medieval Times. Maybe I'll see you at Billy's the next time Im home.
Tim Sheehy - Thursday, October 11th, 2007 5:35 PM
Love the pictures of Pat and Eddie and the picture of you,Marty and Susie.
Johnny Faith - Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 4:48 PM
Jon,
I doubt you remember me, or my name, but I was working with a lot of the same crowd you were, about a decade+ ago- John Sprung, Stuart Smith (he so deserves the Eagle
gig!), to mention a few. Billy Coulter and I correspond on occasion and he sent me the link. Thought I'd run a parasitical routine and refer a few to my outdated web-page on. Go to mp3site on the washingtonpost site. Search Johnny Faith. Download a few tunes.
Jon- Good luck in all you pursue, you are a talented guy.
Johnny Faith
SteveT - Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 12:06 AM
Where are you? Why aren't you touring? And why aren't you in the jumpseat of my tourbus John?
Barbara Falkenstine - Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 5:07 PM
heard you and Ben on Saturday in Leesburg and did not buy your cd, should have. really enjoyed the music. Is there anywhere locally to buy your new cd?
Justin Taylor - Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 4:10 PM
So glad to see one of the most gifted musician's I've ever know still at his craft. I still tell stories of how you wowed Garwood Whaley and the rest of us on a daily basis. From "Cotter & Carroll" the "SVB" and now the world ... my best to your continued success!

Cannot believe I missed you in January at the Barns! Hope you play locally sometime soon again. Ordered your new CD.
marguerite - Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 10:11 AM
since everyone else used this forum to take a stroll down memory lane, I will too. remember the serenades outside of my french class at St. Mary's?
Cathy Vita - Friday, February 23rd, 2007 12:52 PM
Met you at Westbury 2 yrs ago..you are so very talented....Im a big fan of MCC......we'll be at count basie and mccarter theatres and so excited about the calling....!

Cathi "Spitler" Sullivan - Friday, January 12th, 2007 12:05 PM
I have wondered for years what ever happened to my childhood playmate, once you moved away from good old Butler Rd. I still remember the talent show you were in at Gayle. Man how time goes by. The article Mike Zitz did on you was great. Everytime I hear afternoon delight,I think of you with fond memories.
Debbie Gibson Sauder - Thursday, January 11th, 2007 1:54 PM
I saw the article Mike Zitz did on you and thought I'd say Hi! Don't know if you remember me. We went to elementary school together! My first love!!!!

julia - Tuesday, December 5th, 2006 9:52 AM
jon, that is such a cool intro!! i love it! what a great idea! that should sell you lots of records, i think!
Karen - Sunday, November 26th, 2006 10:14 PM
I just purchased someone named Chris's old CD Jazz collection. In it was an early release of your CD called Home & Away, it was autographed by uou. I fell in love with the music and in an attempt to find out more about you and the CD I came accross your web site. I will be ordering the newer version of the CD for some of my fiends for Christmas gifts this year. I feel stupid that I didn't connect with your music earlier in my life, but going to school, working and raising two children kids took precident. Thanks for creating such beautiful and soulful music, Karen
Piperh Pierson - Sunday, November 26th, 2006 11:05 AM

Richard Weil - Monday, November 13th, 2006 12:38 PM
Hello Jon. Think we met (briefly) at Catholic University about 34 years ago and played guitar together in the stairwell of Spalding Hall.
Have lived in Takoma Park now about 28 years and have hosted house concerts the past six with local, national and international musicians. They have included several Azalea City musicians as well as bluegrass/Randy Barret, Orrin Star, Jimmy Gaudreau, Tom Gray, folk/Timm Harrison, Edie Carey, Karen Mal, Lisa Moscitello and Fred Lieder.
Take care and we're certainly intersted in hosting you if that works with your interest/ schedule next year.

Ruth - Sunday, November 12th, 2006 11:31 AM
Hi Jon. Don't know if you remember me, but I'm Mike Cotter's boss at the Mint, and I met you briefly outside my building (think lighthouses, watertowers, etc.) plus at Starland when you played with Mike and Georgia. Anyway, am making a CD of local artists, and went here to find some info on YOU! -Ruth Rosenthal
Tracie Jones - Friday, November 10th, 2006 6:53 PM
Hi Jon,
Guess who ?
I can't wait for the show the whole clan will be there!!
Seeing you will be a great B-day present (remember I share Ben's b-day)
Hugs

Fran Reynolds - Tuesday, October 31st, 2006 8:05 PM

Congrats!
