It ranges from upbeat to serious to humorous to hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for being an inspiration and sharing your creativity.\" — Patricia Lynch

\"Phresh Produce. It\'s just THAT! It\'s Freshness produces a feeling of empowerment that makes you feel like superman (woman) when you listen to it. It\'s a great car CD — especially when you have an upcoming meeting, job interview or perhaps on the way to talk to someone that you really don\'t want to, after listening to this CD first - you can handle anything!!\" — Ann Bailey

\"His music touches so many of my emotions, it\'s been hard for me to come up with just a couple sentences. \"He is an amazing songwriter. He puts words and sounds together in a unique way that touches every part of my soul. His music plunges me to the depths of anger and sorrow then rebounds me to the highs of love, levity and hope. There\'s even a couple of songs with great attitude and life lessons that make me want to go out in the world and kick some ass! There is something for everyone on this CD!\" — Cori Kimball

Johnny\'s songs always take me to new places in my heart. He has the mind of a classical composer and the heart of a poet. Wrap that all in a blanket of deep life experience and I want more, PLEASE!! — Norman Beede, concert pianist, composer, teacher

I love Johnny\'s music, songwriting and soulful style of playing and singing. SO many of his songs hang in my head and I find myself singing or humming them throughout the day. They make me feel good and in rhythm with life. I have told a lot of my friends about Johnny so they can experience him too. My daughter loves his music too, even though she\'s younger. His music can speak to anyone. — Naomi Kerr
