Hey Paul
John is a killer musician but he not playing at all right now do to a incident! Myself I am not playing out anymore because of health problems ! I was playing with several members of jackson junction when I quit playing out we were billing as Deanna Freeman & smalltown at the time but I know all the guys in jackson junction and their all friends of mine! Who did your friend know that plays on & off with them is it Deanna , or Julie she knows!
