Comments: Hi Michael. Nice page. Your songs are really popular not only here in the US but also in my country, the Philippines. In fact, some of your songs were still played on-air up to now...such classics like "bluer than blue" etc. But really, I like the song, "Ill Always Love You" most and its been a part of me since I left my "love one" in the Philippines...its the only song I can give to her...with deep meaning and thoughts...Well, glad that I found your page, I love to sing too and I love singing "Ill Always Love You"...with all my heart... and soul...thanks to you...you're great!!! Hoping to have a cool chat with you...someday. Thanks...

Comments: Hi Michael!

Not sure if you will remember me, but I was the wayward 19 year old fan from Tucson AZ. We originally met at the Lariat Lounge in 1988? 1989? just outside of Tucson. You were then promoting That's That with a band.

You and I kept in touch for a while, and you contacted me when you were playing in Scottsdale. (Sorry, I can't remember the name of the place) I traveled up and stayed at the same inn as you did. I was your guest and even sat in during a brief interview with the local radio/ or newspaper. We had a nice time visiting after the concert :-)

We got back in touch through my friend Sandy (who's number I had given to you.) after moving to Harrisburg, PA. I came to see you in Baltimore, MD. at one of those promotions you hated doing (the mall). We hung out around Inner Harbor and you were kind enough to have dinner with me.

We have since lost touch and I often wondered what you were doing and how you were. I would like you to know that you made a significant impact on my life. You spoke wisely about the relationship that I was in at the time we met in Baltimore (being engaged to a man that drank too much)and you r words prompted me to leave. It was the best thing that I ever did. Thank you for your perpective. I am now married to a great guy and have a beautiful two year old daughter, Sierra Rose. I am at home with her full time, and love just about every minute of it. (Except the terrible tantrums of course!) I have been blessed with an exceptionally intelligent child who is years ahead of her age.

If you have the opportunit, please email me. or you can reach me during the day at (717) 541-5481

Take care!

Love Jaimie

Question: who sang the song at same performance about "One Mile Apart"--comparing lives of two folks, one living in Juarez and the other in El Paso? It struck such a chord with me, but I didn't keep track of who it was. Thought it was you but don't find it anywhere?

Your songs (70's, "I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU", "BLUER THAN BLUE") were the very first ones I heard.

Comments: Dearest Michael,
We have not spoken in years but I think of you often and the heartfelt conversations we had back in MN so long ago. I have recovered completely from the illness that we discussed and have now completed my masters degree. I would really like to be back in contact with you. I miss you terribly and would love to "talk" to you at least through e-mail. I lost your address years ago when I abruptly moved from LaCrosse to Philadelphia. I am now in Denver and very happy. Please write ASAP now that I have found you. I am anxious to catch up with you - don't you just love this e-mail thing? It has changed my life, and now that I've discovered the internet it's even better - especially if it'll mean that I have found you again. Your long lost friend, Karen (Lisa)

Comments: I have loved your music since 1975 when I first heard "There is a Breeze." Being somewhat of a performer myself, I am and have been completely mesmerized by the memory of the title track to that album. I know part of it by heart, but have searched in vain for a recording of it for over 10 years. You know how a song can get under your skin, and maybe become larger than life because you can't hear it except in your head? That may be part of it, like the chase being the exciting part of love, but I truly believe that song to be part of my psyche. As an ex-English teacher, I love the plaintive and searching zen feeling it gives me, and adore the metaphor of the ripples at the end. I also agree entirely with your intro to your web page that states that your music is a perfect blend of telling lyrics, a sonorous and distinctive voice, and excellent solo guitar work. Funny thing, at first I had There is a Breeze on a tape with Leo Kottke, and thought he was the performer for the longest time... Now I see that you did some collaborations with him. I really love to see this web page going, and think it is of very extraordinary design and utility. I only truly wish that you had a discussion group, like Joni Mitchell's (however, she never participates like you do... the friend who told me about this site is from Cedar Rapids named Sue and got some personal email from you last weekend... very cool!) so that I could persuade someone to make a copy of There is a Breeze for me. I know you must get tired of this kind of request, but do you have any suggestions? Thanks for being who you are, singing from the soul, and working to include us, your fans, through this web site. Best of luck, even if it includes frost-bitten breakdowns in Alaska!!! :-) alan in ames, iowa

Have known your music since the early 70's along with John Fahey, Leo Kotkee, Willie and the Bumblebees, and several other great MPLS. performers. Lived In Minnetonka and Wayzata, and hit Excelsior Park before it turned into Condos. Michael, your music still survives the times and brings to me always a sense of content. The old folks, is one of my favorites, along with Pilot me, (thought about that the last time I was in Duluth). Anway, need to hear you in Virginia, and know of a few clubs to get you into.

Comments: I just have to tell you, Michael, that this is the FIRST "fan" note that I have written in my 43 years. Your "works", or should I say "labors of love" have made such a tremendous impact on my life since the 1970's. Only one other musician, Gordon Lightfoot, has made such an impression on me. For the past three years, I have searched in vain for a CD to replace my vinyl album. You have NO idea how frustrating it has been for me to find my "old friends" like "Bluer Than Blue" and "Almost Like Being In Love". I REALLY love the new arrangements... it gives me the feeling of a much more intimate performance, like you have come over for dinner and afterwards graced us with your music.

Could you somehow let me know when and where you will be performing in the future. I am TRULY an admirer of your talents, and would really appreciate the info. Also, any re-release of the older "original" tunes would be an honored addition to my CD collection.

Thank you for being there to sing, play and entertain!!!

Sincerely,

Comments: I've been a big fan since living in Minnesota 79-81 and was introduced to MJ's music. I've seen MJ in Minnesota and in Massachusetts (Old Vienna in Westboro)

If this is going directly to Michael - do you remember Michael Monroe from Minnesota? he had a terrific album on New Beginnings records @80-81 and my understanding is that you guys were friends. I've never seen anything else by him and was hoping his is doing well. Let me know if you are able to get the older albums transferred to CD. I will be glad to upgrade my old vinyl and I'm missing a couple anyway. also if you remember Michael Monroe and know what's happening with him - I'd appreciate hearing.

It must be difficult to have such a great body of work out of print and not be able to bring it into the hands of people who would gladly buy it. I know a New England area band that was very popular when I was in college - Poissette Dart Band (country/folk rock) - has had the same problem. They were with Capitol and have been in limbo for years -trying to convince the record label to reissue on CD. It is even worse when you start thinking about the really trashy stuff being passed off as music...oh well.. time to go when I start venting.

Michael - all the best - I'll look forward to your next Birchmere or Wolftrap show.

Sincerely,

John Halacy

Comments: DEAR MICHAEL, FIRST QUESTION-WHAT BRAND/MODEL OF GUITAR (WHITE), WAS THE GUITAR YOU ARE HOLDING ON THE ALBUM COVER PHOTOGRAPH ON THE 1988 ALBUM "THAT'S THAT"?
SECOND QUESTION-IS THERE ANY WAY TO OBTAIN A COMPACT DISC VERSION OF YOUR 1986 ALBUM "WINGS" & 1988 ALBUM "THAT'S THAT"? I HAVE CASSETTES, BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY WORN OUT FROM CONTINUAL PLAY. GREAT MUSIC NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE, YET WITH ALL THE ALBUMS ON CD AVAILABLE, YOURS CANT BE ORDERED FROM BLOCKBUSTER MUSIC OR ANY OF THE OTHER RETAILERS. SO IN THIS INSTANCE WHAT DOES A FAN DO? SHOULD I CONTACT ONE OF THE ABOVE MUSIC SITES OR A FAN TO TRY AND TRACK DOWN A CD COPY OR CAN I CONTACT RCA RECORDS FOR A COPY OF EACH? I'M IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY AND HAVE PLAYED YOUR TAPES OVER AND OVER DURING DEPLOYMENTS TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND THE CARIBBEAN, SO I SUPPOSE YOU CAN SEE WHERE I WOULD HAVE FLAT EXHAUSTED THE PLAYING LIFE OF THOSE AFOREMENTIONED CASSETTES.

Comments: I've been a fan since I had heard "Bluer than Blue." But, one day he was a local radio station, WMC 790 (yes, on A M) in Memphis, TN in about 1986. He signed an album while in the studio and I won that album from an on air contest. Needless to say, that album is one of my favorites. It was "Give Me Wings." It is a great album.
I like to play guitar and I was looking around the internet for some tabs or chords to some material I could play around with. I could find none on the guitar archive sites left open. So, is there a songbook that has been published that is available somewhere? I would like to know how to play "It's Majic Time," which is off of the album I won.

I noticed on the performance schedule that he is going to be in Nashville on 14 Oct.1998. I would love to go if I can make it. Can you tell me how firm those appearance dates are or if they are just scheduled tentatively. It will be the closest place to Memphis, TN (I'm just 5 miles south of Memphis) I could find in your schedule. If there are other nearer venues could you send me an e-mail (even an e-mail saying no) saying as much.

Thanks,

I spent one incredible evening with you and somebody special (who grew up to become quasi-famous in the broadcast news game up in your old stomping grounds) in March, 1984, at a concert in Hudson, Wisconsin. I'll never forget your curtain call that night, when you NAILED "Here Comes the Sun."

When the ice is slowly melting, I can still hear it. Thank you.

Thank you, as well, for the great vibes you have given my wife and me.

Unfortunately, I don't remember much of it myself. I became a big fan and was inspired to take up a little guitar myself- just a hack really, but I do enjoy it. Most of your guitar work is too advanced for me, but I have managed to figure out one of my favorites, "The Gypsy in the Photograph".

I am still watching your schedule for an appearance somewhere close to Frederick, MD -- I had to miss your York, PA concert, much to my disappointment, but will continue to watch your schedule. Any more thoughts regarding performing a house concert here in Frederick?

Do you have any concert dates in this area planned? Also, we would definitely be interested in obtaining CD's of the first 3 albums, which we have worn out completely. We preferred the "early" stuff only because your incredible guitar playing was featured so prominently in the production, rather than the later recordings, which tended to bury your guitar in the mix, and which we thought were rather overproduced. (What do we know; the later recordings were more popular with the public!).

Comments: I am a 45 year old drug company exec, and have been an MJ fan for 20 years. I have been trying in vain for years to obtain a full set of the early albums on CD. Are they available? Are there any plans for a Florida tour? I have never written a "fan letter" in my life, but I have been instrumental in turning on at least 20 people to your music. We are stretched all over the US, but are certainly glad to see you recording again. Please keep it up. Your work was and is the key musical influence in my life, to the point of having "I'll Always Love You" played at my wedding, and, "The Moon is Still Over Her Shoulder", played at an anniversary party. I'm in the midst of a very nasty divorce, and while "When You Come Home" is still my favorite song of all time, I don't suppose I'll ever have need for that one at a catered event.

I cannot tell you what a treat it has been to find this website! I am ashamed to admit that 4 o5 years ago, I contacted a publishing company in Nashville to determine if you were still performing. What a pleasure to find "Then & Now" at an out of the way music store.

Please don't ever stop recording your own tremendous music. I will purchase each and every song you care to record, particularly if it is one of your compositions, or one by Hugh Priestwood, or Randy Van Warmer.

Thanks for writing and performing

I first discovered you and your music as a student at Wartburg College back in the late 70's. In a sense, you taught me how to play guitar as I tried to copy everything you did. There were a group of us whose lives were glued together through your artistry and music. Now, twenty years later, that bond is still there strong as ever (yeah, I know, get a life . . . right?) and I don't think a conversation goes by where you are not mentioned. Thanks for the tears and joy that you have shared with all of us. As a teacher, I know what it means to me when a student returns to say thanks so I just wanted to pass that along to you.

Take care.

A few years ago my wife Sue and I purchased a copy of THE STARS COME OUT FOR CHRISTMAS. On it is "Upon a Christmas Eve", one of the most touching Christmas ballads we had ever heard. It has been our favorite Christmas song for years and I set about learning it from the CD to play for friends at parties and at Christmas shows. Your tasty guitar accompaniment is at once simple (sounding) and deceptively intricate. I am struggling with some of the chords and one line:

"While dark skies ________(?) kept their watch on windows dressed in gold". I have searched in vain for the sheet music, could not even find the song in Phonolog and was about to despair much as the character in your song when all decked out in ragged clothes...wait a second-that is your song-no, my new computer came to my rescue. So here I am at the website, asking-no, begging for some help in spreading the joy of this sublime tribute to recaptured inspiration to folks out here in the West.

3)The Night Won't Last Forever
4)The Very First Time
5)You Can Call Me Blue
6)I Love You By Heart
7)Gotta Learn To Love Without You

10)Ponies
11)Crying Shame
12)I Will Whisper Your Name
13)That's That
14)Roller Coaster
15)It Must Be You
16)One Honest tear
17)Almost Free

Please e-mail me with your number, or I'll give you mine so I can ask you a few questions. By the way, I once opened for you as a group called The Almost Brothers...I was on MTM and wrote the hit "Slow Boat To China" for the Girls Next Door.

What a treat to find your site! I'm glad there's a place just for all of us who love your music. Saw you at Sulphur, OK, almost 10 years ago. Easily one of the greatest shows I've ever seen! I was drunk with pleasure!

Picked up a souvenir while in Nashville - a Hatch Show Print advertising you and Alison Krauss together. What I would give to have been at that show!

One of my very favorite Christmas songs is "This Time of Year". So beautiful, it ALWAYS makes me cry! I have only seen it on a radio station music service disc. What album was this on originally?

I need to get another copy of it, even if it's on cassette! Gotta have it! Please give me any info.

HOW ABOUT COMING BACK TO MENOMONIE, WI...VERY NICE SMALL COLLEGE TOWN WITH A NICE INTIMATE THEATRE (THE MABEL TAINTER THEATRE), OR ON THE CAMPUS TOO. YOU DID PLAY AT STOUT UNIVERSITY A "LONG" TIME AGO IN SEVENTIES...I BELIEVE AN OUTDOOR CONCERT. MENOMONIE IS A GREAT PLACE FOR A CONCERT, ESPECIALLY AN ACOUSTIC SHOW!

ALSO, THE REASON I BEGAN TOO WRITE WAS REGARDING YOUR HOME STUDIO...ANOTHER ACOUSTIC ALBUM IN THE FUTURE? WOULD BE REAL NICE!

HOW ABOUT TEAMING UP WITH HENLEY AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF ACOUSTIC MASTERPIECES, OR KOTTKE (LOVED YOUR PERFORMANCE WITH HIM ON TWIN CITIES PUBLIC TELEVISION ABOUT 1980?), OR PETER YARROW...HOW ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

Comments: In 1979 I was a sophmore in high school. My three sisters and I sang gospel music and traveled the area. I played the drums for the band and enjoyed singing.

Our high school had a "rock band" and played all the current hits. I joined the band and played the drums and of course sang. Got a credit for this too!

Your song "bluer than blue" was on the charts and I thought it was just a beautiful song. I had already had it memorized and would sing it to myself all the time and when it was on the radio we would both be singing together.

I asked the band if we could learn it and add it to our list for our concerts and I of course would sing it.We traveled to all the local schools doing our songs and "bluer than blue" always seemed to be a favorite. I really enjoyed singing that song and so did the girls!! In the fall my town has a annual "fall festival" and our band would perform. We would set up and play and as people walked by they would stop and listen and then move on. But when I sang your song the people stopped and listen until I finished. They must have really liked it,reckon? After I finished people came to me and told me what such a pretty song it was.

Well, thats been a long time ago but that memory is still with me and always will be.I still find myself singing that song from time to time. And when I want to hear the real thing I just drop in the C.D. which contains what I believe is one of my most treasured songs "Bluer than blue". I no longer play the drums and our gospel group has long been over but I still love to sing -And do!- and many times as Im driving down the road and thinking or talking to someone about the good ole days I can I can thank you for filling a special spot in my life and giving me joyful memories simply by giving me the song "BLUER THAN BLUE"

Comments: I had the pleasure of attending the MJ performance at St Peter, MN this past fiday eve. The highlight of the evening was a solo guitar version of MONA RAY, originally a duet with Leo Kottke. Michael asked for requests twice, but played very few of the oldies people wanted.

Maybe he sold the rights to Michael Jackson :-) It was a good time, but Im sure others (old fans from the 70's like me) really want to hear alot of the "Breeze" and "Mad Musicians" songs! The attendance was down from last year, and it will probably be worse next year after the jokes he made about Christians at Friday's concert. Come on, Michael, give us what we want to hear....its us "old fans" that bought your records back in 1973 that kept you in cigarettes and put gas in your van as you drove from college to college...I still have good copies of "there is.." and "Mad,Mad Musicians" if anyone is desparate, e-mail me.

Comments: Once again, we are looking forward to your concert on the 26th in Mpls....I definitely would love to hear the old stuff and LOTS of it!!! Just play forever that night! So, if you are taking requests, I'd love to hear "Troubled for you" and "Moving in the Same Circles"!

Also a more recent favorite is "Departure" ! Those songs of yours, as many do,have special meaning to me! Hope our Great Weather holds for your visit to Minnesota (sorry, no snow yet)! See you on the 26th!

I used to have 3 wonderful tapes -"Dialogue", "The Michael Johnson Album" and "You can Call me Blue". They were the best and I'd love to be able to replace them. Hope you get the Masters - I'll buy two of everything!

Comments: I have been a big fan since the "Bluer Than Blue" days. The song "Dialogue" is one of my all-time favorites. I had the Michael Johnson Album and Dialogue albums which I recorded (very poorly I might add) onto a casette years ago. The albums have been misplaced over the years, but the casette is still with me. Until I found the website, I would visit a music shop at every town I visited to see if those two albums were out on CD's. Oops. Now I know better.

Comments: A couple of years ago in Deadwood, S.D. I was fortunate to see Michael andJim Salestrom share a night at the Bullock Hotel. I had seen him (Michael) several times on the Tonight Show was eager to see and hear him live. Both Michael and Jim Salestrom were great. I bought tapes of both Jim and Michael. Both tapes are worn out. That night Michael sang a song called "Ponies". I am a singer/songwriter and would like to ask permission to perform "Ponies". I've never gone about getting permission before because I never knew who to ask. Please let me know what I skould do. I would also like to thank Michael for returning my call at a time when I was having trouble with my son. I had called the Bullock hotel and they called Michael. I never spoke with him in person or by phone but my son did. I will always have a great respect for Michael for taking the time to return my call. Thank you so very much!
Sincerely, Greg Gideon

Comments: I've been a fan of Michael Johnson's since the 70's. I actually got to work with him in 1978 or 79 when I was a student promoter in college in Utah. It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Michael and his guitar literally had the audience mezmerized from the opening notes of his first number. Then he went with some students to the local pub and did another hour or so just for fun (and free).

Alas, the reason I was seeking a web site for Michael is that much of my album collection (including "For all You Mad Musicians" and "There is a Breeze") disappeared a few years ago along with my exhusband, and my cassettes of these wore out long ago. I have been desparately seeking these two albums in every used record store and garage sale, since, but have had no luck. Please tell me there is a chance (a good chance) that these may be reproduced on CD, or that there is a used-record vendor out there who specializes in locating Michael Johnson masterpieces.

Anyway, glad I found the site.

I also made a personal "best of" cassette tape to take in the car. This web site is great to finally tell me what is and isn't available on CD. Can you tell me when your music of the late 70's, early 80's might possibly be available on CD? I'm really looking forward to having them as part of my collection and recalling those days...when I was in college! Thanks. I look forward to your reply.

Comments: Michael,

I was introduced to your music when I moved from Omaha to Morris Minnesota to attend the university in 1979. I have very fond memories of my under graduate days, and quietly in the background I can hear your music adding the soul to so mamy pleasant and sometimes poignant images. Thank you so very much for giving that to me.

Now, on to a more practical matter. Please continue to work on compiling your previously released music. There was an upper classman who would sit in the stairwells of the dormatory at night and play his acustic guitar. If I came into the stairwell he always knew to start playing "May You Never" because I would end up asking for the request anyway. I would sincerely enjoy being able to hear that song one more time. It would be easier for you to gain access to the master tape than for me to have to track down that guy and request him to play it again.

Finally, when you play in Minneapolis (a short air flight from KC), or better yet, in Kansas City, please put it on your website so I at least have a chance of actually seeing you perform.

I wish you the very best in 1999!

Sincerely,
A Fan in Kansas City

Comments: I've been a Michael Johnson fan ever since he played at the University of Minnesota, Morris in the early 70's. I was hooked immediately and remain hooked to this day. Every once in a while, I dig out the old tapes. "Rooty Toot Toot for the Moon" still makes me jump for joy, and "Mr. Arthur's Place" brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it, even after twenty-some years.

Like many people who've posted here, I really would like to have some of the old albums on CD. I'd even like some of the middle ones. I've gone so far as to purchase David Wilcox albums because if you squint just right, he does sound like Michael. But even better would be if Michael would record an acoustic CD of new music. That would be great.

Comments: I can't put into words how Michael Johnson's music comforts and calms me deep inside, no matter how often I listen. The first song I heard that caught my attention was "Dirty Hands, Dirty Faces" from the Departure CD, and I was hooked. From there I began to search for other recordings, and I was lucky enough to see him play at the Kerrville Festival in June of 1997.

I also am a huge John Denver fan and was completely unaware of the relationship between them.

I truly look forward to seeing Mr. Johnson in concert again someday, and until then I will continue listening.

Has Mr. Johnson ever played in or around Houston, and are there any plans to return to this part of the country? (please say yes!)

I don't know if Mr Johnson actually reads these messages or not, But I hope whoever does can help me!

My problem is this.My favorite album is "WINGS". Unfortunately, my daughter copied over it and since it is no longer being produced, I can't get a replacement copy. I was hoping that perhaps another fan could copy their album and send it to me. Therefore, I need the address or internet address for Mr Johnsons Fan Club. OR info on how I can get a copy of WINGS! Thank you

Comments: Michael-I've always been a fan of yours since the 70's--especially since "Bluer Than Blue" during my college days. I guess I had sort-of lost touch and then I saw you at Reba show in Branson, Missouri during the early 90's and you really touched me again. Ever since then I've tried to catch you at Bluebird in Nashville at least once a year. Your song "Cain's Blood" and your arrangment of it in Bluebird setting is powerfull!!! It definitely "makes me high"----thanks for your music. Please come to Texas more often. Are you going to be at Kerrville this year? I'm a struggling folk guitarist--any helpful hints?

Comments: Glad to see a site dedicated to a truly talented performer. I was a little kid growing up in Los Angeles around the 'Bluer than Blue' days and used to listen to a radio station that played nothing but AOR (Steely Dan, Dobbie Bros, Tota, Pages, ELP, ect.) One of the very first albums I ever purchased (with money collected from neighborhood lawn cutting) was 'You Can Call Me Blue'. KNX FM 93, used to play the hell out of a cut from the album called "Right Through The Heart". With such a slick melodic rhythm and hook that epitomized the West Coast sound it still sounds great whether on the hi fi or in the car driving uo highway 101. I still have the album til' this day (as well as a handful of other great MJ albums in my collection). When are you coming out to L.A., so that I can get 'You Can Call Me Blue' autographed? Once again, great website and keep on, keepin' on.

You entertain there quite often in those years... a BIG part of my life at that time. We last visited a few years back when you were in Pipestone, MN for a couple of days. My good friend Dan Bearfield of Pipestone drove you down to Sioux Falls to check out computer hardware. I insisted that he stop by and pick me up along the way. We sipped a beverage on the deck of my new home in Brandon, SD after the afternoon events. OK, so you don't remember... My question is.. do you plan a Sioux Falls gig in the near future? Mary and I missed your last visit and would like to get some advanced notice so that we don't get the "sold out" story next time your in town. Your Phillipine tour sounds interesting.

Comments: I loved Michael Johnson in the 70's without ever knowing he was a former band mate of my favorite of all time, JD. It's wonderful to know that it's such a small world! Michael has such a beautiful voice and I love both his love songs like "Bluer Than Blue" and the silly songs like "Life's A Bitch". It's great to see he's still around! Whatever happened to David Boise?

Hi! My name is Robert and I'm from Manila. I'm so delighted to learn that you have a web site so now I know where to find you. I love or rather obsessed listening to your songs especially "Doors", "Bluer Than Blue",and of course, "I'll Always Love You". Never a day will pass without hearing them. Your songs are truely heartfelt that they can make a heart of stone melt. I was able to watch your concert with the other guys here last February and I can say that it is once in a lifetime experience.
Anyways,I wish you all the luck and thank you for all your wonderful music.God Bless!

Comments: Michael,

Finding your website has been like finding a long lost friend! Your warped sense of humor shines through in your writing (and who would ever have guessed under that shy guy exterior you portray to the outside world)! At any rate, don't ever change...

I've always been a big fan and am very happy to announce that I finally found my Best of MJ(RCA)CD in a moving box that had never been unpacked since I left Denver (shame on me that was two moves ago through California and Dallas)-- I knew it was there but that's what happens when movers pack CDs in a box marked "Guest Bathroom". I won't tell you what else I found in that box, but there was some good stuff in there!!!

I'd been enjoying "Then & Now" in the absence of my beloved Best of CD, and have to say that I've grown accustomed to newer streamlined versions of the songs -- guess I'm just a soft romantic Winch! As you snicker, imagine introducing yourself (with a straight face) as a female in the business world with a last name like that!

Hope to be able to catch you play somewhere down in my neck of the woods soon, and I just put in a cheap and shameless plug for you at McGonigel's Mucky Duck here in Houston. I love the fact that your music can't be defined into a specific genre -- just goes to show that your talents defy typecasting -- and wouldn't you rather smile and keep people wondering what you're up to?

On that note, I hope you're smiling as I bid you adieu...

I am looking forward to seeing you perform live this weekend at the Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville.

I had the opportunity to see Stephen Bishop play at Lawerenceburg, Indiana and meet with him backstage, I told him several songwriters and performers should do a concert tour together.

Such artists as Andrew Gold ( who help produce Stephens last CD), England Dan and John Ford Coley, Michael McDonald and other great artists who had hits in the 70's and 80's.

You are all VERY gifted musicians, todays youth should experience the clean, safe, wonderful sounds of that era.

See ya Saturday!
Have a GREAT show!

Comments: The first time I saw MJ perform live was in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1989 (I think). He was opening for Three Dog Night, and I was incredibly impressed with his performance. It was definitely the high point of the night for me. The following year, I heard that Eddie Rabbit was coming to town and that Michael Johnson was opening. I gladly shelled out my $38 for two tickets, but as far as I was concerned I was buying tickets to a Michael Johnson concert. I dragged along a guitarist friend, telling him, "you've gotta see this guy." We were not disappointed! We could have left after Michael's performance having been totally entertained. I have seen many, many performers in my life, but that night stands out as my favorite performance. As a performer myself, I have had the opportunity to open for several headliners, most recently for Ray Charles last month in Idaho Falls. During Mr. Charles' performance I had the best seat in the house --just off stage, directly to his left, about 15 feet away. It was indeed a magic night, but I still consider that concert by MJ to be the finest I've seen.

I remarried 6 years ago, and my wife fell in love with him as soon as I played her 'That's That' and, later 'Then and Now'. We have been hoping to see him perform live ever since. He was scheduled to play in Pocatello last year, but when we went to buy tickets we were told that the concet had been cancelled. I can't tell you how glad we are to see that he is scheduled to play in Idaho Falls on September 21st. You can bet that we will be first in line to buy tickets. We're very excited to be able to go to an MJ concert, even if it means having to put up with Paul Revere & the Raiders!

Lost track during the "Nashville years", picking up the occasional cd. Caught you once on TNN. Missing the voice and the music. So glad to find the old faves and to hear some of the tunes I've missed over recent years (love "That's That"). My personal favorite is "I'll always love you". One of the few songs I ever learned on the guitar. Thanks for all the music. Don't quit.

Comments: Excuse me for writing again, and for thinking you'll have time to read my random thoughts. (I promise, this is my last entry). Tapped into this page at work today, read your magazine piece about "giving up" and came home and listened to your songs some more. Put me in a great, peaceful, slightly sad state of mind. I am ordering "Then and Now", and really looking forward to hearing some old favorites and some songs I haven't heard before. It amazes and saddens me that your music is so hard to find. I wonder if James Taylor was 20 today, if he would be able to find an audience, or a radio station that would play his music. I have always really loved a great lyric and someone who can sing it. It seems that if someone sings great ballads today, the only "place" for them is "country", where people like me will never find them. Is Kathy Mattea a "country singer"? I don't think so. But where else will her music find a home. It stinks.
I saw you once in a small club in Chicago (can't remember the name), but it was the 80's. I had already lost track of you, but I saw an ad in the reader. I went by myself. It was just you and a guitar and your voice. It was a great evening I will never forget.
There are only a few singers I follow, and they are a weird combination. I have never missed a John Prine album. Recently I picked up the latest Tom Waits album and was glad to hear him doing songs I could listen to again. You and John Prine and Tom Waits -- anything in common? Yes. Each a distinctive voice, singing lyrics that mean something in songs that you almost never find on the radio.
I hope you never give up, and hope to see you in Des Plaines????? in the fall.

Hey, how about doing a 4th of July show after the fireworks in Buena Vista? As a native Coloradoan, surely you remember that summer is a great time to be up in the mountains (elev. in St. Elmo is around 10,300)...blue skies, rushing streams through forests of aspen, pine, and spruce and columbines blooming in mountain meadows...can't we entice you???

After the early recordings CD-set is finished, Michael should work on reissuing Wings and That's That on CD and include as bonus tracks: B-sides (especially "River Colorado," my personal favorite of his songs), Europe-only releases, his songs from other projects such as the Christmas compilations, film soundtracks and his delightful songs from Sleeping with the Fishes.

Comments: Hi Michael !
This is the first time I learned of your web page, and now I am very happy to learn that you are going to release your earlier works. I have searched for so many years for your music, and have had very little luck finding the early stuff. I am a musician,originaly from California. I am a fingerstyle guiratist, and your music was, and will allways be a big part of the kind of music that has influenced my playing styles. I have been playing guitar for 35 years,for the most part it has been fingerpicking style. Even in these days, when I get chances to play for parties etc. I seem to always want to play some of the tunes I have learned from your albums, such as MY OPENING FAREWELL, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, AND PONIES. Just to name a few. I noticed that you have done many of Hugh Prestwood"s tunes, and there is no need to wonder why,since in my opinion he is one of the very best songwriters ever. I thought I would share with you , that I have only recently started writing lyrics, mostly due to the encouragement of some musician friends. I guess my admiration of his lyrical style has truly rubbed off, and now the only problem is I just cant seem to make things sound so good as you seem to always do.Well I just thought I would tell you this since I have still to this day not had the chance to meet you or see you perform. I have been told by several of my friends in Pensacola Florida that you have performed there before some years ago. I hope that you will consider coming back that way again sometime. Perhaps to play at the University of West Florida, or the Saenger Theatre. I have come to know so many of the finest musicians in the area over the past 20 years, along with rhe local promoters,perhaps if you secided you wanted to come out this way O could help with arranging things. I recently have built a beautiful house right on the most beautiful Styx River in Seminole, Alabama which is only 15 minutes away from the college. It would be a great privilege, if you were to come down this way, to have you as a guest at our house. I could guide you to all the great spots for dining and entertainment. Or if you just wanted to relaxe you might take a tour of the beautiful river and other local waterways.We have 2 jetski's here at the river so you would not have to deal with renting any.Whatever the future holds I hope you will come and perform in this area someday. Please add me to your mailing list so that I can know where you will be performing, and especially so I can fill in the gaps of my musical library. Please write back if you feel! I am a friend and greatful fan of yours for 30 plus years. Thanks for all the wonderful music you have contributed to my life.

Don Lopez
Bye the way !
If you have an address that I could send mail to, I would like to send a few CD,s of someone that I think you must hear,especially since this artist has passed away just recently, I feel that her music must be heard and will probably become nearly impossible to aquire in the near future. I particularly think you will simply love the shear power and pureness of her beautiful voice. Her name is Eva Cassidy. I have not heard a voice like this in ,any years. She sounds ( if you can imagine )like Sarah Vaughn , Bonnie rait , Carmin McRay and a few others all melded together with a soulful spirit unlike anyone I have heard in many years. She has recorded on BLICKSTREET RECORDS.

I hope to hear from you sometime ! Don at Styx River Productions

Who did sing the song except Michael ?
I heard that a female singer was singing the song.
But I don't remember who she is !
Somebody knows it ?

You sing like a bird.
Had I a voice I would want it to be like yours.

Later, you, Gil, Joe DeLucia and I went to a Mexican restaurant where Joe and I had the privilege of extinguishing a minor kitchen blaze. I gotta say your performance that night was nearly as incendiary but greatfully free of the hydrogenated oils that could have fueled an unfortunate, similiar conflagration. I live in New Mexico now and will never use the phrase "fire food" again without silently respecting its secret meaning. I'll keep my eyes out for your next trip down this way and hope to catch you at the Adobe Bar in Taos, or some other such supercool, super-hip haunt. Its good to see your're playing alot, thus proving there's still a market for good music- so Thanks!!!

I think it was called, "Unconditionally" but I'm not sure. Has he recorded it and where can I get a copy. The words to the chorus are, "Unconditionally, unconditionally, maybe you find it hard to understand. You're in my heart wherever you go and I want you to know I love you, babe, unconditionally." I've looked for this for YEARS and have even tried to get a copy of the show but to no avail. He sang the song and a guy with a long blond ponytail played guitar with him.

Comments: Hi, Mr. Johnson -

I had the pleasure of seeing/hearing you at the Kerrville Folk Festival 3 or 4 years ago. It was a night of many surprises.

Of course, I was there to hear an old favorite of mine, Nanci Griffith. I arrived at 5:00 p.m. on a day that was hotter than the hinges of Hell, and one surprise was having to wait until midnight to hear her!

I was surprised by many of the other performers - at how good some were, and how stinking others were.

But the best surprise of the night was you. I was so impressed by your guitar-playing, your singing, your songwriting and your song selection.

Since then, I've been haunted by my incomplete memories of some wonderful songs you sang, particularly "That's That" and the song containing the line "A friend of mine is going blind . . ."

I'm not much of an internet explorer, but I did look for you once or twice before today, with some success. But at the time my computer setup didn't allow me to listen to samples of your recordings. Now, however, I'm soundbite-enabled - and I could only find a tiny little taste of your music, damn it all.

I've just gone through your discography - didn't find "A friend of mine . . . " but was pleased to see that you've collaborated with some other folks whose songwriting talents I admire - notably, Randy Sharp & Michael McDonald.

Next recording session, why don't you record Mr. McDonald's best tune, "I Can Let Go Now"?

Unfortunately, I find myself lacking a job, money and a CD player. If/when that deplorable situation changes, I'll buy as many of your recordings as can find.

I was disturbed to read in one of your bios that you had been ill - I do hope you're in good health now, and that we can look forward to more good music from you.

Thanks for that night in Kerrville, and all your music. Keep on keepin' on.


Sincerely,

Lee Millay

I was introduced to your music at concert at St. Kate's college in St. Paul over 20 years ago & have enjoyed your Christmas show at Orchestra Hall at least 8 times. One of my greatest treasures was tape recorded in the early 80's of a radio simul-cast, which I attended & a friend recorded, but when my son was two, he dropped it down the heat register (toast). Do you have any plans to publish any of those live performances or were they even recorded by the station? I don't even remember which station it was.

Comments: Hi Michael... I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to take you down "Memory Lane." In the early 80's some of my friends and I saw you in concert in Decorah, Iowa. For one of your encores you played "Rooty-toot for the Moon" and as you played, a full moon (or close) came up over your shoulder...hey! that sounds like a good idea for love song! Actually, it really did happen! If I remember correctly, it was in August and it was your birthday. After the concert, the five of us hung around and we had the opportunity to talk to you. We even sang "Happy Birthday" to you and I think you recorded it on a little tape recorder. My friend (who was there that night) said that he saw you in concert this past summer and he and his wife (who was also there that night in Decorah) were able to talk to you again and told you about that night. Just for the record, you also autographed a tin of Skoal chewing tobacco for me...(I quit chewing, but I still have the tin). Anyway... I have been listening you since for a long time (I have scratchy albums of four of your first five albums). My buddy visited this summer and brought his (and your) Departure CD and played it for me. I found your website and ordered it tonight. I also hope to see you in concert this next February in Galesville. Thanks for all the great tunes! My two oldest children walk in when I play your music and say, "This sounds like Michael Johnson." There is hope for them!

I grew up in Mpls. and all my friends and I listened to your music constantly. My friend, Phil used "Good Life" in his wedding. He used to see you in concert when you'd sit on the edge of the stage and have people move down front and play for them. I saw you at the Minnesota State Fair, some year in the 70's.

We saw your show last night in Idaho Falls, and what a great show it was. As we mentioned last night, we've waited over six years for a chance to see you... please don't wait another six years to come back! It was truly a pleasure to talk to you last night. Teresa said that, in the seven years we've been together, she'd never seen me 'gush' until I was talking to you. I don't really know exactly what it means to 'gush', but it is apparently something I did last night & I apologize if I got any on ya...

...but seriously...

It's obvious to us that your music is ageless, because our 14 year old daughter Jessica is a big MJ fan and was more than a little miffed that we didn't take her with us (due to the nature of the ticket sales, we weren't sure WE were going to get in until we did). When we got home, she wasn't really talking to us until we showed her the autograph you signed for her. That seemed to restore the peace for now. But rest assured she will be there next time...

Until then, please take care of yourself. And thanks again for a fun evening!

Comments: For those who haven't ordered "The Early Albums", do it today! What a true joy to hear all of these classic albums with digital clarity. I defy anyone to re-hear MJ's "Old Folks" and not be moved. And those strings on "Mr. Arthur's Place"...heaven. The CDs are shipped out of the Twin Cities, and I received mine the day after I ordered. Great liner notes, too. A long-awaited package, executed beautifully. A must.

Comments: Years and years ago (well, about 1979), when I was a very young reporter for my college newspaper in Moorhead, MN, I had the chance to interview Michael. He was gracious and kind and charming and put me at ease, even though I was so nervous I was afraid I'd fall on the floor. I've been listening to his music ever since, and I am delighted to find his early albums available on CD, since I've almost worn out my vinyl. Hey, Michael -- thanks for everything.

Comments: Dear Michael:
Just read the news you will not be doing your holiday concert in Mpls. this year and I realized that I too will need to find something else to do, for the 1st time in 23 years, on the the night after Christmas.
So for those of us who love your music and may find ourselves in holiday music withdrawl, let me make a suggestion. Will you please consider doing a recording of what are now your holiday classics? There's a New Kid in Town, This Time Next year, Best Years of Our Lives, Upon a Christmas Eve etc. are wonderful songs and you need to record them or rerecord them so the music gets out there. I think there is a market even if you released it on cassette. Please think about it.
There are many of us who would love to hear these songs more than just once a year.
Missing the music already,
Donna

It's even better to find that the early Capitol records are available on disc--I've been looking for years. (When are you coming to the Bay Area, MJ? I have not seen you play since you played in my hometown of Willmar, MN almost 30 years ago). I can also remember Michael & Leo Kottke doing some tunes from Jackson Browne's great debut album on TV from that time.

I don't have a turntable at present, and I am trying to recall (or find somewhere on the web)the lyrics to jacque brel's "old folks". I have always loved the arrangement on the album. Anyways, I just want to say thanks for the fine music.

Comments: Michael

Had the extreme pleasure of FINALLY seeing you live at the BBIRD on Nov 12th. I flew in from Tampa and met my best friends to make the show. It was everything I had hoped and more. I deal with major CEO's, and have met the prez and vp of the US, along with many, many "important" politicians and celebrities. Still, this was the first time I was tongue-tied. Your talent and presence in the small venue was unlike any musical experience I have ever had. Anyone who has not seen MJ in concert is missing the treat of a lifetime. I had hoped to be able to se you in Ft. Pierce, Fla on the 17th, but I will need to be in court. Perhaps you will consider further visits to the sunshine state in the near future. I can almost guarantee a sellout! Again, thanks for the kindness you showed to all your fans, "Hobo Jim".

Hope to catch you again in the very near future, and have your "40's" CD out VERY soon.

I saw you in concert in Panama City on November 18. My wife and I were fortunate enough to speak with you prior to the concert, and you were gracious enough to get us inside the auditorium prior to opening time, and right in the front row. This is the first time I've seen you live, although I've been a mega-fan since 1978. I have since ordered the 3-album CD of the early years, which complete's my collection of your music. Except for the European release, I now have all your albums on CD. Hope to see you again soon, and it would be great to have your video w/Allison Krause, as well as a CD of your Christmas music. You are truly an awesome talent. Thanks for the music!!!!

Really enjoyed your show last night in Chippewa Falls. I haven't seen you for some time. I'm a musician myself, after I finish teaching fourth graders all day--actually, the teaching of children is the only gig I've ever had where I'm sure no one will walk out on me (unless they have to puke). I'm a percussionist but my first love is to sing--I learned alot singing your songs and others like Al Jarreau. Hope to see you again soon!

Comments: Some two years ago we made a trip to America for a two week holiday. We were in Los Angeles, flipping-out at ACTUALLY being in Tower Records etc (it's a long way from Australia!) and all the other record stores sent from heaven. Whilst in one of the stores, an overhead video monitor was playing this strange version of Kenny Loggins and Melissa Manchester's song, "Whenever I Call You Friend". My wife and I stopped in our tracks and stared up at the screen transfixed. This version was amazing - incredibly beautiful, incredibly intimate. "Who in god's name is that?" we asked each other. Neither of us knew. We continued to watch the screen and listen oblivious to our surroundings. The name of the artists appeared very quickly and briefly at the bottom of the screen - Michael Johnson and Allison somebody which was too quick to see. We immediately made for the counter at the finish of the song. "Do you have any Michael Johnson stuff?" we pleaded with the Assistant. He took us to the "J" section but were disappointed to find nothing. Damn! During the next couple of weeks we searched other record stores but found very little of Michael's and definitely no album with the Loggins/Manchester song on it. We returned home to Australia and have continued our search of our own stores without success for two years. But then we became computer literate!!!!!! We jumped on the internet, searched the CDNow site, and discovered that "Then and Now" could be ordered via credit card. Well yesterday it arrived. I wish I could do justice in mere words to the unbelievable surprise the album gave us during our first listen yesterday. We both sat there repeating "Wow" to each other song after song. Soon as I read to credits and the names Goodrum, Snow, Kaz and Labounty appeared I thought this may be okay. I am familiar with some of their work. But nothing prepared us for the absolute thrill this album gave us. We have played it repeatedly since it arrived yesterday. Every song is brilliant, but in particular, "The Moon is Still Over Her Shoulder" is incredibly moving. We are thrilled to have discovered a treasure that has been around for some time, but sooo out of reach all these miles away. You are terrific Michael. Thanks to the internet, we will now be able to share in the enjoyment of Michael's other work. We are so glad we walked into that L.A record store two years ago. More, more, more!!!!!!!

Thank you for helping to get me to this point! I can't believe, looking at your schedule for the last two years, that you were so close to my home in Eastern PA and that you did a gig with Dave Pomerantz and Stephen Bishop, two more of my favorite singer/songwriters of the last 20-30 years! I'd give my eye teeth (or almost, anyway) for a recording of that show. I might have been there if I'd known about it (although Manila is a long way off). Is a recording available? Please let me know. Good luck in all your endeavoers in the future. And please come back to Eastern PA, New Jersey, or NYC soon... Dr. Jan Herman
