Time and time again I am asked the same questions:
John where did you study?
Are you professionally trained?
Is it difficult to stay in voice?
I come by my voice by virtue of my birth. I can honestly say, with great pride, that I have inherited my dear father’s voice. the last rose of sumer, the last track on this album, is
A tape recording of my dad, made in the cabin bar in glasgow, scotland on august 31, 1957.
