| I met John last year at Troy Music Hall. What a sweet guy he is.
He's not an O player, but he is one of my faves. This always brings a smile to my face, and I hope it brings a smile to yours too.

| Hi Sleepy:
I have that one. It was signed by David Grisman. John Sebastian signed my John Sebastian Songbook.
It was great to tell him how much I love his music.
BTW, what does your signature mean by 282..remember?

| Al, I didn't realize that John had throat cancer. That explains the raspiness in his voice then.
John and David Grisman were so much fun to see last year. They got two standing ovations and came out and did a nice encore for the audience.

Location: Texas | I didn't know that he had throat cancer, either, I hope it is in remission?
I've seen him perform countless times, I actually worked with him once (a long, but not very interesting, story) so I had the opportunity to chat with him quite a bit. He is extremely talented, yet humble and a very warm, friendly and likable guy.
IMHO, he is one of our most under-appreciated "national treasures…" |

About two years ago, the local PBS station had John in the studio. The host was making a big deal about John being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. John simply said, "Yea, it's nice, but there are other things in life". He seemed so humble about the whole thing.
