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 from a tape recording of my Dad, made in the Cabin Bar in Glasgow, Scotland on August 31, 1957.
