How did you find this site?
Comments: Hi, I just visited your Michael Johnson site. It's nice to see something out there about him. I've been a fan ever since I saw him (from about 6 feet away) at the Earl of Old Town in Chicago back in about 1974. Do you know if there are any plans to rerelease his early stuff on CD? I never seem to drag out the old vinyl anymore.

Do you happen to know whatever happened to Mark Henley (he was at the same show with Michael). I really liked his stuff, especially his collaborations with Michael. I talked to someone here at Redhouse Records who thought he was somewhere in Tennessee. I'd really like to hear anything else that he has recorded.

I have a friend in town whose parents rented out a place to Michael and Mark when they lived in Minneapolis. Unfortunately she doesn't remember much about them since she was so young. That was the first time I heard about O.B. Glad. Who would have guessed that was a dog?

Comments: Nice site! I've been a fan for quite some time; actually got a chance to meet and talk with Michael in January of 1982 (can't believe it's been so long.). He was playing at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN, and I happened backstage afterwards to meet him. His roadies were packing him up and he was looking for a cigarette (I've quit since then; I assume he has too!) and a place to smoke it. I found both for him...not always easy in Minnesota! Anyway, we chatted a bit and I tried not to be a star-struck college kid. He invited me to a late dinner with him and his family and crew, but I declined as a major winter storm was bearing down on us and I though I should get back to my own campus (St. John's University, Collegeville MN). Great guy, great music. I know he's performed a number of times at the Big Top Chautaqua in northern Wisconsin (a stage I'll be singing on in just a few days, unless the root canal I have scheduled for the day before decides to act up on me), but I've never had the opportunity to see him there. Maybe next year.
Thanks for the nice website. I'm sure he likes it!

Comments: Michael -- It's great to see your web page on the internet!
I bought your "Dialogue" album when it first came out. Every time I go to buy a new CD, I look for that album. I have not been able to find it... I'm usually not into buying 'older' music; I like to buy 'current' stuff. But there is just no substitute for your music. Over the last 17 years since I bought "Dialogue", I have been through a lot of adversity. My wife left me 4 years ago. Although I'm very optimistic, I've gained a new appreciation for the heartfelt, somber expressions that "Dialogue" conveyed... I'd love to have that album on CD !!!

Thanks for the music you've provided to people like me. Don't let anyone measure the value of your music by the number of albums sold. The value of "Dialogue" is immeasurable to me.

Is "Dialogue" on CD??? If so let me know where I can get it!

I'm looking forward to your new album in August.

Take care...

My wife and I were ready to leave after Mack's set - didn't know who Michael was; but after the first couple of songs, decided to stay the evening! A true musician - could see the classical training. A truly great evening, without a single banjo joke ... "John Davidson sucks!" We were sitting in front with our friends (we have our own little musical group) and we all agreed that we wanted to hear more of Michaels work. Want to get his acoustic album releasing in August.

Comments: Greetings from Denmark !!!

Dear Michael Johnson

I hope you have a chance to read this. I have been a huge fan of yours for many years (boy - time flies) and I would like to thank you for bringing me so many hours of enjoyment with your beautiful music.

It is important that you know you have loyal and enthusiastic fans in this part of the world too (Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia that is). And I know most of us have followed your career for many years. I has not been easy - in fact it has been very difficult because your albums are so hard to get hold of. I have just discovered, that I miss no less than four of your albums in my collection. As a big big fan of yours and a hardcore record collector, this is indeed a hard one to swallow. Especially because I am not sure how I can get hold of these albums (and that includes your two latest offerings) - even with all my connections. Any help you can give me would be highly appreciated!

I would also like to inform you, that a group of serious lovers of high quality adult oriented pop/rock music here in Denmark recently founded "Danish Friends of Westcoast Music". Our aim is to promote music like yours and ensure a better knowledge, distribution and airplay to the benefit of all of us. In these troubled times (!) such a step seems necessary.

We got off to a very good start with a very nice magazine (issue #2 is on the way), a website and many useful contacts (both artists and record companies). More members are joining our (still) small club all the time and we have lots of plans for the future (we are joining forces with similar organizations in France and Japan). We hope you will visit our website(www2.dk-online.dk/users/danish_friends/index.html), and we would be thrilled if you would send us a word (dkfriend@post7.tele.dk or my e-mail address).

We will of course include a link to this website on our website, and as soon as I can get hold of a copy of your new album we will do a review.

Sincerely your

Comments: I had the privilege of meeting Michael Johnson at the BWI airport about a week ago. I am by no means the kind of person to go up to a celebrity and introduce myself; mainly because few of them really do anything for me. However, I have such respect and admiration for Michael Johnson's work, that I felt like I just had to thank him. At 36 years of age I'm not a kid who simply wanted to meet a star. I didn't want to impose, but again, I just had to thank him for all of the wonderful and moving music as well as his articles on the topic of songwriting. To Mr. Johnson wherever you are sir, again, I thank you.

Comments: Michael,

I caught your performance with Mack Bailey at the King of France Tavern, Annapolis, MD. It was fantastic! I was there to see Mack (a friend of mine), not knowing who he was performing with. Once you began to play and sing, I immediately recognized your distinct and wonderful sound. At the very beginning of your first set, I had to enlighten my party that we were in the presence of a fantastic performer (not that Mack isn't). I would like to catch up on your recording accomplishments since the 70's. Where can I purchase your CD's? I have not been able to find them in the Washington, D.C area. You said that you have produced 14 of them. Being a musician, I am ashamed that I do not own any of them.

Help me catch up!

Thanks,

Steve Putman (301)274-0770

P.S. During the set break, did you really step outside to smoke a cigar? If so, what brand? It would make a great article for letter for Cigar Aficionado.

Comments: I've been a fan of your music since I saw you in a coffee shop in Brookings South Dakota probably in about 1975 or so. We recently moved to Houston and I came across two albums, Dialogue & the Michael Johnson Album. Unfortunately my turntable does not work at the moment, but I do have some tunes on tape. I would really like to find some of your new and old tunes on CD's. I have one song that has stuck in my mind for 20+ years, I sing it when I'm enjoying life "Ain't Dis Da Life" delux - I think. My wife has only heard your albums, but I recall this song from hearing you in person. She believes we had this one on a album, but I think it's just from me singing it over the 15 years we have been married. Some of my fav songs are "Dancin' Tonight", "Twenty-Five Words or Less", and "Blackmail" and one I recall from your live performance called "drop the big one now". Anyway, it is great to see this page on the web and I look forward to finding more of your EXCELLENT music in the stores and maybe sometime soon I can find you in person. Just missed you, as we were in Alamosa, Colorado about the time you performed in Colorado. If you see this note, Thanks for the great music. Keep it coming.

Comments: Michael,

I can only hope that you do read these from time to time. Since 1978, (I was only 11) I knew I had come across quite a talent. You are one of my musical heroes. Your writing, phrasing and overall playing are nothing but top notch. Being in the music biz myself it really aggravates me that artists such as yourself do not get the respect you truly deserve. I have a friend that works for MS Distribution in Chicago, his name is Steve Gloss and he told me you might be getting the rights to put out your EMI material. Is this a possibility? Please come to Chicagoland soon. By the way I am a huge fan of the WestCoast Sound, session vets like Bill Champlin, Bobby Caldwell, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Randy Goodrum (I think you know him), Ricky Petersen, etc. and I just wanted to tell you that "Lifetime Guarantee" is a classic west-coast album. I know that was a little different recording for you but I just wanted to let you know that I have turned many people on to that release. Thanks for all the great music!

A huge fan,

Comments: Okay, here's my story : being a boy aged 16 I found my first Michael Johnson-album in Tenerife, Spain ... pure luck ... I sometimes tend to just try. Back home in Berlin I totally fell for his music.
Good luck was, there used to be a shop here in Berlin, providing country music and specials from the US. I ordered all of Michael's albums available at that time and was lucky enough to find the CD's that have been released ever since. Oh, how happy I am I found this page!
Two questions, that somebody probably knows the answers to:
1.) I've heard Michael's recent release was a Christmas' album. (???)
2.) Was the Michael McDonald, that Michael collaborated with on the composing of "Let Me Go Back Home" from the "Home Free" album the well-knows former Doobie Brothers- and Steely Dan-member who is also known for his many duets with people such as Patti LaBella, James Ingram, David Pack ? That's what I would guess, as Michael had also worked with Randy Goodrum and other assorted cracks.
I love your music and I hope there are tons of music ahead, we all may look forward to .... Frankie

Last Old Town School performance I asked you why that "Love is a Cross" song wasn't on the new CD. Sorry, this is your best CD that I have heard. I've tried a number of times to figure out how you play "Unconditionally" but can't quite get it.

I was moved by your monologue about when to quit. May I say that my new wife and myself love you as a performer and can't wait until you come back (Still trying to figure out why you were a warm-up for that girl). We don't see many live acts anymore (getting old?-38) but every time you are here we're so excited to hear you play. So, please, please don't quit! You provide a lot of joy for a lot of people with your gift. There's a core of about 6 of us that always go to see you when you are here, and you have provided all of us with very moving performances.

Comments: Michael, I've been a fan since the 70s. I've called dozens, literally "dozens," of music stores for your earlier material. My "Michael Johnson Album" cassette has finally gone South. And, through a series of moves, I've misplaced your other casettes.

Is it true that your earlier material is out of print (on CD)? I was able to fine "one" of your songs on a compilation CD ("Hits of the 70s, Vol. 21,") which only had "Bluer Than Blue." But how do I get digital copies of your other music?

I am so damned annoyed that these "music stores" don't carry your CDs.

Comments: Hi Michael & Michael's Fans-

I also am a longtime fan. I believe I saw Michael first at Ravinia Park near Chicago (perhaps a singer/songwriter extravaganza-heard Red Grammer there for the 1st time too). At any rate, I also really, really enjoyed seeing Michael at the Rockford Folk Festival in 1994(?). At Rockford, the workshops were in a little church-no amplification required. Michael sang and talked (with two others) about his craft. 'Twas truly a blessing to have been there.

Here's my question: I can't get several of the songs from the "Ain't Dis Da Life" album out of my head-even after all these years. PLEASE, please reissue the old albums on CD. I have the records, but I also have kids and a dog. I love them all (records, kids, dogs, etc.), but they're not compatible. Enjoy the new stuff too, but Michael is best in person!! Those records are close.

Acoustically,

Steve

I'm a long time admirer & fan.Had only one opportunity to see him live in the mid-80's at an outdoor country music festival in So. California & was immediately taken in by his unique voice & polished delivery.In less than 10 minutes I realized that he was probably THE most underrated guitarist in pop/country music ~ his abilities far beyond the somewhat narrow confines of these two musical genres. In short,a true artist with that indefinable "it" that separates the truly talented from the also-rans.

Comments: Back in 1973, a good friend gave me one of his extra copies of "There Is A Breeze". I was impressed by Michael's singing and playing, and went on over the next several years to seek out "Ain't This Da Life" and "For All You Mad Musicians". These are still some of my favorite records of all time.

Which is why it disappoints me so to come to this site and verify that the Michael Johnson who made THOSE records is the same Michael Johnson who did "Bluer Than Blue". Though I'm glad that a guy who gave me so much musical pleasure finally made some real dough in the business, I still don't care for the smarmy AOR sound of "Bluer...".

When John Lennon met Elvis Presley in the 60s, he told Elvis that he would like it if he went back to making his old kind of record. Of course, by then Elvis was so far in the Colonel's pocket that this would never happen. Many of you Michael fans may disagree, but this is the challenge I extend to Michael.

It's not just that I prefer that sound, but that he was one of my favorite musicians until "Bluer...".

Comments: Great new album. I was expecting to hear the old versions of the hits with just one new cut (s.o.p. for "Greatest Hits" packages), but was pleasantly surprised to hear all the new treatments. The intimacy of the production took me back to those cold January evenings in college when Mr. Johnson would play his annual concert at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, MN. Now....what do you think the chances would be of something along the lines of a box set with most or all of the earlier albums included? Sure would be nice to hear "Ain't Dis Da Life" without all the surface noise that's crept on to my LPs (look it up, young ones!) over the years.

Comments: Dear Michael,

Ever since I heard Bluer Than Blue I have been a fan of yours. I have all of your CDs and I love your voice, guitar and music. It is very annoying to me that no radio station in the area plays your stuff and that I have to play your CDs for friends in order for them to know who you are and what you sound like. Thank goodness my husband keeps track of every new CD release and buys me my favorites when they come out. He just got me Then & Now last Tuesday when it came out and I have been playing it non-stop. We were both a little skeptical about a "remake" CD, but boy were we wrong. This CD is now my favorite of yours. The simplicity of the songs is perfect, and your voice and guitar have never sounded better. For some reason when I hear the beginning of Almost Like Being in Love, I feel like crying (I still don't know why). I'll Always Love You is beautiful, and reminds me of something Don McLean could have sung around the time of "And I Love You So". You and Allison Kraus are a perfect fit on Whenever I Call You Friend. I have Kenny Loggins' version and like it, but the simpler, slower style of yours is much more my style and the harmonies are a treat to listen to. Boy do I wish I could see you in concert, but according to the schedule I'm not one of the lucky ones. We live about 25 miles from Philadelphia, and 90 miles from New York, which is where I would hope to find you one of these days. Are you ever on TV shows that I may be missing? It's so hard to find the artists I like since they don't fall into a set category like country, rock, etc. I am also a big fan of Maura O'Connell, Mary Black, Cheryl Wheeler, Greg Trooper, Rosanne Cash and Gary Frenay -- artists who are hard to find on radio stations or in concert halls, at least where I live. I am grateful for the ICE newsletter which tells us about all new releases, regardless of what type of music, so that I can buy my favorite music and listen to my heart's content. My husband and I have about 4,000 CDs (mostly rock, folk, and strange imports) and people think we are crazy for spending so much money on music (but hey, there are worse things to spend money on, right?). Thank you for giving me so much happiness over the years and thanks especially for this latest CD, which has given me so much joy over the past couple of weeks. Please know that your music really touches people like me, and we feel very fortunate that you are out there sharing your gift with us. Please try to get to the Philadelphia area one of these days, or let me know where I can see (hear) you on TV or radio. Thank you again for the music.
Take care, and have a good fall. - ilene

I heard you do a show one night at an Elk's Club, or was it a Moose Club, or was it.... oh to hell with it, it was some kind of damn club full of inebriated California cowboys, in San Luis Obispo, CA. I still tell people that it was the most amazing, hardest rocking show I have ever seen by a solo performer. And I still mean it. You had those folks eating out of your hand. Glad to see you're soldiering on. Nice web site. Clean design. Glad to hear you're trying to secure the rights for some of your old recordings. I got separated from my copy of There Is a Breeze a long time ago, and I've missed it ever since. I'll bet the saga of trying to obtain the rights is worthy of an article of the cautionary sort, aimed at naive young performers. I see you're going to Alaska. Vancouver is on the way. How many butts in how many seats does it take to get you to town?
Best of luck. Jeff Hickey

Source of site: I looked for it. (Yahoo helped)
Comments: I first heard "For All You Mad Musicians" while attending Lawrence University in Appleton, WI in the fall of 1976. I was a young folkie, looking for good material.

I moved to Minneapolis in '78, and spent more time than I'd like to admit sitting with my guitar in my girlfriend's car outside a bungalow on Tonkawood Trail (for a longer story, ask me how I got the address) trying to get my courage up enough to go to the door.

I never did.

The first live concert for me was at St. Catherine's in St. Paul. It was damn near twenty below. And just before the encore of "Here Comes the Sun", came the observation that "...A guy with a set of jumper cables could make a few extra bucks tonight."

I performed a couple of times at the Trempealeau Hotel, and got to know Bill & Jim a bit. When they leased the Rivoli Theater in La Crosse for concert events, and the first performer was MJ, I told Bill King that I couldn't afford to pay him very much to let me be the opening act. (Smith & Mayer opened instead, but I got to see the concert.)

So, anyway, to make a long story...

I've sung tons of your songs. Now, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and will probably have to slow (if not cease) performing.

I'd like to play for you.

Gimme a call, we'll have a cup of coffee or something.

Comments: I learned a lot watching that show... I knew the songs that were mentioned; knew them and loved them - but I never knew you wrote some of them! Especially "Bluer Than Blue"... I've sung that with the radio myself, many times over... I never drove a Volkswagon though! That wasn't me at the red light years ago! One thing I'm going to do after seeing you on "Today's Country" is to look for more of your music - I'd love to hear more of the classical stuff... I'm into all kinds of music. I started a little regional music magazine from home a couple of years ago, and I've had country, rock, gospel, and heavy metal all in the same issue. Most of the artists in my magazine are unsigned talent - I'm trying to be sort of a stepping stone for new artists. I've also had interviews with more established artists, such as Billy Greer of KANSAS, and STRUTTER, a KISS tribute band. I must admit, an issue featuring an interview with Michael Johnson would be VERY nice... not to drop hints or anything... but seriously - if there's any possibility of that happening, please let me know - I'd be thrilled to feature you in my magazine! You can check out my home page on AOL - it's got some basic information about it (Soundcheck Magazine), and I could also mail you a copy to look over if you want. My home page is members.aol.com/bevbrooks/index.html at least I think I've got that right... it's bad when you're not sure how to get to your own webpage! About the magazine - my circulation isn't very high, but I try to make sure each issue looks better than the last. I'm not doing this for money; I'm doing what I love best... music, writing and photography... plus I now have 3 part-time jobs besides the magazine!!! It's rough getting started, isn't it? It's all worth it in the long run though - maybe I'll be one of those lucky few who can do what they love most and make a living at it. Don't care if I get rich from it or not - I just want to be able to say I believe in what I'm doing. Whew - guess I'd better step down from my soapbox now and send this... thank you for taking the time to read this over, and I hope to hear from you sometime in the near future! Take care... Beverly

I love your voice/phrasing/guitar work!!!

I'm happy that I've come across this web-site---I wish you'd come to Hawaii to do a concert.

There are many songs that I think are classics such as Bluer than Blue, Rosalee, I'll Always Love You, Dirty Hands and Dirty Faces. There were many times that I'd play all of your albums in a row during listening sessions!

Comments: I don' t know where to begin except to say you and I have a history that goes back to 1978 and "bluer"...I was an 18 year old DJ who was one of many who played it on pop music; but I was really taken in by your music...I bought your 1974 (or '73) album and have just today bought "Then & Now". I followed the move to country willingly and was really impressed with your interpretation of the genre...my elation has indeed been grand with all of your music, even "Lifetime Guarantee"!! Thank you so much and I hope to one day get to hear you live. I'd really like a tour list if available to be present at a show.
Thank you for all the fine music!!

Comments: My brother and I used to play around the house singing "That's That" and "Give Me Wings" when we were in elementary school. He used to shut me up and turn up the radio: "Shhhhh...It's Michael Johnson!" I'm a 21 yr. old student/guitarist/DJ at Cal State Univ. Long Beach now and have been in search of reproductions that are no longer in print. I saw you play with Alison Krauss at the Wiltern in LA in '96 and was flooded with old memories of your music playing in our house. You truly are one of the best singer/songwriting guitarists I've seen live. I rushed out to buy "Departure" and just recently bought "Then & Now" as soon as I saw it in the stores. I play tracks from both CDs on my radio show (KBCH college radio.) I hope those old albums can be recovered. I'm a devoted fan and want to say THANKS FOR THE GRACE AND BEAUTY OF YOUR MUSIC...

Michael gave a concert at the college during this time and I have never forgotten him or his music. I only hope that there may be a concert out in the Central California area sometime in the next few years.

I ,too, am looking for some of the recordings currently out of print. Thanks for trying to get the masters. Keep us informed on your progress.

Just a thought: What do you think about a collaboration of some sort between Michael and Kenny Rankin? (Both on vocals and both on guitar.)

Anyway, thanks to Michael for years of enjoyable music. His work has made many tough times just a bit more bearable. I truly appreciate his efforts over the years.

Thank you Michael and all the best to you in the future.

As a musician myself, I ask myself if music really "helps" people. So, I think it fair to let you know that your song (I WIll Whisper Your Name) is responsible for a healthy, wonderful marriage (going on 2 1/2 yrs.) While in college, my husband sang the song to me. I had never heard it before and instantly fell in love with it (and him! :) We weren't able to play the song in the wedding, a dream of my husband's; but this will be a great christmas for him; he'll finally have a copy of "our song". Thank you for creating such beautiful music. Keep it up!!!
Sincerely,
April Estes

Ps. Good luck with the new album with Alison Krauss.
Pss. Just a tip: it took me about 10 hours to finally find your site. You might want to label it "M.Johnson, musician" or something for easier access for others. Or, perhaps we could wipe out all the 'M. Johnson, athlete' iformation!! (HaHa)

I had hoped to hear more of the older material from "Breeze" or "Mad Musicians", the only real oldy was "On the Road"- and believe it or not Carl Franzen (the writer of the song) was in the audience!

Comments: I was born in late '62. I've followed your music since 1976. I grew up in Memphis, TN until the summer of '76 when we, (my family), moved to Corinth, MS. I've seen you play only once. It was a free concert on the steps of the Student Union at "Ole Miss" in the early 80's. It was a cold night, and you were having a hard time trying to keep your fingers and your strings warm enough to play/produce a good sound. Only a handful of students came to see/hear you, due to the cold weather.
Still, you were gracious enough to play for almost two hours as you sat their and froze half-to-death. The sound of your voice and your guitar made me forget how cold I was. (I was embarassed that so few students showed up.) I persuaded four friends to come with me to hear you, and they were "converted" by your playing, your singing, your gentle sense of humor, and your warmth and sincerity. The very next day, they were in the record stores buying everything they could find with the name "Micahel Johnson" on it. (I already owned every LP you had up to that point...either on vinyl or 8-track or cassette. The 8-tracks, of course, are shot-to-hell-and-gone, and I lent the vinyls to my cousin, who lost every-damned-one of 'em. Other than your two most current CD's, (Departure and Then & Now), the only album I still have is a cassette of "Lifetime Guarantee"...and it's just about ready to give up the ghost. Please, please, please try your best to obtain the masters to all your recordings. I'll be the first in line to buy CD copies. Each of the songs are absolute jewels written by good songwriters,(including the ones you've written, either by yourself or in collaboration) and performed with simple beauty and honesty. Thank you so much for touching me with all the songs you've sung over the years. (One of my favorites is "Who's That Look In Your Eye"..."Distant Fire" is also a gem, as well as "Dirty Hands & Dirty Faces". (And the "hits" are great, too...such as "Bluer Than Blue", "That's That", and "Give Me Wings".)
I've danced with a lot of ladies, sat on a lot of porch swings, gotten drunk a few times, travelled thousands of miles along a lot of highways, dreamed a lot of daydreams, taken a lot of walks with a Sony "walkman" and gazed at a lot of sunsets and golden-silver moons while listening to your music. Thank you for each-n-every song. (I'm a true-blue, quiet, loyal follower of your music and of artists such as Dan Fogelberg, Kenny Loggins, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Steven Bishop, etc.) If/when you do acquire the masters to your older LP's, please let me know.

Comments: Hi Michael--
We saw you at Ted Mann--thanks for another great show. I stayed and met you later--I'm the one who made a lame joke about the show being as comfortable as Christmas at Grandma's--only without that funny smell. Sorry for that. As much as I have enjoyed and appreciated your music over the past 20+ years, I think I could have done a little better, but spontaneity is not necessarily my forte.

Anyway, thanks again. I hope all is well for you.
I wish you the best of luck in acquiring the master of the old recordings. Some of my vinyl of the first albums is starting to show its age.

If you could, can you tell me the title of two songs?
One you said you taught to John Denver and the end of the lyrics is "will I ever see another butterfly"?
The other you did as an encore and the lyric is something to the effect of "don't look for love, love looks for you"? Thanks, I have always loved both these songs, and hope you will record them one day.

Best wishes in the New Year, and thanks for all the good times listening,

Scott Julian

Comments: We saw you at the Ted Mann Auditorium on the 26th. Great Concert! We could listen to your music and watch you play the guitar all night! 2 hours seemed like 15 minutes!!!That is a nice place to have the concert. I plan to make your holiday concert a standing event on the calendar each year from now on!!! Your music/lyrics/ and great sense of humor made the night memorable for all of us. Thanks.

Comments: We saw your day after Christmas concert again this year, and I certainly feel this was the best I've been to (and I've been to the six or so). I had a brief discussion with you in the Northwest check-in line about a eighteen months ago, and you said that the December '96 concert was to be your last one. I'm glad that wasn't the case. The new venue is a nice improvement...somewhat intimate, comfortable. The sound was good (the second half, at least) and I really like the solo act better than the band.
Thanks for another wonderful show. The new CD is great. See you next year!

Comments: Dear Michael, I don't remember when I enjoyed music as much as I enjoyed your "Now and Then" CD. It was fantastic! It was kind of funny. The store had it in the classical guitar section of CD's, I quess because you are pictured with your classical on cover. I didn't know you played one. I thought for a minute that you did a classical intrumental album but I was pleasantly surprised to hear your voice come through. I really enjoy your singing as well as your guitar work. Your Khono sounds great! I am a singer and guitarist and often accompany myself on an Alvarez Yari classical and it was wonderful to hear someone of your caliber to come out with something like your "Now and Then" CD. When are you going to make it out to the San Francisco Bay area. Villa Montalvo would be a great venue for you. Come soon and keep up the great work. Are there any charts available for some of the songs on "Now and Thjen"? God bless, Frank Monahan

Thanks for all the memories. Your music has had an impact on me and my life. After hearing your new album, I need to go out and buy a needle so I can play the old albums! I know my kids will laugh when I dig them out. They laugh at me when I play "Rooty-Toot-Toot for the Moon". It was one of the first real songs I learned to play.

Thanks again.

Comments: I have been a fan for about nine years now. I am only twenty-two, so that has been a huge portion of my life. Never in my life have I been so impressed with an artist. With Michael Johnson you hear it like it is, whether you are listening to his music or direct quotes. Genuineness of this degree is certainly not the norm in today's society. It's great to see that there are still people out there who believe in honesty and sincerity. Michael, as long as you keep on doing what you do, I will keep listening.
Thank you,

As always, this year's concert at the Ted Mann Theater in Minneapolis was wonderful. We were in the 4th row, center stage! We all look so forward to your concerts. I have had, on two occasions, the pleasure of meeting and talking with you. Even had my picture taken with you a couple of years ago at the Minnesota State Fair. Didn't get the chance to talk to you at this year's concert though. Too long of a line. Would love the chance to chat again. I would like to say how sorry I am to hear about your brother. I hope and trust you have a great year and I look forward to any new releases (or old ones) that become available. Why is it that so many of your albums are out of print? Take care. Shawn

Comments: I've been a fan for 14 years. As a student at Gustavus Adolphus College and later, a resident of Minneapolis, I never missed your concert at Bjorling Concert Hall (or early on, the hall above the student union!). After I moved to Maryland, I started attending your December 26th concert in Minneapolis when I was home for Christmas, introducing husband to the "magic of MJ" (Phil is a fingerstyle guitarist as well). We saw you this year at Ted Mann Hall, and as always, it was a thrill! You signed my CD afterwards, and I asked if you ever played out East. You mentioned the King of France club in Annapolis, and you can be sure I'll watch for you, but your performance schedule doesn't show much out this way. Last year I even wrote to The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA and suggested that they book you to play there. (They had one of the Mitchell Trio albums in their record store downstairs.) There is a great folk music culture in the DC/Baltimore area and I know a lot of people who would love to hear you play, and would come to a concert, even if they didn't realize how much they will love your music! Please consider playing somewhere else in the vicinity -- May's Coffeehouse in Timonium? The Barns at Wolftrap? A house concert at our house? (had to ask). I'll keep an eye on your schedule, but if not sooner, see you next Christmas! -Ann

Comments: Hi Michael! It was nice to get the postcard last week...
I had just been wondering about what you've been up to when I got it.
I then found your WEB page and decided to take in the Cafe Carp show in Fort Atkinson on the 23rd. See you there!

P.S. On your "Then and Now" album, what about way back then??

Just for fun, and because I wanted to make recordings from my albums while I still could, I put together my own 90-minute "Greatest Hit" tape last year. Its mostly from pre-1980...and some great stuff!!!

You mentioned once to me, I think up in Barron, WI 2 years ago that you might be able to make me a real time tape of There Is A Breeze.. Would you still be able to do that? I'd be glad to cover any costs. I've had a hell of a time getting a good recording of that album, even off an unopened album that I recently bought through a music magazine. We bought unopened albums had cd's made of your first three albums, but "There Is A Breese" is still distorted in spots.

If you could make me a tape, I'd be forever grateful! If not, I guess That's That..
Thanks Michael

Source of site: I have just gone on line and was informed by a friend that most artists have sites. I basically searched for the name.
Comments: I find this whole internet thing quite the experience. For several years I have been a fan of Michael Johnson's music. I first became aware of him of course, around 1979. I was listening to a more adult contemporary radio format of music and "Bluer Than Blue" caught my ear. I was also in radio working at my University station here in Toronto.
Although I was not into purchasing albums at that time I did manage to pick up all of the singles that were released in Canada. By far my most favourite song is "The Very First Time." For many years I have considered this song my romantic inspirational anthem.
When the world was introduced to CD's I hoped that Michael Johnson's earlier music would soon be available. After searching for years I finally found Rhino Records which helped with the more successful singles; however, I have been waiting for my favourite song.
My original 45 copy was kept in as 'mint' a condition as possible. It was only hauled out when I needed to strike that romantic chord with someone. Alas, during a move the 45 went bye-bye.
However, thanks to the internet, my partner was able to find a record dealer in Arizona who was able to sell me a copy. It is a double sided Radio copy on the original label. I have not played this copy.
I am hoping that by writing to whomever gets this email you might be able to tell me if a copy of "The Very First Time" exists on CD and where I might get my hands on it. I know that late last year a 'Greatest Hits' compilation was released with the pop as well as country hits was released. I was extremly dissappointed that my song was not included. I realize that the song did not chart in the U.S. . However, I believe that Canadian radio did give the song a good run.
Not only am I pleased for this opportunity to contact Michael Johnson regarding one particular song I am also sending out a thank you as well.
For some reason singer/songwriters in the years 1979, 80, 81 gave all music lovers a break from Disco by going back to romance. Music is and always will be a big part of my life and certain songs such as "The Very First Time" have remained for eighteen years.
I really hope you can help me out.
With Regards

I also got the pleasure to meet and talk to you on two seperate occasions. The most recent was at the MN State Fair. We chatted while you signed your CD for me. "Departure" had just come out. The first time was in Hutchinson, MN when I was in junior high, oh about 15 years ago. You signed a t-shirt for me. You wrote, "I waited and waited. Where were you?". Neither of us knew why you wrote that. You said that it was just the first thing that popped into your head. Then when you signed my "Depature" cd, I related this story to you. You then simply wrote "Finally." This is my one and only Michael Johnson anecdote, but it remains a very pleasant and cherished memory. I love the fact that you are so open to your audience. It makes us feel closer to you and your work.
Take care and keep playin'! Sara

Comments: Thank you VERY much for autographing the cd my sister Judy bought at your Minneapolis concert recently! She sent it to me for my birthday (1/19), and I was thrilled not just with the "Happy birthday, Marilyn. Michael Johnson", but your music, and the fact that there is more to add to my collection. I've been a fan since I saw you perform at the student union at Northern State College, Aberdeen, SD, fall 1971. I even got up the nerve to come up to you afterward, and tell you how much I enjoyed your playing. I had hoped to get "There is a Breeze" and "For all you Mad Musicians" in tape/cd or whatever format is available, and am sad to learn this isn't possible. I played "...Breeze" so much that it is very badly scratched and worn. I've gone to your appearances as much as I could, including another appearance at Aberdeen in 1972, the Iowa Peace Chattauqua in Des Moines in 1984 (I took all my album jackets for you to sign, which you did very graciously.), the Omaha auto show several years ago, and the NE State fair a couple summers ago. I am shocked to see that I missed getting "Home Free" since I was sure I'd gotten all your albums over the years. I hope so much that you are able to reissue any/all of the early ones; my old records are in sad,sad shape, and I miss being able to hear the songs that I loved so much. Do you have any t-shirts?? When I went to the auto show, there was only one left, and I let a young woman who'd come 400 miles to hear you have it instead of fighting her for it. I sent in the postcard I was given to get another one, but never got a reply. Sorry...I didn't mean to write a book, but I've carried your music around in my heart and head for a very long time. I'm glad you're still following your dream.

Comments: Michael,

I was fortunate enough to have bought a "Best of Michael Johnson" CD while it was still available several years ago. It has remained one of my favorite albums of all time. Music means a lot of different things to different people, but no other album has had such a profound impact on my life as this has. A singer/writer/player myself, I sang "I Will Whisper Your Name" at my own wedding.

My wife and I were thrilled to happen across "Then & Now" on a store shelf last week. It's great to hear your voice again. (And the new arrangements/guitar work are GREAT!) Now, I'm happy to have found this web connection to let you know in what a special way you have touched 2 more people's lives. Thank you.

I am mailing an order for "Departure" and can't wait to hear it! Do you perform live? The answer may be somewhere on this web site. I'll look. If so, we would love to find a way to experience your live performance.

Whoah! I'm starting to sound like a "fan" here. Better go before I get too mushy. Thanks again!

You've created one of the best and most informative web sites I've had the pleasure to use. Your links are terrific and easy to navigate. Of course I'm biased since I'm a huge Michael fan, but I really appreciate all the information and the obvious improvements you make from time to time. The lyrics from the Album Discography page are a nice touch.

Comments: I'm a Minneapolis boy and have been a fan since the early 70's. "Departure" was simply great, as is everything else of yours that I have been able to find. Your old albums were so beautiful it seems a shame they are no longer available. I've been recording tapes of them now for the last 15 years and they're starting to get a little scratchy. I'm very interested in reading that you're trying to acquire the masters for these to re-release them on CD. I will be watching your page and will be purchasing any CD's that become available.

Comments: Love to see our favorite performer in the world has a site now! We have seen MJ five times, and desperately want to see more shows. MJ is one of the finest song craftsmen ever, without regard to genre. I have never seen better concerts, with more real personality, than his. The first time we saw him was at an outdoor concert in Sandpoint, Idaho, on MJ's birthday. We sat in a park by the lake, with the sun setting over the mountains, he sang and we were hooked! Since then, we have brought everybody we care about to share in every concert we could attend. Our autographed album is a prized possesion. Please,sir, come to the Northwest again, so we can revel in your music again. Thank-you! Jeff and Lisa Davis

Comments: I have loved your music since I first heard you in the mid seventies. You are one of the first musicians to help me see that there could be music after the Beatles! In a smaller way than you, I have moved people with my voice and guitar too. In my twenties and thirties my focus was in working for social justice. And now, approaching 47, I have become burned out and somewhat cynical. I wish I had made the choice to soothe peoples pain, or, affirm their joy and hope through music instead of my chosen path. I recently looked for your older music and found that it was not published anymore. I sought out and found two of your albums I had given away about 10 years ago. They are still great and I hope to learn a few of your songs. Maybe that will bring back some of the passion for music I miss. Peace and the best of luck to you.

Your concerts are as much a part of our xmas as snow and turkey so please keep them coming. I hope all is well with you and your family.
I would like to obtain all your works on CD and for my daughters as well. How is the battle going to obtain the masters? Will you email list when ready? Did you reconcile with your wife? Will I grow old gracefully? These are the questions of the day. I look forward to hearing from and seeing you soon. Good Luck!

Comments: Michael-I just dubbed a copy of the '84 Christmas concert off cities 97. Despite the fact that I have seen you almost every year since '79, I never realized how many of the songs I love so much aren't on any recording. Maybe if the recovery of the masters from the old recordings doesn't happen any time soon, perhaps a live recording would be an alternative. As much as I love all the studio efforts, it was and is the live performances that have always been special for me. I would love to have recordings of Catch Another Butterfly, Don't Look for Love, Livin' In the Best Years of Our Lives, and many, many others I have only heard performed live. Just a suggestion... no matter what, thanks for all the great music over the years and in time to come.

I can't believe I found this web page. It was a wild hope, but I found it right away. I am a 37 year old youth pastor that has vivid memories of a time when I was young and impetuous and was introduced to your music, "Bluer than Blue." It touched me and became a sound track to my life as a confused college student. It really became a comfort to me because of its pure melodies and honest message for the lover in me of life, music and romance. I became qickly attached to all your albums and bought most of them but can't play them any more without a long play record player. I did collect "That's That" and "Wings" but rarely see any or your CDs out here in L.A. area. Anyway I am moved by your work, thank you for staying true to your art so I can benefit.

My big hope and motivation for research was to learn that you have remastered all your work into CDs. I am depressed after reading that all those albums are now out of print and unavailable. I would buy all your CDs when you do secure the rights and re-release them. I know others too. Please put me on a "first to know list" when this event takes place.

sincerely,
Doug Mace

As a long time fan, (my son likes some of your stuff) I'm sorry to hear about the pain in your life. Having gone through a divorce, it was actually difficult to attend your Christmas concerts because so many of the songs you sing were dealing with relations. You didn't want a grown man crying in the middle of your songs.
Hey, there are some pretty awesome people in Franklin. Do you know Phil Keaggy, Wes King, or Michael Card? All top notch singing, song writing, excellent guitar players. Check them out if you have the inclination. Good friends can help you get through all the garbage that's going on. Don't try to do it alone. (sorry! I know I'm not your mother)
I hope that your crud goes away quickly and that your feeling well soon. Thanks for the many years of music and the 40 or 50 concerts that I got to hear you in. (in about a 15 year period)
Sincerely,
Jeff Corrigan

Comments: Back in the late 70's we were newly married and raising our children. I was a resident in OB/GYN at the time and spent my spare time listening to music. Bluer than Blue was a hit at the time and we loved the song. My wife bought me your albums that were out at the time and we listened to them constantly. (and still do quite often) We would rock our kids to sleep with your songs. In fact, one of my fondest memories involves rocking my first daughter to sleep with your music. I put on The Michael Johnson Album and as the song played my one year old looked up at me and said "been". She was referring to "What a night this has been" She referred to the song by the last word of the first line. As I said my children (now adults) grew up on your music and often ask if we could go to see you in concert. We'd love to know where and when you appear in the NY metro area.

Many years ago, I discovered your music. Had heard songs on the radio, and completely fell in love with your voice and style.

Bought 2 LP's and listened to them until they were no longer playable, and completely worn, out. Since then the turntable died, and decided to get CD's of your work. Was very disappointed to find that everything was out of print.

We then bought a computer, and since I have now learned to use it, went into the Music Blvd. site, and found 2 CD's which I immediately purchased. Decided to try AOL net find, and here you are, and here I am.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am that after so long, I will soon be in possession of your vocal, and accoustical tallents. Please If you read this, know that I will be stopping into your website from time to time, to visit my old friend.......

If time permits, please feel free to answer this note. It would thrill me very much.

Hope to see you in Galesville, WI when you are there........

I hope everything's well with you, or at least you're hanging in there. You've always been a fighter; I understand that times have been tough on you, but you've come this far.

I know that you're still trying to get your early albums back. Keep the faith, man. But I know of another way that can be of help.

We, the fans, can help.

You and we can organize a letter-writing campaign to help you get your early albums back. And I'm willing to lead or co-lead the campaign. Grassroots organizing can work. My background in this plus journalism -- print and broadcasting -- can help.

Some of the other fans and I are tired of kicking ourselves because we:
1) Keep cursing ourselves for being born too late to buy your albums/CDs/cassettes when they were out in the records shelves, or...
2) Remember you when we were little kids, but didn't catch on until recently, after having flashbacks of "Bluer Than Blue" increase in frequency (I'm guilty of this one), or...
3) Overplayed the vinyl and/or cassettes. Painful....

You're doing your damnedest to help us. Why not let us help you?

All the best,

Genett Mills

P.S.: I wanted to invite you to my wedding to perform and to stuff you with good ol' Filipino grub (yes, including the lechon!). But I checked your "Performance Schedule," and you're in Minnesota the day before my wedding.

We used to hear you perform at Holstein's in Chicago, and I have a tape from a WFMT broadcast of one of those concerts. I fondly remember you singing "My Old Yellow Car" and many others. I was so happy to find this web site, and have just purchased your latest CD, Then and Now...IT IS GREAT and brought back alot of memories. I sure hope that you can re-release all your old albums again, cause there are a few I don't have, and the LP's are pretty scratchy. My sister and I are also looking forward to your concert in Rockford, IL on March 21! I am so glad I stumbled across this and can't believe that you have a concert in our area again. Can't wait to see you!

Comments: Been hoping for years for a compilation of Michael's music from over the years. Didn't want to buy collections with only one of Michael's songs on them. As soon as I saw Then & Now I bought it. Don't get me wrong, I love the way Michael spins a song, always have, but the new renditions of Bluer Than Blue and This Night Won't Last Forever were really disappointing. My two favorite singers from the late '70's and early '80's were Michael and Paul Davis, and changing the sound or tempo of those songs seems almost sacrilegious. If Michael ever puts together a collection of the original recordings from the late '70's, I want to know!

It was one of those surprising experiences of recognizing the songs, but not knowing who performed them. I feel fortunate in "discovering" Michael's music. "Then & Now" is a very nice group of songs.

Comments: Mr. Johnson I sure hope you check your e-mail and respond to it. I am a true devotee. I wrote to you approximately three years ago via snail mail at the address listed within the liner notes of "Departure" at the "Green Hills Station" Post Office Box in Nashville, Tennessee. I never received a reply--I thought you and your music had dropped off the planet. I wish I could immediately find that letter; I would use the same laudatory language as I did then. Many moons ago I was enamored with your guitar style and vocal delivery. I knew then that you were schooled by a "master"--I follow two artists who emulate your style: Michael Tomlinson (he has a website at www.michaeltomlinson.com You might want to read his 'page' describing 'his' problems with the record company sleaze), and David Wilcox--I don't know if you have been compared to him before but he is as deep as you were/are. And can he play the guitar!). Another artist who actually turned me on to your style of playing the guitar as you do is Jose Feliciano--his Feliciano! CD on RCA. Anyhow, I heard your "Michael Johnson Album" and I was blown away! In my letter to you I described how as a rookie patrolman I would bring this album/tape into eating establishments in Red River, NM and would receive offers galore to buy it off me. If they were 'pretty' I would reduce the fee tremendously! If I was in the business of selling records, that record (and Jose's) would have sold a zillion copies. Mr. Johnson please do everything in your power to release--intact--as originally released--onto CD--ALL of your early music. I have taken it upon myself and have written to the record companies about the immoral acts of not releasing their vast catalogs of fine artistry. EMI wrote me back at one time (I still have the letter somewhere) and they were very cold to the idea. I wrote to Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs to inquire as to whether they would buy the rights and re-release the item as one of their "GOLD" discs--it is that worthy! They never responded. Life is to short for the 'stuff' corporate america subjects the citizenry to...Mr. Johnson, I could go on and on and talk about you being from Alamosa, Colorado and playing here in Denver... but I will stop here. Please answer your mail if you see fit. Oh, I am signing up for your newsletter! I am excited I found this site! ...was it here two months ago...?

I have only one of your LP's, but my sister has 5 or 6. We were just talking about some of the performers from those days, and she pulled out her collection. You had autographed one for her with "Thanks for asking" A few days later I went to a specialty CD order store to find if any of your LP's had been converted to CD form and was told no. I also had contacted Stephen Powers from the old Mountain Railroad label a little over a year ago, trying to get my hands on CD's issued off vinyl but was unsuccessful, except for the "Get Folked" issue they had compiled. Soooooo, am very pleased to have found your site, and look forward to getting CD's from you as they become available. Looking forward to Saturday night! Be Well.

Comments: Just wanted to let you know how very much we enjoyed your concert in Mount Prospect on 3/20/98. As usual you were superb.

As I mentioned to you that evening, my husband and I have followed your career since the Earl of Old Town. Our four adult children are also fans of yours. One daughter lives in San Antonio and sees you every year in Kerrville. Our other daughter lives in Iowa and drives in for your concerts in Mount Prospect.

On Friday evening, my husband's cousin (a Jesuit priest) mentioned that having you in Mount Prospect is "like having our own jewel in the midst of Mount Prospect". We eagerly look forward to receiving the announcement of your performance. We do not live in the immediate area of Mount Prospect but rather in a southwest suburb approximately 1 hour away. You are truly worth the trip.

I feel somewhat of a kinship with you. I was born and raised in Willmar Minnesota, and my maiden name was Johnson.

Once again, thank you so much for your talent, enthusiasm and gift of music. Your artistry with the guitar and styling of lyrics are unique only to you. You are truly a "jewel" in the music industry. We are fortunate to have found you many years ago.

Please keep Mount Prospect on your future itineraries.

Thanks for a most delightful evening.

My husband and I have been going to Kerrville for the past few years and I had hoped to see you there. The first year, during a performance by someone of whom I'd never heard, I was over by the booths when the artist said "Thanks to Michael Johnson for joining me on that last number." I couldn't believe I had missed the only number you did that year! Since then, I have checked the schedule religiously in order to figure out when you would be performing, won't be caught off guard again. I'm glad to see you'll be back this year, just hope the weather's nice for you.
See you in Kerrville!

Comments: Mikey---hey old buddy,good to catch up to you after twenty years of diggin' the tunes.Thought I joined the band wagon from the get-go,but just today realized I'm about the first three albums shy of the whole collection.Sounds like those LP's would suit my sense of your unique style better than the more recent country-flavored approach (just read thru all your e-mails.) Put me down for a BIG YES to all your re-issues.Can't figure out dem record company execs,'course,can't see 'em to get an idea,as their head's so far up their asses!!!

Had a job where I could sing your songs all day while I drove around deliverin' water,and sang some to the ladies too; and reflected alot to the songs,and sang 'em to myself,for me. Of course,Bluer and Almost, but esp., When You Come Home from the MJ album.Next came Dialogue and the songs,This Night,Very First Time,I'll Always,and the powerful Doors, along with the unexpected poignancy of She Put The Sad.Finally,You Can Call Me Blue,put you on the map for me with,the title song,After You,Savin' It Up,You,Right Thru The Heart, Don't Ask,You Sure Fooled Me. Three very strong albums that hold-up and withstand the march of times,and all those wonderful memories.I thank you,for the first time I'm able to,and I'm hopeful of obtaining these three and the previous three soon,on the CD format.

As an added bonus,while reading your guest book and longing like the others for your body of work to be digitally released,I read where one of my main men from the early seventies, Jimmie Spheeris,will have his catalog made available,so there's hope and promise everywhere.

Stay well old friend,

Please keep trying to get the rights to the Masters and let your fans know when they can get them. 'Almost like being in Love' and 'Give me wings' are always at the top of my list on my DAT tape playings. I've preserved your old albums with a SAE LP Noise Reduction unit to DAT tape thinking I'd never see your old LP's again much less on CD. I lost your 'Wings' CD in a robbery and have never been able to replace it. Anyway bless your music and your spirit Michael.

After nearly 14 years of marriage we are still "Bluer Than Blue" that we cannot find "Michael Johnson" on CD. Our albums remain down in the basement, but without a record player it doesn't do us much good. We have signed up for the newsletter and will wait...hopefully it will not be another 14 years.

Comments: Michael,

If you ever start wondering late at night what has happened to all that great music you recorded, look to the east and listen. I am still addicted to those early albums (77-84). You, in my opinion, struck a cord there. The song writers you used were wonderful and you have the ability to feel their words. I learned alot from your music in those days. Do not get me wrong, I still purchase whatever your release, but I always go back to that era. Those albums are classics to me and still today I am introducing others to them. I hope I have helped you at least buy a few guitar strings through the years..

Any hope of you coming to Florida. I have been a fan since the late 70's and have never seen you live. Sad, isn't it? Of course, now i can keep track of you on the net.

Thanks for all the great music that has turned into great memories.

Comments: Just wanted you to know that my husband and I think you're awesome. My husband introduced me to your music during our courtship and I have been your ardent fan ever since. We've purchased every cassette & CD that we could get our hands on. (My husband even went to South Dakota and purchased one we couldn't find here.) You stopped by our little town a few years ago and gave a wonderful concert. The concert hadn't been advertised very much and the turnout was small, but it didn't seem to bother you -- you were tremendous. I've been to several different concerts and that was the BEST. I'll never forget it. You probably think we're just a hicksville town (and I guess we are) but I want you to know that we really did appreciate your performance. Your are a very talented man and through your wonderful gift bring great pleasure and happiness to many. Thank you and hope to someday see you in person again. We'll be looking for your next CD.

Comments: Ever since buyng his Dialogue album I've been hooked. I still play that old vinyl album all the time and have just transferred it to MiniDisk in case we don't see another release.

When is Michael coming to Long Island? A few years ago he opened for a country act at the Westbury Music Fair and me and my wife went to see him. The main act couldn't match his stuff.

Michael, please come back to Long Island! We live in a beautiful old whaling village--you can stay with us!

I'm also wondering if anyone knows if/where I can get the TAB for "Then and Now". Finally an album that showcases his guitar talents like his older recordings that we fell in love with.

Thanks for some of the most beautiful music we've ever listend to.

Comments: I've been listening to your music for many years. I believe Dialogue was one of the finest albums I've heard. The title song plus the track, "Chairs" were well written and sung.

You have one of the purest voices, I've heard, and I wish some of your older music was on CD. Keep the faith and keep singing.

Comments: Dear Michael,

I first heard of you in the 70's. It started with, just like everybody else- "Blr Thn Blu". Unfortunately that summer I had to go away to Med-school to the Philippines. Boy , talk about being really "Blr Thn Blue... deep deep blue!

So I start school in a really foreign place. ...and here's this girl humming something about a "Door" ..."why did there had to be Doors"

Comments: Hi Michael,

Me and a buddy of mine, which ended up studying at St. Johns University, Collegeville, Minn. and Mary College in Bismark, have been great fans of yours since 1976. My friend even went to a concert of yours, and swears he ended up grabbing a pizza with you and some others. I don't know; a colombian eating pizza with you in Bismark... well I guess that only tells you how small the world really is!!

By patient searching in many a record store I have been able to gather some of your CD recordings: Then & Now (last April in NY; I bought the last two in the store), Departure; The Best Of MJ; and That's That. From the old times I still have (and have to admit treasure) a vinyl version of There is a Breeze. I also had a tape of The MJ Album which got stolen from a car ten years ago (that's the one with Cain's Blood and this other poem referring to the 60's and 70's I guess sexual revolution, which sung about "bodies and bodies like books upon shelves..." right?)

I would love to get my hands on all those recordings I don't still have, hopefully on CD or tape.

Well, there you go, I bet you didn't know you had a fan club in Colombia.

I wish you all the luck and hope to hear from you.

Un abrazo (from your Barcelona days this you remember, no?),

Bernardo

Comments: Your music influenced me.

I was just becoming passionate about the guitar when a high school buddy turned me on to "Mad Musicians." I learned every note.

The Villa-Lobos got me into the U of M.

I have watched from afar over the years, and have appreciated the sense of genuine love for the music that you project. It matters.

Thank you

Comments: First heard Mad Musician and Breeze in mid '70's and liked them immedicately. A friend taped the albums which I now guard with my life; the tape is one of those old Memorex C20r tapes and the sound is not great but it's all I got until I ran into an old friend who surprised himself by having the records and promised me a fresh tape. Obviously, I'd love to have these on CDs and I have searched all over and now I know why I could never find them. I would love to know if/when these are re-issued since I regard these as some of the best albums from end-to-end I have ever heard. Frankly, I was sorry about the direction Michael went with the more country feel and would like to know if any of the newer stuff is a return to these first efforts. Please let me know if there is any new release so I can stop bugging the kids at Best Buy.

Comments: In the summer of 1973, between graduating from high school and attending my first year at Beloit College, I performed in a melodrama here in Lincoln. The show ran for nearly a month at a local bar, so the cast got pretty tight . . . acting and drinking and partying four nights week. I was only 18--the youngest member of the cast--and with all the cast parties and the like the whole experience was a "coming of age" thing for me.

One of the other actors, whose name I do not remember, brought your first album to a cast party one night and we all listened to it. This guy, if I remember correctly, was in the army with you and knew you and liked your music. I did too, and when I went away to college I took your album with me. When For All You Mad Musicians came out I bought it too. These were probably my two favorite albums of that time of my life and I associate them closely with my memories from college days--including some watershed experiences that most kids have when the first go away to school. After a couple of years of school I moved to Lake Vermillion near Tower, MN, where my girlfriend and I lived for an extended summer. We listened to these albums quite often then too.

I have often wondered what happened to your music career. I never knew of your later albums until now, but I am glad to learn that you are still a practicing musician. Since I don't play vinyl anymore I haven't heard some of these wonderful songs for many years, until I listened to the samples provided at this site. Wow, how they rushed back to me! What great music.

I would, of course, like to have these albums on CDs, but I guess that is still something you are working on.

I may just have to go out and buy a record player--if you can still find such things for sale!

Best Regards,
Richard Evnen

Comments: Hi Mr. Johnson.
My first exposure to your music was, the obvious: "Bluer Than Blue". I was rather surprised that "Almost Like Being In Love" wasn't a bigger 'smash' though. I really loved your treatment of that standard. My favorite songs of yours were: "This Night Won't Last Forever" and the flip side of that single, "I Just Can't Say No To You". "Give Me Wings" was quite a strong song as well...aw, damnit, there's so many good ones actually...

I only recently found out that you were a member of the Mitchell Trio with John Denver, whose music I also enjoyed. I miss that mid to late 70's sound very much. I am so stuck on that sound that everything I write sounds like the 70's...
Sure hope you can get licensing for some of your original masters. I'd love to see a nice compilation, and even the original albums in their original sequences - (The "Then & Now" disc is pretty darn good, though.)

I appreciate your gifts; smooth and soothing voice, guitar playing, etc. I am very glad to see you're still around, and hope to catch you 'live' sometime. Sure like to meet you and talk a bit about the gift of song!
Yours truly,

Warren Mullin

Comments: In 1967 a good friend of mine, Tom Dittmer, told me of another friend of his, John Denver, who was then with the Mitchell Trio and looking to replace one the trio members. He gave me the name of Milt Okun, to whom I sent a demo tape of mine. Okun offered me a recording contract on the spot; a few days later John Denver called and said that I should come to Chicago to audition for the trio. Two days later, I got my draft notice in the mail. If memory serves, I recall that they added you to the trio and the rest, as they say, is history.

I looked up Okun after my tour of duty, and he managed to tie up my best songs and my group for three years while he made records with Denver. I remember being introduced to your music that way and admiring both your writing and guitar playing. I keep looking for some of your old records, what goes these days under the rubric of "art" songs, but haven't found any. Of course, I don't even have a record player anymore. I've done a few CDs myself, but none have met with commercial success.

Anyway, just a few comments in passing. I'd like to buy some of your earlier stuff, if it's available. Even though I've never met you, I feel we're connected in some strange musical way. Best wishes for whatever you're up to these days.

Comments: MJ,
Thanks again for sharing your time with us at the Strand in York on May 14. Being a volunteer, I'm "out and about" during the course of a show -- comments by the audience members are always interesting. On a scale of 1 to 10, you my friend came in at about a 15!! You are always welcome here. Per our conversation, I've spoken to the "powers that be" about your name being thrown in the hat - hopefully you'll be back soon. Thanks for the hug - and for being someone who still hugs. We all need more of them. Be well and may your heart be happy.

Comments: Dear Michael,
It was such a nice surprise to find your web site. I have been unable to find out anything about you and your music for years. This is WONDERFUL! I am 34 years old. I am married and have two children. I have been a fan of yours for 20 years. I discovered your music in 1978, when I bought "The Michael Johnson Album" because I could not get my hands on the single "Bluer Than Blue". I remember walking home from online store thinking to myself "Well, this is a waste. I'll probably only like the hit song." Well, an hour later I was running back to online store (it was near closing time) to buy EVERYTHING I could of your music. I was hooked! I wore out 2 L.P.'s each of "The Michael Johnson Album", "Dialogue", and "You Can Call Me Blue". I finally bought a tape deck and made copies of these jems so I would not wear out the third L.P. of each. What I enjoy most about your music is the emotion you pour into it. The songs are so beautifully arranged and so intimate, that they can't help but touch the listener. I am a sucker for a good love song, and no one does them like you do. I'm glad to see you have no plans of retiring anytime soon. I too, am hoping to replace my old (tired) L.P.'s with C.D.'s so I hope you are able to get rights to your work SOON! I am one of the minority that prefers your pop/country work best. Could you tell me if there is a songbook available (piano/voice) for "Then & Now"? Thank you so much for 20 years of beautiful music. I am looking forward to at least 20 more. Sincerely,
Janice
