Details:
This CD, PIECE OF ME, is over four years in composing and represents a departure from Johnâs two, CD series of Timesâ Bridge (the âpoliticalâ songs) and Johnny Lila (the ânon-politicalâ songs), which are available here on CD Baby. PIECE OF ME has 19 tracks - 16 songs, only two of which are âtoughlyâ political, and three instrumentals.

PIECE OF ME mixes images of love and tenderness, splinterinâ ties, a candyman who knew Johnâs dreams, photos from a sweeter time, picture frames, a breeze-blown candle flame, love lifting you up taking you to your knees, a heaven-bound train, danglinâ feet and smokestack ears, a young girl dressed in sapphron pink whose dark eyes to the camera do not blink, the punchline in this cosmic joke, a fireplace amber glow, late-night popcorn picture shows, Monsoon Cindy, Aliâs Arms, Wednesday afternoons and many other images that give shape to this CD.

John is 61 and lives in Fairfield, IA where he spends many hours every day performing Yogic Flying in the âGolden Domes of Maharishi University of Management,â as one of Maharishi Mahesh Yogiâs world peace warriors.
