Busy with Marya and Amberly

Check out the video of "21" I just filmed with Marya Roxx. It was filmed out on the West Coast in the mountains where they used to film MASH. We really had a blast filming. There's lots of pictures on my site.




I also just recorded an album with Amberly Thiessen. Amberly was on Canadian Idol last year, check her out. I will post the album once it's released. Check out my site for some cool pictures of me and Amberly in the studio.

Haloween Shirt

I don't know why, but I have received a ton of emails about the shirt in this picture. It is in the wardrobe making its way to the next show. I will also add the shirt, signed along with the sticks and the drum head in this auction. I can not add this on eBay at this time but I promise I will send it out. You have all been so generous with these auctions and I can't tell you how happy it makes me that we can all help out kids and family's less fortunate then us.
Peace
John

Charity Auction II

Happy Halloween!
We just played a show on Halloween night with Meat Loaf. What a blast! Everyone got dressed up for the encore. Meat was Elvis, Patti and CC were Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Paul was Barney Rubble, Randy was The Joker, Kasim was a Huge Bunny, Dave was Joe the Plumber, Mark was Mark...and I was a Pig (no wise cracks). I will be auctioning off a signed pair of drumsticks and the drum head we used that night for the next Charity Auction to benefit Compassion International.

I want to thank everyone who participated in last month's Charity Auction. Here's an update on the boy we were able to begin a sponsorship for with the proceeds. Jolien is 10 years old and lives in Haiti with his father, mother and 1 sibling. His parents sometimes work as farmers, and Jolien is responsible for carrying water, gathering firewood and caring for animals. In primary school, his performance is above average and he also regularly attends church activities and camp. He loves singing, art and bicycling. I've sent him a letter and am waiting to hear from him. Because of privacy issues, I'm not able to post his photo, but I'll keep you all updated with excerpts from his letters as I receive them. Thanks to your generosity, we can keep this sponsorship going!
