Some well deserved comments:
He walks onstage and it is like pouring cream for a bunch of catsthe audience is slurping up everything he gives them and if they were any happier theyd be purring.

Jons talent goes beyond his extraordinary way with words and deeply moving melodies; Jon is an artist in the truest sense of the word.

The performance was indescribably moving! Thank you for making great music with words that describe what we hold in our souls.
Your fine music, your sentiments and melodies, provided the score, the sound track for the 170 mile round trip and it could not have melded more precisely, both emotionally and spiritually. All to say, so many of the songs struck HOME.
