He was the wizardous one from the outback. I used to have the lyrics but couldnt find them, they really are beautiful.
Hmm, the Wizardous one from the outback .... a member of the message board?
Yes he was a member too and so the lyrics were very genuine and heartfelt, written especially for this board and everyone on here.
Fortunately John also recorded a few more songs on youtube following that to it's page ....a decent record of some of his output, like the one about Hurricane Katrina and breaking levies ....
Happy Birthday John. I carry you with me every day, your love, wisdom, music, and everything you taught me, and I miss you. xoxoxo
Maddie - this seems like another lifetime. Thanks for bringing back a little of John's spirit. <3
Fortunately, I can say John was my friend. I got to know him a couple of years before he went to the clearing beyond the path. To me, he was like Merlin, or Gandalf, or William Burroughs...just chock fulla Devine wisdom, the kinda cat I can sit and listen to for hours. He knew everything. And, if I may be so bold, there was a hint of the charming rogue in his character, which just made him all the cooler. I've written with him, and written about him, and cherish the short time I knew him. He was the real deal.
...this is the real deal character study....
Yep, I saw some of this ... shared a little in it .. but not enough ... some treasures are living ... and you have to be enriched by them best while they are there and available...
I have said this before. I had never been on any kind of message board. I don't remember how I found this board years ago and what got me the courage to post.
It was the SKMB. In full mourning.
I saw the community. I read everything I could that he posted. Little boards. 'London though my eyes', The terrible story involving his daughter, The heartbreak of the last night with his wife. Meeting Ms. Mod! His son, taking the time to respond here.
The funeral when he mentioned the SKMB
And that's when I knew I would stay here with Tet. Good people
RIP John.

I would say John D was the real deal wordslinger with his passion for people and music.
