Spirit in the sky ~ Oh Captain my captain~ so sad to hear of Big Johns passing.
Such a kind and wonderful soul. Surely will be missed here on earth brother.

Trisha, I do not know why I went on this board today, nostaglia I guess. I remember you John always loved running into you. I miss his presence every day I still just want to pick up the phone and call him plan a tour or bitch about our lives. It's hard to have someone so dear in your life for 50 years and watch them suffer and wither away. I keep him in my heart (and a big picture in my dinning room) I promised him I would keep listening to the music and dance my ass off. I ran into someone in Philly before the Met show and they wanted to know if Big John was with me? Boy did that bring a flood of memories. I have new touring partners a few friends and my sons but nothing will compare going with the big guy I'd give anything for just one more bone crushing hug. I will just have to make due with the honor that that sweet gentle giant was my friend since I was 17 years old
Much Love Trisha I always enjoyed hanging out with you
Donna.
