	Press Release: Only Son by John Johnson and Jeff Coplon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		As a child growing up in poverty during the 1940s and 1950s, John Johnson felt his youth was one long bumper car ride—a confusing cycle of hurt and protection from the same cruelly twisted man. The only child of Irene and John Johnson, Sr., Johnson was the center of his parents' lives.
		At last, John Johnson was able to come to terms with whom he really was, and become more tolerant and forgiving-of his past and of himself.
		JOHN JOHNSON was born in New York and has been a teacher, an assistant principal, and an associate professor of Fine Arts at Lincoln University.

		John Johnson, like most English Court musicians, probably began his career as a boy serving an apprenticeship to a player engaged in a great noble house, possibly that of the Earl of Leicester.

	The Robert Johnson Biography Page on Classic Cat
		Son of John Johnson (who was lutenist to Elizabeth I), and lutenist at the court of James I, Robert Johnson (c.1580-c.1634) found steady employment providing music for the many court masques and entertainments during the Jacobean era, and became royal lutenist in the King’s "Private Musick" from 1604.
		Johnson collaborated regularly with poets and playwrights such as Ben Jonson, as well as Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher (who were a regular team) and was also employed as a composer for Shakespeare's theatre company, the King’s Men, from 1610-1617.
		He composed the original settings for some of Shakespeare's songs, most notably those from The Tempest: "Where the Bee Sucks", “Full Fathom Five”, sometimes writing pieces for dances, interludes and sometimes taking text from Shakespeare’s play and setting them to music to be sung within the play itself.

		The most highly regarded composer in England during the late 16th century, Byrd (1542—1623) was a master of vocal polyphony and keyboard music; yet he wrote nothing specifically for the lute.
		Johnson (1540—1594) was the first major English lutenist/composer to be native born.
		John Dowland (1563—1626) is undoubtedly the best-known English Renaissance lute composer of the golden age and the standard by which other English lute composers are measured.

	The London Brass
		The first group of pieces played by the London Brass on this week's program are transcriptions of airs or songs originally written for the lute by the master composer and lutenist John Dowland, considered to be one of the greatest songwriters of the Elizabethan age.
		It was shortly after this that his compositions began to be performed at court ceremonies and other public events, and when Queen Elizabeth's lutenist, John Johnson, died in 1594, Dowland seemed a natural successor.
		Despite his own personal bitterness over the indifference of the English court, John Dowland nevertheless could look back on an extraordinarily successful musical career - there was a constant clamor, especially in Europe, for his lute-playing talents, and his songs were known by peasant and prince alike in his day.

		John’s voice has been compared to James Taylor meets Eddie Boyd, mixed with the blue-eyed rock and soul styling of Paul Rodgers: “The Eddie Boyd version of the blues classic, Five Long Years is my all-time favorite -I wrote an updated arrangement of that song -but I kept his melody the same.”
		A major influence in his songwriting and production is the world of film composing.
		At the CD Release Party for his new CD "FAIRPLAY" John was joined by such musical luminaries as Scott Alexander (bass), Brent Barkman (piano), Dave Dunlop (trumpet), Mark Kelso (drums), John Johnson (sax), Gord Myers (trombone), Jim Tait (guitar).

	A private letter to Paul O'Dette (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Change John’s note values (relatively speaking) to durations, particularly in the treble and middle voices, which are, to put it mildly, wishful thinking and cannot be executed on the guitar unless you had six fingers that are a foot long each.
		There is nothing in John’s KB transcription to indicate that the soprano voice is equal in duration to the bass, and that the melody actually resides in the alto, not in the soprano.
		In the guitar version, all of John's durations have been maintained religiously, and a certain degree of displacement was introduced in order to compensate for the crowding factor of the single staff.
