Artist description All too often I hear someone say "I had no idea you were such a great artist...your music has a depth, and a compelling voice that goes far beyond what I would expect from even the most astute spiritual guides." I have but one reply: "Thanks, Mom, and by the way, here's your hearing aid." Sometimes I add "oh, you got my CD mixed up with your Mitch Miller!" Then we laugh a hardy laugh and talk about "The Old Times", whatever they are. You see, Mom's lost most of her memory, at least what little she had before "The Accident"...but I digress.

Music Style Blues/Pop/Blues/Rock/Jazz/R&B

Musical Influences It's hard to tell what my major influence is, but I can tell you what it is not (see Artist History below).

Similar Artists Peter Gabriel, ZZ Top, Steely Dan, Jimi Hendrix, Robben Ford, Tower of Power (I gotcha TOWAH right here, ah-ite?)

Artist History I am inspired by an inner voice that tells me "Celine Dion must be stopped, for the sake of all that is good and pure, she must be stopped!"

Group Members So far, I am the only musician on any of these recordings, but I am really getting sick of my attitude and I'm about to fire myself. I am mainly a guitar player, and my limitations as a keyboardist, bass player and drummer sometimes limit what I can realize.

Instruments Guitars, synths, drums, keys, bass and vocals.

Albums The first CD, is a work in progress. I can't fit all the songs on one CD, so lawd hep me, I might just start another one.

Press Reviews Florida Times Union: Next time you're downtown in Tallahassee, check out the Johnny Whitehurst band at the Governer's Club. Johnny has been a mainstay of the local seen for many years, but his new band sets off his eclectic mixture of jazz and blues "Jus' Right". The new guitarist, Chris Franklin, pushes the whole group to a new level. His rubbernecked playing sets up a groove that is hypnotizing and unstoppable. Johnny's tight and soulful voice makes this a combo that can't be beat. Get there early, though; the seats are hard to come by.Friday and Saturday 8:00 to 1:00. From a listener: Your music is excellent, but I can tell that you are a really sick person...please get help and get it soon! From a downloader at this site: Your humor shines through in all of your lyrics. Unfortunately, I and the other members of N.O.W. must boycott your site, and you personally, for your sexist lyrics and corrupted view of relationships. Mossami Fwutumi:I'm appalled at the way you steal quasi-african rythyms and call them your own compositions. Sir, you are a plagarist and a thief!
