Hey, I have had this funny urge to talk to you. Things are going well in Denver. I got to lay down some tracks on a blues album........maybe you can take a listen some day. Also acted in a comedy sketch, that fetched "best new comedy", at the Houston International Film Festival 2001. I hope things are going great. Just feel like hearing your voice one of these days.

I enjoyed hearing you on Folkstage last night but was disappointed that you aren't making any other Chicago-area performances. Are you going to be performing in the Chicago area soon?

Does anyone know where I can find the chords that Michael plays in that arrangement? I've figured out about a third of it, but I'm stuck! Date: May 31, 2001 at 22:42:30 Name: Craig T. Olson City & State: mpls Source: sherlock Comments: Michael, It's Craig T. the old one man show from Mpls and Nashville. Great to see you have someone who cares enough to put up and maintain a quality site for you. I've read the message board and I'm not gonna tell any old road war storys, but I will stroke you in public. You are the real deal man. No One has ever mixed a gut string and one voice together like you. Not Rankin, Not Newberry, Not Gatlin, Not Denver, Not Gill, Not Morris, No one but you buddy. I'm a forever fan, informal friend and will always do one or two of your vintage tunes in a show just to turn people on to your gift. Like Tony Bennett it only gets better with age if we can keep the mental part fresh and the body clean. CT.

Comments: Hey Michael, Karen and I were at Riverfest today and saw Crow. I asked her to pass along my e-mail address and telephone number to you. I am still doing club gigs here in Little Rock. I may have to wait until next April to see you but If I am not working August 2nd, I might make it up to Fort Smith for the early evening concert you have scheduled. It's has been a long time and I would like to see and/or talk with you, Bob Hayes Date: May 11, 2001 at 17:31:23 Name: Jeff Voelkel City & State: Mukwonago, Wisconsin Source: Long time fan Comments: Michael, My wife Jean is a big fan since her days at Wartburg College. In fact you came and performed for my sister-in-law, Sarah Salzwedel's 40th birthday last year. Jean's brother Jack Salzwedel arranged it in Waunakee, Wisconsin last summer. I hope you remember, because we loved it and had a wonderful time. Well, the real reason I am writing, is that Jean's birthday is coming up and she wants the album with "Bristlecone Pine" on it. I find out from you web site that the album, "Michael Johnson", (Atlantic 82304-2 from 1992) is no longer available. I could be a big hero if you could let me know if there is any way to get a hold of that album/tape/CD. I hope all is well with you. Let me know if you are coming to the Milwaukee area any time this summer. We would love to see you again.

Love both discs; glad you still make beautiful music. Isn't it great how the Internet offers us opportunities to find out what happened to people you've lost sight of over the years (and the continents)? I'll check by regularly. Any plans to tour Europe?

I am a singer and we are in the selection process for my 3rd CD - and I am hoping to sing that song. Please visit my website at www.Juliesmusic.com to learn more about my music.

All the best, JULIE Date: April 21, 2001 at 00:18:25 Name: Kim Mezzenga City & State: West Bend, WI Source: General search (MSN) Comments: This is great! My wife, Vicki, and I have been fans since high school in Minnetonka, MN (long, long ago). She gave me a copy of "There is a breeze". Our second date was a concert (Guthrie or Orpheum, the memory goes first). I recall the audience requested the SUPER VALU promo. I have just ordered the early music set for Vicki for Mother's Day. It just occurred to me that if Michael signs the CDs, would it be possible to get it personalized for her? My order number is 47-2258. I had heard that Michael lived in the burbs of Minneapolis. Is that true? Thanks for the great music and the great memories. "There is a breeze" is attached to a lot of them. Best regards Kim Mezzenga Date: April 17, 2001 at 09:44:38 Name: Robert Barter City & State: Berwick, Maine Source: Great luck! Comments: Dear Mr. Johnson, I've been a fan since the Denver, Boise and Johnson days, and in the 1980's was pleased to see you were once more recording. A friend -and fellow musician- had those even earlier albums , and when I got on the Internet, I was surprised and glad to see they were available on a two-disc set, three albums on one disc. I ordered immediately (sent a check via the mail) last week and am looking forward to receiving this set soon! Many thanks for your incredible music. My wife Nancy loves it as much as Ido!

What a blast from the past! She mentioned that you 2 keep in touch from time to time, and sent me your web address. I've often wondered what you've been up to since the days of IT'S HERE, THE RUM RUNNERS, the recordings we made in your apartment, etc. when you were hanging out with Candy Forrest in the early '60s. I wouldn't be suprised if I still had some recordings laying around in the basement somewhere. Perhaps I'll get ambitious and go through some of them some day. I know I have some stuff from the Rum Runners. It's good to see that you are still writing and performing. Maybe I'll get one of your CDs to check out what you're doing.

Source: engine search Comments: Hi Mike, I guess I'm one of very few who at HFHS and in Greeley who knew you as Mike. I've followed your music since you and John Denver were on The Mike Douglas Show in the mid 60's. I went to our high school reunion a couple of years ago and everyone was so happy for you. I'll buy you dinner when you come to the Bay Area. Let me know! Mike Curry Date: April 08, 2001 at 17:57:21 Name: David E. Brown City & State: San Diego,CA Source: Friend told me about it. Comments: LOVE YOUR MUSIC. Date: April 07, 2001 at 14:50:58 Name: Tom Snellgrove City & State: Ft. Lauderdale, Fl Source: MJ gave it to me Comments: Just saw your show here in Ft. Lauderdale (Singer house concert series) and had a wonderful time. Have been a big fan for a long time. I was the one who tried to shake your hane and wound up bumping youe elbo instead (after isn't that where the expression came from?? ...."rubbing elbo's with the celebrities") I also mentioned that I wore the grooves off of 4 MJ Albums. In any event, I am taking a flier and am going to ask a question (which may never get answered) but here goes....Any suggestions on where someone who has written a bunch of songs (of course copyrighted) and simply wants to solicit them to singers/artists (which is of course what everyone in Nashvegas wants to do isn't it? )....whaty I'm trying to ask is how does one go about it.....is there a publication that lists addresses etc...? Or does everyone need to know a Tony Arata, Don Schlitz, Bob DiPiero etc.. to get somewhere? In any event we all had a great time and greatly admire your talent as a singer/song-writer/entertainer. You have been one of my idols for a long time. Thanks again.

Love you!!! T Date: March 21, 2001 at 12:50:25 Name: Mary Manrod City & State: Chandler, Arizona Comments: Michael, I'd love to hear from you. Is there any way that I can get you to come perform in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I don't know how to set up a booking, but I will do whatever I can to make it happen. I've really missed you, since I moved from Rockford. My son Michael says hi to you and is also a big fan. It is amazing how fast our boys have grown into men. He would love to see you. I don't remember if I ever brought him to a concert when he was a kid. But we fight over your CDs. It seems that they never grow out of the "hit the refrigerator, the movies and the Cds as soon as they come in the door" phase. Michael has his own condo, but he comes over to raid my music, food and DVD stash. I guess I'll have to buy him his own copies of your CDs. Your friendship meant a great deal to me when I was going through being single again, and your music has always inspired me. Thank you for touching so many of us.

Date: February 21, 2001 at 02:30:18 Name: kevin michael dee City & State: anchorage alaska Source: by a friend Comments: I was wonderfully surprised to see that the early albums were now available as my old vinyl disappeared into the cosmos long ago and I have missed hearing so many of the tunes I love. I first saw Michael in Sioux city Iowa and met him backstage after the really informal concert at Morningside college. His soft demeanor and ability to laugh at himself made everyone feel at ease. He also played a little effacing ditty about couintry music which in later years I found even more amusing. Its a pleasure to reconnect to music I have found to be very beautiful, heartfelt and timeless.

Your music has always been inspiring and has taught me to appreciate other artists as well. I'm pleased that now I can get your older albums on CD - that's the music I grew up listening to!

We have spent time together in Decorah, IA and in Minneapolis and Waverly, IA at Wartburg when you used to do your early concerts. Do you remember the concert at Luther College one of your first times playing there, and a group of CRAZY camp counselors took you out to the bar in town when you were staying at the Cliffhouse. We played pool, sang songs and had a riot together. One of us still has your Coke can from that night!! I will write more later but would be very interested in seeing you again. How is Stanley?? your Wife?? Do you still have the t-shirt we gave you from a concert. On the front it says EWALU??

I think I ran into you once at Park West. Was I already living in New York? I read your two pieces on Perseverance. What I tell friends is, my greatest boast is that I done nothing but write for a living for 29 years. And you...the same for music, no? Anyway, I have no idea whether you actually read this stuff, but I'll say my name and see if you answer. It would be sweet if you remembered me.

I haven't seen Michael perform since a unique concert at the now closed Cat 'N Fiddle in rural New Ulm during the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame induction of Johnson quite a few years ago. There were only about 100 people, but the intimate setting was memorable. I'm hoping he'll play "Give Me Wings," for it reminds me of letting go of my daughter, Ambryn, who is now a sophomore at Gustavus. She bought us the tickets for this concert. Thanks.

Saw a concert somewhere in Mpls. back then and have been hooked ever since. Michael, I'm disappointed your history didn't say anything about you living in MN. I was even a fan during my downward spiral into alcoholism. Been sober a long time now and even had the wonderful experience of seeing MJ and Don S. play together at the West Suburban Alano in Minnetonka. Don S. can sure play that harp, but nothing compares to Michael's voice and guitar playing. I'm also a friend of Joseph's, a former sponsee of yours. He can imitate you to the T. Sure have missed you at Orchestra hall the last few years. I think I'll call Joseph and see if he wants to make a road trip to St. Peter on the 13th.

I really wanted the live album because my wife and I had to pass up a chance to see you perform live in Greenwich, CT last year because of a sudden Illness.

We met briefly last night as you passed by my table and we tried to recall a show you did in Canada. (I was the one you so graciously told not to sit down for my chair had fallen over as I got up to speak with you. Thanks for choosing to warn me over a visual I'm sure would have been tempting to be tight-lipped about). It could have been the Black and Wy tour I saw you on but I'll have to email my friend, Mark La Pointe back home and ask him. I know he'll remember because he was able to go back stage to meet you that night (a major highlight for him as he too is a huge fan!!!) Thank you so much for sharing your gifts of music and laughter. I was expecting incredible music but I had know idea how funny you were!!! I had the same experience when I went to see Deepak Chopra speak ...he too was not only intelligent but very funny, who knew?!! I was so inspired last night after the show that I came home and wrote a song. It still needs a little work but the first line is "I wanna write a song so great you'll never hear it on the radio" (a topic you and I touched on for a moment last night). It goes on to talk about wanting to do things in life to the fullest and realizing that the best things in life are seldom obvious (ie. God usually comes thru a window and rarely a door). I want to thank you all last night for the inspiration for this one. I'll send it to you when I'm done if you're interested in hearing it!! Let me know!! Well I should sign off here but I just wanted to let you know that your music once again did what music is meant to do and that is move people. Another magical night at the Bluebird Cafe!!!! If I continue seeing shows like the one last night I really need to take up stocks in Kleenex...there winning out here big time!!! Thanks for inviting me to write you or I probably wouldn't have but your invitation pretty much confirmed that you read these comments. Hope to hear from you and if not Happy Holidays ("Christians roasting on an open fire", too funny!!!) and I'll do my best to catch you the next time you're in town!!! love and light, lisa Date: December 04, 2000 at 02:29:24 Name: Michael Tetzlaff City & State: Austin, TX Source: Yahoo Search Comments: Michael, I don't know if you get these messages or not, but I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful gift of music that you have passed on to us. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing you in concert at your 26-Dec concert about 8 years ago. You weren't in the best of health that night, but you still put forth an incredible show.

They played alot of your music and the great music from other artists which no other station would play. My sister has your Dialogue Album and since turntables are hard to come by...I went out last year and bought the Then and Now CD. Of course, I wish the song Doors was on it, but at least I have one of your CD's. Are you ever planning on coming to LA? We wish you would, so that we could have the opportunity of hearing you in person. You are truly an outstanding songwriter and singer, and I wish there was a station that dedicated their time to playing your style of music. Whatever happened to all those artists who sang that style of music. (Jennifer Warrens, Lauren Wood, Amy Holland, Michael McDonald, Maxis, Sneaker, ....the list goes on and on if you hated pop and hard rock in the 70's. Anyway, we're so glad you're still out there performing, but if you could perform closer to L.A. life would be grand.

I worked a few years ago at the Tower Records here in Nashville, and you came in a few evenings...we talked about Peggy Lee & Rosemary Clooney. I was struck by how modest & kind you were. I just discovered your Greatest Hits on Razor & Tie and was so happy to hear those songs on disc. I recently lost my mom to cancer and have always felt that "The Moon Is Still Over Her Shoulder" could be the theme to my parents' 35-year marriage, although I'm sure you hear that all the time. Just wanted to let you know you are appreciated. I'm headed out now to get your new live CD. Thanks very much.

It was "That's That". I had the windows of my red cavalier rolled down and the radio turned up as i sang along with gleeful abandon. Just when i was thinking that it didn't get much better than that, i saw a deer walk across the road in front of me. I stopped and watched this delicate and gangly creature cross, the music still playing, and thought, "Wow. Thank you, God, for beautiful little moments like this". I saw Michael Johnson perform at the Wildcat Ranch in Navarre, Ohio back in the fall of 1991. He was the headliner at a benefit concert for Richard Laverne Baus, my father who had died from cancer the previous summer. The money raised went towards helping my family pay for his medical expenses, which were more than we could afford. Thank you, Michael, for the help. I had grown up listening to my mom's copy of "This Night Won't Last Forever", a 45 that's nearly worn out from years of countless playings. Both Mom and i were touched and thrilled to see Michael play live. He was fantastic. We haven't been able to see him play again since, namely because we've never heard of him coming to our area. I'm glad to have found this website in hopes of finding a concert listing in our area sometime in the future. Mom and i would love to see him play live again.

Any chance to hear Bristlecone Pine, I Will Whisper Your Name, When You Come Home, Gypsy Woman, or Love and Sex? The new CD is excellent, of course.

He was the opening act for George Jones. My wife is a big Jones fan, so we went to his concert. I had no idea George was going to have an opening act, but I was pleasently surprised to be introduced to M.J. I have heard some of M.J.s music in the past, but to be honest with you I never knew he was. Personally I can't play a lick on the guitar or any other instrument, but I still really appritiate the hours and years it takes to perform at such a high talent. I currently do not own any M.J.s rrecordings, but I plan to purchase some soon.

What's unusual about this is that while I'm familiar with some of your radio hits, I didn't own the original discs. After your appearance with Wynonna/Clint Black a couple of seasons ago, I decided to find some of these CDs and am very glad I did. It was at this live show that I was completely mesmerized by your incredible guitar playing and wonder why this incredible gift hasn't been captured (more) on these years of recordings? I've seen more music and theatre live than probably anyone I could ever know - I've just ordered the Early Years compilation (I already have and love the "There Is A Breeze" disc from Japan along with all the others) and look forward to keep in touch with you and your music. Best regards - Aris PS - I've listened to the song called "Dialogue" about 50 times this week - there must be a story to this song.

I never even dreamed of watching you performed live, but, Feb. 1999 I was lucky enough to watch you perform in a concert here in Manila. That was one of my most unforgettable moments! I was moved to tears as I listened to your golden voice. I only regret one thing though, I was not able to get your autograph and did not get the chance to pose for a picture with you! I got Mr. Stephen Bishop's as well as Mr. David Pomeranz's , the two other great talents that performed with you that night, but even so, I was so downhearted because I never even got to shake your hand!

We had a great time hearing so much stuff we hadn't heard before. I wonder how you felt about the concert. Any thoughts???

I was hoping to find the words for the song you sang last time called You make me feel so so where you offered her a mint. Could you send the words to my dad's email for me? I already have the words to Jacque Cousteau from your web site. I like your site. It is a cool site.

Just wanted to say thanks. I've been bragging on you all day today at work. You are good, keep it up!

Definitely some truths there. I recently started playing again after a 10 year hiatus (wife,kids,job) and have started looking back on some of the folks whose influences affected me. It was good to see you have a website. I noticed you have a job in Maryland on the 5th of May but I will be paying homage to the mouse (DisneyWorld). Any chances of a penciled in gig in PA. I'll keep checking the site to see if there are any additions. Other than that keep playing on and boy is it different when your 40!

I found some Cds on a recent trip to London so I have become a fan all over again. I love the song with Alison Krauss. Do you have many UK fans? Have you ever played concerts in the UK and do you intend to? I'm sure you would be well received at some of the summer festivals. Wynonna's a favourite of mine. You and her on the same bill. What a gig! Keep up the good work.

Many an evening over the years we have danced in the living room to "The Very First Time". We had the pleasure to see Michael live in Madison Wisconsin twice in the early 80's and I almost snuck my wife out of the hospital on the day our second son was born (3/14/85)to see him perform at the "Church Key" in Madison. We have lost you a few times over the years, as we moved around and didn't catch enough country stations to follow your musical evolution, but caught up again around 1989 with a tape that included "Whisper Your Name", "That's That", and "Roller Coaster Run". Glad to have your "Very Best" compilation on CD, its hard to keep the turntable working for our old vinyl. Now that I've bookmarked the site, I will look for performance dates in Southern WI and surprise my wife with tickets. It will make her year! Keep up the great music. We'll keep buying it. Have you ever recorded "My Old Yellow Car"? Enjoyed hearing you play that in clubs many years ago. Thanks for all the great songs for Cheryl and I.

Source: Good Luck and a CD Comments: Christmas '99 brought a modem into our house but the better present was discovering the Michael Johnson website! I have followed your career for many years, my first concert was in 1974 at Ravinia. Imagine how excited we were when we found an upcoming concert ONLY 400 miles roundtrip from our home! The decision to go was easy, getting there was not. My family and I drove the Chicago expressways through a raging snowstorm and the outlying farmland soon became a white-out. What were we doing? After dropping off the kids with family, my brother in law and his wife navigated the country roads from Madison, Wi. with us to find Whitewater and the tiny Cafe Carpe. The Cafe was certainly a contrast to the cold and snow outside. It was warm and inviting, full of friendly people who welcomed us to the back of the bar where you were performing. What a wonderful place to enjoy your music! Jeff Hickey did a great job of warming up the audience (as did the cognac I was enjoying). You took the stage and 14 years of waiting to see you perform live again became a reality. The audience was equally enthused and it was apparent that you have very loyal fans in Wisconson. Your performance did'nt disappoint! Although many of the songs were new to me personally, they were of the same texture and style that I've come to love through the years. We especially enjoyed the classic "What'll I Do?" the instrumental "Mona Ray" and the song you opened the second set with by Hugh Prestwood (Briar Cone Pine?) Your voice and your guitar skills were as impressive as I remembered. Some things really need to be seen to be fully appreciated! Perhaps the most memorable part of the night was talking to you between sets and being able to tell you in person how much your music has meant to me through the years. Your life on the road can not be an easy one, howener you leave a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to be able to spend an evening with your songs, stories, and guitar. The evening passed all too quickly at the Cafe Carpe. It was late in the evening, yet I was invigorated and felt capable of getting through the rest of a Midwest winter having spent this night with you, your audience and my family. Although Chicago is no longer the home to The Earl of Old Town or Holsteins, there is still an audience here that would come out for you . We can't wait for that to happen. So what were we doing driving all those miles from home? Departures can also be reunions.

When I moved to Cincinnati from Toledo, I met a very good friend named Mike Zwertschek. The son of Mike Zwertschek (one of the founding Cincinnati Balladeers) He told us about a time Michael Johnson came to their house for a little jam session. They introduced me to MJ's music. The whole Zwertschek family are big fans! Mike's Uncle Rick,who lives in Los Angeles would make cassette tapes of MJ interviews off the radio and send them to Mike Z Jr. He, in turn, would make a copy for me. Cincinnati doesn't have much of a selection of MJ's music for sale. Anytime I've been out of town, I'd comb the used record shops for MJ's old albums. There aren't many out there. Thank You for starting this website so we can all have our very own recordings. Mike Jr. and I have always talked about how great it would be to have MJ over for dinner at one of our houses. So I'm going to ask right now. MJ if you are ever in the Philadelphia or the Cincinnati areas, and would like a good home cooked meal, give Mike or I a call. It would be an honor to meet you and chat in a comfortable setting. William Sutts 215-232-7451 Date: February 21, 2000 at 21:36:21 Name: Jack Salzwedel City & State: Milwaukee, WI.

I have a promised CD ready to send to you, but no snail mail address. The CD is by a Bay area guy named Jeff Linsky, who is just a phenomenal player. He uses a 3/4 size rubber string called a raquinto (sp?), and can seemingly play anything that occurs to him. Very musical, too, not a technician, for all his skills. Not deep, but makes up for it with an extra dose of smooth. I think you'll dig it. I discovered him back when I was working for Larrivée and had some disposable income. I bought a bunch of his CDs, figuring they were good wampum. If you feel like sending me something of yours in return, I don't mind. I already have "Departure". Harvey Reid's email, in case you lost the matchbook cover you wrote it down on, is "harv@woodpecker.com". I also told him your updated email, so you may well hear from him. Take care, and send me an address.

I was on my lunch break from my record store job and ran into a friend who was home from college. He asked if we had any of your records at the store. I didn't know, but when I went back from lunch I checked and decided to buy the only one we had left. Sorry Greg! Anyway, I have loved your music ever since. I saw you at St. Olaf and later in Minneapolis at one of your after Christmas gigs. Recently I have been fortunate enough to have been pushed into learning (as best I can) a few of your songs by my friend Anne (who wrote you January). I have learned so much from that process. I have also enjoyed reading your articles on performing. It helps to realise that everything we are going through is pretty much "normal". Especially when last week we were asked us if we wanted to start a tab on our bottled waters - I guess only tap water was free. Anyway, thanks for all the great music and inspiration.
