My Story

In the midst of what some open-minded people might say was a modestly sucessful if self-restrained career in the public service, John L decided to “quit his day job”, as it were, and work toward the release of a CD of his songs – something he had been thinking about ‘lo these many years.

As a young musician, songwriting seemed to evolve naturally with John L, and was spurred on by his attendance at concerts of Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and others.

John L has, in fact, been at the edges of the formal/mainstream music industry for some time – dashing off songs and demos to publishers and record companies in the hopes of being “discovered”. A prolific songwriter, John L continued to release two more CDs.

The independent music industry continues to thrive, and it seems the perfect time for John L to make his catalogue available here for your listening pleasure.
