I was just talking to a friend about John a couple of days ago, I have his guitar case that toured with Frank Ifield, so we had
a chat about him as we discussed the labels on the well traveled case! Just got the news from Frank.
Sad news indeed, R.I.P. John.

Condolences to his family.

I met John when he was playing with Frank Ifield, we did a show at the Aberdeen CC early 80s, I was playing with a band called Legend. A very nice man to speak to and a great steel player. RIP. Donny.
