About Me

Before you ask: yes, I am the real Jon Wolter. This is not a fan site. And yes, I do respond personally to all messages but, as I run this site myself, do not get offended if it takes some time. Thanks for your interest, and I hope to see you all next time I tour. It's fans like you that keep me in this kooky business.

adopt your own virtual pet!
