Johnny Metal---Unplugged

About Me

Hey! Thanks for checking out my acoustic page! The songs that will be featured on here are a couple of songs that I have done in the past but there is nothing metal about them. I've been tempted to share them with you all and I finally gave into it. Anyway, I've been playing guitar for about 21 years now. Aside from doing a few small gigs with a dear friend of mine back in Salisbury Maryland, I've played praise and worship in churches before as well but it was never a full band. So, this site shows a different side of me. Hope you all enjoy them! Also, I owe a HUGE debt of thanks to a few people. First off, Rob Zweifel for letting me come to his basement and record "Scars Too Deep To Heal" and then he was gracious enough to put a drum track on it. I was so blown away by it when I first heard it almost 10 years ago, and I still love listening to "Scars" now. Also, to Todd Fisher, the original bassist from Empire in Ruins. He helped me record "Here's My Son" and also mastered both songs to CD for me to listen to. Todd really pushed me in the studio. I'm very happy that he did. I learned a lot that day. I also want to thank my loving wife for putting up with me and my childish desires to do this music thing at 36 years old and always wanting more new equipment. Most importantly, I thank Jesus Christ for giving me everlasting life when He saw me in my dispair and pulled me out of it.

A Little Bit About "You"

"You" is my latest song.  This one came together pretty quickly.  The inspiration came from the Psalms.  So much good stuff in the Psalms.  Nothing fancy, just a straight up praise...

A little bit about my songs

Well, I wanted to give you folks who have checked out my site here a little background on the songs.  Scars Too Deep To Heal goes about a long time for me.  I wrote that back in June of 199...
