Johns 4 solo cd

Does anyone have any news on this? Is it still in the recording process or is it a no go? Just checking because, I remember on his web site, little videos with him all excited about it, but haven't heard anything about it sense. Hopefully it will be one more true rock album.

Surprised no one answered this yet.

It's on hold because "The Grafting" is getting a re-boot. John felt it wasn't given a fair chance in the market, found new distributor or something, and they re-launched it.

So we have to wait before John's #4 solo work comes out.

BTW, there was another solo project in the works before "The Grafting" but was never released. So potentially we could have a 2-disc set?

Also, John mentioned on tour that there's a book project coming.

That's exciting to hear about the book. I wonder if it will be an autobiography or something different.

It's an auto-biography

Right - the new CD is on hold at the moment... giving Grafting a new push first.

However, if anyone has any spare change laying around and would like to contribute to the cause, a new SONG could be done right now - dedicated totally to you, the contributor. :wink:

I'll bite.

Exactly how much spare change are we talking here?

(PS, I am in NO position to make a serious offer as I suspect we're talking more than "spare change" -- I just think it would be good to know how BIG and how MUCH these projects are, most, and I include myself, have no clue whatsoever).

A song is in the vicinity of $4000.... it all depends on how it's produced, who is playing on it, studio time, etc. But that's a rough ballpark figure for what John wants to do.

Can't say I have that kind of change laying around in my pocket either, but there ARE folks who DO. I've seen them. I've seen their wallet. I try to be really nice to them. :wink:

That's cool. Now that I've received my tax refund, I might be able to pick up a copy of THE GRAFTING.

I'll buy John's autobiography...I think it would be a fascinating read. By the way...what ever happened to calicowriter's book about Schlitt? Just wondering.
