Johnny Mannion Band
I have wanted a Trimmed and Burnin
amp for awhile now. I got to use one at
the Back To Blues festival. What a
dream come true! I ordered a 59er
from Shannon the day after the festival.
I am LOVIN' this amp!
Mike Dollins has done more to help me
out over the years than anyone I have
known. As such, he has earned top
link on my website. Visit his new site
and tell him Johnny sent ya!
D.C. Hathaway is a good friend, with
whom I have been fortunate enough to
share the stage at EastLake Church.
DC is a great talent and a class guy. I
am honored to call him my friend
Glenn Kaiser has been a favorite of  
mine since I first heard him in 1978
with Resurrection Band. His album
Winter Sun was instrumental in
changing my life. He has been a great
inspiration to me!  
I have known Jim Earp for about 20
years now. He is the most amazing
acoustic guitarist I have EVER heard.
He is THAT good. A great friend and a
great player. Ain't no one better than
this guy!
Bobby Whitlock has been a good
friend to me as has his wife Coco.
They have been very gracious and
have given me some very good advice.
Bobby was the keyboard player and
songwriter in Derek and the Dominos.
John Mayall has an ear for guitarists,
and Buddy Whittington may be his best
find yet. Buddy is a good friend and a
sweetheart of a guy. I believe Buddy
may well be the best Blues player alive
right now... no joke. This guy can play!
George Sluppick is one of my very
best friends in this world! He was the
first drummer in Sweet Blue Onion and
he has been a great buddy of mine for
years. He has been playing with
MOFRO.
Robert Keeley makes the best effects
pedals period! His mods are the best
and his staff is the best. I only use
Keeley effects. I firmly believe they are
the best and I recommend them highly
!
I have been going to Moze Guitars
since 1978 and they are the most
honest nicest bunch of guys around. If
they don't have it, I don't need it. Any
repairs you need on your guitars, they
are the shop to head to.
My amplifiers are very important to me.
I don't want them to get beat up and
damaged. The best way I have found
to protect them is by using a Studio
Slips Clamshell cover. Total protection!
Susan is an artist!
Eastlake Community Church is where I
go to get my spirit fed. This is the
coolest church around, and they have
the best music team. I had never had
much fun at church before but now I
am laughing out loud and learning too.
Danny Brooks played twice at The
Back to Blues festival. He and his band
took us all to school! These guys are
the real deal and some of the nicest
folks  around. Check out Danny's
website and get his CD's!
Ken Jacques is a great friend of mine
and an extremely talented man with the
lens. He has been kind enough to
spend some time at our gigs taking
pictures. This guy is amazing.
When I get a hankerin' for some BBQ,
this is the place I head to. Great
people, great music and great BBQ.
Lance and Robin are two of the nicest
folks you will ever want to meet!

Marty Knapp at Knappster Guitar put
the beautiful tobacco sunburst on my

does great work and I am a very happy
guitar picker!
