Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

I was in a rut and Tony Hearn suggested a 3-chord rock'n'roll track - this is the result. I like the cheesy underwater guitar solo! ;-)

Johnny with Iraqi Soldier 2008 Baghdad, Iraq
10 July 2008 "In Malibu"
1982- I wanted to be #1 in the Nation
Why this name?
The three of us (me, myself, and I) reached consensus after a nasty power struggle.
Do you play live?
I play live in Church, coffee houses, in the combat zone in Iraq (I am a soldier on active duty), at ceremonies, wherever I can.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives the little guys a fighting chance. It eliminates some of the middle men and gives an immediate contact opportunity between the listener and the artist.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely! I'm available today! :P
Band History:
I played in bands in Richmond, VA in the 80s as Johnny Proctor and the Fabulous Noys, Johnny Proctor and Bad, and the Jammin' Joe Realm. I have opened for Phil Keaggy and played extensively as a worship leader in Church. As an active duty soldier, I have played a lot at chapel services, Prayer Breakfasts and deployments.
Your influences?
The Beach Boys, Beatles, Phil Keagy, Four Freshmen, Israel's Hope, Lamb, Nat King Cole, The Jam, Harry Gore, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Jan & Dean, John Michael Talbot, George Gershwin.
Favorite spot?
The Beach!!!!!!!!
Equipment used:
Roland BR532 Digital 4-Track recording station and pawn shop instruments. I have a fairly nice tambourine, though. I always record in flip flops.
Anything else...?
I LOVE talking music with anybody! Please tell me what you like/dislike about my music at abnjumpmaster56m@yahoo.com and PLEASE listen to more than one song because they're all different! Thanks for checking me out! :)

Hi Johnny,
Thank you for coming by and for listening to my latest humble offering. smile :)
I, like you, also heard a Pedal Steel in my head that would have blended very well, but though I have one on my keyboard, I have NO idea how to make it sound real, or even good...I know it has to do with bending the notes, but what I hear in my head is very complicated, and I haven't even tried to do anything that direction....but I might try it when I have a reasonable amount of time just to see what I come up with...for lack of time I was unable to run any kind of mad experiments.
I've come to understand the music is what it is, message-based and intended for the listener to relate to.
And a great deal of stress release for me. smile :) I actually listen back to many songs, as they speak to me, too.

It's a funny thing when I write..sometimes I don't relate until later, when I need something to help me. And I don't really care that it's me, I'm needing what's in the message at the time I need it. big grin :D

I fully understand going back and listening to Rick's Song...it was written for him, but yet others have found the same solace that you have in that particular song.

I've got some others that I still haven't put together yet, but I will.

Have a great week, my friend! big grin :D Thanks again for coming by, you are always welcome whenever you can come by. big grin :D

Blessings,
Tammy big grin :D

It's the dead of winter; and this song makes me want to take a running jump into the pool for some FUN!! big grin :D

Hey, I like this, Johnny; can't tell you've been in a rut at all...great comeback! big grin :D

Great throwback to the 60's era, I did NOT think the solo was cheesy at all! You ought to know better than that; you've got ALOT of talent, my friend. big grin :D

I'm on my second listen...and I STILL want to take a jump into that pool! LOL!!

Thanks for sharing; I enjoyed the listen! big grin :D

Very cool Johnny Brian wilson has retired his mind long ago.
On this song you managed to capture the magic of why we love Brian, even though he's brain dead...Love this song..Lisa..smile :)
mr Johnny,
finally I posted two new songs but they are not so loud , so you can turn up the volume and they won't distort , I have been mastering lower in volume like they used to along time ago not sure if they will stay that way.....
