Jon Hanson Songwriter
I am a songwriter. The only singing I do is an occasional comedy and of course scratch vocals for talented vocalists.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Scarce.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
With Dal Crockett I sang live at a political event last year, about 2,000 people, Dale provided entertainment and I sang my Irish song, Gasoline Blues, and the John Kasich song I wrote for our next governor (I sang V-2, dale did the rest) . And as I say if I do it will be rare and meant to be comedy. Bail Out Blues is one I sang and posted, but it is both sarcastic and comedy.
