Snowball Johnny - Just for U

Song I record every week, till the best one hits! About why I feel and sing the Bluez
Snowball Johnny - Mario started playing classical guitar in 1966, at the age of 10, untill he made 3 grades at 18. He stopped playing "dead people music", as he called it and started writing songs, jamming with his friend Bruno on old black blues themes, one would play rythm and the other solo. Listening to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Gratefull Dead, Jimi Hendrix' Experience, Lightning Hopkins is how he got into the blues! Some years later he got the blues, cold turkey-ing heroÃn, playing music in the streets and breaking his heart numberous times. SJ played lots of bands playing solo, rythm, bassguitar, bluesharps and/or vocals. He also plays drums, violin, cello, double bass and piano, but in the end feels real happy with a guitar a bluesharp and his songs... Just like at the start. He plays solo/acoustic since 1996. In 1998 things got interesting with the coming of mp3.com, and Johnny joined, publishing over 150 songs, which reached up to 65.000 payed downloads a year. When Mp3.com got sold and all artist uploads destroyed without notice, Johnny was very disappointed, lost a lot of recordings and had to start all over again. He started his own domain www.bluez.nl, but didn't stop joining independent hosts, today you can hear Johnny's songs at different sites all over the world, China, Brazil, Australia, Germany, USA, Japan among others. Most of his work is recoded to Mp3Pro files, half the size, same quality! You can find them right here at Soundclick @music! His video's are on the UTUBE! Please enjoy his "LIVE" recordings (even the multitracks are 'one' takes) and visit bluez.nl site for links and videos. Rotterdam, the Netherlands , january 15 2010.
