John is a friend of mine.

We went to middle school together. Lost touch, and then I heard his music, fell in love with it, and we got back in touch. Wound up recording my own music with him many times.

[Kyterkay]

Ah, I understand now. I know this might be a no, but do any CDs of the album exist still? I've been getting into his music recently and I'd love to hear what Everybody Sees You sounds like.

That one might be tougher to find, as it's a little older.

You can always try messaging him on Facebook. I'm sure he would be happy to sell you a CD

How did YOU find about about them?

How did YOU find about about them?

I discovered them through a community dedicated to finding songs that never have the author mentioned, and can't be recognized by music identifying apps (Shazam, Google Assistant Music Search, etc.) The search started in 2016 when someone uploaded a video on YouTube, if I remember correctly it was called "Help me identify this song." It was audio of Show You My Hand ft. Claire Baldwin but in mono sound. We identified the song somewhere around the start of 2023 I'm pretty sure. I decided to search through his discography and FELL IN LOVE. I even documented a song from John that wasn't on the internet (Does the Wind Blow?)
