"John Denham Productions"




Last Thursday evening provided an opportunity to visit former student, John Denham, at his home and recording studio . . . "the High Grass Ranch"! I remember John as creative, interested in writing music, possessing a positive attitude, remarkable wit, and always a smile on his face! As I approached his house Thursday, I noticed his impressive outdoor grill! "Did you see my doorbell?" . . . John asked. Squeeze the rubber chicken and . . . "aarrrkk!!" John is made aware of his visitors . . thus he has . . "Chicken on the Grill!"
John has produced numerous CDs for clients including Chris "Swim Skinny" Baer, an opening musician for Jimmy Buffett. Presently John is in collaboration with Phil Drake, noted local Jazz pianist to produce a CD in the near future. It was a treat to see his amazing studio and hear some of his work . . . quite an advancement from the Music Theory days of THS! John was raised in a musical family and proudly continues to share talents with his Father, Ray!

John has a tremendous passion for rockabilly, Elvis, the Beach Boys, and above all, his family and their musical history.

Thanks for the invitation to visit the HGR! Success always in your musical endeavors, John! It was a pleasure . . . . . PILGRIM!
