Your Brain on Music - Johnny J Blair - Toured with the Monkees
“Singer at Large” Johnny J. Blair has been playing music professionally since the 1980s, having toured internationally, released many recordings, and worked with major artists. However, over the years, one of his joys is to perform for the residents in assisted living homes. “I’ve played the Royal Albert Hall, Disney, Las Vegas, cruise ships, temples in India, and little places all over the world, but there’s something special about playing for our ‘seasoned citizens.’” Johnny’s set includes familiar songs from The Great American Songbook (Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, Hank Williams, folk songs), Elvis Presley, “The Rat Pack” (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin), movies (Sound of Music, Mary Poppins), “cowboy songs” (Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioneers), and much more.
