Diamonds Diddy's and Rough Cuts, are just that, some new some older but all of them distinctly John.

DD&RC is a collection of songs recorded over the later part of the 90's. All of them are true stories,
John writes from his experience with people and life. All of them were recorded on a 4 track recorder
and mixed to a computer using Acoustica wave editor, except where noted, they all have that rough and raw feel
that could only come from the heart.
