john joined mike griffin and john cleghorn in 1989. shortly thereafter mike reibenstien joined the group and junk poets were formed.....and magic was created. john was by far the least experienced of the group but quickly became a valuable vocal and song writing asset.
interestingly, john was contacted off of an index card posted at a local music store. he had played with what he thought was most of the local talent in the area and to make things interesting he posted his name as "boris littlejohn". it was only after several weeks that he told the other members of junk poets of the "joke". too late....the name had stuck and john was labeled as "boris" for the first several years of junk poet's career.
john is very active in
the local music scene. he has played in several local bands including romy
knight, nvu, the boxes, and boyd.
he is also co-owner and designer of a north texas live music web site called
musicstew.
