So sorry to hear this. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

I finally got to meet PJ at last year's convention. Wonderful, down-to-earth guy. He even looked over a transcription I did of one of his songs. I wish him a speedy healing and only good things thereafter. |

Absolutely. Seeing PJ walk around and beam with pride and give bands the thumbs up almost brings tears to my eyes. He helped start all this! Not to mention getting the chance to see him perform at every convention has been one of the highlights every year! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Just double pick the high E Paul, that should kill off any problem. Get well, we are all behind you on this. |

Yesterday, I went to visit Paul in the hospital, along with Matt Quilter and Marty Tippens. Paul's daughter was there to greet us, and fill us in on how he's been doing with his various treatments. We had arrived just in time to watch him "enjoy" his hospital dinner. He was in good spirits and very appreciative when we told him how many people are pulling for him, with prayers, well wishes and good vibes. It makes a difference to one's recovery, when you know that there are so many people out there in the world, with your well being in their thoughts. Here's to a speedy and full recovery for PJ! —

Truly happy to hear that he's in good spirits! I deeply hope he's doing alright and that the treatments are going well.
Here, here! Paul, you are truly THEE gentleman of surf, and the surf music revival has not had a bigger supporter than you - and, similarly, the first wave of surf music has not had a better first-person historian than you! Your contributions to this beloved genre of ours are too great to be listed here, but please know that they are GREATLY appreciated by MANY of us! You've been an inspiration, and I personally am extremely grateful for everything you've done. I'll second everything Brian wrote just above, too - seeing you walk in front of stage as a sign of approval of a band has been another wonderful thing. And just seeing you at all the conventions has always been one of the highlights for me, as well! You've been in my thoughts ever since I heard this news, and I'm sending as much positive vibes and energy your way as I can! Be strong and fight hard and see you again soon! —Ivan |

This just in from Paul Johnson (he dictated this to me during a hospital visit today): Words can't convey the depth of my appreciation for your support during this trial. Please be assured i'm doing as well as can be expected under these circumstances. Knowing that the heart of the surf music community is with me is a big part of the process. Looking forward to play for you again ASAP. —www.johnblair.us Last edited: Jul 27, 2018 17:00:19 |
