His mind, his voice, his hopes, his dreams, in one word, was his music - His downs were few, when in its harmony, he wrapped his thoughts in melody - The comfort he showed was part of his own lyrics, constructed to ease himself and others to rest - To some, his seclusion meant exile - But with seclusion and his music, he came to know the truth about himself - The panic of others was left unnoticed, along with fears of what can't be - And he saw what he knew to be, within his verse - John Hansen

John Hansen (Nylon John)

Hello everyone - My name is John Hansen (Nylon John) - I started playing guitar at age 10 - I've played electric, steel, and classical - For the past four years, I have been playing a hand-made Alvarez classical almost exclusively - I've written many songs over the years - But I took a break 30 years ago to write the 3 most beautiful songs I will ever manage to write - Those 3 songs are my children; John II, Annie, and Shawnee - So recently, I've been trying to write songs that will compliment my beautiful children - In addition, I am playing and composing new songs and reviving old ones with my brother Pete Hansen - He is by far the best musician I have ever encountered - (Piano, guitar, bass, singing, and a most profound lyricist) - We are putting together songs from a very long list, both recent projects and those from years past - I appreciate the opportunities and connections provided by Broadjam - Thanks to all - John
