About Me |
|
| ..John Henry Olthoff is a country and folk singer-songwriter currently living in the very nice Queens, NY neighborhood of Jackson Heights. Some time after mastering the fine art of referring to himself in the third person, he wrote this: He has a small kitchen but a big heart. And a big mouth. Most Monday nights, he can be seen hollering, yodeling, and banging on his guitar in front of an occasionally shocked audience at The Red Lion on Bleecker St. in NYC's Greenwich Village. Other nights, he's out teaching math and science to Adult Education students. Or sleeping. Send him a message, or a comment, or be his friend. He's starved for attention.Oh, and by the way, his song "Buick Skylark" and "Broken Toy" were both named Finalists in 2007's Song of the Year Contest (www.songoftheyear.com).So what did you do for Christmas vacation?

Attention Seekers Blues |

| Here’s a new song that I recorded today. It’s kind of about me, exaggerated, hyperbolated, truth-stretcherated.
