THE music made by Johnny Guitar Watson is multifaceted and timeless. This music should be reintroduced to the public once again. I believe I have noticed a "generation gap" as the best way I can describe it that will be enriched and positively influenced by his music. I only promote what I believe in and for those who like the dollars there are more than they can count ! We are the best ! Coming from a family tree in music history and Now in entertainmemt the belief that music lives forver ...heals and keeps us young has provided an insight others can appreciate..! Advanced Awareness for Education in Communication with social awareness to inspire the best we can get back as we give forward to enrich lives for All ! Don't Stop This Music ! CINDI BALLER SAYS HOLLER !

No way on God's green earth Johnny Guitar Watson should not be enshrined into to Rock and Roll Hall of fame on Ninth Street at Lake Erie, Cleveland, Ohio. It's almost a insult Johnny is not in the Hall. Today's date is May 17th, 2020.

How can Johnnie not be elected.
His body of work. His stage presence. His clothes. His smile(that gold in His grill) His guitar work. His piano work.

I would love to know what it would take to get JGW into the Hall of Fame. I have been listening to his music since I was a teenager in the 1970's. He wrote, sang and played several instruments. Dude was a true Artist 100%

Introduced to the music of JGW by UK DJ legend John Peel and been a fan ever since. The music, Attitude style and showmanship. Plus who else would change their name to Johnnie 'Guitar' Watson then release an album with no guitar playing on it!
