For Lost & Found, John lays down the low end, plays keyboards, and provides backing vocals.  He believes that music may in fact be the greatest “life sport,” providing mental stimulation and rich human interaction far into the upper years.  John feels he is just entering his prime and is thankful to be devoting more and more time to music these days, after raising four grown children with his wife Susan.
