****************************************************************************
This selection and entry to this journal's music/ arts honour society section, is to honour and sample some of the work of Justin Johnson. I put an interview and newsread link above to open. Justin, originally out of Southport, NC, is now homebased in Nashville, and founder of "Roots Music School" in Nashville. Justin is a specialty type guitarist, recognized by guitar builders worldwide, and musicians from country to funk/ soul, rock to blues ... known to some as "The Wizard". He is a strings master, whether mandolin, banjo, guitar, or a number of antique vintage strings. His genre he considers as roots music and Americana. He is into custom building guitars, special modifications, custom slides, custom tuning methods, an instructor of music, theory, techniques, history and guitar, with educational books and instructional DVD's, many tips even on his YouTube channel ... Justin is top of the chain. Justin has 4 full albums, his debut album "Smoke & Mirrors" was released in 2014, which was a celebration and tribute to the art, history, and traditions. It featured 18 modern built roots instruments from around the world, loaned out from "International Cigar Box Guitar Museum", some dating back to the 1800's. Some really nice blues work too ... is why I wanted to also close out with "Cemetery Blues" ... this stuff could raise Robert Johnson from the grave! I opened below with his rockabilly surf style version of "Malaguena", which was a unique piece with a combination of genre, and a few other favourites of mine. Enough out of my mouth though ... and Thanx to Justin for all he contributes to music and the restoration and preservation too ... have fun doing much more! ... Enjoy!
