08.September 2010 um 10:57Uhr «After the awful news of John's passing,when the shock had diminished,I was able to remember the wonderful times we had together when I was a meber of the band.We were the two youngest members of the band back then and we gave poor Chris quite a few headaches. The music,the laughs we had and the privalege of knowing John and working with him are all treasured memories.The blues music scene has lost a great guitarist. We have lost a great friend. To his Family,my deepest sympathy. Stu.

Thanks John.
Eugene.

Lots of family, friends and workmates there to help you join that ever increasing band in the other place.

28.August 2010 um 16:43Uhr «Sitting here in tears, trying to come to terms with the news. I am heartsick that I failed to get the message of his death and funeral and could not join everyone in saying a proper goodbye.
John was a huge part of my life, together with Debby and the girls, in the 70s. In the early 80s he was a unique support when I had my own, very minor, brush with cancer. Since then our contact was irregular but whenever I saw him, it was as if it had only been a few weeks.
Because of his recovery from the hell-raising days, John was a precious counsellor and I continue to pass on his wise words of encouragement to this day and always will.
Recently, I have started singing the blues and I measure all guitarists by the Slaughter standard. I had a fantasy that one day we might tempt John to a jam and get on a stage together. Well, that will have to wait until I get to the big jam he has just joined.
I will miss his gentleness, his hilarious humour and, of course, his music and I will never forget him.
My thoughts are with all the family.
Be happy and well, wherever you are, John. xxx

27.August 2010 um 19:34Uhr «I grew up with John , but I moved away when I was 11 years old. I was always swapping things when I was at school, and one of the swaps was a cornet which John just had to get his hands on, which he did. I can always remember the upright piano in his front room, which he played perfectly at the age of 8or 9. And I can always remember the Hamster in the back room kept in the right hand alcove of the fire place. I am sure he told me his dad was a glass blower, not sure on that one. Well I am very sorry John has passed away, my best wishes go to all his family and his dearest and close friends. it was only by chance I typed in Johns name and discovered the sad news.

27.August 2010 um 13:04Uhr «So sad to see this news. We will always remember his music, those solos that we waited to hear in sweet anticipation, that special lick the J S signature sound, his blues band, the fuzzy hair to the dickie bows so many memories of happy nights at the 100 club as we went together from courting to being grandparents. Thank you John, a wonderfull musician and a nice man. Much too soon rest in peace.
