What can I say? I had to have something to follow Bang On.
I wrote this song to John Lennon at Christmas 1999. It was hard to believe that it had been 19 years since his murder.
The recording arrangement and dynamic of Dear John were based on Mick Fleetwood’s drum track.
He was playing to a different song.
The Dear John single was first released in December 1999 on MP3.com records.
It is now available on “iTunes” and CD Baby with the original cover shot of me at the piano at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
