Johnny Reverb Holston

Excerpts from his self-penned bio:

... I moved to Amarillo in the late 1950’s from Gulfport, Mississippi USA with my parents. My Dad made me drive the entire way even though I was only 5 at the time. Laws were more lax in those days and I sat on a beer box to see over the dash.  Seriously…...my dad had an electric guitar and amp I learned as much as I could and within a year was trying to start a band......we played at the YMCA and The Scene on Amarillo Blvd. and in surrounding towns like Perryton, Muleshoe, Spearman, Dumas, Hereford etc...  after high school off to Austin I went......I stayed in the Capitol City for 28 years... So, some time later, I ended up back in Amarillo...Johnny is currently a member of the Texas Blues Rangers.
