Little-known fact(s)? (1) "John Littlejohn" is actually my real name, (2) I have a chauffer's license, so if this music thing doesn't work out I might be driving your next cab.
Favorite color? Green
Non-music jobs? Arby's, Kroger (twice), Baby-sitting (6th grade), Day-Laborer, Hastings Video, Books & Music (Cashier w/vest and flare), E.S.L. Tutor, Library Assistant (twice), Stage Crew, R.A. (Aspen Music School), Secretarial Assistant (Peabody), Minority Peer Advisor (Univ. of Mich.), Inner-City Outreach Mentor (tutor, driver/chauffer, events coordinator) ...My worst job: Working for the Eskimo Pie factory. I was under the impression that I'd be making ice cream but I was sorely disappointed. Instead, I was stuck outside spraying chicken-goop off of huge plastic egg crates. Why there were chickens at an ice-cream factory, I couldn't say.
Most interesting/funny gig? I’ve had some crazy musical experiences but the first one that comes to mind is a concert in 1995 with the Blue Lake International Youth Symphony in a small German village. The audience was extremely enthusiastic but was comprised of EIGHT people, one of whom had a heart attack after the second movement of the symphony and was carried out on a stretcher by paramedics during the third movement. I’ll never forget the sound of sirens as the remaining seven audience members tried to revive the victim.
Random television/media moment(s)? (1) That "black" kid in the D.A.R.E. brochure (1988). I say "black" because it was a black/white photo so I was actually "black." (2) TLC's "A Make-Over Story" (2004) as a friend of the make-over recipients.
Favorite superhero? Superman
Favorite restaurant? Any 24-hour breakfast diner. My favorite one is the "Blue Moon Cafe" in Baltimore, MD.
Embarrassingly often-misspelled word(s)? "Solm Fresh"...okay seriously..."restaraunt" ("restaurant")
Early-Bird or Night-Owl? Early-bird. I got kids!
Favorite Quote? This changes frequently but lately it's been Amos 3:3, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" A close second is Jeremiah 21:6, "And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence." Just kidding!
What does Psalm Fresh mean to you? Psalm Fresh is God "showing off." I would have never believed I'd be blessed to work with such fantastic musicians who also love God. It's a big responsibility to lead such a talent-filled group because I'm a serious fan of each musician.
