he used to teach at my highschool im a freshman hoped to get him this year then found out her transfered to our districts middle school!!!! i was devestated!
I love this guy. Love his music. He's one of those underrated musicians, while those as Gaga, Britney and Bieber take all the fame. (no offence, even I like some of their songs, I'm just trying to say that this guy here, Mr.Hampson deserves more, should be known and appreciated much more than this..). Btw, I wish he was my English teacher! Wonder how it was to sit in his class. I actually love literature.. But I'd probably be humming his songs all the time :))
My teacher goes on and on about her stupid personal life, never teaches us anything important, yells at us if we fail a test, and has the mosy annoying voice in the world!
I met John. Real nice guy, very down to earth. Performed this song also. He did a great job on all the stuff he played. People forget what real music is and what lyrics have to do with it. If you want to learn, follow his lead.
haha, shit.....hope he didn't encourage the class to use profanity. j/k. underrated songwriter from the 90's. However, I have much more respect for him now as a teacher and still sharing his talents.
Wow... what a treat. This was and is one of my favorite songs. Much respect to him for sharing his talent by teaching. Thanks for posting this. I really like acoustic performances that reveal a natural ability beyond the studio mixes. This guy is a real musician.
He is such nice guy. Laid back, modest. This was at a conference for high school newspaper kids at Columbia University... and he was really great to all of us who remember the song from when we were little =)
@gillian828 he's my english teacher. he's a really great guy :) he tells us stories from when he was famous and tells us about origins of his songs, talks about his sons, Luke and Brody, and he's rather funny. he often pulls out his guitar and sings when we don't have anything to do. he even sings songs he decided not to publish
Ahh, thanks for posting this! It's nice to see John performing solo with an acoustic guitar (that's always how his songs seem to sound the best). I hope you got to talk to him a bit - he's a really nice guy, family man, teacher, etc.
I actually did get to speak with him for a while. He was running a session at Columbia on writing lyrics and was very nice and very personable. His stories were great xD
HES A TEACHER!!! WOW hes good!!! i wish i had this class!!!
