Johnny was a dog firom our then neighbours who moved from my birthcity Enschede to elswhere...in Holland.They just went and left him in the street our area the Acaciaplantsoen behind...As the area is an area with a grassfiield surrounded by street and houses and Johnny didn`t start to roam but became kind of the house dog in our whole street...As my mum never wanted any pets we didn`t take him but gave him from time to time some food as others in the area did too...So he stayed for many years around...As i myself was sometimes away and to and fro, i became aware at a certain time that Johnny was gone...Johnny inspired me to write this song....... GOOD OLD JOHNNY music and lyrics by Herman Hanauer

Dat is een bijzondere Johnny, Herman. Dat je een liedje over hem hebt geschreven, is wel heel bijzonder. En een mooi lied! Fijn dat jullie allemaal voor hem hebben gezorgd!

ahhh that was such a sweet song. when people desert their pets, it's sometimes a cruel fate that awaits them but in this case, it sounds like Johnny got a whole lot of attention from everyone.
totally enjoyed this
