2015: January 31: Cover Repertoire
Since I have become available for more and more types of solo performance engagements, I thought it would be nice to publish a list of some of the cover material that I have been known to play. While I enjoy performing my own original music at concerts, I also play for fine restaurants, country clubs, hotels, corporate events, senior centers, etc. Along with featured concert events, I play background music as the situation requires. Got a special holiday or anniversary in mind? Thinking of doing a house concert? I could be your man.
2015: January 30: Wide Assortment Of Bookings

2014: July 30: Welcome!
I hope you will enjoy this newly launched version of JohnFrancisGuitar.Com – I am trying out some new features that I think you will like. The layout and design should make it easier to navigate and allow for more frequent updates. I expect to be expanding some areas such as the new area for scores which uses Scrib’d as for viewing and downloading digital sheet music. The video and music sections are much larger, but I can easily rearrange the selections. The photo section uses Flash, but there will soon be an alternative gallery for those browsers and devices that do not support it and an even more flashy option for those that would like even more bells and whistles. An important consideration is the “responsiveness” of the site to other devices and browsers. This may take a little time to optimize for every device, but it already looks great in Puffin Browser if you are using and iPad and Android. I have also created a lighter mobile friendly version.
As always, I thank you for your support and look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
John Francis
