SONG-A-WEEK: JOHNNY GUITAR ~ RICK BERLIN

Waaay back when Orchestra Luna II replaced the original band, Steven Paul Perry joined up. I wrote Johnny Guitar for him and began the song with a weirdo (pretentious?) monologue (Berlin as Patti Smith?) that kicked in the 'idea' of a boy who won the world. Even wrote a screenplay based on the idea. Although we never played the song after LUNA I stuck it in here with THE MOVIE as the best place to honor Steven who has only recently 'lifted off' from earth into the stars.
Band: Bobby Bandon (keys), Chet Cahill (bass, vocals), Steven Paul Perry (guitar, vocals), Joe Pet (kit), Berlin (vocals), Billie Best (mgr).
