O talento já nasce com os privilegiados, e o Johnny é um deles, pois nasceu com uma voz diferenciada, única, e teve ainda a felicidade de conhecer Paul Burlison, um dos maiores guitarristas de rock n' roll, cuja habilidade técnica também é única; são gênios, e que os 'Deuses' os tenham, no reino da glória. maneco - Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil.
