from:unknown
if this is the same guy who goes by john guerin, and plays drums, in the mid 70's he played with the la express with tom scott, i believed he was eithermarried to or "going steady" with atthis time as he played on several cuts on her "court & spark"album i believe. he also played drums on a very good studio big-band albumwritten by pat williams which contained the oft played by college bands tuneentitled "threshold". i believe john was a top call la studio drummerin this era.
from:unknown
john was also in a latter-day version of the byrds (early 70's) formed tofulfill contractual concert obligations.
mikekolesar(mkolesar@aol.com) sez:
john was indeed a member of the l.a. express, and played on a number of jonimitchell albums in the 70's. he mayvery well have been romantically involved with her at one time (so what? whowasn't!). he was definitely one ofthe top l.a. studio drummers of the 70's, and i last heard about him in afeature interview in "modern drummer" magazine circa fall, 1978.
shaunguerin(sguerin@midiman.net) said:
my father, john guerin is alive and well and still playing drums on albums andmovies. he just got back from playing with bobby caldwell in n.y and he'scurrently working on a project with roger kelleway. i guess you could say i'mfollowing in his foot steps as a drummer and also a composer. you can hear me onthe t.v. show "the naked truth" on nbc thursday nights after seinfeld.also co-wrote the music for a movie called "american tigers" which isan international release.
from:tom tuerff(ttuerff@pros1.com)
i ran across a website for john guerin which has a few pics and generalinformation:. he mentions fz in the very first paragraph of his bio.
