"...Amazing! The. . .CD is terrific!
Josh has always amazed me with his amazing voice. The man
never ages! He sounds as crisp, clear and fresh as he did
when I first saw him nearly 25 years ago! Great selection
of songs and the settings are perfect!"
- Ron Olesko, WFDU-FM, New Jersey
".
. . A master of vocal inflection and involvement, Josh White,
Jr. pushes his envelope and shows why he is considered one
of music's premier vocalists and performers….This disc
warrants awards, rave reviews, and all the attention possible!
Solid folk/blues, nothing short of magnificent!"
Mark A. Cole Big City Blues (Feb-Mar 2000)
"Josh
White, Jr. has recorded a powerful tribute with 11 of his
father's songs. He has mastered his father's guitar and
vocal techniques. . ." (Montreal Gazette)
 Josh
White Jr. knows his father's repertoire intimately and
can replicate it with great accuracy. On this lesson he
skillfully communicates Josh White's unique guitar style
in a way that is easy to follow and accessible
for all players

There is a Chinese
proverb that says: "If there is light in the soul,
there is beauty in the person; If there is beauty in the
person, there will be harmony in the home; If there is harmony
in the home, there is peace in the heart."
May your life be
filled with beauty; may your heart be filled with peace
and together we will rise and be respectful for the identity and dignity of all creation. And together we will strive
toward a world free of fear and hatred. Confucius said it
so poignantly, "Our greatest glory is not in never
failing but in rising every time we fail."
Josh and his friend, award-winning humorist, Mike Ball, took a balloon ride last July. They just happened to have a guitar with them. . .
Living History (formerly Storyliving) ~ in 1991,
Josh teamed up with the founder of Story Living,
Rändi Douglas. Living History is an interactive educational
outreach program. The purpose is to teach history and social
studies using kinesthetic, multiple intelligence activities
and as Josh says, "It is where you become the people you
are learning about and then when you become emotionally
involved, you never forget." And all this happens in the
classroom with music, imagination and role-playing. Sessions
are held in schools from third grade and up, universities,
churches, temples, community centers and at seminars."I hear and I forget ~ I see and I remember ~
I do and I understand" Contact for information/booking.
