Help Johnny get a new set of Teeth!

 

Our friend Johnny needs a little assistance! John "Boom" Brumbach is a veteran Chicago musician who has been blowing his horn for 50 years, and in his words, has got some bad teeth. They worked okay for his first couple years, but now they are giving him some trouble. Johnny spends his days as a community helper, taking care of his beautiful wife Emma. Emma has her struggles, and is handicapped,  Johnny is her primary caregiver. When he isn't spending time with her, he is giving back to his community. One of his favorite ways of giving is playing the saxophone, and has done so with some amazing musicians. In his 5 decade musical journey he has played with likes of Chaka Khan, Parliament/Funkadelic, Jermaine Jackson, Bloodstone, Gap Band, Erwin Helfer, and Sunnyland Slim to name a few. Although he has had great career so far, in order to continue he needs to get a new set of chompers. Johnny is a pretty humble guy, and it took a little convincing to get this started. But, knowing Johnny, and how much he gives to the community it is definitely worth while to try help him out.

 

 

Included below are some links to some of his work. in the first video he playing is at Andy's in Chicago with Dave Specter and Lurrie Bell, the second he is playing at the Chicago Blues Fest also with Dave Specter. The last video is a groovy time warp to 1975 to see Johnny play with the great Chaka Khan. He's the guy with the biggest bush! So even if you don't decide to donate, you have some great tunes to listen to! I know any amount is appreciated, and thanks for stopping by!
