It only seems natural to start this new section of the monthly Wail news with the most harmonious guy in wail world - the one, the only JOHN CHRISTENSEN. John was the Wail bassist from Jan 1, 2005 to April 17, 2008 and he is now the most exalted web master of www.wail-world. John was absolutely wonderful to travel with - turning us all on to new music - he was so in love with his iPod we dubbed him "jPod". If you get a chance, ask him to tell you the joke with the punch line "Run Henry Run!" -- if he can remember the rest of the joke - the punch line got enough laughs by itself. We have worked with a pretty large number of bassists and John's flowing, lyrical and supportive approach is unequaled.

John was brought up in Colorado and after teenage and 20yr old banging around became the bassist of choice in San Francisco. He moved to the Wisconsin Dells in 2004 and is now traveling around the world teaching A Course in Miracles.

John is still a bassist in demand in and around Madison and he still does a Wail gig now & again. We all became friends for life at first meeting and are all better people because of it. Thanks jPod!
