I just found that Jon will be doing a concert about 30 minutes from me next month. Prices are reasonable, so I will likely go. However, I’m curious if anyone has seen his show… and what it’s like. Does he have a band? Since he’s coming from the UK, I don’t know… Also, does he talk about The Waltons during his performances. Any info would be appreciated!

I think he plays the blues. I don’t know if he talks about The Waltons.

He still lives in the UK, but he announced this concert in Indiana on Facebook: GREAT NEWS!!! I'm coming to the U.S.A.! Join me in Indiana for a two hour show of rockin' blues music followed by a meet and greet, at the historic Brown County Playhouse. Ticket link below.
Hope to see you there! - JW ;-)

So happy to hear this. I’m really fond of him. I can’t make it to the concert but it’s good to hear he is still active. I always wished he had done a podcast or some sort of talk show concerning The Waltons. I think of all of the cast he would have been the best one for the job. I think he would have brought all the members back, not showing any sort of prejudice or favoritism.

I read he was in the band for the singer Richard Marx in the 1990s. One of the songs from that singer that I really like was Starting Out Our Journey from the animated film Anastasia. Maybe Jon was a guitarist in that band when the song was recorded since the movie came out in 1997.

I just realized this is the weekend before the Waltons cast head out on their Nashville, TN cruise… so Jon may be making a Midwest tour…

We saw him play at the reunion in 2017 and he was fabulous. My husband loved it and he only barely tolerates my Waltons obsession. 😄 Jon is every bit as nice as you would think he is, maybe more. 💗

Maybe Jon was a guitarist in that band when the song was recorded since the movie came out in 1997. Correction, the title of the song is At The Beginning. But what I thought was the title was the line from the song that got stuck in my head. |

Ticket purchased… ready to meet my first Walton!
There is reportedly a meet-and-greet… will see how that goes.
Is anyone here attending this concert??

I always enjoyed when Jon and his wife at the time, Lisa Harrison, played at the WALTONS reunions. Both very talented! David Harper even joined them at the CA reunion in July 2004.

At the show… Jon sounds amazing… can’t believe he’s 67 years old!
I’ve snagged some video and photos - will post in a day or so when I can get things organized.
Ironing Board Blues coming up in the second half!
