John Pearse is one of a kind. He's a multi-faceted, multi-talented individual who's been all over the world. He has narrated anthropological movies and produced a TV series on cooking with wine. He's had music and guitar instructional series on national TV in England, Germany, and the United States. He has produced records for many major labels and produced music programs all over the world including an album for Marianne Faithful (one of Mick Jagger's women) along with some guy named Paul McCartney. He has written over 40 music books, selling over 35,000,000 worldwide (yes, you read that right). He's been an advisor for Martin Guitar, and he even had his own guitar company. He has his own line of guitar strings and accessories. He was an insurance agent for Lloyds of London. He is a Knight of the Holy Roman Empire (I'm not kidding). He even has a Doctorate of Ethnology and Ethnomusicology. And this is a short list of his accomplishments. He is a raconteur, roustabout rascal and the closest thing to a true Renaissance Man you'll ever meet. He specializes in guitar, mouthbow, dulcimer, and other weird instruments. He loves ragtime and novelty tunes, and is an absolutely amazing person. On top of all that, he tells worse pun stories than Keith does!
