Jeanmarie,

Regarding the matter of buying John Barlow Jarvis's music, which
albums are you interested in buying that are not available? When I
went to Barnes & Noble and clicked to put several of the albums in my
shopping cart, I found them to be available for sale. If there is a
particular album or song that you want, let me know, and perhaps I can
find it somewhere. I'll certainly try.

Hi jeanmarie,

I like your taste in music!  John's been very much into the music
scene since the mid 70's - has quite a long list of talented people
he's played with as a Session keyboardist.  John Jarvis's bio along
with a sketch of him, can be seen at this link:
