John Davidson - biography

“I don’t know why people are so surprised by my live performances.  My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears or inspiration.  Otherwise, why should I do it?”

“Physical activity can get you going when you are immobilized.  Get action in your life, and don’t just talk about it.  Get into the arena!”
