Happy B-DAY John Tesh!


““I was a geek in high school. I was about the same height I am now, a 6-foot-6 15-year-old with braces, smelling of Clearasil. The only way out was to get into a rock band. ... By the end, I was a rock and roll keyboardist who smelled of Clearasil.”
~~ John Tesh,
American pianist and composer of pop music, as well as a radio host and television presenter
