Pat McIntire all of these are on spotify

@@aidennicoli1283 numb nuts. He made tapes and these where special takes of the songs. They may sound differnt and he didn't duplicate tapes like these. Very special 🙏

@@aidennicoli1283each tape he gave were all different, none were the same, each time he gave one he re-recorded every song

Love the Alfred E. Neumann profile picture

​@@aidennicoli1283 you're an idiot. Yea, everyone has a personally signed, hand drawn tape.....clearly this is all avaliable for streaming 🙄🤣

Please please seek it! What a piece of art it must be if it represents his music and life at the time. I dont wanna sound greedy but it seems like a legendary level tape that i, along with tons of other people who have heard and reheard every last thing hes made, would die to hear. I totally respect that ur not publishing it without permission though. This tape seems crazy important in understanding his art beyond his regular discography

If you ever do gain permission, please do upload this. It’s an incredibly important artifact in his musical footprint and music of the time as a whole

you should contact him :) if you need help with that I'm sure I can try to find a way to get in touch

I’m subscribing to you in case you get permission, and you decide to upload it.. it’d be great 👍🏼

I don't want to sound morbid but maybe now is your chance now that he's has past

Yeah such a one of a kind the world spat on him and mocked him till he dropped dead

Thank you.

This so true, support your friends and listen to them, must people have talent but nobody want to hear them.

Chill out, mate. There is nothing wrong with fans wanting to hear this, or asking to hear this. If the bloke doesn't want to share it, obviously he doesn't have to but in many cases this is how previously lost media gets found - people own a single copy, someone contacts them about it, they share it, other people hear it. I understand where you're coming from but it's asinine to paint the people who want to hear it as "vultures" mate.

@@MeiClover hes calling them vultures because people were being legitimately rude abt it. One guy directly replied in the npr video that John commented on to "share it or fuck off"

@@eeplordsupreme There will always be people like that. It's unfortunate as, and can ruin things for others. Regardless, labeling them all as vultures is a harsh generalisation.

Agreed

there is a version of queen of wierton on youtube now

Well that's a little strong. John's concern seems to be more with not having permission, that not wanting to share it.

You are a beautiful person. You have so much to give to the world. People need more love and understanding like you have. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to speak to me. I really appreciate you.

Thank you. They say in life you are a rich man if you can count a true friend on one hand. Danny made me a rich man, he was one of the best friends I have ever had.

Thank you for telling me you love me. I needed to hear that right now. Thank you. I love you too. Growing up with Danny (as we called him) was great. He was my good friend. He was always a very nice person that had a pure heart. You don't meet many people like him today in this world. He would stay all night at my house and I would stay at his house. His mom would make us breakfast and lunch. Seeing all the pictures from his home in West Virginia on the internet brought back a lot of childhood memories. I used to sit next to him at the piano in his parents basement and try to play my guitar along with his songs. He told me he still had the tapes of us he made. I had hoped to visit him in Texas and listen to them with him, but now he has gone home. One day I will see him again. Knowing him as a teenager and seeing what happened to him made me cry. I wanted to hug him and heal him. His disease took away a big part of him that I knew. He still remembered the things we did as kids, but a part of him was broken. it was very sad to see my friend and what he had become. He used to tell me " We have to escape the working class" I never did. I'm glad he did and lived his dream. God Bless

@@johnfair62 Thanks to you John, god bless ur soul, actually I needed to hear something like that too, Im feeling out of this world, since Im a kid I like to write, sketch and play just little Daniel used to do and everytime I see how society used to treat him I cry, I feel in his skin, I know what its like and its terrible what happened to him, I hated the fact that they try to put pressure on him to do albums, to do great music to earn money, he didnt wanted that, he just was expresing himself and following his dreams, but now I feel peace to know that he could follow his dream just the way he wanted and I feel really happy to know he has such a nice friend like you, you dont imagine how important this is for me John, you just shared with me a part of Daniel that I know I cannot read on any site, is just your life experience and its beatiful, Im so gratefull for this, because he help me find a way to love myself (Im still working on that) and be myself and he always been miles away from me, now he is even far away and Im sad because of that but it also makes me happy that he find some relief after all the pain he suffer. In every word you write you show us how much you love him and how much you still think of him and all the memories you have together. Im sorry, my english is not the best but I would like to remember you that youre doing really great in life and you just have to keep on making him proud, im sure he is watching you and he still remember you as well!

The world cannot wait for John Fair to pass away, too. The world needs Daniel Johnston's healing NOW. It's what he would have wanted.

Not really, Danny will always have the same piece of my heart. I know I will see him again one day.

Thank you. Danny was a great guy. One of my best friends growing up. I hope you are doing well also.

Thank you, but I will see him again in a blink Jesus said.

We were good friends to each other.

Exactly.

Danny was my very good friend. We hung out together often. He would stay all night at my house and I would stay at his. His Mom would make us breakfast and lunch. We hung out in his parents basement. When you see him young playing the piano in pictures, I sat next to him many times listening to his songs and played my guitar along with him at that piano. He would draw at a table in the basement and teach me to draw with him. Nothing I drew was ever close to what he could do. He was an amazing artist. He would draw eaten apple cores with a leg. He had the craziest ideas. Eyeballs with wings. We loved it! We thought it was wonderful. Later in life I moved on and when I found out about him being popular I bought his CDs at a record store. When I played them it was reliving my childhood. The songs were the same ones he played for me as a teenager. I heard them all before the world did. I really loved him and he loved me. I went to New Orleans to see him about a year before he passed I think. He remembered it all. I told him I stopped coming over as my parents kicked me out. I had an abusive home life. He never knew that as a friend when we were teenagers. In New Orleans I told him what happened and even in his physiological disturbed mind he said " I will take care of you" He still loved my after all those years. It really touched me. It really hurt me to see my childhood friend go from the person I had known to the state he was in at New Orleans. It made me cry. I wished I could have hugged him and brought back the friend I knew, but the mental illness and medication had took a huge part of him away. I hope when he passed he was made whole and is enjoying his existence in Heaven. He certainly deserves it. Thank you for your comments and appreciating my friend.

John Fair 💛

The story really inspired me I bought a shirt from the collab and it gave me some stickers from his art if u want I will gladly send them to u for free if u want just let me know what is you Facebook, Twitter, etc and I can do that for you!

You didn't other people have for some reason.

Either way, it's amazing to see, and will be very excited if Dick decides to release it. Glad you met up with him too

Nah you probably were trying to give him a hard time stop lying. You were just proved wrong that's it.

Thank you for liking Daniels's music. As his friend growing up he used to say " We have to beat the working class." His dream was to be an artist. He made it and I was always proud of him for being brave enough to live his dreams.

Blessed to have had such a good friend like him in this world.

good luck man

No need to be a "star." It's all a bunch of evil Hollywood brainwashing bullshit. Just be yourself.

Danny was great. He was normal back then with no problems. We had a lot of fun. I was heart broken when I seen him at the Joy theater. He remembers everything about when we were kids but mostly he just sat there with his head down. I think he was medicated.

Danny was, He was a true friend.

@@johnfair62 he's now a huge inspiration to me! I found his work 3 weeks ago, now I'm addicted! I'm gonna be getting a chord organ to play some of his classic tunes.
