After reading John's bio on the Beach Boys Band page, I had to think, "I know he's played in lots more bands, other than The Cowsills and The Beach Boys." (And it says John played with The Cowsills 1968-1999. I want to know who that cutie was, with sticks a flying, on Ed Sullivan in 1967 and who sang Cryin' and melted my Mom in 2000. LOL LOL) So I went a web seaching and found the following. I don't know what years he played in them, if this is the correct order, and I'm sure it's not a complete list. This is just a list, with the links where I found them. Following those are some other links I found mentioning John along the way.
