One of the biggest hoots was meeting Doc Severinsen. Johnny and I snuck backstage where our humble and modest Mr. Gage said, Doc, I am Johnny Gage and this is my principle trumpet student, Jay Glasgow. Doc politely shook my hand and said hello, and then said something that made my jaw drop to the floor. He shook Johnnys hand as he said, So, you are THE Johnny Gage.
For many of us that have had the privilege and honor to study under Johnny, we are aware of the impact of his dedicated teaching immediately while we are in the thick of it. But we do not realize the depth and reach of his influence until many years later.
P.S. I want the Moeck c3w mouthpiece when you are done with it, Johnny.

Hi John Gage! I didn't know that you had a website. This is so cool! I can't wait till 0 period orchestra with you in high school! Then I can see once a day instead of once a week. You do know that during the year Wednesday is my highlight of the week. I allways love comming into the orchestra room on wednesday. It's full of positive encouragement, the love for positive music, and best of all Jesus's love. See you on the first day of school! |

Thank you for a great workshop at FBC Alexandria 3/3-4/07. Playing keyboard strings with you directing was a thrill. My big secret is that I am very visually impaired and read one half a measure at a time, and you gave me the confidence to play well. Thank you again. |

It is a thrill to find your website. Several years ago, I had the grand honor & privilege to play under you at a concert by the Kentucky Baptist Convention at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green, KY. This was one of the most blessed experiences ever as a church musician & I appreciated the scripture reading after each piece we performed. I was one of two bass trombonists (I also play tuba). I hope someday I will have that privilege to play under you again. You are truly a blessing. |

Hey John I just found your website. Great job! In Cuba me, Doc and Van Hook couldn't talk you into taking one of the solos even though you could play them all better than us and now you've got solos on the web. That's cool but I would have never believed it. The solos are great. Now that I've got your solos I'm getting rid of all my Phil Smith, Maurice Andre, Wynton, etc. cds. You are still in my prayers. Love ya brother. |

llo John,
Bro. Phillips told me that you had returned and now have a website. It is very nice! We are still using and appreciate the hymnbooks that you provided us. We thank you very much! You may also be interested to know that your music continues to be enjoyed by the listeners of 91.7 FM here in Idaho Falls. It really compliments the classic gospel format. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and thank you again, and may the Lord richly bless you and your ministry.

John,
What a nice surprise to meet you in person at our East Wing concert at the Nixon Library recently!
My trumpet students and I are really enjoying your warmups book and the example/playalong CD is an excellent idea - Many of my students' families are raving at the nice, musical sounds coming out of the practice room, when once, only exercises dominated the air! ;)
Looking forward to the next book - saw a sneak peak at the text, but did not get to hear the CD yet.
Thanks for your ministry and heart - please include this in your encouragment file for future use!
Bernie

Thanks for playing at First Baptist Hartwell. You were fantastic! I knew you must be good , but I did not know just how much you would add to our ensemble until you played. Wow! Thanks again and I hope you will come back and play some solos for us.
In Christ,
