Next up, rare photos of Johnny kindly provided by his son, Joseph. I am very grateful to Joe for sharing these wonderful visual memories of his Dad and for his very generous comments about this site...

This is to let you know how much I appreciated the remarkable website you have created about Dad. It includes so many of the highlights of his life and his magic. It's indeed a moving tribute that I know would have made him very happy.

Thank you, Joe. I could ask for no greater accolade.

It just remains for me to add that this is still a work in progress and only the first instalment of Joe's photos. Please note that they remain the property of the Giordmaine family and/or their respective copyright holders and may not be reproduced without their permission.
