Wayne St. John's official web site; has music to download. St. John has extended his boundaries now as an Inventor. Wayne plays the Pan flute, is a singer, writer/musician, actor, recording artist , choir director, vocal coach, and talent agent. Wayne St. John has been in the 'Music Industry' for forty years and has continually expanded his knowledge in many areas. Mr. St. John's entrepreneurial business strategies have placed him among the unique entities in his fields. He's a positive thinker with a spiritual eloquence, a vision weaver; a seeker of the truth, his vision quest has always drawn him to be apart of helping humankind come together and raising the vibration on the planet to the level of 'One Love' and or 'One Race' partly through music and lyrics that speak to the times we're in. Sounds idealistic, impossible? Well his latest album Kiss My Planet has all the ingredients to make people think. The lyrics on this album begs the the question, how long can we keep this up? Watching and contributing to the destruction of Gaia Mother Earth while we so do little to change our bad habits, all the while being caught up in all the distractions that keeps us from our true path and the real reason why we are spirit beings having this physical experience. We must open our minds.

'Song For My Father' A song by Horus Silver Doug Riley, Dr. Music, aka Doc. April 24, 1945 - August 28, 2007
Doug Riley, Canada's 'Dr. Music,' dies at 62 I have personally logged hundreds of recording hours with the gentle giant, Doug Riley or 'Doc' as the friends that worked with him often called him. Upon hearing the news of his death early Tuesday morning of August 28th, I felt sick that whole day. Rob McConnell once asked me when we were working on a CBC multiple recording for me, "Wayne who is God in this town" and I replied "Doug Riley" and he said "You better believe it, because he has continually given the most work to the most musicians in this town for many years". The first time I saw Doug play was in the early 60's at Al Steiner's Club Bluenote. He was a remarkable an enigmatic player then and I got to work with Doc for the last time on the Tribute to Domenic Troiano on May 29th 2007, and at one point that evening, Doug was all by himself on the Hammond B3 and by the end of his solo I felt like I was levitating. That's what he was capable of doing consistently. I owe so much to Doc for all the work and magical hours in the recording studio doing 25 of CBC's TV half hour 'Music Machine' in 1974, featuring Dr. Music and Soul Company. I sang on some of his film scores, jingles and playing live with him in Dr. Music and he came out and sat in with me when I was playing drums and singing.

On
July 20, 2005, Wayne received an email from a record collector in
New Jersey and he told Wayne that his 1971 45 single
'Stand Up' (Baby)
was selling on Ebay for $400.00 for a used copy in 2002!
As it turns out Stand Up (Baby) is a collectors item as it was one
of those releases which missed the major radio exposure when it
was released. Soon you'll be able to buy some original out of the box copies at this site. The group name on the single is 'Saint John', formally 'Hairafter' on Frank Davies' Strawberry Records label. Wayne's biography links below will detail his area of expertise, his history and qualifications. If you need to hire a Choir for a corporate event you've come to the right place! Wayne once opened for the Toronto Rock Awards show at Massey Hall. He and Vivianne Williams and his 62 voice choir tore the place up with one of Wayne's gospel burners called 'Treasure of Freedom'. The most outstanding thing about the gig was, Wayne quipped, "There was not one problem with anything or anybody even with that large group of people who sang like angels".
