Relax into this picture and let it wash away your tensions.

1997- Boy From The Country

On October 5, 1997, twenty-one years ago tomorrow, John sang this tribute song to St. Francis in a humble and honoring way during his last performance.

38 minutes into this video link (above), John's testimony begins. 
He speaks eloquently and informatively, and inspires those present.  Unfortunately, this video cuts off before John finishes the impromptu remarks he was making, and also the playing of his latest tribute song, They Were Flying For Me.  See below for a video link to a performance of this song.
