𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 Scott Ward Productions and John Jorgenson! "Danger Zone" was named one of the Top 50 Songs of 2024 by Goldmine: The Music Collector's Marketplace Magazine. 🏆

🖊 A note from producer Scott Ward:
"I first met John when Gadsden State's show band opened for The Desert Rose Band in 1990. He was also one third of the amazing guitar trio 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜, and played guitar and woodwinds in Elton John's band in the late 90s. He has always been one of my heroes and is the most versatile musician I have ever had the privilege of knowing. John played all the instruments on this track."
