Biography:
Born and raised in West Virginia, Johnny Staats caught the bluegrass bug right from the start. With his mother playing piano, his father playing on the guitar, and his sister on the banjo, it seemed only natural that Johnny would get his first mandolin at the young age of seven.
"Just as I started to take mandolin lessons, my teacher passed away," Staats stated, "so I took matters in my own hands, and learned to play by ear from listening to records and 8 tracks of Bill Monroe, Country Gentleman, and many more.

C G C
When the work is all done at the end of the day
G C
I sit on the porch and open my case
C F Am
I pick out a tune that matches my mood
G C
And pour it all out through wires and wood
CHORUS
G C
Wires and wood and the feelings to share
G C
Straight from the heart into the air
F C
Friends gather around everybody feels good
G C
When the spirit is singing through wires and wood
G C
If I had the money if I had my say
G C
I could sit right here make music all day
C F Am
It lifts up my mind runs deep in my blood
G C
When I lay my hands on wires and wood
Repeat Chorus
G C
When the spirit is singing through wires and wood
