Junkyard Jonny's presentation brought enthusiasm and spirit to our festivities. Both young
and old audience members enjoyed his show, which was both educational and entertaining
at the same time. Nabila Kara, Coordinator-World Patnership Walk, Ottawa, Ontario." The students and staff really enjoyed the manner in which Junkyard Jonny delivered the very important message of the 3 R's. He certainly developed a rapport with the students and the teachers were impressed with the terrific audience participation." John Campbell, Principal, Cameron St. Public School, Collingwood, Ontario. Junkyard Jonny showed many creative ways to make music and sound. Valerie Allen, Rockland Public School, Rockland, Ontario. We loved Junkyard Jonny! He is talented, entertaining and has wonderful crowd control. Bernadette Murphy, St. Philip School, Richmond, Ontario. Junkyard Jonny was AWESOME! All age groups enjoyed it so much, and teachers too! Great audience interaction and partcipation! He inspired the Environment Club to encourage the student body in amazing 3R activities. His performance was wonderful for Earth Week plus it met so many music curriculum expectations. We can't wait to see Junkyard Jonny again!
