Johnnyswim is a folk, soul, blues, pop music duo consisting of singer-songwriters Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez. The duo formed in 2005 in Nashville, Tennessee.〔 ==Origin== Ramirez trained as a musician at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in his native Jacksonville, Florida. Sudano spent summers touring the world as a backing singer for her mother Donna Summer. Ramirez and Sudano first met after Sunday service at a church in Nashville, Tennessee.〔 Four years later Sudano attended a songwriting workshop held by Ramirez and became interested in writing songs with him.〔 The pair formed a songwriting partnership and called themselves Johnnyswim.〔 The inspiration for the duet's name is an ongoing inside joke. Originally it was believed that the name came from the scene in the classic movie ''Jaws'' when a character named Johnny is attempting to flee from the shark as his friend shouts from the pier, "Swim, Johnny, swim!"〔 An interview with Vogue revealed that the two planted the Jaws story on their Wikipedia entry. The article then states that the name Johnnyswim actually comes from the name of Amanda’s goldfish when she was a kid. The fish died and floated to the top of the bowl, and Amanda’s mom was trying to get rid of it before Amanda could find it. But Amanda walked in and started yelling “No wait—he’s alive! Johnny, swim!” It was such a cute story that the two decided it should be the name of their band—so Johnny can still live on. At the beginning of episode 65 of "Live from Daryl's House" broadcast in February 2014 Ramirez tells a different story of the origin of the name "Johnnyswim" in that it refers to him being attacked on his back porch by a neighbor's cat, Johnny, after which his dog, Sandwiches, chases Johnny into a nearby stream. The neighbor, Amanda Sudano, runs to help her cat and yells, "Swim, Johnny, swim!". Hence, the band's name. However, the story does not correlate with biographical data about how Ramirez and Sudano met. Johnnyswim regularly perform new material for the ''New Music Mondays'' installment on their official YouTube Channel. The duo also cover songs by a range of artists like Edith Piaf and Britney Spears. Sudano and Ramirez were married in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.swankycelebs.com/2012/05/amanda-sudano-ramirez-youngest-daughter-of-donna-summer/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnnyswim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
