Back Alley John
Back Alley John (born John Carl David Wilson),〔Nicole Wilson, (Profile of Back Alley John ); www.calgarybluesfest.com. Profile in relation to receipt of Calgary Blues Music Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award, 2008. Nicole Wilson is identified as Back Alley John's niece. Retrieved 2014-08-18.〕 (February 10, 1955 – June 22, 2006) was a Canadian blues singer, songwriter and harmonica player.
==Beginnings, 1969-1971: Ottawa to Venice, California==
Born into a strict military family in Ottawa, Ontario, the young John Wilson rebelled and ran away from home, travelling to Venice Beach, California at the age of 14 in a stolen truck.〔 He stayed in Venice for approximately two years, making a living as a busking harmonica player, and it was in Venice that he acquired the name "Back Alley John". As his brother, Peter Wilson, recalls, "When he got (to Venice), he needed money and he had been playing harmonica since he was little, so he started busking. The street people there kind of took him under their wing and they said 'Listen John, you can't busk on the street 'cause you'll get arrested. You've gotta busk in the back alleys.' So he busked in the back alleys of Venice for a couple of years and that's how he was named Back Alley John."〔〔Heath McCoy, (Blues scene remembers 'real deal' Back Alley John ). ''Calgary Herald'', June 28, 2006. Predecessor Canadian blues singer and harmonica player, King Biscuit Boy was similarly named by others - in his case, by Ronnie Hawkins. Back Alley John recounted that he did not run away from home, as his brother recalls; he was thrown out, at the age of thirteen.
