Linda Johnson - Alto Horn
Linda has been part of Beck's Band since spring of 2021. Jim Beyer repeatedly tried to recruit her so when another Wednesday evening commitment ended, she stated playing alto horn with Beck's. She thoroughly enjoys the challenge as a musician and the camaraderie of the group.
Linda started playing French horn in 7th grade and played through all of high school and college. After a 17 year break, she started playing with her church orchestra and has continued since. She has played with community bands in NJ and PA. After a recent move from NJ to PA, she is exploring opportunities to play the French horn but most bands rehearse on Wednesday night.
Linda and her husband, Al, are both musically inclined and met in the band program at the University of Minnesota where she earned a Bachelors of Chemistry. Besides music, Linda enjoys sewing, calligraphy, travel, walking and finding new things to try.
