Mathis continues to be Columbia Records longest-signed recording artist, and to fans of all ages “The Voice of Christmas!” In spite of a very busy tour schedule and many charity events, Mathis still finds time to enjoy a little free time. He was an avid tennis player until the late 1960s when a good friend turned him on to his now life-long love of golf. He plays golf almost every day when he’s not traveling, and has even hosted his own golf tournament: The Johnny Mathis Seniors PGA Classic. He is also quite the gourmet chef thanks to his parents, who taught him how to cook at an early age. After 64 years as a Recording Artist, what’s next for Johnny Mathis? “I don’t think about retiring. I think about how I can keep singing for the rest of my life. I just have to pace myself.” Gary Mule Deer Gary Mule Deer’s comedy and music have set him apart as one-of-a-kind.
