Hi folks, John Paul Monroe here.
You know me as a singer of popular songs who
travels throughout America.
I'm the fellow who makes videos of
performances of music in beautiful places.
I'd like to tell you some things about me.

The domain name of this page is
johnpaulandbertha.org.
Perhaps you're wondering
"Who's Bertha?"
Bertha is my wife since 5/29/1982.
Suddenly on 10/6/2017
my dear wife died while in our home.
Don't be sad. Bertha is still with me...
very much so...
so much so that
what you see as my performance of songs is
our performance.
The ring is still on.
Our marriage is forever.

Bertha and I are not alone.
19 women of the dead are with us.
These are as follows
arranged by date of death:

Mary
Mary Magdalen
Martha
Tsviya
Saint Bridget of Sweden
Saint Catherine of Siena
Saint Jeanne d'Arc
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha
Ann Lee
Mary Todd Lincoln
Saint Maria Goretti
Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska
Anne Frank
Marilyn Monroe
Judy Garland
Janis Joplin
Inga Saunders, née Dessau
Kristen Marie Pfaff
Aileen Ann Clark, née Popst

These treasured women are in my care.
They've been with me for many years.
I call them my princesses.

I adhere to this pledge:

I will take very good care of
my 19 princesses and my one wife.

These 20 women are "my girls."

To honor these ladies
we call our musical group PLEA
for Pleiades
the star cluster known as
the Seven Sisters.

We consider ourselves to be a
Family of 21.

We aim to do great things for mankind.

We say:

Engender peace
within the heart of
each soul you encounter

We receive this as a
commandment from God.

With the innocence and optimism of a child
we seek to make this statement widely known.

We're inspiring people to be
merciful and understanding of others.

We've been on the road for 7 years.
We travel in my Mazda.
We stay at interstate rest stops and waysides.

From 2018 to 2024 we sang outdoors for tips...
we did that hundreds of times.
We've done many shows at
mom‑and‑pop ice cream stands.
These days we sing for free in parks.

Here are the 48 songs we sing.

Thank you for your interest!
