I will attempt to answer the question, "who is JP el Rio Bandito."
From a line of paddling slalom racers came a chap named Jon P******. He grew up racing some, kayaking with legends all over the Mid Atlantic. Many years have passed and he has migrated through Montana and up to the Northwest. Guiding rafts the whole way and working as a skilled tile man, he has funded his plethora of paddling trips and excusions all over the region.
Many times he speaks his loud and boisterous opinion, not only on this formum but in the eddy. You can hear him over any shuttle music and if you want to hear some tidbits of wisdom tune it.
The lambchops are a signature you can't miss. Keeper of the Robe watch, friend to all who float.
Every so often a man comes along... Similar to the dude.

! The only point of clarification required would be to admit my very limited slalom racing, though I have participated in a few little local races. I was heavily influenced by lots of slalom boaters early on, though, and have adapted the style in my own crude, bastardized way (rio bastardo)!
Good on ya JP! I lean towards Marshall Tucker & Charlie Daniels
