John Edward Cockman Sr.
John Sr. is the father and the guitar player of the Cockman Family. He is married to Jane, and they reside in Sherrill's Ford.  His responsibilities include radio and television promotions, as well as scheduling and advertising.  He is also in charge of all the emcee work for the group.

John Sr. is especially good at deciding what is and is not marketable in a song.  When we try to get a little wild with our music, he's always there to reign us in and keep our music more publicly understandable. 

John Sr. recently retired from teaching cabinetmaking at Maiden High School in Maiden, North Carolina and is an experienced guitar builder. He was selected as the 1998-99 Maiden High School Teacher of the year.  He is currently teaching at North Iredell High School.

Jane Gabriel Cockman

Jane (mama) was married to John Sr. on March 22, 1970.  They now reside in Sherrill's Ford.  She is the encourager to the group. She is a music instructor, a song writer, and a strong influence in song arrangements.  Whenever we think we're ready with a vocal arrangement we always get mama to critique it for us.

Jane teaches piano lessons during the week.  During the school year she has up to forty piano students each week, and always gives a recital each spring.  On the weekends, she makes sure every one is dressed and ready to go.  She makes sure that all the suits, ties, socks and shoes are ready.  This spring she is teaching two classes at Newton-Conover High School -- American Literature and Journalism.

Jane is also in charge of the tape table, and for watching after her four grandchildren.  She loves to meet and greet everyone that comes by after a concert.
