Hello Brian!! I was just doing a check through the internet and I saw the write up about your Earth Day celebration!! A)thankyou! B)Thankyou! C)Thankyou!! I just returned home from a tour across Western Canada, and the forests were on fire….it was at times depressing and at other times it felt like it needed to be done, so much dead brush from clear cutting you could see were it had killed the natural order of things. Anyway, thank you, the publicity has not been on it as much in the last few years, so we need a cultural thing to bring it back to the mind set of today…. I want to play music everyday of my life. www.canadiancreative.com

Hi Brian,
Your words I can relate to having encountered my own share of roadblocks and
cynicism from time-to-time while trying to bring out the "spirit" in the
Quinte Spirit Festival and sincerely make a difference. Offbase criticism
can certainly knock the steam out of anybody…there have been many times I
felt the deflation of such comments and actions. I can see from your
thoughts below you've got the spirit to make a difference.
From one spirit to another
Peace, Love and Sunshine!

Psychedelic pholk songs – .
It's a very special album, somewhere between folk and country, and lyrics
that make people think(at least me). Great melodies as well. Favorite songs
: "Uncle John" and "A Father's Lullaby".
With regards, Per K. Rodal, Norway

Brian, this is a very different album to any I have heard in my 35yrs as a broadcaster for country music, your Guitar licks are great, your vocals are great — yes we do hear heaps of trash on CD-Baby these days — for this album it lies in a rating of 4 **** Stars. Brian as an indie artist you are great, we will have you on prime time for one month, and have you feature artist at that time, this will start in August 1st for the whole month. All the best Brian, we have also been on your website last night, and got a great buzz out of it Pres/Dir; Dave Peters, CEO. Radio F.M.Country 97.4 FM 24hr Country. The Worldwide C.D.

Brian:
Your band was really tight tonight. Tony's guitar pickin' nicely complements your flying fingered guitar work and Bonnie's harmonies add a special dimension to your vocals. Just read the FolkWax article on your website: congratulations on a fine article and amazing success in just three years! Terry Hart – Acoustic Guitarist http://www.mp3.com/TerryHart
