Joe Shaffer

July 20, 2009

Hey Guys, thanks for coming to the Bucks Co. Blues Fest. You were great, and we enjoyed your show. Bought the CD, and when we listened to it the next day, it took us right back to the blues fest. See what you can do about playing in Lancaster, Pa. (Chameleon Night club, or some other venue), but it would be great to see and hear you play again. You have a great old-style sound, that rocks, and are a treat to watch perform. Everyone has fun. Thanks again, Joe Shaffer

Bud De Santis

July 5, 2009

Guys, Caught you at the Wonderbar last night and loved it ! Don't want to date myself but I'm an Asbury native and have been around since Springsteen first walked into the Upstage years ago and you guys blew us away ! We were sitting outside right behind you watching fireworks and when we saw the kilt and zoot suit had an idea we'd be in for a treat. I talked to Debby, the owner, and I know she loves the act. You made two new and very enthusiastic fans. Next time you're in town we'll be there with our kids ( 32 + 21 ) and as many friends as we can muster. Good luck to you and hope to see you soon.

Genevieve

May 29, 2009

I cannot say enough about this band. Rick and the gang played at our wedding in Delaware on November 1st and absolutely killed it!! All night long the dance floor was packed, with the crowd jumpin' and jivin' 'til the wee hours of the morning! They really made my big event a party to remember.

If you ever have a chance to see them live, don't think twice! It's a show you'll want to see over and over.

Thanks guys!!!

I saw you guys last evening at Paula Jeans. I was at the front table where crusher gave lap dances to two of my friends. I have to say I was VERY impressed with you guys, your performance was great, stage presence(if you could call that a stage) was inspiring, and you earned yourself at least 4 new fans from our table. the jury is still our on the cringing "quad" but I think she'll come around.

Keep on rockin'

Myself and friends saw your band for the first time on Saturday, 21 April at the Ocean Place Resort and we ABSOLUTLEY LOVED YOU ALL!! The music was fabulous and we were amazed how all the people that were dancing seemed to know each other and were so very friendly. Just watching them all dance had us mesmerized! You have successfully added 3 new fans to your many and I have been spreading the news about your band to everyone! We are definitely coming back again and again to see you.
Take care, Donna :)

I had an outrageously good time dancing to/with you guys at the stanhope x-mas show! You are as good and better than the shoe changers said you were! I heard the rumor that the bar antics has you guys playing elsewhere for now. Maybe an e-mail campaign to the "house" would get you back in? We'll follow you wherever in any case. Just come to NW Jersey if you can.
Best show I've seen there since Magic Dick from J.Geils Band.
Keep on boogeying!
