On late Sunday night during a break, it was great to have you sit next to me to just talk for a bit.You're a great musician and I'm a big fan of yours. It's more than your guitar proficiency; you have a great stage presence. I wish you nothing but the best.If I would have one request it would be that you put Hot Rod Lincoln on one of your CDs. You do such a great, entertaining version of that classic!Again, best of luck to you. I look forward to following your career.

I ran across this site and was glad to hear that the Starlight Drifters are still going strong as I always enjoyed hearing you all play! Could you tell Elaine I said hello and to drop me a line if she gets the chance. I think of her often, wonder what she's up to and would love to get back in touch! Thanks!

"I was in Nashville this past weekend as a member of the national, television news media covering the CMA's return to Nashville and caught the tail end of your set with the Starlight Drifters at the Stage(?)- maybe only three or four songs. In all honesty, that was the finest music and showmanship I heard the entire time I was town. I bought "Done and Gone" when you stepped off stage and walked out the door a happy fan. I wish I had known about your incredible talent long ago. Now where can I get more of your recorded work? What a revelation! Please come to Atlanta soon."

"Hey! I was just looking around and searched Starlight Drifters and found your site. I'm 15 right now, and when I was younger, my dad and I heard you at Top of the Park in Ann Arbor. We eventually got all of the Starlight Drifters CDs, and I still listen all the time. I remember one time when you were in Ann Arbor playing at Weber's hotel and the band played a song for ME! I was so excited, being the little, obsessed kid that I was. Let me say, getting your autographs was probably the most exciting thing ever at that time! Basically what I wanted to say was thanks for creating such an amazing group and I'll probably still listen to you when I'm 80! -Marie."
