| Comments: | a friend of mine from Texas sent me your rendition of "Mule Skinner Blues" and was completely won over by your talent as a group. I have been a Bluegrass music lover for some 50 years and it has been a very long time since someone has appeared on the scene with your talent. I have a feeling that in the very near future your group will make a very big splash on the country music scene. Best wishes to you all for the future from down here in Australia |

| Comments: | Thanks for your CD i received a couple of days ago. You young folks are one of the best youth bluegrass bands I have come across. I have a bluegrass show in Louisville, KY every Sunday night from 8 - 11. We are streaming audio. The station WFPK 91.9 FM. To get the stream, go to WFPK.org and click on listen live. I June will be 19 years I have been doing this show, Sunday Bluegrass. I will be playing from your CD this Sunday (tonight) and for Sundays to come. In the 50's I had a country show in Lynchburg which is my home. Country Gentleman Time on WWOD and then on to WBRG. There is another excellent youth BG band in our area ages, 13 - 18, Kentucky Sassafras. Won't take too much space here but I do hope to meet you folks the next time I'm home, probably in June. I would be interested in the jam session in Monroe also. Thanks again and listen if lyou can. I can be emailed during the show using the address, studio@wfpk.org.

Im 15 and play the bass and am learning the mandolin and dobro, my brother cliff is 19 and plays the guitar and mandolin and if he wanted could play the bass but since i do he wont. his girlfriend holly is 17 and plays the mandolin and bass and is learing the dobro, we have a guitar player andrew who is the only one who is not quite young anymore lol [but can really act it sometimes], an excelent fiddle player ed, and an awesome banjo player hunter whose 15. Six members are a lot but it sounds terrific. im really interested in hearing your band. do you guys only play down in your area or do u travel around to play?? well wanted to say good luck and glad to see some young people still into bluegrass!!

| Comments: | Hi, Mason! I don't know if you remember me, but I used to work at Skin's Tavern and my husband played music there. I hope you and your Mom and Dad are doing well. We love your music. My husband, Ray, and I have been living in Nashville for 2 1/2 years now. He plays quite a bit of music on Broadway in Nashville. He plays 3-4 nights a week at places like Robert's Western World, Legends Corner and The Stage on Broadway. If you ever get to Nashville for a visit, let us know, and I'm sure he'd be glad to get you up on stage with him!! You can check out his band at http://www.myspace.com/nextofkinduo or his personal space at http://www.myspace.com/rayneighbors. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! |

| Comments: | WOW!!! Your group is fabulous. You did a wonderful job last night at Gypsy Hill. Can't wait to see you again. You all have talent way beyond your years. My 14 yr.old son had to have your CD. But I have to admit I was listening to it on the way to work this morning and I have never been that strong of a bluegrass fan. You may have just changed my mind. Hope you do another one real soon. Your sound is so strong that you will go as far as any of you want to go. Again, great performance loved the upbeat format. Keep up the great work!! |

| Comments: | Hi, this is Rick Lowe, the fiddle player with the band String Fever. I was really impressed with your band at Maury River. You absolutely deserved to place in the band competition. As I told a couple of you, I was expecting your band to finish first or second. I was also glad to see you all win three individual awards. You all play well and your vocals are surprisingly good for your ages. I think you sound much better in person, either offstage or through the microphones, than on your CD, which means you are getting better all the time. Hopefully we will meet again someday. Since you don't have a regular fiddle player, I hope to get a chance to play a few tunes with you. |

He came from a family of musicians. So this is why I am so interested in your music. Please keep it up. You all are great and as time goes on you will be even greater. I look forward to seeing you at the Ryman with Ricky Skaggs and all the famous Bluegrass musicians. You are simply great. Keep me posted on your events and music. Love it all. So glad I was sent this. I am from southern Virginia, close to the Carolina line. We live in South Hill Virginia. Hope one day to be able to hear you in person. Keep up the great work. Love it, The Arrington Family |
