Hey John!
About 2 weeks ago I saw the APLP show in Ulm. It really exeedet all my expactations. The music was and is phantastic, much more than still alive, and your charisma is inspiring. Thank you very much for this great evening.
Hope to see you in Germany again, with APLP or any other band.
All the best to you and your family!

Hi John,
I am so in love with the music that you played last 1st July in Barcelona. The concert that i saw, wich i was waiting 2 years for, was so fantastic and every time that i listen to you, i'm in peace.
Thanks so much for share your talent and give us the present of your voice, and congratulations for your baby.
Come more often to Barcelona, please!!! I will send you some good photos of the event that i'm sure you will love them.

Awesome show in KC. I have some great show photo's and I will be sending you a couple of them when I have a few minutes to figure out this new software for the camera.

Thanks for spending the time talking to us after the show...the kids think you are the absolute best!! You are as delightful in person as you are on your video blogs. More later.

Peace out,
Beth

Cindy

June 21, 2008

Glad to hear you made it to town safe and sound! KC is a great place. Had I known you'd be in so early, I would have told you that you should go to the River Market area on a Saturday morning. Wonderful Farmer's Market that's been going on for ages. There's also a lot of Italian roots down there. Also a neat Steamboat Arabia museum. Concerts are also held down there on some Friday nights! It makes me sad I can't see you guys tonight. Hubby has to work overtime today to build those Chevy Malibu and Saturn Aura cars, and I have two boys and an 87 year old dad to take care of, and I can't get away. Your show in February will have to hold me over until next time. I hope APLP comes back within the next year, and I'll definitely work on making it to that show! Have fun and remember, use lots of napkins with the BBQ! :)

Beth

June 15, 2008

Happy 1st Fathers day!! Hope you have a great day with Jilly and Francesca!!

Beth

June 14, 2008

How's the diaper business going? LOL. Enjoy your 'baby daughter' as much as you can, because you will turn around one day and have a sassy 9 year old like I have. She will ALWAYS be your baby though (so ENJOY!).
Love the video blogs...keep 'em coming. Looking forward to seeing you in KC next weekend with APLP.
Senza rocks, so have lots of copies with you...I'll be sure to buy one. Have a safe and uneventful trip! (And hopefully no more airport hassles)!

Great shows in both St. Louis and Kansas City! I sure got a real treat from Scott Holder as I was given a front row seat for the KC show. Additionally, my seat was right in front of you John and it gave me a greater appreciation of your talent. Thanks for the kudos concerning my passion for the band. It has been a real treat going to so many concerts. Be well! Jam on! Dream big!

p.s. Both I and my 4 year old Anthony really dig Senza-nice work!!

yes, we have the same family name! My family immigrated to NY in 1908 from Retribido, Italy (Piedmont region, just south of Milan)! I grew up in Northport, NY...but now live in Minneapolis. If you ever play a sghow here I would love to come see it! Best regards. Ken

Cindy

March 3, 2008

I agree Curtis! It was a great show! I walked away with two additional CDs (to add to the vinyl, 8 track and cassette we already have of AP) and a DVD of their show in Madrid! I watched it the next day. It was like seeing the show again, accept La Sagrada Familia wasn't on it. :( I will definitely buy tickets again if they come back to KC, but this time will sit on the left section instead of the right, just so we can see John!

Curtis

March 2, 2008

Great show in KC! Loved "I wouldn't want to be like you" :) Nice bass solo! + La Sagrada Familia! Just wished we'd have hung around outside after...heard you came out and signed autographs (?). We went back into the casino and donated more $$$ :(. Wasn't all bad though, left our lights on and run down our car battery so we had to come back to the front desk to look for help, and standing there was PJ! He was very friendly and offered some advice :) Made our night! Thanks again for the GREAT show! Definetly will come back if you play there again.

Thanks so much for the in depth account of your concerts at the casinos, must have been amazing. I wish I would win the Lotto so that I could take a trip to the USA and come to the next one.
What you've had in snow there we have had in rain its nearly non stop since some months.

Hey John,

It's Mama and Papa Weh, Wes' parents - shouting out to you to say we can't wait to some day meet you and know still another good person in Wes' beloved community. We want to hear your music and, of course, hear stories of Wes. Will we see you at WesFest 3... or in Boston at the Danny Mo Jam, March 12th? If you are ever playing in Philly, we want to know about it so that we can be there. All the best to you, Paula and John

Hey John,
I love your travel blogs from your trips with Alan Parsons, it gives an insight of how much you enjoy playing and being with this band.
I have been a fan of Alans about 31 years and have never been fortunate enough to see him live, now Iam wondering if there is a chance that Alan might tour Australia with this band? It would be amazing if that could be a possibility in the near future. Happy New Year may all your dreams come true !

Hey John! Happy New Year to you and Jill. Hope 2008 brings you lots of gigs and plenty of CD sales :-) See you in St. Chas and KC in February!

Buon giorno da un italiana del collega.

GREAT shows with APLP in Houghton with Kewanee symphony and PJ's dad conducting. Beautiful rockin sounds from such a tight talented and passionate group. Your stage presence is inspiring. Have seen APLP a few other times and you guys do it right every single time.

Had so much fun at reception meeting all of you and Jeff B. who sent me to your website to see what you've been up to. Loving the mp3's.

Thanks for the musica bella, John!

You had another great show in Milwaukee. I loved every minute of it. I really enjoy the fact that you guys change it up a little all of the time. The bass solo during IWWTBLY was fantastic and the way you guys do La Sagrada is beyond words.

My photos of the show (over 300) are online at http://www.mikes-photo-site.com . I know that's a lot of photos, but here are some really awesome shots there.

It was great talking to you and the other band members after the show and I look forward to you coming to town again.

Johm, so good to see you this weekend in Milwaukee and Elgin (and last in CB, IA). I love every opportunity to see you and the guys.

Hello John from a former Long Islander! I'm looking forward to seeing you play at The Hemmens (9/27) with the Alan Parsons Live Project! I followed the link from the AP site and wanted to know more about who was playing on this tour. I was hoping to find a set list, but I'd rather just be surprised instead. Say hello to LI for me. At times I miss that that big ole rock. Cool site to! I really enjoyed your blog from Amsterdam and that funky tune at the end. Man that was catchy. Stay in tune! See you at the show! I'll report back. Later!

Thank you for the great time in Davis. Enjoyed the way you showed your passion for music in how you hold, dance with, and caress your bass. Love the way you kept in sync with the drump player. Somewhat understanding that the bass player and the dummer and the back bone to any band. Great smile by the way.
