• Holy Christ, John! I got one hell of a contact high! AAAAAA ++++++++!!! Your narrative was outstanding, exceeded in quality only by your extraordinary presentational authenticity. Yes! Very authoritative. I loved that early '50s stuff! Who was squeezing that elephant's nuts at the end of "Jail Bait?" I'm looking forward to the updates! Rock 'n Roll!

—Jason Isaac. WWOZ overnights, 1998-2002
• Hey John, sounds good, what time is that in the USA (eastern standard time)?
—David Snow, Artist, Portland, ME
• Man, those shows are sounding great! My momenem have been listenin' too. My daddio loves hearing you take those big tokes! Anyway, we all really loved that cut of “Indian Red” by Monk that you opened up the first show from Amnesia with. What album is that on? I gotta get my hands on that!
—Ari Marks, WWOZ Radio, New Orleans
• Congratulations. We will look forward or maybe listen forward to this. Glad to hear you are settled and back on the airwaves too. Did I already write and tell you how much I enjoyed it?

P.S.: you can hear our new Independent Minds show on Peter Sellers at our www.murraystreet.com website or at public radio exchange (prx.org).
—Steve Rathe, Murray Street Productions, New York City

—Matty Lee, Drumbeaters Inc., Detroit
• Congratulations! I'm so happy for you- and me, since now I can listen to your great shows once again. Thank you for sending along the link to your show. I enjoyed it immensely… when I closed my eyes it was like I was sitting on Rampart Street listening to you on the air just a couple of blocks away. Only way hipper!
—DJ Nita Ketner, New Orleans
• It's wonderful John! Congratulations! I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to the recording but I had to cover another gig for the paper... but it obviously went really well!
—Kim Chandler, The Amsterdam Times
• Great Cannabis Cup show!! Any way to download this so I could burn some copies to CD to turn some friends on to John? Don't know if John is pro or con "taping.” Keep up the great work!
—Mike Donahue
• It was great to hear your voice. Send a shout out to Twelve, Shorty & me on your next show (along with all your doobie brothers in N.O.). I downloaded the first two shows last night and as I bust up my one hitter and wait for my CDM Coffee & Chicory to finish brewing, I am burning it to CD to share w/ Twelve.
—Logan Smith, New Orleans
• Great first show. Loved it, what’s this smoking technique “vaporize”? I’ve got all my American cronies listening to the sounds from the lands of reason. And they are all loving it!!! Could I ask... Would you give your homeboys, Tommy Hard and Danny C Double, back in the states a shout out on the air? It would be such a tickle and honor to hear a cat call during these early days of your supreme show!
—Josh McCardle, Common Ground on the Hill, Westminster, MD
• CONGRATS DUDE ON THE SHOW. I AM IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF IT NOW. I GOT DSL AND IT COMES THRU BETTER THAN WWOZ! BETTER THAN WCHB! RIGHT THE HELL ON MAN. PROUD OF YOU. YOU MADE THE GREAT ESCAPE & LOOK AT YOU NOW. WELCOME BACK TO THE AIRWAVES MAN.
—Tony Seymour, Poet, San Francisco
• Good fortune in your upcoming international radio emanation! We will sit on these shores and acknowledge your communications. Also: Otis Rush! Please dedicate to Lord Buckley, 4th St, NYC.
—Jack Vaughan, Poet, Boston
• Congratulations on your new radio show and your long-awaited move to Amsterdam. Read a poem of yours recently on the Blacklisted Journalist website, which I really enjoyed. Will try to check out your show- I still have a dial-up connection, so I don't do a lot of online music listening- it just isn't very practical. But for you, I will make an effort.
—Spike Perkins, New Orleans
• Glad I'll be able to hear your golden whispers again. Got my pot card from the city last month.
—Bob Gimelli, San Francisco

—Jack Bodnar, Writer, Detroit
• GREAT to hear from you, man! And I'll bet you're really happy to be living outside the good old US of Amerikka at the moment. Jesus H, two coups-d'etat in a row, and the Democrats roll over for both of them. I couldn't be more disgusted.
—Jef Jaisun, Photographer, Seattle
• Bravo! I'll be tuning in. Meanwhile, as I write this, I'm listening to Jimmy Smith- 1957 live recording from Small's Paradise, taking off on Monk's Misterioso. It's some of the 'outest' Jimmy I've ever heard. You dig?
—Bill Milkowski, Author, New York City
• Sorry we couldn't make it back for the DAW Reunion. Will listen for your show on the 'net. Streaming media rules. Look for lots more. Content will attract ears.
—Bob Fleck, Producer, Los Angeles
• YAYE! YAYE! YAYE! Been listening to the tall trees for your voice and violà here it is. yaye! Love and grace with EASE dawlin'.
—Thomai Hara, Artist, Los Angeles
• After the death of John Peel and the recent election, news of your re-emergence onto the ether is just the boost I needed to help me keep faith with what is important and healing in life. I had hoped my two-hour radio show on election day would somehow neutralize four years of pro-Bush media but it didn't work out.
—Duncan Edwards, WTUL, New Orleans
• CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is very cool. Michael and I wish you big fun and great success.
—Angela Davis, DKT/MC5, Los Angeles

—David Amram, New York City
• So good to hear you’re settin’ up shop in the new homeland!! Hope everything is workin’ out for ya there... but hope you get back here for an occasional wigwarming too! Can't wait to dig the show!
—Danny Collins, Philadelphia
• Great News! Congratulations!
—Scott Allman, Capitol City Blues Cruise, Lansing, MI
