Mr. Davis, I appreciate your music more than words can describe. I have been a one man blues band playing slide guitar, harmonica and
tambourine at the same time for 12 years.  When I perform, people sometimes tell me I am pretty good. 

Deep in my mind, I tell my self that when I can play Georgia Rag like Guy Davis; then I will be good.  I love blues and ragtime and you are
the best!  I aspire to play rags the way you do. 

Every time your music comes on, I sit and listen, studying everything the way a student studies the teachings of a master.  Though I have never
met you, your music has inspired me to be a better performer.  Thank you for helping me to hear how good music can be.

I found your music through my Tom Waits radio station on Pandora.com. I have been hooked ever since and I cannot wait to see you live. The
only issue is that I live in LA and see no west coast appearances. I hope to see you live one day and I cannot wait to experience Guy Davis's
talent live.

Hello Guy

I saw your show last week in Newcastle under Lyme. You and the boys were FANTASTIC. come back soon.

Saw you in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England last night and came out a happy couple. First time we have heard any of your music but
will now look for more. The mix was great particularly the harmonica train story to complete the first half. Sue is learning the guitar and she hopes that by shaking hands with you at the end some of your talent will rub off on to her. Great night and we will be looking out for your next visit to England.

Hi, I have no idea whether Guy actually reads these pages, but if you do, I was a tongue-tied fan who could not say anything more than a rather pathetic "you were fantastic!" after the gig at the New Vic in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, UK on October 31st. I first came across Guy Davis a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with his music, and have been waiting for a UK gig. When I checked the website late one night and found there was one only fifty miles from home (and on my birthday!) I knew it was meant to be. He didn't disappoint. I have never known such incredible talent in blues, while still remaining totally accessible to a non-blues fan (my wife!). I only hope Mr Davis makes a quick return to the UK. Thanks for a great night,

Martin

Hi Guy

I was at your gig on Tuesday at the Stables in Milton Keynesin the best seats in the house (front row dead centre). Just wanted to write to
 say that you blew me away. What a fantastic gig - your voice and playing and also Nerak's guitar all made for a great night. Looking forward to
 your next UK trip already.

Cheers

Guy just been to watch your show in Newcastle - Under - Lyme. Absolutely brilliant!!  Been a great fan of yours for ages now, but this has
been the first opportunity I have been able to see you live.  I'm 20 Years of age, and think your music is truly some of the best I've ever heard.
Keep up the good work mate.

GUY YOUR AWESOME !!!! I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE SO MUCH TRUE LOVE TO THE MUSIC MAN!!!!!! Love you man, love and RESPECT!

I  HAVE 1 Questions for you! In the movie Beat Street 1984 what was that reggae song that was playing when you were in the room it had like
 steel drums on the song and went something like this " shes the best girl I ever had, My best friend" I am dying to know man love you man much
 love.

 Your Boy, Ray

October 30, 2007

Guy,

Thanks for a great show again at the Blue Front Blues Room Lydney UK yesterday. I saw you 2 years ago at the same venue and was blown away by
 your performance, to me it represented everything wonderful about blues music.  I felt as if I had been transported back in time and seen a true blues
 great in action in the Mississippi Delta, then I pinched myself and realized that we were seeing a true blues great in 2005.

I also thoroughly enjoyed your trio format with two excellent players who provided a solid backing for you and some neat solos.

Thanks again for a great show, and I am looking forward to your DVD and seeing you again.

Best Wishes

Chris

Great concert in Chichester last night. Thanks for coming, it was one of the highlights of the year.

October 21, 2007

I have always enjoyed Guy's music and really loved seeing him live when he visited Norwich, UK last year. As a budding guitarist I would really like to see some of his music available on the 'Sheet Music' web-page and regularly look to see if any has been added only to be disappointed - any idea when this might happen. I would love to try any of his pieces.

Many Thanks,

Peter

October 17, 2007

Just caught you on Bluesville - man you the real deal Guy. A quick look at your history, and must say always enjoyed your parents they re
 great talents. You have made them proud, and as a former (though we really can't be) NY boy gotta say right on brother.

September 30, 2007

Just a short note to let Guy know that I really enjoyed his show at the  Lotus Festival in Bloomington, Indiana. I didn't know of Guys' music  before I found out he was coming to Lotus.  I purchased two CD's and will watch the website for upcoming dates. I also spoke to Guy briefly out in front before the show and he was most friendly. Thanks for a great show and I hope you had a nice time on our little town.

Sandy

September 27, 2007

I love your music especially "Chocolate Man".  Is there any chance of getting a tab for the song?  Hope to see you at the Birchmere when you come to Virginia.

Hello Guy,

It was great to see you and Nerak in the Dublin Pub (Friday 14 sept.) and the Atic Piano Bar (Saturday 15 sept.) on Playa de Gandia. Sorry we had to leave early on saturday night. Hope you'll be back soon. We really enjoyed the show.

Take care  ;)

I am now 31 years old. You were the reason I wanted to get into DJing  and Hip Hop production because of your role on Beat Street. I still to
 this day watch Beat Street. Wow, to now find out you are a musician and  have been in the business for all this time. I feel ashamed. I've
 checked out your discography and I will be looking up your releases. I wish  you well on this day and days to come. I want to end this message with
 my favorite quote from Beat Street. "Is my rap to quick my tongue to slick, My galant talent like a magic trick?"

Take Care

I want to thank Mr. Davis for making my mother so happy.  Sunday she  went to the Harmony on the Hudson concert at Battery Park and she came home as happy as a lark and has been listening to and enjoying the Legacy
CD she purchased there.  Even I, an eighteen year old St. John University student, am starting to really like his music especially the cut he sings/raps with his son, "Uncle Tom Is Dead."  Tell Mr. Davis I said thank you for putting a song in my mothers heart.

Noni (Miss Bones)

September 10, 2007

Wow! What a (blues) man, what a (blues) man!  When I saw Guy Davis at the Blues School in Broward County (Miami), I was completely captivated.
  But his concerts in New York City at Riverside Park South and the  Harmony on the Hudson in Battery Park knocked my socks off! He outdoes
 Muddy Waters on "Going Down Slow," no easy task.  And it's hard to imagine  anyone performing a better rendition of "Come Back, Baby," let alone
 his own songs, "Chocolate Man," "I Just Can't Help Lovin' You," and  "Hikin' Jerry" are so good it hurts!  All I can say is "Come Back, Baby!"

Hi Guy,

I wanted to thank you for sharing your music with Harvey and I in Washington Square Park NYC on Thursday, August 23, 2007.  We knew that we  were in the middle of something special as soon as you started playing your guitar. I am looking forward to seeing you at the Hudson River  Festival on September 9th. And if you are ever playing in Washington Square  Park again, we would love to join you. Feel free to drop us a line. It was very nice meeting you. You are a gentleman, an exceptional artist,
a kind spirit, and a humanist.

Hey Mr. Guy,
I saw you a couple days ago in the poconos and, in my opinion, you were the best act out of all I saw. I got two questions for you.. One, how
do you tune your guitar for slide? You do a piedmont/slide type of thing, and I can't figure it out. I think it might be Open E, but I'm
always wrong. And two, when's the next time you, nerak, and professor louie are coming back in this area again? I've seen you guys twice already,
and it wouldn't hurt to see y'all again, maybe even play with ya.

I sent this once before, but I screwed up my email address, so if you
replied, I didn't get it.

I am also eagerly awaiting tab and would love to see "Sugar Belle Blues". For those wanting to get a jump start Acoustic Guitar Magazine No. 145, Jan. 2005, can be purchased as a back issue which has the tab for "Long As You Get It Done" and No. 69, Sept. 1998 has "If You Love Somebody" but is out of print. May be found on ebay.

What a wonderful performance! I'm so glad I made it to the Columbus Folk Music Festival. Your music is awesome, but most you are an awesome person. Wow I even got to play your banjo!! Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world. God Bless you and all you do.

May 14, 2007

I am ecstatic to hear that sheet music will be out soon.  In my opinion, Guy Davis is the greatest living bluesman.  I saw him at the Thirsty Ear festivalSanta Fe, NM I was blown away. please come back to New Mexico.

Tim

May 14, 2007

Heard Mr Davis 1st time in soundtrack of movie "Final". Thought it was Ry Cooder but delighted to find another with that same magic. Great thing to start my day with I gotta tell you!. Will be buying some of his music for sure. Been a musician my self for many years and find myself bored with a lot of it (music) as it has lost the art of invention. All the best!

May 13, 2007

I was fortunate enough to be at the Central Ohio Folk Festival on May 5th for Guy's performance. As a volunteer in the performer's hospitality
tent, I was aware that Guy's instruments had been lost by the airline he flew in on. When he arrived at the tent to check out the borrowed
instruments that the organizers had arranged for him to use, Guy showed his humanity and professionalism under duress. He was gracious and warm
to everyone he met and played his heart out on instruments he had seen only a few minutes before he took the stage.  It got even better on Sunday when several of us got to watch him share his passion for playing in the workshop he taught. The jam session afterward was a real treat for everyone there. It's not often that an old accordion player who loves the blues gets to jam with  someone as talented (and fun-loving) as Guy Davis.

Thanks for a great festival.  

Pat

P.S. The instruments got to his hotel room @ 2:30 Sunday morning. The most amazing thing is that he was so much in control of himself when he got to the venue – and like the true pro he is, he made the very best of a tough situation. It was one heck of a show.
 

May 6, 2007

Guy Davis is a terrific live entertainer and musician on stage; the best!  I had the pleasure attending his great performance at the Folk Music Society Festival near on Saturday May 5, 2007.

On Sunday Guy conducted a great workshop; showing us a few of his great playing techniques for banjo and guitar.  Later he engaged his fans in the park in an open jam.  A little later after Guy had some lunch, I was fortunate to get a five minute guitar lesson on his blues style thumb and finger pickin’.

I am grateful that you indulged me personally and hope you will return
to our festival again next year.

I had a chance to see Guy Davis some time ago in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Really enjoyed the show, so I went and picked up Skunkmello. Great album! And, like others, I must admit Hooking Bull at the Landing is one of my favorite. Great work! Your style and musicianship is wonderful.

Bronson

April 25, 2007

I had been aware of your music for years but finally was able to come hear you. As a kid, the 1st music that struck me as most pure, causing me to sell all my rock albums, was the acoustic blues. To this day, nothing has overwhelmed me as much as hearing Blind Blake for the first time on those Biography LP's, bought at Discount Records in Eastchester. Remember this store-near Lord and Taylor? It is America's purest and most original musical art form and you are to be commended for keeping the tradition alive and keeping it alive with expertise and feeling and commitment.

Don

April 24, 2007

Hello Guy !

I caught your show at Bearley's House of Blues in Halifax  on Friday night, March 23rd, and enjoyed it very much, as usual. I think you you saw that everyone attending really enjoyed your music, as well as the stories they all tell. I've been very fortunate in seeing you 3 times now. I know that you only make it down our way once a year, so next you come to Halifax, I'd be more than happy to take you on a little tour of our metro area, so you could appreciate some of our beautiful scenery and East Coast hospitality. I'll leave that up to you, but now that I'll be on your e-mail list, I'll know when your next visit is to our beautiful Province of Nova Scotia. I recently noticed in our local newspaper that you did a one-man-play, "In Bed With The Blues: The Adventures Of Fishy Waters" in Truro, N.S. I would think that it would go over big-time, in the Halifax Dartmouth Area.

All the best, Guy, and keep those blues alive with your superb music and story-telling.

Don

April 22, 2007

I was so surprised and honored to see Guy Davis at the African American Cultural Center in Ft. Lauderdale.  I was surprised that so few African
Americans showed up, but honored to be among the few who did.  I loved the show, especially his performance of Chocolate Man and was sorry
that I didn't stick around to get a taste of that while I could.  Thanks for a great time and I will send the article and picture.

Stephanie

April 21, 2007

I just had the pleasure of once again seeing Guy in concert in Lake Charles, La as part of the McNeese Banners Series.  Fantastic show!! As a long time Blues fan, I really want to thank Mr. Davis for keeping the traditions of the blues alive and well!! I had a chance to meet Mr. Davis about 10 years ago when he came into the guitar store I worked at in Boulder , Colorado. He was a true gentleman in the best tradition, sense, and definition of the word. Please on to Mr. Davis my thanks for keeping the blues alive, and for spreading the knowledge of the blues to the younger generations.April 21, 2007

All the best to you

April 15, 2007
It's a few days after the fact, but i thought I'd drop a line anyways. I went to see Guy at the Marigold Cultural Centre in Truro, NS on March
31st. He was performing his one man play "In Bed With The Blues, The Adventures Of Fishy Waters". Now I will admit when I found out that he was
doing this one man play instead of a 'regular' concert I was a bit miffed (I hear play I think snore =p) but I told myself that it was Guy
Davis after all and whatever he does -has- to be good.

I was super lucky to be able to get second row centre, and my good friend Chris came along. I didn't know it was his first concert until we
got there, which kind of beats my first concert which was Anne Murray =D. I was absolutely blown away and any doubts I had were gone in the first
30 seconds. He played some songs I thought I wouldn't hear because it wasn't a regular concert, which made me super happy, and his presence
and storytelling ability is superb. It was well worth the time I waited to see him perform. I even managed to hold it together long enough to get my Legacy cd
autographed after the show =) and a hug!

My only regret is that I didn't get to hear "High Flying Rocket"!

Can't wait to see you again Guy! Blues isn't just for white boys to listen to, its for white girls too!

Love, The Aggressive Clapper, 
Carrie 

April 14, 2007

Guy, thanks for playing Old Town - stopping by to do those numbers.  I'll see if can catch you around that area again. Everyone appreciated it,
and it was an interesting night for sure - Mark Dvorak is a friend of mine, i don't know if you talked to him - he's also a blues/folk
enthusiast, with a pretty deep knowledge of lots of old traditions.

Graham



April 5, 2007
Saw Guy in MT. Holly NJ about a month ago. Great show. I was drunk...as I am wont to be. Caught a lyric that I LOVED, but don't remember the
song, and I have been listening to a bunch of his songs, looking for that line. It went something like "one half said hide, one half said run, if I'd had my pistol,
 i'd a done niether one." Can anyone tell me what song that's from??
Roger

April 3, 2007

Thanks from all the diehard blues fans in Lockeport, NS for the incredible performance at the Osprey Arts Center in Shelburne on Sunday night. How fortunate we were to see an artist of your caliber in such a small venue. Please return to this area again.

Mr. Davis I seen you years ago for the first time in Annapolis, Nova Scotia Canada. I was amazed at your talent then, and have followed your music ever since..I have a great passion for the blues and have listened to many of the greats. You are the only artist that  brings their same passion to the public. We are all so fortunate that you haven't forgotten the history and continue to bring the "real blues"to all of us no matter how small the community. Simply amazing ! I'm looking forward to seeing your performance again tonight in Little Brook, Clare, Nova
Scotia
! :)

I was checking Guy's itinerary to see if he'd be within driving distance any time soon and was thrilled to see that he'll be in Chicago on 4/7/07.  That's just a couple of hours away for me, so I immediately bought my ticket.I was lucky enough to spend some time with Guy when he visited WI last year; once in Madison, and once in Wisconsin Rapids...the latter included Roth Patterson on guitar.  We visited a local guitar store, had a meal together, he listened to some of my music - both on CD and I played some for him and Roth which they enjoyed - and I gave him a bottle of wine to thank him for all the joy his music  has brought me.  I believe he may still have one of my business cards.

Lisa

March 2, 2007

I just saw on Guy's web site that he's at the Old Town School of Folk Music in April and I already had tickets!  I can't believe it.  I was a student of Guy's last September at the Fur Peace Ranch.  Will be great to see him again.  He had such an impact on my guitar playing that I only wish I could introduce him to my wife who will be with me that night. Doubtful he'll get this email but if you see or talk to him tell him I said HI! and that I can't wait until April... Chicago, IL

Steve

February 27, 2007

Guy thank for letting me open for you in Mount Holly NJ. Your music inspires me to keep playing and performing acoustic blues. I hope too see you soon

February 26, 2007

Hi,

I was incredibly touched by an audio clip played on NPR's World Cafe Feb. 22.  Guy talked about how musicians touch people's souls through music.  Where can I find the clip, or a transcript of that interview?

Thank you, Oriana
 

February 25, 2007

Saw the itinerary and noticed that you are coming up to Northern Cali this summer, wondering if you might make a stop by the wonderful city of Seattle for a visit.  Saw you last in Colorado last year and my girlfriend and I have moved to the PAC NW.  I saw you here years ago at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard.  Be great to have a sequel.

Kris

February 13, 2007

I had a blessed pleasure to see Mr. Davis on February 11, 2007 at the Hartford Public Library.  His performance is ELECTRIFYING!!! He performed as if his life depended on it. I could not hold my peace.  I had to look around to see if I
was the only one in the event.  The room was too quite for his
performance. He performs as if there are twenty people on the stage with him.  Certainly an inspiration to a life time dreamer like me. God Speed Mr. Davis, I cannot wait to hear you again.

Basha

February 13, 2007

A GREAT show in Hallowell last night, Mr. Davis! Wow!  Thank you so much for coming to Maine.  From the moment you started singing, I couldn't stop smiling, and went home with "grin-ache".  "Joppatown" and "Loneliest Road That I Know" were fantastic, as was the entire show. Thanks again.  Hope to see you again in VT in a couple weeks.

February 13, 2007

Feb 13, Kennebunk, Maine - The best things stick with you.  You know that life is good when the welcome taste of a good wine lingers in your mouth and the house still smells delicious the day after you've cooked a savory meal and the conversation brings you a smile long after the company is gone..  Another way life can be very good is when the sounds of Guy are still rollin' around the head this many days later. Like Brain Radio tuned into the Davis station.  How do you do that harmonica thing, and how do you see so deeply and know a human so lightning fast?  You take a room crammed with people and bring them to their feet as if they were one.  Maybe now they are...glued together from the inside by your songs.  Love that sweet plunky banjo! When are you coming back? G-d bless and keep you

Hi Guy, Just want to say once again thank you for visiting the Hartford Public Library and giving us a wonderful concert. There is something that is nostalgically romantic about your music and storytelling.  Your genuine spirit and love of your music was evident.  I am very glad I met you.

Hope you will seriously consider coming back and playing at the blues club called Blackeyed Sallys in Hartford.  Would like to hear and appreciate your music again.  Blessings to you!

I recently saw Guy Davis perform at my school (Brooklyn College. I'm not really big on blues music, so when I say that Guy was awesome, he really was awesome. I would encourage anyone who had the opportunity to see to do just that. It's quite the experience.

Guy Davis Wins New Fans

I gave my tickets to Guy Davis' Friday night show at Purdue to a couple of my students because I was still sick. I was bummed. Today they told me they hadn't had high expectations but were enthralled by Davis' eclectic blues style. In fact, one of the kids said he ordered two of Davis' albums after the show. I don't feel so bad now because I'm converting kids into blues fans one fever at a time.

Hello Mr Davis................My wife and I recently saw your performance at the Ocean County Library in Toms River New Jersey in february. It was great, I was blown away. There was a song/story you did only with a harmonica which I thought was great. I love the blues. It has no barrier. Either you love it or you don't. Thanks so much for making our evening so wonderful. I'll be looking to get a cd, and to see when you will be coming into our area again. Maybe the House of Blues in Atlantic City New Jersey.

Good luck.

Hi,

Mr Davis was in Kitimat BC last yr, he sang a great tune oh food, had the word "gravy in it" what was that tune called? I luv that tune.  That was a great performance that day, and what a nice personable person Mr Davis is.

How about a tour down south?  Greenville, South Carolina to be more specific.

Thanks!

Heard Guy last year at Larz Anderson Park, Brookline, MA. A fine blues singer at a time when every one out there is precious.  What a voice!  And a very accomplished string musician. 

My pretty fair teen guitarist is hoping for access to sheet music for "Honeydew Melon Rag" and "Dorothy is Harlem Bound" - and any other instrumental pieces by Guy we may not yet have heard.  Many of the classic blues Guy covers can be gotten elsewhere, but those two pieces of his are instant classics my son would love to learn and play.

I was lucky enough to see Guy Davis and his masterful musicians Mark Murphy and Nerak Roth Patterson play a two hour set in Toms River, NJ this past weekend.  Guy's music had me grinning ear to ear during the entire show until he performed 'Blues in the Midnight Hour'.  This song, with it's powerful melody and heart wrenching lyrics affected me like no song or artist ever did. It made a grown man cry (and I wasn't the only one...). What an incredible performer who transported his audience to a different time and place during that two hour set. 

Thank you Guy, Mark and Nerak!

Caught one of Guy's show last night.  Being a blues purist I was not dissappointed.  Guy is the real deal.

Hi-I would LOVE to have music and lyrics for The Cape. I survived an early jump off a second story porch (sans cape) and really enjoyed this song on Minnesota Public Radio this morning.

Thanks!

Hello Guy,

Great show in Pittsburgh on the 13th.  I think you converted a few people over to the power of the Blues.  I hope that you can do an other one in this area soon. Keep up the good work and thanks for the lessons at Fur Peace this past September.

I would love to see the tab for Thanksgiving Day.

I had the great pleasure of getting to see Guy perform in Pittsburgh tonight. I just wanted to let you know that I think you are an astounding performer and I hope to see you play again soon. Though I must admit that I was disappointed in not being able to ever see Robert Lockwood Jr. play, they couldn't have found a better replacement for the night. Thanks so much for blessing everyone with your humour and incredible musical talents!

Just wanted to say that it is good to see that the standards haven't died off - keep the work of the forebearers of blues alive. I saw you play recently in Oil City, PA on New Years Eve - had to leave in the middle of the show because of my little ones starting to get tired - from what I sat through, I know I missed an incredible set! Hope to see you in the area again soon.

Hello 

I’m interested in hearing as much as possible from Mr. Davis on and about the use of banjo with the blues. Can you recommend which cds feature his use of the banjo? Thanks very much.

I have heard Guy five times live in the past no. of years.  Like an old comfy pair of shoes, justgets better and better.  Can you bring him up to Toronto soon ?

Hello Guy, Interesting site.  I Believe you once met my uncle JP Cormier at a folk festival or something and played a few tunes with him.  I Enjoy your music, it's a great take on the traditional blues style, with a bit extra. Keep up the good work, you're already up there with the blues legends
on my list. -

Sincerely, DJ
