Just to say my wife, Barbara, and I travelled to see Guy in Corsham UK not really knowing what to expect having heard just a couple of his tracks on the radio. The evening turned out to one of the best we have had in terms of pure Blues music; listening to a man who is not only a superb musician and vocalist but someone who obviously believes in what he is performing. What a refreshing change from all the amplified rythmn and blues and just great to hear all the stories behind the music. Sheer class. Phil Collins, Hertfordshire, UK.

Hi Guy,

I saw you last week in Corsham, UK. You blew me away, if I can ever play a guitar half as sugar-sweet as you I shall die happy. Thank You.

Just a quick note, please say to Guy that me and Febrizio Poggis (the harmonica player from Italy who played with him at Piacenza Festival in Italy) saw him at our
at our national tv on the David Letterman yesterday with Pete Seeger. It was Great!

Thank you alot for your kindness! Have a great day!

Good afternoon,

I have enjoyed you music every since I listened to it at a Zora Neale Festival down in Eatonville Florida. I was looking at old movies that other day and couldn't believe that you were in Beat Street, and did an awesome job if I do say so myself. I know that Atlantic records had planned to release 3 volumes of music from the movie but only actually released 2. I was wondering if there was any chance of you remembering the slow song that you and Ms. Chong danced to in the movie?

Hello Guy:

Just wanted to let you know that I love your music. I was actually introduced to your music via my college mentor/second mother Lucia Desir (yes, Lucia who is married to Wilfrid). I play country blues guitar and am trying to get into blues banjo, mandolin, and ukulele. I am inspired by your work and I thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. Keep it up.

HI guys.

..I've had the good fortune to see Guy twice now and I will be in Membertou on Nov.13th also. I am a blues fan from the word go and it is great to have a major talent like Guy come down our way. I just wish he could get here more often as blues is not one of the premiere forms of music down here in ole Cape Breton. However we do have a cadre of dedicated blues fans and I'm sure they'll all be at the show with bells on. Keep that music coming.

Hello Guy,

I wanted to say that i am a huge fan of yours that came about from the 1984 time of Beat Street the movie. I myself like alot of music right across the board i also play guitar and attempt to write a few songs. I do have a question but do appreciate that you are now concentrating on being a professional musician. My question is in the film Beat Street when you slow dance with Dawn Rae Chong what is the title of the song and who performs it? I have tried to find out this information but to no avail.
If at all you could inform me then i would be most grateful.

Keep playing

First, I must say your live performance surpasses all of you recorded material. I only regret that my friend did not make the show and see your talents first hand.  You demonstrated mastery skill on a variety of instruments, yet you played at a tempo where the crowd remained enthusiastic. I really like the way you validated your son, he will always know how much you loved him. Thank you for your performance and signing my guitar. I am blessed to have Honeyboy Edwards visiting my home next month, it will be awesome experience to play with him.

Hearing you play with Tao and Pete at McDaniel the other night was pure magic...the harmonica/train/dog/escaped prisoner rap knocked me and my 11th grade son out! Thank you too for signing my "Liberty Guitar".  With your permission I'd like to perform "We All Need More Kindness in this World" again this fall at the Majestic Theater in Gettysburg.  Thank you for a magical night!

I saw Guy Davis play with Pete Seeger and Tao-Rodriguez-Seeger last night in the park in Hillsdale, NJ.  I am a lifelong fan of Pete's, as is my father and now are my kids.  Now, thanks to Pete, I've found a new artist to love.  Guy Davis was spectacular and entrenched both the kids and the adults in the audience as only Pete could teach someone.  What a great team they made and I can't wait to purchase my first Guy Davis album.  It was truly a fabulous experience for me, my parents and my children.  Thank you, Guy Davis!!

Hello Guy,

Just a quick line to say we miss you in the UK - saw your show in Newcastle under Lyme last year and am now a complete convert and treat all my friends constantly by playing your discs! Any dates for the UK as yet? Look forward to hearing you again Guy, carry on giving your brand of blues to the world - we need it.

Hi Guy,

I'm a long time fan and resident of Ottawa. I first saw you perform years ago at the Ottawa Bluesfest, and as soon as the show was over ran out and bought a couple of your CDs and got you to autograph them. Since then I have caught, and thoroughly enjoyed your show a couple more times, and always check your section at the local music store for new releases. Unfortunately this year I didn't get to your show as the theatre venue only holds an audience of 231, and was at capacity. We were very disappointed not to have a chance this time round. Thanks for the pleasure you've brought through your music and stories. And please do come back to Ottawa soon.

Good Morning Guy,

Let me start out by saying that it was an honor to be a part of your life during my years while living in New Rochelle, New York. I believe my love for music, and the arts came from spending time with you during my summer camp days.  I just want to say thank you for encouraging me, and helping me to understand that you can do anything. As I think about how you would take precious time out with those that needed help, and befriend them, and show love; for this I am eternally
grateful.  I remember seeing you in the movie Beat Street, and how excited I was because there was someone that would take time out just to make someone feel about themselves, and now reaping the good of it. Then you went on to daytime drama, how awesome is that.  I am so proud of you Guy, and while surfing your website I see that you have a male seed.  I know that you are so proud of your son, because I see the qualities in him that made you who you are today.  I just wanted to reach out
and share some love.  I am now living in Delaware. P.S. I miss those times of just talking with your parents every chance I got when delivering the paper. Often times I wondered would it be like if I had followed your advise, actually I did and every road I took I was needed somewhere else.  Maybe one day I can share with you if time permits. Thanks again Guy for just being you

Peace Gurney

Guy,

Thank you so much for 2 brilliant shows at the Byron Bay Bluesfest @ Easter 08, in the Jambalaya tent. Your music and presence made my Easter, thank you so much, love your music, especially the convict song with the sound effects and  the dogs and pigs and chicken sounds, loved it.

Mr. Davis:

It was a good experience witnessing your musical performance at the Davenport Library. I was with several youth and I can say that your performance was different for them. They normally listen to pop, soul, gospel and rap music/radio; by the way, I do also. Thank you for visiting the Quad Cities.

Saw Guy yesterday Sunday 17th March at the beautiful little country memorial hall at Modewarre in Victoria Australia. Guy's singing and playing was brilliant and a fantastic late afternoon treat following a day of 40 degrees Celsius. We were all hot and dusty. Guy's presence on that little stage was huge and the audience loved every note played. Thank you for coming to this little town and playing for us. Looking forward to seeing you again down our way one day in the future. Safe Travels until next time. PS Guy's performances at Port Fairy were wonderful too.

So please come back to Germany soon!

Dear Mr. Davis:

I saw you in concert at the Waldron Art Center in Fayetteville AR.  On 2/8/08 at your 9:00 show. I was the lady in a black and white jacket
 in the front row, that you hug after the show. It was an amazing show.  I laughed until my jaws hurt. your musical ability is astounding. I will tell everyone I know that they must have one of your CD and/or see you in concert. I will assure them that they will not be disappointed.  My favorite song was Chocolate Man.

We really enjoyed your performance at the Fayetteville Walton Arts Center today.  Words that the class used to describe your show were;
 excellent, fantastic, incredible, and a wonderful learning experience.  We will remember the Delta blues by the sound of a thump of a heart beat.
 We thought it was funny and cool how you used the harmonica to make so  many different sounds.  We like the song “Candy Man” and when we got
 back to school we taught Mrs. Brewer how to do the Chicken Noodle Soup dance.  We hope you will come back to this area soon.

Thank you for sharing the Blues with us. Mrs. Brewer’s 3rd grade

PS:  A note from Mrs. Brewer.  The girls on the front row really enjoyed the show.  Tierra may never wash your autograph off her forehead. To
bad it’s invisible. The other girls enjoyed meeting you, too.

What a treat - Guy Davis at Celtic connections Scotland -I only discovered you at the festival Club but hope to see you a lot more in Scotland

Just a brief note to thank you for a wonderful evening's entertainment in Glasgow at the Celtic Connections festival. You played a great set (as always!) and your voice has never sounded better. I look forward to your early return to Scotland.

I am from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and I saw you a few years back when you graced the stage at Carleton University. Great show! I have been
 watching your website waiting for you to mention a stop near Ottawa.

Your style is refreshing. I hope that you will someday take a quick jump up to our end of the world so I can bring all my friends out to see a
 true entertainer.

Cheers

David

Get the tabs out there!!!  How about: What you doin'; Candy Man, Chocolate Man for starters.

After hearing you on WUMB Boston net-radio well over a year ago, I'm hooked. Living on a rural Island in Washington there's not alot to do in
 the winter but sit and pick.

This entire genre is just plain fun to play...notwithstanding the stories and steeped history they offer.

You're very special...and thanks.

Dear Guy Davis,

I am writing to let you know why you wrote Please Missus. I bought a copy of your album Butt Naked Free a couple of weeks ago, a month after
my husband of 3 years passed away. Thought I needed a little blues to  help me.

About the fifth time I listened to it, suddenly it struck me that Willis was the man described in Please Missus, including the dusty hat. The image of someone showing up out of nowhere had always haunted me as well, and there he was. When, grasping at straws for a way to keep him here a few more minutes that first time, I said, "And what do you do?" he looked into my eyes all the way to my core, and said, "I'm just driving around looking for the next love of my life," and his eyes said, "are you her?" Five days later he moved in and definitely pulled his weight in every way, love of my life.

I'm listening to Please Missus over and over until it doesn't make me burst into tears. Thank you for writing it.

May I send you Willie's picture? Tell me how.

Nancy

My best friend is getting married May 31st, 2008 in Kingston, Ontario.  More than anything, she wants to walk out of the church with
her new husband while a friend plays your song "We all need more kindness in this world".  However, we have been unable to find sheet music
for your song.  Would you please be able to direct me how to purchase a copy of this song?  Thank you kindly. 

Best wishes, Nicole
