Hi Don, I played a few tunes for Bill. He said you have some talent. We love it.

I send links of your videos to so many people across the US and Europe, and came to the following conclusion: There are not near enough of your solo videos out there on YouTube! I look forward to seeing many more in future and hopefully a few solo shows as well... It's time for an LA road trip!

Dear Don, Bob Culbertson has recommended I make contact with you. I am looking for a Stick teacher here in LA and he suggested that you might help me out? I am a complete beginner on the stick but have been playing jazz piano for many years, studied at Berklee College. I have a lot of music experience, just not on the stick! Can you possibly make time for a new student? If yes, YAY! If no, can you recommend someone here in LA who might be willing to take me on? I work hard and learn fast - Thanks Catherine

Hi Don, The site looks great and the music is even better, can't wait to hear more, and already looking forward to the next time you come "home". See you soon!

Genius, Don. Looks Great! You're Great I love you.

Hi Don, many greetings from Italy!

All the Best, Giovanni

Hi Don.

Looking good. Hope to meet you again soon.

Take care. Kris

GREETINGS BIG FELLA! You be sounding mighty fine on the NS,my friend! Your web site is a work of art, did you do it under the outfluence of donuts??? as of late, I have been Studying 1x a week with trey gunn... This has been a dog send! AND, I tuned the melody side in 5ths as well, and it just opened the STICK up to me in a way 4ths never did... Being a bass player, i guess.... at any rate, I have been busy playing with my band Comfort Food (celebrating the music of Electric Miles Davis, meets Fela Kuti)... yeah we are doing some 70's jazz fusion and some afro-beat as well. You would like the band... And doing some music with some musicians from west africa... Playing Stick with hand percussionists is a total gas, don't ya think. Getting ready to send Stick to Emmett for fresh set up and a GK3 pickup... I hope this finds you well! Blessings to you and for the great vibe you put out into the donutsphere! randy

Hey Don - I was in your 6th grade class and will never forget you playing "Wipeout" on the guitar for us.....so glad to see how successful you are. Pam

I am glad that the show went well yesterday. Ray K & Frank Jr are 2 of the best. I am sure that Frank Jr kept up with you even if you didn't hae it all mapped out.
