The Piedmont Brothers Band Guestbook

Great project! Glad to see there is a bit of musical life after all. "Buddy's Stomp" is some of the finest banjo we've heard. Great songs and concept all round. Keep up the good work. I hope to meet you one of these days.

Marco,I told my sister about the disk and what a great job you guys did.  I spoke with her Sunday night and she said that she had gotten the disk and loved every cut on it!

Just received the CD, listening to it. WOW !!, love it, takes me back to the time when I first discovered the Byrds and the Burritos, the same thrill you get, when you hear a band, that you just know are gonna make you wanna listen and listen to them, again and again.

Love all the songs my favorite on this cd is 'Annabelle Lee'. I hope you will do 'Santa Fe Rosia' on your next cd. Bill

I just got the Bordertown CD today, forwarded from my old address in South Dakota. Thank you much! I am once again living near Chicago. Looking forward to hearing your music very much! I have some music news of my own so I hope to hear from you.

Brilliant work! Marco, you're a genius. Glad to see you getting such widespread exposure. Best wishes to you you all.

I've been listening to the cd over and over these past few days - in rotation with Thom Landt's CD of the same name 'Bordertown'. I like the sound on your CD - the banjo playing sticks out on some tunes. The playing is excellent on all of the tunes. I like the vocals as well - although as I said before some sound just a bit off - or maybe jarring is a better word. I do think it has a bit to do with the words not being in the singer's native language. I may just be reading into this knowing it to be the case . I don't mean it as a criticism even though I'm sure it comes over that way. I especially like the tunes "Working On A Bateau", "I Wish It Would Rain", "Bordertown" and "Buddy's Stomp" (I get a kick out of the dog barking for some reason- although I do love the song itself) I'm not a big bluegrass fan but I do like it as an influence in music. I hear strains of the Bryds, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen, Gram Parsons, Flying burrito Brothers, Poco and others in this disc. I mean this as a compliment - your band has captured the essence of those artists without copying them. I'll be looking for the announcement of the possible North Carolina shows next year. You just never know- I've been known to travel long distances for shows by certain artists. Take care, Dennis

Marco and Ron are truely talented individuals and wonderful people. All the best on your musical journey!!

Grazie Marco per avermi inserito nella mailing list. sempre contento di avere notizie tue e della tua passione. ciaopaolo

Your music is great. I think it will take you a long way in life. You might become famous and I think your coming pretty close. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sending me Bordertown, which arrived here right to my birthday. What a wonderful present. It's a CD which should not be missed in any Byrds-related collection. Congratulation to you, Ron and your friends for this excellent album. Horst-Peter

Just received the CD, it's amazing, you just cant help but love it. Definate Byrds and such influences here. Our mutual friend Horst-Peter spoke well of it, so I decided to check it out, Wheels is truly an amazing piece of work, but I was hooked by the Wampus cat song, born and raised down here, I grew up with my dad telling me tales of the Legendary Wampus Cat, anyway you will just feel good when you get this disk. cxcx

Interesting cd ya have, lookin forward to recieving it. Starbyrd , Oh yeah I remember them, good old HPc.
