Hi Tom!

long time no see! I googled my name and the word photo's to see what people were saying about the photos that I take and found Myself in all these great photos of Wyoming.

I didn't have a camera at the time so it was especially wonderful to see them.

I hope everything is going great with you!

Big hugs

Hi Tom,

I just Googled my dad's name (John Giacalone) and your site was the first to pop-up! He passed away in November so It was really cool to see a picture I have never seen before of all of you playing. Music was his life.

thanks for the smile.

Hi Tom. I don't know if you remember me but I am Stacy Donahue's aunt that lived in Lake Villa. I remember how much fun we had making the beer drinking noise at your home for the song "Girls Night Out". We saw Stacy over the Memorial Day weekend and she looks wonderful and sounds great. You and Kathy were a great influence on Stacy and I know she misses you very much. I hope all is going well for you too, you are a very talented guy. Marc and Carolyn Johnson

I'm impressed by your web site and the length of your career. I pursued my career about 8 years ago as a singer, and things were moving pretty fast, but then things went crazy (it's a long story). Anyway I've still been writing lyrics and I'm looking to put my feet back in the water. I'm going to record to some demos and I'll let you check them out. If you like them maybe we can work on a project or two.

This is for Stacy. Someone from Fremont Nebraska sent us the article the Fremont Tribune did on you. Wonderful. We loved seeing the aritcle and the picture.
We now live in Vero Beach Florida, 60 miles south of Cape Canaveral on the ocean. We are in a large church of 2500 people and 5 ministers. We think of your family how great it was to know all of you. Christopher is also about 60 miles from us and is a Vice president of a bank. We wish you all the success in the world. It was nice to find the article and know you are really doing so well. We send love. PS. We get back to Fremont a coupleof times a year. Sarah and Jed O'LEARY HAD A Baby boy in JUNE. They are both still teaching there. Love, Sybil and NORM
