| dirt band tonight 1981 - Posted 01/08/2010 |
| we have an old VHS tape of Dirt Band Tonight from 1981 and wonder if it is available anywhre on dvd. We watched it constantly while the kids were growing up - now at ages 31 and 27 they still go with us to see NGDB whenever you're in the DC area (we'll see you at the Birchmere in March). We've been to 14 shows through the years. Would LOVE to get our hands on a copy of that old tape. |

| HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Merry Christmas + Happier New Year - Posted 12/25/2009 |
After having lost your sweet Mom Geri last year (know she is GREATLY missed), the NEW year seems to be full of promise ... Great expectations at the end of January with your GRAMMY nomination (Yippee!!), and I just read that Bojangles is being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for 2010...Awesome! Please keep spreading the laughter, and your own brand of pure infectious entertainment, through that unique captivating music of yours. They are LUCKY folks who get to experience it first hand!(the ONLY way to fly!) We are not all so fortunate... Hope 2010 brings all you deserve, John, and all your heart might desire.
Friends from the Good Old Day, Pam and Roger |

| Hey John - Posted 11/06/2009 |
John, I signed onto your facebook today. My very first. My wife is into that but I have never been that charged up aboutit. I saw Steve Martin last night at the Napa Valley opera House and he mentioned you so I thought I would check out what you were up to. I have followed your career off and on but not for awhile. I cannot believe it has been 26 yrs since our 20th school reunion. time gets away. It sound like things are going well for you. It is good to see nice people do well.

| My late mother, Louise Long Brown ,was your mom's first cousin. We met you backstage @ the Strand Capital Performing Arts Center in York, PA in the 80's when you opened for Louise Mandrell. Just wanted to say hello & tell you how much I enjoy listening to you play. |

| I knew Steve Martin was good on the banjo, but your production made the entire album sound supurb. Best banjo album in years. |

| Keep Up the Great Music!!! - Posted 08/20/2009 |
| THANK YOU for being back with NGDB, your solo career AND Producing "The Crow!" The anal idea that people should "Choose a Career and Focus Only on THAT" is so overwhelmingly disproven by all your accomplishments...as WELL as all the talented people you've aided by YOUR talents and multi-interests! THANK YOU, JOHN, for all you've DONE and all you'll be DOING! Keep up the Excellent Music!! We have TEENS that are learning from you now, and all your accomplishments are great PROOF that people only limit themselves by NOT trying all they love to do! Thanks Again! Chris |

| concert in Jackson Hole Wyo - Posted 08/11/2009 |
I have wanted to see a NGDB concert for years. I am from that era. I finally had a chance to see you guys while in Jackson Hole, Wyo on 7/24. Great concert, great crowd, and great music. Worth the wait.
Thank you, |

John,
I've written an article for the "Remember When" column of this Sunday's (August 9, 2009) Kansas City Star Magazine. The subject is your first meeting with Riverrock on a cold December night at Huck Finn's in the River Quay (now the River Market) back in 1974.
If you can't get a hard copy, you can access the web page at: http://www.kansascity.com/starmagazine/

| AHA! There you are.. - Posted 06/17/2009 |
| Thanks for the great blogs...Now that you've started, I think you're enjoying blogging perhaps more than you thought you might. I have a feeling writing (which you do so well) is your second love .. right behind entertaining live. Hope it was as good for you as it was for us :-) because we look forward to much more (of both). (duh) |

| Where's the blog? :-) - Posted 05/27/2009 |
Hey John: When are you going to commence blogging? Should have lots to talk about... starting with your appearance on American Idol: How about a behind-
the-scenes look at what that was like ... especially the backstage scene, with so many big names performing that night... And what you thought about the finalists, too.
Was great to see you there, right up front with Steve, etal. Looking good, as always! Hope the CD is doing well, especially now that it's out on Rounder...
BTW why so few solo shows coming up? We miss you out here!
