Just
a FEW of the many emails we've received from our devoted listeners ~~ |
|
I want to thank you and your staff for
putting together such a fabulous show in tribute to Patti Page on her
birthday. I was just blown away. Your selection of songs was amazing.
You really touched on all parts of her career. I know Patti was moved
by this and will no doubt listen over and over again. Patti is such a
wonderful person and deserves all the love her family, friends and
fans give her. The best tribute ever for an American Icon!
Michael J. Glynn, Manager
to Patti Page ~~ Mixed Media Entertainment, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rene E. Paquette ~~ Miss Patti Page Fan
Club President
THANK YOU for your wonderful 'Happy
Birthday' tribute in honor of Patti Page.
You're programmers offered up a much
deserved homage to a long-neglected music icon. As I said previously, Patti
is truly the First Lady of popular music...bar none. She was the
first with vocal over-dubbing. The first female vocalist to take Country
Music to the extent that it crossed over into the popular music
field. Tennessee Waltz is second only to White
Christmas in record sales. No matter who may come
after, Patti Page will remain: The First Lady of Popular Music!
Your recognition of her many, many professional achievements on
her Birthday was appreciated by me and, of course, her many, many
fans, believe me. Again, THANK YOU!
Michael McGarr ~~ A Patti Page fan, always

Thank you so much for celebrating Doris
Day's birthday via your broadcast. I enjoyed it very much and really
appreciated the lovely music that you played (some of which I had never
heard before) and I also enjoyed all of the interviews - they were
wonderful. Also thank you for reading out my email. Once again thanks
heaps and I hope you will do the same next year. Robyn Skaar ~~ Queensland Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

A big THANK YOU for honoring our favorite singer of all time...Miss Connie Francis. I do not get to hear it on Thursdays when it originally airs because of my work schedule, so I try to be home on Sat. evenings when it is repeated In Nashville at 7pm. I am very fortunate and proud to call Connie my friend and be a part of her life. You are all the best, Glennise P. ~~ Tennessee --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
Really enjoyed your Doris Day show today....but then I enjoy all of them.. I also loved the song selections, especially "Showtime" which is a really great song that should be one of those theme songs of Broadway. It's a great network and you can be very proud of what you are doing in bringing such a great range of really ageless songs to today's listening audience. Keep up the great work and thank you once again. My best, Paul Brogan ~~ Concord, NH --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Many thanks for your wonderful selection on
the Bobby Darin Broadcasts. I just loved it all and am hoping you will
replay at some other time so I can organize other family members to
listen. Once again thank you for your work. Regards, Judy McRae ~~ Sydney, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hi, I want to thank all
the members of your radio station for the excellent work on my own and
on behalf of my colleagues working in an office, a small company. All
day I spend at the computer, often listen to your radio station.
Always interesting to hear what is happening in neighboring countries.
Hard working days, your radio is helping ordinary office manager to work
out all week and on Friday evening when labor weekdays have been
completed, your radio is helping to distract from the work. Sincerely
and thank you for
your work, Stanislav
B. ~~ Krivoy Rog,

I am 70 yrs old and have your station on
almost every day, I feel like 16 again ! It puts me in a good mood
all day long. How can I say thanks for not forgetting about REAL music?
I was, and still am, an avid Doris Day fan so love your features on her
& Connie Francis, both whom I have met and are wonderful
people! Also, I was a huge Bandstand fan, so it is great to hear all those old songs too. Thanks a million ~~ Connie in Minnesota --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Below is a beautiful photo of Connie Francis artistically enhanced by Alie Smit in the Netherlands. The poem is lovely and heart felt by Hans Kunzel also from the Netherlands. Ode to Connie One day it seems so long ago I heard her on the radio Just suddenly it caught my ear That beautiful sound, so strong so clear From that day on, I was her fan I bought her records, one by one I used to play them all day long That voice...so wonderful, so strong The time went by, we had our share Happiness and sadness were there We had our joy, we had our sorrow No one will know what brings tomorrow But there's one thing I know for sure She'll always hit the top of the score Her name may have faded from the charts But she'll always be my Queen of Hearts ~~ Hans Kunzel ~~  ---------------------------------------------------------------------  Dear Baltimore Net Radio, I listened again to your 3-hour Baltimore Broadcast on December 12th. Your wonderful tribute to me warmed my heart, and I am so grateful to all of you. Best Regards ~ Connie Francis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hello BNR, It was again a great program
this evening. You can do another country evening because there are
many, many more. I told you so...Connie can sing everything.
 Thanks for this great program. Warm regards, Alie Smit ~~ The Netherlands ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

This is one of my favorite "Visits With
Connie Francis" ever. I'd forgotten how many fabulous country
songs she's recorded. Boy, this just reaffirms the fact that
Connie Francis is the best. I never tire of hearing her.
Thank you so much for this fantastic hour each week. Marcia ~~ Baltimore, MD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Below is a photo that was taken at the Meet
& Greet after the concert in Staten Island, NYC in April 2008.
It was my first visit to the USA and NYC, and I loved every minute
of it. Florida last year was also great...I hope to return soon.

Following is a photo of the BIGGEST hug that I received from Johnny in 1987!!! Oh, how I wish I could give him an even BIGGER hug now.  Carol Briers and Johnny Mathis in 1987 Carol Briers ~~ UK ------------------------------------------------------------- This was taken at
Connie's most recent concert in Lancaster, PA on February 13,
2011. Connie was looking so lovely as she was singing
"Mama" in this photo. Congratulations for that wonderful program with Johnny Mathis!!! It's a great idea to have his fans express their love and admiration for Johnny with our telephone messages and e-mails. I sent my tel. message and it was read on air, which I really appreciate. Besides, that marvelous interview was awesome, just as he is!!! I'm sure we agree that Johnny Mathis is a National Treasure to USA. Actually he is a Worldwide Treasure!! as well as a remarkable Human Being. Maria Zapata ~~
Monterey, Mexico I really enjoyed
the Johnny Mathis program. Loved the music and the
interview and I thought all of the messages were really sweet.
My message was played in the last hour and I am thrilled
that it was. My husband and I have seen Johnny perform 34
times over the years and are going to Cleveland in April.
I never tire of him and still get so excited when I am
going to see him. We have met him a few times and he is
always so gracious. Please thank everyone at the station.
It was such a treat. This was taken at the Old Time Country Music
Awards in La Mars, Iowa. I had a wonderful time and I
spent about an hour visiting with her. She is so nice and
sweet, just like everything I had heard about her. Warm regards ~~ Alie Connie made a lot of beautiful songs. In my car I have 6 CDs with all of Connie's music. After some time I make 6 new CD’s, sometimes I have a problem which to choose, but those which I love the best are always on it. I have made this picture for
your great station.
This photo was taken in July
2010...I flew The Pond to see Mr. Mathis for two wonderful concerts
in Pittsburgh...and was lucky enough to say "Hi" to this
lovely gentleman and I was thrilled. Marcia and Connie Francis in Las
Vegas 2004

“Connie“ programs.

Thank you Baltimore Net Radio for
this wonderful Connie Francis Tribute program. Best Wishes to you for Christmas
& the New Year ~~ Peter Walters George O'Reilly ~~ Liverpool.
England What a
great program and what beautiful songs. I enjoy it so much. Thank
you all for doing this for Connie. The first song i ever heard
from Connie was: My Happiness, I was 12 and I did not understand the
words but I loved the song so much. My favorite is “Three Good
Reasons. Thank you ~~ Alie Smit, The Netherlands --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Günter
Hein - Germany Boys and girls .....what a great program it is. I am stuck to my PC and enjoy it so much. I hear all those fans I know from the Connie email group , some I have seen at concerts, and the songs.......... What a blessing is the internet otherwise I never could have heard this beautiful tribute to the greatest singer of all times Thank
you All ~~ Alie Smit, The Netherlands Thanking you and your colleagues for a great Connie celebration.
MERRY
CHRISTMAS ~ Patrick Gualtiere ~~BUON NATALE Thank you to you
and your great radio station for the wonderful tribute you gave Connie
yesterday. It was the best program I have seen or heard about her. I
was born in Budapest and was a foreign language teacher of French and
Spanish for 44 years before retiring last year, so I especially
appreciated all the foreign songs which you played. She is very gifted
in conveying the songs feelings in their native languages and it is
amazing how popular she was around the globe. By the way, do not feel
guilty about your pronunciation of these titles. Everyone appreciated
your sincerity. I will spread the fame of your station to friends and
plan to tune in often. Have a wonderful Christmas and play Connie's
hit recording, Baby's First Christmas as well as her recordings of Ave
Maria and The Lord's Prayer. They were on her Christmas album and are
some of her best!
I was just introduced to your station today. What a thrill.
I'm already a big fan of yours and have sent an e-mail regarding your
station to about a hundred people. Thank you for playing
"real music." There's nothing today that comes close to
the music of the 40's, 50's and early 60's. I have found one
person missing, however, and that's Jane Morgan...she had some huge hits
in the early 50's. I saw her several times at the old Painters
Mill Music Fair in Owings Mills. What a voice she had, and she was
an ordinary friendly lady! Thank you again for playing the true
STARS of MUSIC. Stacey L. Roig -- Baltimore, MD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I listened to the Rock & Roll program. I thought it was wonderful. Beside the music, the background info was amazing. I also thought that your "sign-off" was almost lyrical poetry. Fabulous!! Dave King -- Raleigh, N.C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm loving your show about Doris Day. Unfortunately I wasn't fortunate enough to be around when Doris was making all those wonderful movies and songs (I'm only 36 years old ;-) ) but I've loved her for as long as I can remember and hearing about her career and all those wonderful songs, some of which I've never heard before is really a great listen. Before this show I didn't really know much about Doris apart from some of her more famous movies and songs so thank you for sharing this with us. Linda Anderson --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just finished listening to
your programme Sentimental Journey 1962 and
was pleased that you featured the music from Billy Rose's Jumbo which
is MY favourite Doris Day musical. She is so skilled in this film and
I know did some of the action herself. Dan Cranefield -- UNITED KINGDOM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just
a quick note to thank you for the great tribute programs to Doris
Day on FrednetRadio - we all appreciate it at the Doris Day Forum -
and recommend it on the forum banner: http://www.dorisday.net/forum/ But I also enjoy the station and listen in when I can while I'm working on my computer, Thanks again!
Regards,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike, Thanks very much for today's show. Some great songs I had never heard before. This pre-rock music deserves to be rediscovered, or discovered by people like me who were born after those years. Pedro -- France --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike, What a delightful program. I heard it tonight and loved it. You are very good, great voice, and such interesting information about Doris Day. Thanks for the program. It brought back lots of jr high and high school memories.
Alice Bernstein -- Baltimore
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sitting in San Antonio, Texas and relaxing like I haven't in years. It's amazing how peaceful music can be when listened to without enough Bass to create another aftershock in Haiti. Those years and entertainers were really great. Voice and orchestra sure beats the hell out of synthesizers and technology - - just a voice, big mic, and a load of vacuum tubes and you have an era that I don't want to and can't forget. Thanks for your hard work and all the fantastic memories. Howard Glick -- Texas -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listened last night to what was truly a GREAT show....kept me entertained from start to finish. Enjoyed the selections, particularly the ones I'd never heard like "Whole World Is Singing My Song" and "Dreams Are Getting Better." Not only was I entertained but educated as well......did not know about "soundies" and didn't realize that they were "cover hits." The big surprise for me was how much orchestration was on the recordings before the vocal but this was even before my time so I forgot how big the bands were then. Your personal narratives made the program so rich and hope you will include more narrative. For example, what brought a young six or seven into the audience to see her...did someone take you?....did you have any idea of who she was before? etc.......Anxious to hear about your first date with Doris on the silver screen......please give us the where/when/how.......and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! George -- Princeton, WV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mike and all on Radio! I'm listening to Doris Day right now and enjoying it very much. I'm also recording the whole broadcast for listening more times and to share it with the others, who can't do listen. Thank you, this is really a magical journey with our beloved Doris. Nada -- Sloveni ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Mike, my name's Sylvia - Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I love your show on Doris. You have so many songs that I've never heard before - that's amazing! I love Doris; she's my role model in every way.
Sylvia ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Keith and Mike, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be properly introduced and explore Ms Day's music. Being in the target group of lady Gaga, I am thankful that you broadcast the music of a true Lady.
