Hi Steve,
My daughter Emily (grade 5) wants to do a project on William McIntosh (your song has inspired her) and I was wondering if you have any information that you could share with her. D.O.B, family tree, anything really. Bye the way we love the song and the CD and listen to it often. Love to all (especially Aunt Hope)...... :)

Steve,

I was a thrill to catch your shows at Stanfest this year. Loved them all but the workshop with Mr. Hynes and Mr. Rogers was the cream of the crop. You do the town, county, province and country proud my friend! You had them all in the palm of your hand during that workshop "GreatBard". Great to have a tune with you at the Marina also. Wicked jam!!!

Regards to you and yours!

Stay healthy happy and in touch!

Rhonda Connolly and Michelle Duykers

November 23, 2005

Hey Stevie Wonder! Just wanted to echo Dennis' thoughts and to say thank you for helping us explore the musical flavours needed to complete our "Stone Soup" sound. You are truly a brilliant artist, an inspirational producer, and an incredible person. Recording our debut album with you has been one of the most awesome experiences of our lives and one that we will always remember fondly. Thank you for your patience, for your support, and for the hard-boiled eggs and toast. Hats off to you, man - you're the best!

Dennis Hull

November 22, 2005

We had the fortune of recording our new CD with Steve down in his studio, Myself, my two sisters, Rhonda Connolly and Michelle Duykers and a good friend and great instrumentalist Jason Burke. I've never had such a great experience within the music setting in my life. Steve I just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend and looking forward to finalizing the CD with you. You're an amazing producer. You put life in every one of our songs and brought us to a whole new place in our music. Thanks very much. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Dennis Hull

Jim Hanlon

November 12, 2005

Hey Steve,

Glad to hear the new band had such a great debut. Wish I could have made it but such is my life.

I think you've found that grove you've been looking for eh! Get that new CD back on track. What I heard of it sounded brilliant!

November 5, 2005

Yo,

Got my fly date back to the desert. I head off on Monday. Sorry Bard, but I won't make it for Saturday night.

FallJam was a real blast. The dobro and mandolin sure added one hell of sound to the entire affair.

The best of it all was having Kev around for the weekend. The lad was born to entertain. He also floored me with the new tune. It's a gooder!

October 17, 2005

Well the fall winds are blowning hard here in Southern Ontario, makes me think of a simplier time, walking out to Little Horseshoe, and having Jake meet me before I pass the turn by the well. It has been far too long since I've darkened your doorstep, because it always lit up my soul to spend time on the Bog. Cheers to you good buddy, I hope to be around your way sooner then later. Maybe Landry and I can play some Lazyhorse tunes for ya. Until then, I'll be lost in rock formations, waiting to find my way home. JC.
