| hey Andy
Its me again, that guy from Murrells Inlet SC. I am visiting Wisconsin any worked around seeing you guys. I,ll catch you in Sheboygan on Sun. July 20th at the church picnic. If possible, let me know how long you play till. I will have to get a sitter for my grandchildren.
I read your online fan comments and I guess everyone likes you as much as I do. My heart was racing at the Ale House last year. That,s the last time a band excited me. Our music scene is becoming even more dismal. I dont even like to play anymore beacuse after you play EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE ALRIGHT, they request BROWN EYED GIRL. |

| The summer solstice party in Black River, what an enjoying time. It was soooooooo fun to watch you guys play with Ken Saydak, it reminded me how talented musicians you all are. It was very interesting watching you guys watch each other, and cue each other to play some music we`ve never heard before. Good job guys!!!!!!!!! Of, course, we missed Jimmy Jenuis, hehehe........... |

| Ken Saydak |
| Gentlemen, and I use the term loosely, thanks for all your consideration and generosity over the last few gigs as I sat in for Jimmy. You guys are a great band and playing with you is always a pleasure. I hope to do it again really soon. Uddawise. |

| Dear Andy,
I hope this e-mail reaches you as I was having problems with messages sent your way.
The parcel you`ve sent me with two albums by Westside Andy/Mel Ford Band has reached me safe and sound today, thank you very much!
After listening to your first, live CD I had no doubt that you guys are a super-tight band. Now, with two more albums, that impression continues. Your harmonica playing brings to mind images off all those harp masters – your tone is fat and juicy, your phrasing is memorable and your playing is overall imaginative. It goes great with Mel’s guitar licks. But there is not a single weak point in your band and all your albums prove that. What you guys did in this 10-minute instrumental called “Lip Service” is unbelievable – this is one of the best harp instrumentals I’ve ever heard! Congratulations.
I can’t wait for my listeners to get to know your stuff – they’ll be amazed just like I am. I will keep you up to date with my playlists and Living Blues reports.
Thank you again Andy for the music you`ve sent me! I hope all is well with you.
Best wishes,
Przemek Draheim

| The NEW CD... it is an award winning CD,I`m sure of it. We have almost worn it out, Terry`s gone thru 3 lighters, and we`re still listening to it. It took awhile, but it was worth the wait!!!!! The vocals are so sweet and smooth, and the music.. well, it`s just damn good. Great job.. Better get started on the next one. Waupaca, was a great time and you all sounded marvelous. Thanks for being!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Dear Andy,
My name is Przemek Draheim. I host two blues radio shows and I cooperate with American Living Blues` Radio Charts. You will find more about me on my website: www.blues.pl/draheim Some time ago I sent you a message about promoting your music in Polish blues radio.
My friend, Sue Minckler from the Marquette Blues Festival has sent me one of your CDs with your autograph on it, Live On The Westdide .
I`ve been listening to the album whole day today and I like what I hear. Together with Mel Ford you guys produce blues of the highest caliber, full of inspired musicianship and passion. I like the flavour of your music mixing a bit of Chicago and West Coast Blues, realy cool!
It will be my pleasure to feature your music in my shows. I`m sure my listeners will enjoy it as much as I do! I`ll keep you posted with my playlists and Living Blues reports.
Also, from your website I can see that you have two more albums under your belt - one called Handyman plus the newest one that will be released soon. Could you please send me them for airplay, as well? Please, let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes,

| Andy, don't know if you remember SeptemberFest or the contractual obligation of wlaking on the bartop at The Bar in Portage. Sadly one of the organizers of Septemberfest, my brother, John Goodman, took his own life shortly after his 53rd birthday in Sptember of 2006. John turned me on to the Shakedown band and I have been a fan of yours as well as the old band since. I have even burned the original signed version of that bands only vinyl god am i old album onto CD so I can and will share it with others. After John's passing we had to go through many of his things, including much Shakedown meorabila, if you are interested in any of it I hope I hope please respond. BTW nobody ever did Okey Dokey Stomp or Whammer Jammer better than you have. Thanks GOODY

| It was again a real pleasure to have gotten a chance to visit with you Mel and company. I flew up from FL to pick up a little BMW and got another bonus with you playing Thursday night. As always you sounded right and tight. I mentioned to you I am doing a solo gig down here and enjoying my playing and singing more than ever. But just wanted to say thanks for keeping me rocking and rolling.
So from another old time player best of luck and keep the blues in your heart forever.

| It's been a over a month since Jamaica, and I can still close my eyes and see the ocean. This by far was the most relaxing trip so far, number 5. We were treated like royalty, welcomed with open arms and smiles were abounding. It was great!!!! Seeing our friend Dayal playing made me very happy, he had quite a year, but him and his bass are all good again. Thanks again, Andy, for showing us this wonderful week in Jamaica. It was all good.... |

Since I have moved out east I have been playing with Teddy Young and the Aces, the Stingray Blues band and the Pennsylvania Barking Ducks. Andy, I think of you every time I play through the Bassman you helped me find. Say Hi to all in Madison/Middleton. Will you be touring out here some time?
