I caught your show at the Goulburn Blues festival earlier this year and was most impressed. Am Currently reviewing your CD "It's a fine Line" for the Canberra Blues Society, which is also really good. Love the Jazzy arrangement on "Big Fat Mama". Let us know next time you come to Oz and we'll try and organise a gig for you in Canberra. (I am president of the Blues Society here.) Regards and keep the blues alive.

Hi RV! I've turned my bandmates on to your music and now they're RV fans. At Friday's gig the crowd loved "Let the good times roll". We could not get them off the dance floor. The guys wanna do a rockin' version of "44" and "Trouble No Mo" a la RV. We rehearsed "How many mo times" but it sounds empty without piano, so we've left it out. I gave'em chills when I played "Die Easy" and "Blues Messiah". We still wanna back you up next gig here in Bradenton/Sarasota. Your Friend, drbob

The loss of Tim Logan cannot even be described in words. He was a man that always put a smile on my face. He made me feel better when nothing seemed right. He came into my life 5 years ago and we built some beautiful memories. He introduced me to his closest friends whom I have grown to love just as much. Steve and Mark, you will always carry a special place in my heart for the friendship you gave to Tim. He loved the both of you, always remember that. Although 5 years is such a short time to know someone, I feel privileged to have gotten those 5 years to get to know someone so extraordinary. Not everyone gets to fall in love. I got the opportunity and it was wonderful. I just wanted to say thank you Tim for ever loving me and being my friend. I know we will see eachother someday, I can't wait to see him again! Love April

Steve Arvey... What a small world. My friend, Marlene K. Goodman - 1 of the top Illustrators in the world - invited me to your gig tomorrow nite! I'm ecstatic to hear that you are doing so well, Steve! I dont' think I've seen you for 13-15 years. Remember when I would babysit for Sadie when you'd go to NYC! I also contacted Sandy Lavorini from the old CMC to see if she & Dan could make your gig. Great website, too! The only bit/byte of creative criticism is that the deep purple letters fade into the black background & now that I am 49, it's not too readable even with my glasses! Maybe you can have your webmaster change that! I know you're bizzy getting ready for 2-moro! Just had to drop in and say hello & Happy 21st Century! C U 2-moro!

For some time now i've been receiving emails from Steve and i have only just returned home from The 6th Annual Blues Music Festival in Goulburn NSW where i had the great pleasure of seeing Steve perform a number of times - with a band and also in a solo acoustic setting and in a jam type setting on the last night of the festival. I also had the very real and extremely humourous pleasure of sharing a few drinks and a meal with Steve and my good blues buddies here in Oz' Mr Mark 'Radar' Watson and the 'Round Man Of Sound' Mr James Glendenning. I urge all of you that may happen to read this to do WHATEVER POSSIBLE to get out and catch Steve at one of his gigs ! He is one hell of huuuuugely talented musician - and he literally brought the house down at The Blues Festival - you've no idea just how good he is live - geez louise that man can really play guitar - and on the last night of the fest' at the all in jam WHOA BOY!!!!!!! Not only that he is a great person to talk to and to get to know - he has a heart as big as the great outdoors and also the most outrageous sense of humour and fun. The title for his cd "Soul of a Man" is very appropriate - 'cause his soul really does come shining thru his music and especially thru his fingers when he plays that guitar. Steve - you really touched a whole lot of people here in Australia - we is gonna miss ya big time and we're all looking forward to your return here - just don't leave it too long dude ! ps : FAIR DINKUM ! you're one of a kind! cheers mate :o) John"FJ"Mifsud

Saw your Saturday Night show at the Goulbourn Blues Festival. What a great show!!! I was really bugged off when They close the Bar and people all started to Leave!! This Curfew thing was very confusing!! It was great to hear some real Chicago Blues from a Chicago Bluesman!! I hope that you come back to Sydney so I can see you at The Basement!!! I am sure they will let you play late into the evening. Ian

Dear Steve Sorry I didn't get to see you at Bruthen, but Bruna tells me you played great! Bruna got me to put your picture up in the pub, I've taken a few shots that I will send to you soon. We have a web page at www.planet.net.au/~oriella with some nice pics of the Tambo Valley (if you need them for your review of your trip to Oz!) Looks like your have started to make a name for yourself down here (it takes a bit of time, we Aussies are a bit sceptical when it comes to artists from the USA, I think some think we have no idea about blues music and think that by simply saying they are from the USA that we will think they're great!) Nothing works better than what you have done, not big noting yourself but playing really good blues. Good luck with it all. Cheers

Steve, Just a note to say I saw you perform in Launceston Australia last Friday (25/1/02). I nearly fell off my chair when I read in the local paper you were performing at the Royal Oak Hotel the following night. Your show was sensational, you even converted my wife to the Blues, (a major achievement). Thanks for coming to Tasmania, I look forward to seeing you perform again, hopefully in Chicago next time!!

Will catch up with you at the Goulburn Festival. Your show on Saturday Night at Thredbo was amazing @#@$!@. Thanks for sharing your music with us.

About the CD -Im Hooked!!!- I love your vocals on Mississippi, The rhythmic infectous beat of a Bridge Torn Down, Freedom of the soul with the Funky DJ passion's and the soul yearning of the heart/guitar string lament of Xmas time that prepares you for the rhythms of life. "Soul of a man" is like a festival of the best Blues music together in one venue. Regards Ruth

Hi steve

just seeing if you remember me from the all-under 15's blues band in the isle of man (out of the blue) who played at the laxey blues festival. Just need to say that the workshop you did was amazing and adam our bass player put it perfectly he said "if you want to listen to a guy who will inspire you to practice more and make you give up due to his sheer talent of playing guitar steve arvey is perfect". i have purchased a freddie king album as you have advised and am thoughraghly enjoying it. I have two of your albums and i am trying to (unsuccessfully) figure out "its my soul", "coming back to you" and "the doldrums" so we could cover them in our band (with your permission of course). Anyway thank you very much you really have inspired me to play more blues and less widdle!!! Thankyou again davy ( 14 yr old guitarist in out of the blue, isle of man)

If anyone could possibly advise me on the best website to use to find blues schedules, please advise. I was unable to find Steve Arvey in any of them during a recent trip, and I find it difficult to believe it secondary to his lack of recognition there.

Or are they as ignorant as I was before I heard his music?

12/26/00 - dj senter - eMail: djsen90@yahoo.com

Wuz up Steve, I'm sure you don't know me, but I was referred to you by a friend I know works at a music store up in Grayslake, Ill. by the name of Ben Zinapatha. Ben did some work on a demo cd for me and heard about the trouble I was having putting a show together. So I guess he heard that you were in the market for some weekend touring musicians to work with and wanted to let you know that there's a pretty wild drummer looking for somebody to hook up with. Believe me, I'm seasoned at my craft and not afraid to take on any challenges. Basically, I'm a variety musician playing alot of stuff oriented to funk, jazz, rock, latin and blues. I can lay down a steady groove or get wild when its called for. I read charts and I'm a quick study for mostly anything. Early influences include the likes of Mitch Mitchell, Buddy Miles, Buddy Rich....that evovled into more of fusion oriented music back in the seventies where my main influences were (and still are to a degree),Alphonse Mouzon, Lenny White, Billy Cobham, and Mike Clark to name a few. Then again, those days I had alot more energy. Don't get me wrong though, I still hold my own even after a few years hiatus. I never lost my enjoyment of performing, but now I'm more interested in playing stuff folks can dance and have a good time to....a more conservative approach now that I've had a taste of parenthood. Anyway, I've got myown setup; acoustic and electronic (Doing some producing). Just want to let you know that I'm available if you're in need of a solid percussionist....oh, and did I tell you I do alright holdin a tune? I mainly program my drums for that if I have to do the lead, but I can do alright on a few backups. So, you got my email. If you'd prefer, give me a call at: 847-477-9277. Got a day job, so its best to call in the evening, or leave a message. Love to hear from you. DJ Senter

11/10/00 - Billy - eMail: Bluesboy@yourgig.com

Hey Steve I really like your guitar playing! I am a blues guitar player too. I was hoping you could give me some advice. I have a Mesa Boogie amp with lots of effects which I get a great tone with. I use these verb settings along with mild distortion and a touch of chorus. The problem is that my amp keeps cutting out. The whole thing goes dead after every song! Then just as I take off my guitar to see what is wrong, it turns back on. I'm at the point where I don't want to stop playing between songs! I know I can't do that because eventually I would bleed to death from my fingers! This is making me nuts! Everything was working fine until I hooked my AC up through "the clapper" that I took from my dead grand mothers estate sale. They make great surge protection devices. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? I've got this really big gig coming up at Mustaries in Chicago. I'm expecting about 500 people to be there. I hear the place is "the place" to play in Chicago. I don't want to screw up there. Also, I will be recording the show. Do you think I should ask the owner to beef up the PA there? How big is the stage? I'm sorry about all the questions but we are driving in from Hicksville,TN and we've never played there before. Thanks again for the great music. Yall Rock!

Hi Steve and Friends,

I just wanted to say hi. I can't type much today because I have this bigtime chest cold. I'm sure I'll be alright soon. I'm just glad to know that your friends are finding out so much about me! How's the band? How was playing Minnesota? I've never been there. It's always hard for me to travel. I can only stand for so long and then my back begins to hurt. I have a special brace that I wear to help me. It also works as a tent!

Take care,

Just wanted to send a note to say hello to you and the fellows. Hope all is well. Still feeling the joy I shared with you guys and my son. He's 25 and we had never been out on the town so to speak. We had a ball, surprised him that you all let me share some music with you. Steve that was a very unselfless thing you did by letting me, an unknown get up and play with you. I am a huge fan and listener of the "WOLFMAN". Between him and Muddy, that put the juices to the Chicago Blues, it don't get no better. But the WOLFMAN can really howl it out. I hear his influence in your stuff. You got it down, heard that when I walked in the Knickerbockers. Got me all fired up. Listen share my hellos with the rest of the guys, Tim, Ricky, and that crazy harmonica player. You all were a lot of fun. My son took off this morning for a job in Dallas on a 32 million dollar tower. God has blessed us and I'm so happy for him. May god be on your journey and the light of happiness shine on you and yours. Take care.

As always I am

This is in reply to me not promoting West Side Heat properly. I do have plans to release a West Side Heat CD. My legal staff is negotiating with Record Companies in securing a record deal. I do realize that Thier are only three West Side Heat songs on the new CD. At the moment I am making a transition from Acoustic Country Blues to Playing my Stratocaster and Danelectro. I wanted to release this CD to showcase my wide variety of Guitar styles. I am sorry that you are dissapointed in my representation of West Side Heat on Compact Disc. I would be happy to discuss the Trials and Tribulations of Touring around the USA and keeping a band together. I welcome any comments, Financial aid or suggestions. Thank you


05/03/00 -

I saw the show last night at Buddy Guys Legends. It was a great show. I do not understand though why there are Steve Arvey cds for sale and not West Side Heat ones. On your schedule you say that West Side Heat is going on the road to support the release of the cd but I did not see a West Side Heat cd for sale. Where is the promotion for West Side Heat? This is a great band and I do not think that you are promoting it properly.

BENEFIT CD AUCTION (Please pass this message on)

Hi, everyone:

Wednesday night on the way to Boston, legendary bluesman Sonny Rhodes, his wife and his band were nearly killed as they were traveling through a highway construction area in Connecticut. The van's engine literally exploded into flames in the left lane between two concrete dividers, and they had to get past that before they could pull over, jump out barefoot, and run. There is nothing at all left of their van, their instruments, their clothing, medications - nothing. They could only stand back and watched it all burn. The good news is that everyone is safe.

ONLINE AUCTION TO BENEFIT SONNY RHODES

In the wake of Sonny's near-tragic accident on November 10, we're relieved and happy to announce that he and his crew have made it home safely. In order for them to get back on their feet and back on the road, King Snake Records is contributing 3 of every CD we have in stock (5 of each of our Sonny Rhodes titles) to be auctioned off to the highest bidders, with 100% of profits donated to Sonny and his band. Beginning right now, you may place a bid online for any CD you see listed at http://www.kingsnakecd.com. The two highest bidders for any CD will receive it in the mail, personally autographed by Sonny. We also have autographed Sonny Rhodes posters up for auction. Any contributor or bidder will receive a personal thank-you from Sonny. The deadline for bids is midnight on Thanksgiving Day, November 25. This is your chance to get some great new music as well as to help out a veteran worldwide touring bluesman of the finest caliber.

Keep up the good work and thanks again for buying the CD. Harlem Slim!!!

He say it good too but Kraig is not so good. He said he bore him to death. He say you need crazy long hair bass player and other blessed freak music people to be most better for play. If you come to Mecca soon, please bring them too. If you don't you will loose hand. We do that to you here. I will like to do it myself for you but can not. Sheep will miss it. Those Chicago funny boys should come here...they will like sheep like you! Good bye Steve! I miss you...

You playing with Kansa City Red at the Sunday afternoon Blues on Halsted matinee, & Red keeps time like a waterlogged Timex; you & Hoekstra (complete with starched mohawk way before it was 'in' ) tearin it up at Fiddlers on Devon; postcard from WSH on the road in Colorado, (they sure grow some horny rabbits out west); following WSH across Canada, boy I really had to WORK following your show, talk about high energy! And then there's Tony Manguilo. I notice you said nice things about everybody, big man. I'm proud you're back, don't go away again. Love, Liz Mandville Greeson, Diva
