Gary,

Wow, what a great show you put on for us!

Thank you so much for coming all the way to Camp Lejeune to perform at our “Welcome Back From Iraq” celebration! I can tell you it meant a lot to all of the Marines and their spouses that you would volunteer your personal time and considerable talents to honoring our return from our 13 month combat tour of duty in Al Anbar, Iraq. If only if we could have brought you to Fallujah while we were there!

Your performance was the highlight of our evening! Your stage presence and skills are impressive - hearing your music was like we were visited by the original artists. All I heard from everyone that night, and since is: “man, that guy is good!!!” Thanks for sharing your musical talents and making our celebration a memorable and extremely enjoyable occasion.

I’ve included just a couple of pictures – I’ll send a CD with the rest in the next few days.

Thanks again for all you did for us – and for your patriotism and support of our Marines!

Semper Fidelis,

Gary,

Thank you, spoke with several after the show, it is as you said - they can't wait to tell others.

Excellent show, we learned a bunch on how to do it and greatly appreciate what you did for us and our cause.

Thanks again and I'm sure we'll see you in the spring if not sooner, plans are already being made for the March show at the Lake.

Take care,
John

Hi Gary,

We are the Nebraska family that was at Captain¢s Galley last Friday afternoon. We had a great time listening to your music, getting involved and meeting new people. This is something we will remember and talk about for a long time. We have already told a number of people what a great time with had that afternoon.

Attached are a few pictures from the afternoon. Thanks again and we look forward to making it down there again soon!

Take care,
Brian

You sound like Buffet, but look a lot better!

There's a new guy playin' at The Captain's Galley this year and he's a lot better suited to The Galley's tropical atmosphere. Not only does he look like Jimmy Buffett, he sounds a lot like him too. Then, when he plays Gordon Lightfoot, he sounds just like LightfootGordon . This guy is good!

Here's his website: www.garysluhan.com You can click his "MP3s" link at the top of the page, then click on either Margaritaville, We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About or Little Miss Magic to hear a quick clip of him singing Buffett. Then click on If You Could Read My Mind to see how much he can change his style and sound like Gordon Lightfoot.

He does a LOT of other artists too as you can see from his "Songlist" page........alphabetically, from America to The Who......and Neil Young.

......And yes Joe, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is on his song list.

Just tryin' to keep my Phins Up, Terry

Thank you doesn’t say it! You set the tone for a great evening of fun and were GREAT to work with. We raised over $15,000 for the Senior Meals and Transportation Programs in our area and I couldn’t believe all the compliments we received about the event. Many people made a point to tell me that this was the best fundraiser they had ever been to – they loved you and are ready for next year! When the crowd was singing along with you and a few of them were hopping up to play the bongos, I knew we had a success on our hands!

You created a great atmosphere for our theme.

Thanks again!

Gary,

I wanted to thank you again for a most wonderful evening on Sunday. Your presence "made" the party! Our friends are still talking about how great you were. I know many of them took your card...I'm sure we'll be seeing you again through one of these many contacts. Cheers!

Oh my gosh , Gary, thank you. You were AWESOME. I hope you get plenty of referrals for the party , had a lot of people ask me for your website.

Gary,

Thank you for a great evening in Orlando! You are great and really made my vacation memorable. I'll keep watching your web-site to see if you get brave enough (or crazy enough) to come to New York. Take care :-)
