talented musicians. I hope

Woody's performance at 3rd Street Coffee House in Roanoke, VA was one of the best ever!!! You guys, Bill, Al and Sonny, really have it together and are just absolutely the one of the very best bands in town! Happy New Year!!! Do it again, over and over! And the next House Concert, well, just listen to Lillian and we'll know what the forecast will be! LOL!!! Sept. 30th was a great night! Steve Virts was awesome too! Love and Sunshine! God Bless Yall! Looking forward to hearing more of you in 2007!

Hey Bill,

Glad to hear everything is going well. Let me know if Woody ever gets around the St. Louis area anytime as I would love to come out and hear what you guys are playing. Can't wait until I see you in Jamaica. The time is flying so before I know it we'll all be in paradise.
Hope you and yours have a great holiday season.

Aw, Donna! Too bad my head's too big or I could have seen what I was doing :-) the guitar left a mark that would have looked funny around my neck! The Love Dummy Times makes you warm & melted? I'll have to think about that a bit.....glad to have you at the Flat Broke Open Mic. Check the photo section for new pics of it soon!

Hello Darlin',
Read your news letter and like so many people, "I was impressed, entertained,and informed." What a great job you are doing.
I had fun at joining you at the workshop last Saturday and look forward to playing a few gigs with you this summer!Let's make it happen! You can be Naughty and I'll be Nice. :) Luv Ya Bill!

Bill,

I just toured your website. Great! You have such entertaining tunes and a playful stage persona. It was a pleasure meeting you and chatting for a spell before your return trek to Roanoke. If you get a chance, stay in touch and don't forget the fine folks and singer/songwriters at the Vinyard. I'm looking for a return visit from the Bill Payne movement soon.

Bill-I owe you a debt of gratitude, as you were hosting open mic at my first (and to date, only) open mic performance, and gave me the courage as well as your guitar to make it happen! I can't say I'm happy at all with the Thursday night changes at the Dolphin. That being said, I think there may be a couple of other joints that would welcome the occasional open mic night. As you know, Al occasionally plays Campbell's Place on Orange Avenue...the bartender there told me that she thought the owners would be open to the concept, especially one incorporating a multimedia approach-stand up comedy, rap and the like in addition to the traditional open mic fare. Another thought might be Fork in the Alley in South Roanoke. Just some thoughts.

Take care, love your tunes and presence.

Thanks for your input, Sir William! I've been advised by my web host that folks with that problem are either using an out-of-date browser (like Internet Explorer or a version by AOL or Wal-Mart Connect) or they have their monitor set at a low resolution (that causes the images to be too large). Either way, it's an easy fix. Either download the latest browser update or, if your monitor resolution is less than 600 x 800, adjust it to a higher resolution. Adjusting the monitor will make everything smaller on the screen, so you may have to also adjust the default font sizes, too. Of course, it's all real easy on a Mac. I hope it is on Windows, too

Sir William

February 4, 2006

Willy, you don't have side or up and dowm scroll bars. I can't see the rest of the photos or any info below a certain area. Just thought I would let you know. Other than that the site looks great.

Dear Bill Payne,

While checking the performance times from the Nashville Songwriter's Festival, (a couple of my artists will be performing there,) I ran across the link to your site. I so liked it, and am very much looking forward to hearing your performance there. (Excellent job on your website, by the way.)
My name is Laura Jenney, I am the Executive Vice President of Mindsweep Entertainment & Promotions, and the Promotions Director for Marketects LLC, (which creates, produces, and markets syndicated radio programming.)
I will be meeting up at the NSF with several record company and other industry execs while I am there. We will be there to have a meeting, and to scope out talent. (I will make sure they are paying attention to your performance.)
Be sure to stop by the area where all the industry reps and artists are gathered and say hi. Feel free to drop me an e-mail sometime, so I can turn you on to a few opportunities.
Blessings...Laura Jenney

Hi Bill,
I can't believe that I haven't signed this book but I guess it was an oversite on my part.
I remember when you were at Anne's that weekend and had set up in her living room..I was totally blown away with your music, not just the lyrics, but your delivery. These songs came from your heart! You actually feel what you are singing about. Thats what makes a great singer/songwriter in my opinion.
You just keep up the great work, play every gig you can get and keep writing those great lyrics. Can't wait for your next CD.

Hi there! I finally got here, and I'm enjoying every bit of the web site, but especially the pictures of you when you were just a wee one. No, especially the bio and the songwriting. No, especially the music and the news. Aw, heck, I'm enjoying all of it!

By the way, what does Barry mean by "send me that Martin ASAP?" If he's talking about that D-21, you can tell Barry "in his dreams!" (Hi, Barry, by the way!)

Lots of love and good luck,
Sally

Hi Bill,
Sorry about the delayed response. I have very busy with new job responsibilities and social events, out three nights this week and participated in Walk for the Homeless on the Mall on Saturday.
I love your website. It's informative, colorful and passionate.
I would be pleased to be a part of the creation of your newsletter. A title that comes to mind is " From Me To You"-
through poetry and song.
Another person to consult about the newsletter is Tony Phillips who is a musician an dwho who has experience producing newsletters and websites. His e-mail address at work is Phillips@chea.org
Best wishes. Be in touch, Porter
