"I do like your stuff. Will you be appearing in New Orleans any time soon? I sure would like to catch you guys live. Your music has that same kind of gut - raunche like that of one of my other faves - John Hiatt. But then, you probably know that.

"I'm writing from Argentina, and I'm a musician (keyboardist) in a rock 'n' roll band in a small town. I like computers and the Internet, so I was downloading your sample songs from mp3.com. I want to tell you that your music is very good. It's the kind of music that I like, and that we play in my band. I want to thank you for supporting this kind of music. Here, in Argentina, there are not many bands that play "true" rock 'n' roll. We are trying to be one of these bands. When I heard the song "I'm tempted", I was very happy, because your music is new for me and is very good, and I was happy to discover your band. I will get your CD "Makana" soon. Thanks Tony for reading this message and I hope you continue on this way."

Comment about "Already Over You" 8/30/98 Island Zone Debut
"Hey, It's a good song. That's why it's on the air. And that's what this show is all about. It's that simple!!"

"Something which resonated in me upon reading some
heartfelt words from you and the people you have obviously touched. "
"It's just nice to know there are some mature musicians out there still
holding on to their dreams, keeping the fire alive, and all the while keeping
some perspective and honoring the right priorities. All too rare in our crazy
business."

"I remember the night that we met, was a night I will never forget, Oh baby, it's the way that we dance." I fell in love with Gary, as we danced the night away. It was the night before his friend Tony Barca's concert at the Huntington IMAC. When Gary and I went to Tony's concert, it was as though Tony wrote the song, "The Way That We Dance," just for us. We bought MAKANA (the gift, reward, bonus), and I will always consider to be Tony's special gift to Gary and I.

I love your new record -- congratulations on the great work! -- your horn section parts & b.u. vocals are particularly great -- love your "Dad" song -- all the songwriting is your best so far. Nice to hear some of the "oldies" too. Hope you're having great success with it.

I just want to let you know about and endorse Tony Barca's CD called "Makana" which means, The Gift. I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to listen to this CD. The music, lyrics, etc. are outstanding! If you havn't done so already, check out his Web Site and buy his CD. You will be glad that you did!

I attended Tony Barca's concert at IMAC in Huntington, NY, and bought his CD "MAKANA." I find that the CD has become one of my favorite selections to play. The music is great, the lyrics seem to express so many experiences I can relate to, when I listen to it, I find myself smiling and moving to the beat. Thank you Tony!!!

Everyone in my group was blown away by the
show.
Many of them did not know what to expect even though I built it up
so.
I would love to have taped it and heard it again....Will you be doing
another??? maybe an outdoor summer thing!
----- Mike Bartoldus, Wheatley Hieghts, NY -----
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you the show was excellent Sunday evening. You guys sounded very tight, the entire band was into it. Very cool show. Good luck with everything in the future.
----- Peter D'Addario, D'Addario Strings -----
I had a wonderful time last night, while I am a little groggy today. I am usaully a no coffee guy, but this morning called for a little cup of joe. But it was well worth it. Great Show!!
----- Darren Nowicki, A&R J-Bird Records -----
Was at the 2:00 to 3:00 show, signed up to be on the
mailing list, and bought the MAKANA CD. In fact it is playing now as I send
this e-mail.Thanks for the fun afternoon and hope to catch the "blues" with you
at some other time and location. Thanks,
