| Hey Andy, 7/22/09
Hope everything is going well with you and the band. It was really great to see you again at the Beloit Riverfest.
The reason I`m writing you is because Jeanns and I would like to invite you to come to her fundraiser which includes agencys such as the United Way, Epilepsy Foundation, Kandu and 5 others. We are not asking you to perform but just want you to come as our guest to see in person a young kid I have talked about to you in the past. At the time you were unaware of him but since his appearance on America Has Talent that may have changed. His name is Tallan Latz and he is a 9-year old Blues protigy that actually started playing at the tender age of 5. Jeanns and I had the honor of seeing him play at the Broken Spokes in Darien when he was 7. Andy, this kid is nothing short of phenomonal. Check him out on Youtube.com and you will see what I mean. Jeanns has arranged for him and his band to provide the entertainment at the fundraiser. The date will be on 8/29/09 at the Holiday Express in Janesville. I will have more information later for you if you decide to come.
I know what a busy guy you are and chances are you are probably booked for that day but we would sure enjoy having you come.
Best wishes,
Gary and Jeanns |

| bill soucy |
| 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........... |
|
| 6/22/2008 |
| 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,
