Hey
guys, Jimmy Trapp here. Just wanted to leave a note saying thanks
for a great weekend when you came to sioux city. both shows were
great. I also want to say thanks for your willingness to kick
Eric out for a good half hour and sing songs with me. You guys
are great and very generous. and I want to give you a shout out
from the ORIGINAL Heart of Heemstra. (not the one you saw at the
last prelims, I was the only original member) we all want to say
how honored we are that we got to compete in the prelims against
Vocal SPectrum the year you went on to win the colligiate contest,
2004. And for myself, from getting to see you guys in Sioux City,
you four great guys who are cocky, to proud of themselves or boastful.
Thanks for the great time at the AFTER the After glow. Im sure
ill see you guys again at the next convention. Take care! - Jimmy

I
loved your performance on 9/16/06 in Dallas. Do you have a new
CD in progress (I've already purchased the current one)? Would
you consider doing a CD of hymns - I'll Fly Away, Turn the Radio
On, At The Cross, etc.? Your voices would make those songs come
alive! Thanks, Cindy Bartram - (cin-dy@juno.com) on Monday, September
18, 2006
Thanks
for sending the CD through so soon after purchase. Am currently
driving my Mum crazy as I play it to death. If you're coming to
Jack and Kitty's campout in 2007, I'll see you there. I'm easy
to spot. I have the English accent! All the very best for the
rest of your championship year. - Paul - (paul@gardner2622.freeserve.co.uk)

to congratulate you for your awesome performance and win; I viewed

I'm
so glad I got to hear you sing a tag on Thursday at AOH's rehearsal.
The first time I heard you sing, at an AOH concert, I knew you
were destined to be International Champions...I just didn't know
you'd do it so quickly! I love all four of you, but, as a tenor
myself, I have to admit I'm really partial to your tenor. The
River Blenders Chorus is so proud to have yet another International
Winning Quartet in our very own city. - Laura Buehler - (communications@riverblenders.org)

Hey
- random thought- you guys should ask David Wright to arrange
that "Guys & Dolls" song, from the musical... that
would be sweet. "...call it sad, call it funny, but it's
better than even money, that the guy's only doin' it for some
doll!" - Theo Hicks - (insignia_lead@ameritech.net) on Saturday,

I
was blown away when I got the CD and heard And Can It Be. That
was FANTASTIC!!! I bought the CD for Scarborough Fair, but was
pleasantly surprised. Could you post your version of the words
on the website please? What do I need to do to get permission
to use it in a video for my www.jesusrocksmusicians.live.spaces.com
website? Who do I contact? - Cal Jennings - (caljen386@yahoo.com)
on Thursday, August 17, 2006
Dudes!!!
I'm SO bummed that I missed the Power Play campout! I'm sure you
guys had a blast anyhow, wish I coulda been there. I was at a
Lame-O wedding. Well, you better go to next year's campout! We'll

Hey
Guys! I got to hear your CD for the first time this weekend. What
an awesome sound, so clean, so velvety, such a blend... subtle
where needed and crushing when it's just gotta be there! The variety
of music is impressive, and your execution is stupendous. Wow,

Hey
guys. I don't often do these Guestbook thingies, but just wanted
to thank you all for your stunning performances at Harrogate.

hands. Congratulations on your International success, and I can't

chills from the first chord to the last. Great CD as well. I purchased

been bragging to everyone I know that you all won. Like I had
anything to do with it. LOL. Congratulations once again. May God
continue to use and bless all four of you greatly. Keep spreading

gold and our show was guaranteed success. After the best cabaret
Springfield ILL has ever had, I told you that in 5 years you'd
be wearing International gold. I was wrong... it only took 2
years. Congradulations from the Land of Lincoln Barbershop chorus.

VS! Your performance last night was all that the best in barbershop
should be--high energy, perfection of sound, and ability to move
an audience......you did all that and more! I watched from the webcast
and from the moment you opened your mouthes, there was no doubt
that you would take the first place spot. About 4 year's ago I had
the privilege of working a youth festival with you guys in Sarasota,
FL and I remember that moment when hearing you that I thought "these
guys will win someday if they stay together". Thank you for
staying together and thank you for the joy your singing brings to
me and I'm sure so many others! Good luck in this next year and
have fun spreading barbershop throughout our country and the world!

That
Eric Dalbey hasn't changed one bit! I would almost imagine he talks
between every song:-) I loved having him as a student. Even now
as I am a professor at Earlham College, I think he was one of the
most inspirational kids I ever met. I am not surprised he continues
to SERVE HIS LORD in this way. Give my best to ERIC. In

Hi
Guys - I am not sure you will remember me - you met so many people
at Harrogate (I was the whooper in the crowd!)! All I can say is
absolutely fantastic. I have always loved the harmonies in Barbershop
but you are in another class. I bought your CD at Harrogate and
took it home to play to my husband - he is not into Barbershop but
he was stunned! I hope I can listen to you again... it might have
to be a trip to the states! Thanks again for making my first convention
one I shall always remember. Good luck in July - I will be with
you in spirit. Love Shan xx - Shanan Wells - (swells@astonmartinracing.com)

Hey
guys! Love your album! I'm the guy that wanted you to sing Sit Down
You're Rocking The Boat for us in Helsingborg, Sweden 27/5 if you
remember...? However, after listening to your album that I bought,
I am wondering about Scarborough Fair. It says you sang it with
the Gas House Gang? Is that the three remaining guys, or have they
actually got a new baritone? I would be glad for an answer =) -
Simon - (simon.rylander@gmail.com) on Friday, June 2, 2006
I
just received the CD yesterday and it is AWESOME!! Every song is
great! “South Rampart Street Parade”, “Small Fry”,
“Cruella De Vil” are just incredible and “And
Can It Be” is just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing
your gift of music. Continue to keep Christ at the center and he
will continue to bless your quartet. Best of luck to you in Indy!

Hello
there, I have to say that whether or not the judges put you up front
in Indy you are true champions. You sing so well, make it seem so
easy and as that wasn't enough you are also so loving and giving.
Thank you for an outstanding performance and also for sing that
tag with my son. He is really hooked and listened with huge ears
to your cd in the car on our way home even though he was sooo tired
after partying all night. We'll do our best to cheer the whole way
from Stockholm to Indy when you compete. See you around. Love Camilla

Hi
guys, you were absolutely awesome in Sweden and I wish you every
success in Indy (I'll be watching via webcam!) I listened to your
cd with my kids and they said you're even better than the Gas House
Gang! They now think I'm THE coolest Mum 'cause I had lunch with
two of you so thanks for that. I agree with everything Helen said,
you are destined for great things and your kindness and friendliness
will make you memorable to all who meet you. Love Debs xx - Debs

YOU GUYS!! Hey buddies, those words are not enough... but the greatest
heartfelt THANK YOUs to you all for making the effort and taking
the time to visit our convention and giving us so much of yourselves!
I think you actually made the difference to a lot of people here,
and brought so much joy and inspiration! It will be a blast to compete
against you in Indianapolis - even though it feels that you´re
in quite "another league".. See you and good luck, your

Guys,
It was a privilege meeting you in Sweden - your singing was amazing
but it is your kindness and humility that make you truely wonderful
ambassadors (excuse the pun) of this fantastic hobby. Don't lose
those wondwerful qualities even though you are destined for even
greater successes than you have achieved already. I hope our paths
will cross again - at least I can enjoy the CD until then. With
very best wishes for Indy, Helen - tenor 'Finesse' - Helen Owen

I
just wanted to thank you for coming all the way to Sweden and the
SNOBS convention in Helsingborg. I have never heard anything like
your quartet sound and it was compelety awesome! When Tim sang Bring
Him Home (sorry you other guys, I know you were probably there too
on stage but I can't really remember) at the show on Saturday evening,
I cried through the whole song. That was not barbershop, it was
art, going straight into the heart. Good luck in Indy and please
come back again!! Anja, Pearls of the Sound chorus - Anja Lindstedt

My
husband sings with Shannon Express of Potton, England and we heard
you sing at the BABS convention in Harrogate last weekend. We were
just so touched by the wonderful voices you shared with us. The
beauty of what you produce cannot be put into words. We bought your
CD and played it to our children, George aged 12, Amelia aged 11,
and they were simply inspired. Amelia particularly loves Barbershop
singing and desperately wants to join a chorus. We will encourage
her all the way. Thank you so very much for making something so
special, you are truly blessed and we are humbled to hear you. Please
look after yourselves and enjoy your journey. God Bless you, Colleen

Hey
guys! Wow, I can't wait to get a copy of your CD somehow - you have
to send some copies to New Zealand! I'm the tenor from the Musical
Island Boys quartet, and I have to say I really hope you guys rock
it out this year! :) Thanks for the absolutely amazing harmony you
guys produce. I still listen to the 2004 competition recording of
you guys doing South Rampart Street Parade (you know, the one that
left everyone mind-blown!) and it's still just as amazing! So yeah,
it'll be great to see all you guys in Indy in a couple 'months.
Good luck, and congratulations on all your achievements so far.

Finally! I just ordered your CD today! (You should send mine first!

and we'll see you guys at international! We felt pretty good about
our performance, considering two personel changes! David Wright
was judging that weekend, and we met during quartet evaluations.
It was a pretty cool weekend! Oh, and Moxxy (Pioneer quartet) taught
us the "I AM" tag that you taught them. WOW. Where do
you find all these sweet tags, Jonny? Congrats on your prelim scores,
Mike Slamka said your guys's new ballad is a KILLER! Can't wait

I
had the priviledge of hearing you in Algona, IA. also. I can't say
how thrilled my wife and I were to listen to you. You have what
hundreds of thousands of singers, like me, would give anything for.
The blend of voices at perfection. I had tears after a coupld of
songs from the beautiful sound. Other times I shook my head not
believing the incredible sound. There are only a minimal number
of groups that will achieve what you will. You are just in the beginning
of a long long time of bringing tremendous joy to the people of
the world. I can't think you will not win the International Championship
in the future. I am orderin my cd today. Thanks for sending the
email to those of us who signed up. I can't wait to get it and hear
you again. I will drive a long way even with $3+ gas to hear you
again. - Paul Zeka - (pzeka@mchsi.com) on Thursday, April 27, 200
