It was a magical night. Everything seemed to go right and all enjoyed!

Fame and fortune is a goal many entertainers seek. Some would say that a concert on a snowy Valentines Day in a church with 90 people listening isn't the best example of reaching that goal. Perhaps, by some measure that assessment is correct.
However, I for one would suggest that your concert last Sunday was, and is, the kind of entertainment we need more of! In fact, I cannot imagine anything finer than the performance you gave us that snowy evening!
The songs you chose, the stories you told and your performance was, by every measure, spectacular!
Susan, Dana and I thank you so much for a wonderful evening.

Greg and I were at the Winery at Wolf Creek this past Wednesday and we totally enjoyed ourselves! It was also a pleasure being able to see Kim and Sky. We got your 2008 CD (Jim Gill Live Volume Two) and we listened to more of you on the way home as well as the next day delivering meals in Wadsworth.
We've invited several people to join us at some point when we come to hear you again in the future, and we hope it works out.
With gratitude for the pleasure you bring to us-
Jean and Greg LeFevre
Hey, we saw you in West Virginia (at The Wheeling Jamboree)!! Amazing!!! I'm not sure what impressed me more... your songwriting, or the way you presented it. Honestly you are a talent! I wish I had bought all of your CD's instead of just two. Please let me know when you intend to be through here again. It's been a while since I felt so fired up about a performer.

Jim is an amazing talent and a real nice guy, too. This song (Fade to Black) in particular is quite simply the most touching piece of music I've heard. The first I time heard it, it stopped me dead in my tracks and made me think about my life.
G. Fossaceca
Thank you for a wonderful performance in Medina (at Cana Wine & Martini Bar). As always we enjoyed your insightful lyrics and great voice. Your performance was the highlight of our trip to Ohio. Let us know if you need info on clubs in Texas and contact us if you ever make it to Houston!

My name is Amber. My husband and I went to your show tonight (in Findlay). I was the girl you mentioned my ripped jeans and had the whole coffee house wave at us when we left. I was laughing so hard on the way out! You made my night! You have a gift with humor and singing. You sing with passion and I think this is becoming rare these days. Some music has lost it's roots but it seems to me you sing with your soul. When I heard you harmonizing with what you had recorded earlier, I thought that was the coolest thing ever! You did a really sweet job!! I truly did enjoy the show.
Sincerely,
Amber Jo Gurney
P.S. I am completely motivated by your pants and the patchwork that I am going to make a skirt with patchwork all over!! Very styling!! I'll send you a picture when I'm finished!
Thanks again for coming to Clyde last night. It was a wonderful show. I know everyone there enjoyed your music and those that were not there really missed a wonderful experience!
Jim, you are a great singer and a wonderful storyteller . . .that part was really fun.
Hope to see you again someday.
Sincerely

I just thought I would let you know that I really enjoyed your show at Matus Winery last night. “Country Roads” Bill (not Margaritaville Bill) is my brother in law and he had told me you were really good, had a great voice and I should come to the winery to see your show…I normally don’t admit it (especially to him) when he is right but this time he was! I hope to see another show sometime soon as I had to leave before the end last night. Thanks for a fun night of good music and funny stories.
Dawn
Your BAYarts show kicked ass! I didn't want it to end!! Bought a CD --now I wish I had bought more. See you soon!

My husband and I have been fans since the spring of 2007 when we first heard you at Maize Valley Winery in Hartville. Your voice and lyrics touch our hearts. We feel fortunate to be able to enjoy your talents right in our own backyard!! (The Pauli's friends!!)

Just saying “Thanks, again” for the pleasure of hearing you sing your songs this morning at the Farmer’s Market (in Kent). I’m the guy in tears that talked with you about fathers and sons and being fathers and sons --- just as you laid it out in “Welcome Home” this morning. Jim, that’s a well written and well sung song. My wife’s brother, Billy Walsh, like you, has been playing and writing for many years. He lives in the Boston area and has written a couple of songs for and about his father that move us all to memories and tears. Hey, we're Irish and it’s a BIG THEME in our lives! So we know you nailed it with, “You gave me all you could, but I wanted more. Do both sides have to know there’s a fight to have a civil war? You showed me how to work and how to play the game. You gave me the luck of the Irish when you gave me your name.” You said so much with great, deft understatement with this song. Good job. We’ll see you down the road a piece. I look forward to turning Billy on to your CD’s, but especially “Welcome Home” because he, too, is a student of the mysteries and magic of father and son.
Pete Winnen
We went to Matus Winery on a fluke last nite. Meant to have a couple drinks and head home early. Ended up staying all nite. Thanks so much for the entertainment. Love your voice and your overall sound. We plan on seeing you again soon.
Thanks again, Bill
This was by far one of the best performances we have attended (at Vermilion River Reservation). Your heartfelt stories that you incorporated into your music were meaningful, personable and delightful. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Looking forward to making the Matus Winery trip in September.
Patty D
Enjoyed your show at Mill Hollow (Vermilion River Reservation) on Sunday with Doc Dreyfuss!
As a matter of fact, we went on a whim, not knowing who was scheduled. Your 'family stories' (which, by the way, we hold as sacred and as the ultimate goal of many a family event - it's all about the stories) were fun to hear and obviously precious to you as well. My brother and wife were with us and we are all very into music and love the stories told within. Thanks, and we'll make another event soon!
Jean Copley
p.s. ...must confess I spent much time w/spaghetti and the washing machine during my 15 years teaching/dancing and singing in early childhood classrooms!...it's all about the stories!!
You were awesome tonight (at Maize Valley Winery) absolutely awesome...well with the exception of that whole country song thing you did.
Susan was ready to get up off her seat and smack y'all up side the head. Craig was just laughing and Susan was just shaking her head.
I was very please with the song choices and the way you seem to meld some of them together.
As the years go by you just keep getting better.
Dana Ray
Saw your concert with Doc Dreyfuss. Awesome, Jim! We watched via the internet. Couldn't get it on Time Warner Cable. Doc Dreyfuss is so good. He's just the way I had pictured him. Reminds me of the character Mr. Mendelbaum, Jerry Seinfeld's personal trainer his parents hired for him.
You have such a stage presence, Jim. You were born to sing! Don't ever stop.
Luv ya' guy-

I caught your show at Nighttown. I had heard of you but hadn't seen you until this gig. Bottom line, my friend, is you are one cool customer. I've never heard live harmonies sound that good. The fact that you were making them with your own voice and a looper blew me away. You and Doc make quite a combo! That and your lyrics and stories made for one helluva show. Thanks for a great night out!!

I must say, I was impressed with your performance last night (at Nighttown). My daughter really enjoyed the show. She likes a good laugh and loved your humor. I knew you would be entertaining to say the least.
My son-in-law sometimes hangs out with his CWRU law school buddies at the Barking Spider Tavern. They have your schedule and may, with some luck, have the privilege of seeing you perform.
M. Wargo
My friend and I were in tears laughing listening to your story about your sister, your mom and your growing up years (at the concert in Lakewood). Oh my god, that was hilarious!! Your songs are so sweet –I just wanted to say thanks for such a great show. I haven't had that much fun in quite a while. We'll look fo you around town. I see big things in your future!
Tricia
Lakewood
I was in the audience in the Lakewood Public Library auditorium. It was a wonderful show! Your stories were as entertaining as your music. As a parent of children who were not present, I was especially amused by the way you handled the kids in the crowd.
Thanks for sharing your gifts and making my day.
Meg Ostrowski
We caught your closing number at the Spotlight Showcase in Medina. You are funny, mister. No lie. My husband and I just about peed our pants listening to the story about your family. Your voice is awesome!! Can't wait to see a full show! Hope to catch you at Sully's.
Jeanette and Andy
Medina
My wife and I saw you perform at the John Bassette Tribute show at the Beachland Ballroom. We were both extremely impressed and for us, you were the highlight of the evening. Fade to Black is one of the most well written songs I have heard in many, many years. I wish we were in Cleveland so we could see the entire Cox Cable program you recorded!

Just wanted to say Cindy and I loved the show in Geneva at the Sandy Chanty. You were
amazing as always! We love your music and just think the world of you. It’s been too long since we’ve seen you. Thanks for the updated schedule of your upcoming events. We are already making plans to come see you again. The whole crew from Timberlanes wanted to say "hello" to you and they miss you and hope to see you soon. Let us know when any new music comes out, you know we’ll always be interested.
See you soon,
Your Super Fans!
Matt and Cindy from Salem, Ohio
So about tonight at Maize ...OMG, your were great! Tonight was just superb and I couldn't have wanted a better night.
D
Just wanted to tell you how soothing your music is to the soul. My husband and I were glad we decided to make the drive out to the Maize Valley Winery last night. It was truly a relaxing evening. You are so entertaining and the story about your parents really got to me .... thank you for those beautiful words. I really enjoyed your latest CD that I purchased last night. Thank you for taking time to chat with me. Your songs and stories have a special message and place in this world where one can reflect and chill.

Steve and I really enjoyed your show at Sully's Irish Pub last night. You're fantastic! Thanks for the birthday wishes, too!! That was really sweet. I woke up with a slight headache this morning due to drinking too many chocolate martinis! Keep us posted when you'll be there again.
Diana and Steve
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your songs and how you presented them (at the Sharb House Concert in Avon Lake). If you don't already know, your talent is special. Your ability to put down in words what is in your heart is right up there with the other artists we spoke of at your show. I need to get your other CD's because this Live Volume Two is heavy. I can't believe the lyrics in most of the songs and your version of "Oh How I Miss You" is incredible. It was funny listening to your stories.
I will be following your career now like I do others that I enjoy and help spread the word. I am listening to "Welcome Home" and am impressed with how you added Dylan at the end –excellent.
One of the best evenings I have had in awhile.
Enjoy every sandwich,
Steven S.
Another transcendent concert (in Medina), Mr. Gill. It seems you just get better and better. That "Doc" guy is flat out awesome! His viola playing was like icing on the cake. Bought the bootleg "Ain't Life Grand" disc... can't wait to give it a spin!
Your longtime fan,
Richard with the hair!
My friend and I caught your concert tonight in Medina on the square. I've never heard you before but now I'm a convert! We were in the back sitting in the grass with my daughter (she thinks you're funny). I was afriad to say you made me cry with the story about your parents followed by Moon River but I read some other people's notes and I see you've had the same effect on them. 'I was moved' is the best way I can say it. I'm hoping to get a sitter and catch you at Sully's on August 2. 'Til then–

I'm not someone who writes to performers like yourself so this is rare indeed. I heard you at Cain Park last weekend with Doc Dreyfuss. I'm not entirely sure what I want to say. I can't get your music out of my head. That's a good thing! I bought 2 CD's after the show and I've not listened to anything else since then. Your song "Whipping Boy" is a spear of truth that gets me fired up every time I listen to it. I just want to thank you for your work and to say that I'm touched by your talent. I actually cried during "Welcome Home" at the concert. I've never done that before either. I guess it 's a time for firsts! I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Wow! We just stopped for coffee on Saturday night after viewing the Vietnam Memorial Wall and ended up catching your show. You are funny and very talented. My friends and I were the three good looking ladies right in front of the stage. We plan on coming to Maize this Saturday to see you again! My one friend and I each bought a CD. Thanks again for a great evening of laughter and memories (your's brought back many of my own). Hope to see you Saturday at Maize.
Judy K.
I saw you last month at Wolf Creek Winery and enjoyed your show so much I invited a friend of mine to join me this month. She was blown away. You're quite a performer and entertainer. We were having a great time laughing at your comments with audience members. What a riot! Then your songs touch my heart and bring up feelings I forgot I had. The last song you did literally left us in tears. I'll be bringing more friends with me to your next show at the winery. Thanks for a beautiful evening. I can't wait to listen to the CD I bought!!
Your newest fan
Linda
Good to see and hear you again at Wolf Creek good friend. As always we enjoyed the show and made it home lickity split so that I could pack. I am back in Wuxi China this week and then on to Yantai China next week. Hey, your music is sounding even better each time. Stickman was somewhat of a lost cause but then Dangerous Man made up for it. Thanks. Kim and I sang to ourselves all the way through Fade To Black and I can not remember both of us doing that together since the 70s. Far out man! Also enjoyed the two new songs. You performed both really well. Take care and hope to catch up with you again before July 12th.
The Earl of Stone
(A review following the concert on 4/12/08) This was Jim's second performance at Huntington Woods House Concerts. Since his 2006 show, Jim wrote a number of new songs that demonstrated his versatility in terms of subject matter, musical style, and lyrics. Though the songs were mostly different than at his last show here, they were just as enjoyable. The newer songs "Cat's Cradle", "Dreaming Indigo", and "Whipping Boy" were particularly memorable for their heartfelt passion and poignant lyrics. On other songs, Jim displayed his humorous side and also kept us in stitches with his stories and anecdotes. The audience interacted with Jim throughout the concert and, once again, appreciated his quick wit!
Jim's career as a singer, songwriter and guitar player has met with more and more success over the past several years –and it is easy to see why. As with Jim's last show here, members of the audience raved about how much they enjoyed it.

My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing your appearance at Coffee Amici on the 29th of March. This was the second time we had seen you and hope to see you many more times. I bought your CD, Sky, which we both think is great. When you're there in May, we'll have to get another one for our collection. Thanks for the wonderful music and keep it coming!!

It would be impossible for me to say which of your songs I would call my favourite. Every track I have listened to has made me want to keep listening over and over again. Sky is a very soul gripping number and, like all of your songs, very well written and performed. Your vocals are absolutely brilliant.
Sending my respect and very best to you from across the pond!
Stephen Reid

Fade To Black is my absolute favorite!
I've always been a Jim Croce fan and you sound so much like him! I watched a special on him and he, like you, was a family man who wrote and sang about his life stories. I also just had to share the weiner water soup story with my family who all got a kick out of it... especially my two grandsons who laughed all afternoon about it. Don't ever stop telling your stories on stage. They were such fun to hear... and I just gotta say, I loved the (vocal) looper. My mother always sang harmony, and it brought back many happy memories.
Your website is in my Favs and I'm looking forward to attending another concert –probably with a nice glass of wine at the Winery at Wolf Creek. I'll introduce myself when we meet.
Thanks again for the music-
Sandy Barnosky
I'd never heard you before, but had heard about you, and decided to check out your concert at Zion on First Night. My husband and I are glad we did! You have an amazing talent for grabbing an audience and riveting their attention. I seriously have not laughed that hard in years, and I'm not ashamed to say I cried during more than one of your beautiful ballads. Thank you for an unexpected wonderful evening. We will be looking for you in the future and bringing our friends. They will love your show!
Your new fans-
Helen and Ron
I'm the Milwaukee gal. Thanks for another memorable night (at Akron's First Night); Your lyrics, melody, harmony with your looping equipment and stories about your family make the show very personal. As a matter of fact, I've owned the CD 'Sky' since the show at the Barking Spider. Dave bought it for me and gave it to me as a gift. Whenever I listen it makes me smile because I have specific personal memories from the show.
We are both grateful to have met you. Thanks for taking time to chat with me on Monday.
Chris
Just a note to tell you how much I dug your performance at the Barking Spider last night! I enjoyed hearing your stories in between songs about your family etc. I too, grew up in a loud house with sisters! I grew up in Brooklyn, not far from St. John Bosco in Parma Hts.
Cats Cradle's melody stays with me, and I find myself humming it as I go through my day. Love the tone of your voice. Your "looping" is very cool, and really adds so much to your solo performance. I am a new huge fan, and will come to see you again.
Becky Boyd
Quite often, of late, I have wanted to take a couple of moments, send you an email and just tell you how much I really enjoy your music! I have your CD's in the car, and, being a "travel'n man", I have plenty of time to listen. Something about your melodies and lyrics really strike home. Where many songs often seem abstract, yours, more often than not, are about the common life we all live - stories that take the common place, tell the story, but reach beyond; Mark's Harley, Sky, So Fine, etc. all tell your family's story, but so much more as well - it is really good stuff, you know.
I have often said that I like happily sad music - for some reason, it seems you do as well - so I guess it is not surprising that I like your stuff. Keep it up!
Craig
As always, grrreat show at Mastropietro. We do enjoy the story's about the songs. Makes the songs more understandable, not that they're not anyhow. Thanks for the valuable words on writing and playing –you're truly an inspiration. My folks also enjoyed the night out, which is good for them from time to time. Take care Jim and see you again soon.

First and foremost, tonight (at the Folkatorium) was wonderful. From your opening song to the last. You never cease to amaze us with your ability. Lorraine just fell in love with you.

The show at BayArts was my first "porch concert" and you were amazing!
Chris Hansen

Your concert at BAYarts was awesome. My husband and I enjoyed our picnic dinner and loved the relaxing music. You sounded great and I still love those great jeans you wear.... keep up the great singing!
Janice Zweigart
We experienced your show at the Reed House Concert last Saturday. I was blown away with your warmth. I love the fact that you sing to your kids every night. I was very touched by Sky, Hatred and So Fine. My wife looked over at me on all three of those songs –and I was tearing up. I get "big wuss" from her whenever I tear up. Especially when it comes to well written and well played music. I found your concert to be a real gift, both of Matt & Shelli’s forethought and generosity, but moreso from your talent and creativity.
NEAT LOOP MACHINE –you are truly gifted– and I can hardly wait to see you play again.
Matt, Michelle, Corey, Chris & Cassie –5 new fans
Our family really enjoyed meeting you and listening to your music and your stories at Matt & Shelli's house concert in Wadsworth last evening. You put on a great show for all of us, and I am excited to have found another great artist to listen to - and hopefully catch again in person soon! Even though it was just last night, our daughter Allison has asked me 3 times to unwrap the CD's I bought so she can listen to them - have to do that right now!
Thanks again -
Mark, Kristin, Allison & Zachary
I can't get over your performance and your voice. It is rich and deep. Your performances are layered with a lot! ...it's pure enjoyment.
Sara Jean
I LOVE your songs – stories – everything! It was really tough listening to you (at the Barking Spider Tavern) and not playing along!! Your show was excellent – I know you will enjoy continued success so it's kinda silly wishing it for you!
Bruce Locke

Those of us lucky to be at Viking Vineyards this last Sunday could, to the accompaniment of bubbling water, jumping fish and singing birds, sit back on a warm summer evening, close our eyes to the setting sun and listen to you charm us with your music and song. What a treat. Thanks so much!

Hello! Mike and I really enjoyed your music. It was such a great day! It was a real pleasure meeting you! Thank you for sharing your music and humor with us. Mike and I look forward to seeing you again at the winery!!!

Kim and I can not express how much we enjoy your music and personality. This show at our home featuring your musical talent and humor would have well been worth it if it had only been Kim and I, but to have our family, friends and neighbors to share it with made it all the better. We spent a good part of yesterday cleaning up while listening to the CD's that you so graciously provided. These new live recordings will now go on my Ipod and travel the world with me. When I am away from home and a little home sick, it is your songs and music that keep me going. I also want to thank you for the dedication from my Polish friend, Jacek. It made the song, and the concert, very personal for me. To share his feelings and comments, in front of all to hear, shows just how strong his friendship is from so far away. I heard nothing but positive comments. Some were frankly surprised that we were able to provide such a musical talent at our home and asked if this could become an annual event. I am up for it if you are.

Hosts of the Stone House Concert
I am still in a state of disbelief about the magic of the show on Sunday. I am a huge fan of John Bassette and knew of the tribute show back in November when I met Jim Ballard and he told me of it. They originally hoped to have it in January and I've had to wait a couple extra months. It was well worth it!
It was truly an honor to meet you.
Joe Erste
President/Cleveland Entertainment Coalition
You should know that I wanted you on both the CD and at the John Bassette Tribute Concert because I have great respect and admiration for you as an artist, a performer and as a human. I've always said that if I were in any position at all to do some artists some good, I would. So part of my agenda in all this (John would approve) was to bring to light good and talented and intelligent artists (before they die). Memorial tributes are good, but I'm sure you'll agree that its nice to stand on stage and soak it in while you're alive.
Judging by the audience response for your set, I think you will garner more fans.
Take care–
Jim Ballard, Producer/Musician

The concert at the Beachland Ballroom truly was a special event to witness for music lovers like Polly and myself. What a great gathering of songwriters and performers to honor the memory of one of their own. We are so glad to know that you are a part of the inner circle of these talented people. You must feel proud to have been included. It was a special treat to see how spellbound the audience was while you performed!
Barry & Polly
Wow, what a show!
It was great to see a live show of Who's Who in the Cleveland music scene. I was proud for you that you were part of the John Bassette concert.
It was pleasing to have such a big and attentive audience.
Kim's got a great, big, loud whistle and that was especially for you. Fade To Black (one of my favorites), and the John Bassette song with Mike Swan, were just great.
Earl Stone
Hey nice job last night (at the Beachland Ballroom)! Also, that Mike fellow really did a nice solo on "Oh How I Miss You." It was a nice arrangement and seemed very spontaneous and alive, in a cool, unrehearsed kind of way.
Again, nice job
Pete
Saw you at the Bassette benefit, you did a great job! Fade To Black is a fine tune!!
Guitar Guy John
People really enjoyed your songs and your beautiful, warm voice. We really enjoyed having you... great show!

Your musical performance and stories were better than Mary G's act last night at Six Strings in Columbus. I bought all of your CDs that were offered -- and appreciate your being. I have not had the heart to watch The Laramie Project, and especially appreciate your CD.
Looking to cross paths again.
amy
We actually travelled from Pittsburgh to Columbus to see Mary Gauthier at the Six String Concert so your act was a pleasant surprise. I'd like to know if you plan on coming through Pittsburgh to play! Great show, thanks!!
Deb Guerra
Wow! That was a fantastic show at Coffee Amici last night! We all had a great time, thanks for coming to Findlay! Take care and drive safe during your travels.

Thanks again for the (Avon Lake) house concert! We've already listened to your CD several times.
Mike Reighard
It was a great evening (at the Avon Lake House Concert) –just what the doctor ordered!
Amy Boyd-Kirksey
Jim Gill is a singer/songwriter/guitar player/storyteller extraordinaire! His stories about growing up with seven sisters in an Irish Catholic family were hilarious. His songs, based on life experiences, were sensitive, funny, and musically engaging. Jim played six- and twelve-string guitars as well as harmonica. Occasionally he used a looping device so that he could sing both lead and harmony parts. Almost all of the songs were originals, and all of them were outstanding. Jim has a rare talent for engaging the audience, and a house concert is the ideal venue for this.
Numerous audience members expressed interest in seeing more of his performances, and asked to be notified when we have Jim back for another concert. We plan to do just that.

Bill and Kathy Karam
You're incredibly talented! I was glad to finally have met you. I checked out your website this weekend, and all I could think of was "thank goodness I took the time to see him Saturday at the Book & Bean because before you know it, this guy is going to be big and I won't be able to get anywhere near him to meet him." You're extremely gifted in writing, storytelling and entertaining. That's one thing right there. But, then you can sing and play the guitar, too. I can't tell you when I have had a more delightful evening.
I'm sure I'll see you again!
Sandy Neeson
You are one great performer! We always look forward to seeing you.
Larry & Mary Ann Jurca
My husband and I very much enjoyed your show. We loved the stories and the songs; the venue (Book & Bean) was so nice -- casual and comfortable. We didn't have to strain to hear you above a raucous bar crowd. We hope to see you again in January. Thank you for the enjoyable night!
Michelle & Jim Todd
It was great seeing you at the Book & Bean this past Saturday. We are going to see you there again in January.
Gerry Nemeth
On behalf of Lakewood Public Library I want to thank you again for presenting your concert here yesterday. It was a pleasure to meet you. Your show is very entertaining. We had a great turnout and everyone had a lot of fun. I do hope you will come back and entertain us in the future.
Martha Wood
Program Coordinator

Saturday, at the Folkatorium, was our first time to that venue and the third time hearing you sing and play -- so, are we now consider "groupies"?
This particular evening was a real treat because Dana, Greg and David joined us for an intimate evening of wonderful music as we listened to you share your vision of this world with us. It is refreshing that you only sing songs you've written; the diversity of subject matter and the quality of lyric and melody demonstrates your talent. We have never been disappointed!
We look forward to the next time we can share an evening with you knowing that we'll hear great music by a personable entertainer that enjoys sharing a love of friends, family and life through story and song!
Craig and Susan
As always, Saturday’s performance (at the Folkatorium) was outstanding. I can listen to your music and voice over and over and never get tired of hearing either (and your hilarious stories!). I’ve been listening to the live CD and I love it! Looking forward to the next performance.
Kim Stone
You outdid yourself tonight at the Folkatorium, it was VERY good!
Dana
I saw you Saturday night at Scott's Folkatorium. You are AWESOME !!!!!! I can't stop listening to your three cd's. What talent you have and your style of music is heart felt and moving. Not to mention the stories behind your songs. I relate to the Catholic up bringing. I myself am the only boy in the family but I only have 2 older sisters, I can't imagine having 7 sisters.
I am looking forward to the next time I get to be at one of your concerts. I see you making it VERY big. The next time you are in Pittsburgh, I have plenty of family that can show you around, so you don't get lost on all the one way streets. I told my Mom and sisters about your concert and they want to come to listen to you, the next time you are in Pittsburgh.
Well, you definitely have two new fans in Ohio. Greg and I are amazed at your talent and music. I love the song Sky and So Fine.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!!!!
David
Thank you for the incredible show last night! the breadth of your talent and the essence of your voice are truly amazing! I was truly blown away by the simplicity and beauty of what you sing. I love your sound, your lyrics and I am now a fan for life!
I listened to Sky this morning and I must say . . . it was simply sweet to mill around, sip some coffee and enjoy the music! Though all of the songs are incredibly wonderful . . . my favorite is Carry on Cowboy. I love the guitar and your voice on this one! You could melt the snowcaps of the world’s coldest mountain top!
Get Up Eight, The Ride, Sky and Honeydew are other favorites. Hope and Pray made me cry! I enthusiastically wait to hear more!
I grew up listening to Jim Croce and if he could come back and let the world rediscover his voice all over again . . . he would choose you as his vehicle.
I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to hear you again . . . live!

A note to WAPS FM radio host, Tom Ball--
Thanks so much for having Jim Gill on your radio show, Bedtime Snack, tonight. I'm listening from Laramie, Wyoming. I met Jim when I travelled to BW college in conjunction with their production of The Laramie Project. The three songs Jim wrote for the show moved me beyond words. I was skeptical at first, as I'm very protective of the play and its message. I couldn't get over the thought that it would become "The Laramie Project: The Musical" and that was a very dubious idea. I must say, though, that after hearing the songs I knew in my heart they were incredible and perfectly captured the spirit of Wyoming and the play. It does my heart so much good to know that shows like yours exist and can support talented artists like Jim, helping countless people hear his powerful music.
Thanks again from the middle of nowhere,
Jim Osborn
I really enjoyed your concert at Tri-C! It was a great experience for my first live JG&F show. It's always good to hear an artist that has talent, seeing as so many big bands now have no talent or little talent whatsoever. You really opened my eyes to a new type of music. Thank you.
I can't wait to hear more of you in the future, I'll be sure to find some CD's of yours. Guaranteed.
Sharlene
Our staff said your show was one of the best nights of music we've had so far. We were happy to host you and thrilled you want to come back! We'd love to have you again in the coming months.

You've got a killer voice and a great style!
Nancy Lackner

Awesome! You made my night-- wonderful lyrics that almost made me cry (that's a good thing!) Your voice is really amazing!
Cindy from Pittsburgh
You are amazing! I was flattered to be able to open for you. Thanks so much!!
Erin Dragan
Pittsburgh musician
You're really wonderful. I loved your harmonies and effects. The songs, too!
Leslie Berry
South Carolina musician
Please come play in the south! They will love you!!
Lauren Lapointe
Savannah, GA musician
I truly enjoyed your set. You have a great passion for music and it comes through with every note that you sing and strum. It's always nice when a truly talented person graces the Lizard Lounge here in Cambridge.
Ben Willmott
Boston musician
I saw you play in the Kliest Center for the Arts at Baldwin-Wallace on April 2nd. I just wanted to say I thought your show was really good. I really enjoyed your music and stage presence. Not to mention how you handled that drinking story with your mom in the audience. I searched your website for that one song about being a second fiddle in a one man band, but I missed the title and couldn't find it, that one was my favorite.
Brad Sonenstein
An open letter to folk music lovers everywhere–
The talent of singer/songwriter Jim Gill is as rich as any I've encountered in over 50 years of music appreciation. His bandmates Ted and J are equally as talented, and as a group will make you wonder why you've not heard of them before.
Any folkies in the Ohio area would be delighted by attending a concert featuring Jim Gill & Friends or Jim Gill solo.
Louis Pastor
Poet and music aficionado
Thanks for the cd of music. It is most appreciated. Good luck with your music-making!
John Gorka
Just wanted to say thanks again for the Laramie CD and your wonderful music. I wasn't sure about it before hearing the songs, but It added a great deal to the show, and captured the spirit of Wyoming and the play VERY well. I've been listening to the CD on repeat in the car, and have been having a non-stop sing-a-long. Hope all is well in Ohio!
Jim Osburn (Friend of Matthew Shepard)
Laramie, Wyoming
I wanted to personally thank you for using your gift of music for this production of Laramie. You are a gift to us all. It is easy to see why people are so taken with your performance. I think the music is so unforgettable --we as a cast continue to hum and sing the songs throughout our day. I do look forward to hearing you sing again.
Sincerely, Linda Schneider
I really can't tell you how much we enjoyed the play (The Laramie Project). The play itself was wonderful, but the songs will mean so much more now. Truthfully, Barry and I really didn't know what to expect. After just a few minutes we realized what it was all about, and the memories of that day came flooding back.
Polly
YOU DO IT BEST!!! Your new CD from The Laramie Project is just phenomenal. Sitting in our own home, we were able to listen to it more intently. Your new songs are so poignant and moving. Your songwriting ability is over the top. I was so disappointed that I had to miss the presentation at BW, but having the CD makes up for it!
Maddy
You were terrific. Performances like yours will do the First Fridays series well. A great show is the best press. I was very happy to bring your music home to my wife, who loves it as much as I do.
If you'd like a quote, here's the one I gave the press...
"Jim Gill took the stage and lovingly led our audience through the highs and lows of life. His guitar work, sensitive and clever lyrics, and warm stage presence embraced the crowd. We truly felt like we were part of an experience...a relaxed, colorful, beautiful journey, rather than mere patrons at a concert."
Best,
Michael Strong
Executive Director
The Ritz Theatre
PS - Every kid should be so lucky to have a song like "Sky" written for them.
So good to see and hear you again at The Ritz Theatre. Made us remember all our good times on Kelleys Island. You are a natural on the island scene. But just as good on the mainland. Thanks for keeping us informed about your schedule. We'll track you down whenever we can. The friends that attended with us (the Larsens) also enjoyed your excellent performance.
Keep the world going round with your music and thoughtful lyrics.
Bonnie and Jim Boroff
It was great to finally get the chance to relax and see you play a whole set (at Sonnet's). I really enjoyed the evening. Listening to your songs was an inspiration to me to keep on trying and writing. Ok, it was bad enough that I cried on a couple numbers, but since then, I haven't been able to get "SKY" out of my head, I guess that's the sign of a good tune, what an awesome song!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Glenn Peterhansen
(Performer)
Good to see you perform this past weekend at the Riverfront Coffee Mill. What's nice to see (and almost always a yardstick for me) is how well songs stand on their own without a band. Yours do! I've always liked the "I was just looking fastball, and got thrown a curve" line. Wish I could work some baseball into my lyrics.
Jim Ballard
Producer, Skylyne Studio
Thanks so much for an awesome show on Saturday at Maize Valley! It was the best birthday I've had since I was about 12 and my mom made me a castle birthday cake! We had a blast. The newbies (my mom Betty, son Adam and his girlfriend Jen, cousin Mona, and her boyfriend Rod, Sara and Mike along with repeat fans Becky and Bill) said they enjoyed your show. Our 15-year old, Sara (who is one tough cookie), wouldn't admit she liked the show (it just wouldn't be cool to like something your MOM likes) but I saw her watching you playing the 12-string! She plays guitar and has a 12-string. Her friend, Mike, said he liked the show and liked the Mod Squad reference.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your effort and all the energy you put into your show. I think my rock-solid hubby even got a little sentimental when you played So Fine. It was a birthday I will long remember. We'll see you soon!
Kim Stone
It's Matt Reed of the Reed Clan of Wadsworth! Just wanted to drop you line to express our thanks for the great music we have listened to over the past couple of weeks. I bought both the cd's you had for sale and they have not left my cd player. I have to also thank you personally for the inspiration to start writing a few songs of my own. I pick on the guitar a little myself so who knows! The night we saw you at Sonnet's in Wadsworth I asked if you had a favorite song and you said they all were. Well, I have listened to them all and while they are all great, Sky has been played several times a day in our house, if that tells you anything. I wish I could find the tab music for it. My wife, Shelli, says I should become a roadie! Anyway, please keep doing what your doing and we will make it a point to see you play when you're close to home.
Matt, Shelli, Kailie, Gabriel, Nathan
I am listening to your AWESOME TUNES and remembering the fun we all had last night at Sonnet's.
You are truly an ARTIST! I am sure your family is proud of you. You also strike me as a good person and that is so very important in this life.
Denise
My wife and I saw and heard you and your friends at Maize Valley Winery on Saturday night for the first time and we really enjoyed your music. I was the guy who first purchased your CD's. We now have played them several times at home as we relaxed and as we worked around the house and again I want to applaud you on your creativity and talent. Thank you and I look forward to
your next CD and to our next chance for a night out with your music.
Earl Stone
My wife and I throughly enjoyed listening to you (at Tri-C) and we are definitely going to attend one of the concerts that you are scheduled to perform at the winery. Your style of song writing reminds me of Harry Chapin's, because he also wrote about the people he met and his life experiences.
I don't remember the title of the song, but the one about what your friend found written in her journal by her late mother really hit home! I lost my mom in February and she left me her stories and thoughts on cassette tape! Needless to say, that song brought a lot of emotions.
Thanks, Doug Stoessner
I thoroughly enjoyed your music the other night (at Cain Park). ItÕs the first time I've heard you play. Not only was your music wonderful, but you are delightful when talking and telling stories to the audience. Without a doubt, I will look for where you are playing in the near future and will see you then!
Nancy Basso
Just a note to keep in touch! Your music fills the walls of this house often! I hope all is well with you and yours. Hey... Millersburg needs a music fix! When ya'll comin' back? I know... you've gotten so high on the ladder of success, that you've already forgotten us "little people" (grins). Please keep sending your schedule for upcoming concerts. One day... I'll find a way to travel to hear your music and "touch my heartstrings" one more time!Give your wife, and the guys in the band my best.
Till next time...
Mimi Fleming
You were, as usual, terrific, though much too brief. Gorka was very entertaining. I don't really know his music well, a gap in my education I certainly need to remedy.
Peter
For a truly professional act you have the ability to make members of the audience feel they are being played to in their own living rooms. You make it feel that personal and that special.
We can always count on a full house when Jim Gill & Friends are on the schedule.
You and your group are one of the most talented acts we are lucky enough to have playing for us at Riverfront Coffee Mill.
Kelly Steele
Venue Owner
You & your bunch are a totally POSITIVE experience & it was truly one of the best shows I've ever had here. The whole thing was most enjoyable. Thanx again. I look forward to having you back!
Scott T.
Owner, Scott's Folkatorium
Not only I, but my Cousin as well enjoyed the night very much. Even with a cold, your voice was still very pleasant to listen to and your song writing talent helped bring some closeness within the heart.
It was agreed that we would start passing the word about the Folkatorium and plan on going back. Hope to see you again, if not there, one of the local spots may work just as well.
Dana Ray
Dropping you an e-mail to let you know that the CD of your Sonnet's show arrived at my home safe and sound. Jim, my husband and I have listened to the CD many times and can't get enough of it. I thought I had a couple of favorites, but I can honestly say that I love them all. Your sound equipment does an astounding job. When we play the CD, it sounds as if you are right in our living room. I can hardly wait until you, Ted and J are back at Sonnet's --I believe toward the end of March sometime. I want you to know that just thinking about seeing Jim Gill & Friends again kept me from getting depressed during my hospital stay. There were days when I was very scared, but I said to myself --"I gotta get out of here so I can see Jim Gill again."
Looking forward to your next show at Sonnet's. And I can't thank you enough for the CD. It will give me many, many years of listening pleasure.
A very grateful fan, Maddy
Norton, Ohio
I just wanted to write and let you know how VERY much we enjoyed the band ! It was nice to hear some new selections also! I was so tickled to walk out of the coffee shop last night with your new CD!
My family thoroughly enjoyed the music!!!
Jonathan and Jerry got the biggest kick out of the attention you gave them last night! I haven't laughed that hard in a loooooong time!
It was especially nice to meet your family! Your wife seems so very sweet and your little girl "Sky" is just precious! I almost cried when she went up on stage to hug her Daddy!
I hope all goes well for you and your band! Take good care and please stay in touch. I have to go now because I have a new CD to listen to!
Mimi Fleming
Millersburg, Ohio
I enjoyed playing with you guys up at Mikes Place.
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your new CD SKY. I'm getting the other band members into it along with my kids. When I hear the song SKY... it brings back such good memories!!! The other songs are just as good, too!!
You are very gifted and talented, and your voice is a welcome relief for that long drive home after a long day at work!! Hopefully our bands will hook up again soon!
I will follow your schedule and try to get to a local venue.
Steve Urbon
(Percussionist-drummer for AMERICAN STEAL)
The Thrill of the Gill is now an ever present influence to my mind set as the rhymes and reasons of Sky play on in my head. Thanks for the wake up and listen to the world around me call and the smile that goes with it again. Inspiration. I hope all is well in your world Jim and nice to have heard you the other night and I am anxious for new tunes having heard something at the Spider not on record for my listening pleasure. And my wife was there with me and loved the noise you make which I could not have figured as she is not out in it at all anymore. Cat Stevens was her comparison for you which will send you somewhere I am not sure of.
Timothy Tudor Ogan
It is the ultimate compliment to you, believe me, that it was my wife's idea to come and see you in Wadsworth last night --as she is very selective about live music! Seriously, Carol was part of the focus survey for the "Friends" TV show pilot, and she predicted it would become a number one television hit, as it did. Well, after hearing you, she predicts youÕll become a star! I was so inspired from your show, that I went home and wrote a poem. Honest to God.
Ken
(Guitarist with AlterEgo)
I just wanted to let you know how glad I am that I happened to come across the advertisement about your show in The Trading Post. You put on a wonderfully entertaining performance. I really think I could turn into a Groupie of yours. Looking forward to your next engagement at Sonnett's. What a nice little place. It has the feel of a coffeehouse in New England.
Madalyn
My friends and I love your band. I love the music. Your are extremely talented and instead of stupid prattle you actually have something to say. I respect anyone who does not believe in separating people because of differences and who promotes peace and love. I think everyone should give people more of a chance. I do the stereotype thing but I try to remember that when you give someone a chance they will have more in common with you than you may have thought they could. Your songs actually make people think about things. Some of them make you serious and some of them make you joyous. The best thing about music is that fact that it brings out emotion and yours truly does that. Your band members rock too. My friends go crazy when they do their solos. You have a great combo going on.
Libby
What a dandy CD this is! Very impressive and, more importantly, excessively entertaining. Well done lads!
Honest appraisal: All the new tracks - A-OK. Love the harmonica on "Honeydew" (thank you Tony P. - see, someone reads the liner notes!), but miss J's percussion variations between stanzas. Six of one, half a dozen of the other I suppose - don't know if including both would have worked any better. "Crazytown" and "Hammer Of A Hurricane" rock! Had my Bic lighter raised the whole time! Arrangements on "Sky", "You Don't Know Me Now"' and "I'll See You In Dreams" are right on the money. Sequencing of songs on the CD works very well, the sound, mood, etc. of each song enhanced by the lead-in tune and follow up number. The art design for the album cover, back, and interior is stunning; where did you get the front cover photo? One criticism: only 12 songs!
Someone, maybe even you, told me you are considering a live CD next. Could not be happier to hear it. As wonderful as SKY is, Jim Gill and Friends is one of those rare musical acts whose live performances provide the essential musical experience for that band.
Keep on keepin' on!
ajb
My brother, also named Jim Gill, directed me to your site. He said you 2 have talked. I like your music! You have a lot of Celtic style as well as American folk 60's style plus an alluring, deep voice. Great talent! Do ya think maybe we could be related? Keep up such wonderful work.
Maryjo
I wanted to let you know that on my way back from Japan I sat next to Tiger Okoshi. He is a professional Jazz trumpeter and is a professor of music at Berklee College of Music. I had him listen to your album Sky from my Ipod. He liked it and told me to tell you so!
Earl Stone
How goes it? I really enjoyed your concert at CCC. You continue to amaze me with your vast talent and showmanship.
Smitty
I heard glowing reports from my staff about your show....well done!! I would love to have you back next June for another performance!
Bob Ellis
Western Campus Theater Coordinator
Cuyahoga Community College
Hey, I got the CD in the mail. I was gone all day yesterday, so I only got to listen to the first 5 songs, but...WOW! I love the way "Sky" sounds -- you did a great job of arranging and mixing that! I love "All Is Made To Fade" -- and I love singing along to it, too. I fell in love with your voice on "You Don't Know Me Now" -- it really had a ton of emotion in it as well as sounding gorgeous. Reminded me a little of Justin Hayward from the Moody Blues.
Connie
Sorry its taken me so long to reply especially since my response to SKY was nothing but positive... Connie sounded the best I've ever heard her and while I liked your first CD - Bob gave me that one as well, the instrumental additions are great. Great blends, nice variety of sounds, still with an eye on the 'copy sells' kind of lyric! It feels like you've found some talent that compliments yours and respects what you've done so far. Your lyrics - What a storyteller you still are... and I loved all the liner notes...so proud and so happy for you.
The CD is currently circulating around our department... helping to augment your fan base.
Anne
I really want to tell you that I think your performances and your pieces are awesome. I bought the new CD (yeah, it's done) and played it Sunday.
I played it on my drive to work Monday and listened to the words. You are truly an artist and I'm just not saying that. The whole collection is awesome.
Your music is the best.
Judy
and i thought MY brain was a popcorn popper!! deb and i really enjoyed the show you and the lads put on. i only recently met ted, but i think he's a great guy. you have a good stage presence and seem very comfortable with the mike. hard to believe you were once shy. anyway, just thought i'd get back to you. deb and i plan on making a trip to the island to see you guys this summer.
mike bunn
(guitarist with Thursday Night)
I am sitting hear doing my daily job hunt routine and I am listening to So Fine. I just had to drop you a note to say that Lucky Boy is truly a great song. If you could get this in the hands of Tom Russel or Joan Baez, it might be a real break. At any rate, thanks for giving me such great music to work to.
Bill Osburn
Enyoyed last nights performance!! We love to hear you perform. Gosh, what a lot of talent you have. We look forward to seeing and hearing you next time.
fans,
Carolyn and Dick
I can't tell you the pleasant surprise it is to have your cds running without stop since I put them into my car cd player which had been empty without inspiration for quite some time until these disks filled my ears with thoughts and feelings long left behind. I feel your feelings and share your points of view quite magically as I listen, and yes, learn the lyrics to one song after another. The vision of the stories of life you have penned together give me perspective like so few songs today can do. I am not sure if you have heard yourself coined as the Harry Chapin of the new millennium, or the new Chris Isaak, or a born again Jim Croce, but if not, let those comparisons be on target and let you stand as musically unique today and socially significant as they have been before you. You have earned the right to be held in the same light by virtue of your style, character and real talent.
Tim
Good to hear from you. We also have a few fond memories (yes we do remember a little) of the island and KIB. In fact, if I hadn't spent so much on beer and fuel this year I could afford the BF clinic instead of this dump I have been committed to. We look forward to seeing you again next year and to the release of your new CDs.
Bill Osburn
The only time I got to hear you play reminded me of Glass Harp, updated of course, but wow! How great it was to see and hear such talent.
J Johnson
Thanks for the amusing email! You're right, there are great people at that pub and I can't wait till next summer. In the meantime, where will you guys be playing? Peter and I would love to come out and see you again.
Marina
We all enjoyed your music tremendously! I can't wait to hear the new stuff next summer! Tell everyone in the band including spouses I said Hi!!!
Lisa
I really only had a chance to over analyze the first song on the CD so far this morning on the way to work. The verdict - it's a thing of absolute beauty, a piece of art, a love song of epic proportions...I can't say enough good things about it. It choked me up.
You have a real talent for songwriting.
Seriously - that first song is one of my favorite songs I've ever heard.
See ya next time you're at the Barking Spider.
Thanks again for the good tunes.
Dale
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart for all the effort that you put into your playing here at the Kelleys Island Brewery. Your music was not only a great business perk this summer, but it also added an element to our Brewery that was needed. It was a pleasure to get to know you all, watch you perform and entertain new and returning customers week after week.
We spoke of the risks that bar owners take when they bring the live entertainment in. My vision was only accentuated by your presence here. You worked hard to bring people into our place and to keep them there. Our numbers showed that consistently, and for that you will be paid in beer, forever. (Just kidding)
Your music matched our flair for the quality product. I don't know how else to say it. Your entertainment style is original, funny, a joy to the ears, and I feel blessed to have had a band of your calliber at my establishment. I know you will go far.
Patti, Doug Jay and The Crew
I really enjoyed the weekend at Kelley's. We are so glad that we came. I was so touched by the song that you wrote. I had no idea that you had me in mind when you were writing that new song and when I heard my name I was joyously surprised. I have been trying all day to put into words how I felt but realized that it is a rare joy indeed that can't be put into words adequately. It is a feeling that will forever be a part of me. I love you.
KT
I just sent the following message to Matt Watroba at WDET FM in Michigan.
Bill Osburn
Matt,
I spent some time on the Lake Erie islands this summer and discovered a great trio playing outdoors at the Kelleys Island Brewery. They even sounded good when I was sober. I suggested that Jim Gill send you some of his music. I believe he has done that. I hope you like it and that you will give him some air play. I suggest listening to "Bracero", a Phil Ochs tune and "Dreaming Indigo" an original tune written by Jim. My daughter's favorite is "Angels".
Keep playing the great music. You are essential to our culture and roots music.
Bill
It was nice to see you and everyone else last night. Your personality has a humorous, witty side and a serious, down-to-business side and both sides are well-represented in your songwriting. I know that I can easily tell when you're serious and when you're joking and it's always been that way. So don't worry about people leaving there with mixed emotions. Everyone laughed, clapped and enjoyed the music.
I just love "Get up Eight." What a great song, but then again all of your songs are great. I've said this before, but the stories in your songs are so relatable. Keep up the good work!!
Jamie
It was great to see you and the guys play again (even without the warm sun, cool grass and beer!). Thanks for welcoming us. I was disappointed to walk in towards the end of So Fine - it's one of my favorites. I was going to request it again towards the end, as I'm sure your wife wouldn't have minded being serenaded twice in one night, but I got the impression the manager wanted to clear the place. Oh well. I have the CD to hold me over until you're at Coventry, and I'm glad the guy was gracious enough to have you play there. It is a nice venue, you were right. The sound was spectacular.
It was also a nice treat to see your wife and Sky there - it makes your songs and stories even more meaningful. Peter and I were entertained by your political comments. Hey, we might as well be opinionated! I particularly agreed with your stance on the immigrants - I'm one myself, you know (Argentina), and I was just in Mexico when Bush proposed his new plan. There was a lot of ridicule and opposition to it, of course. Anyway, Bracero is a great song too - they all are. Really!
So we're looking forward to the new CD!
Marina
You and the band were the class of the party. You sounded fabulous, and the energy level never flagged, which means everything at a party. Got to run, but I wanted to tell you that you guys were great!
Pat F.
My fiancé Ronni and I enjoyed your music. We had heard about you through one of my friends, Jamie Carr. We invited our friend Shawn from church and got away from wedding planning for a while. I particularly liked the song "Sky". I look forward to seeing you again sometime.
Kevin Schaack
Great time last night. Thanks! You have 2 more to add to your list of groupies.... Kim & Ed Are you making any more of the live CD? I'd like to get one for Kim & Ed. They bought the So Fine one.
Tell the guys we said Thanks and we needed our "fix" of Jim Gill & Friends!
Penny
You're a dream. Isn't it refreshing that we enjoy "live" rather than TV. I'm sure you will agree - from one smart party chooser to another. We had an absolutely wonderful time at your show. We intended to stay for maybe an hour - I had been up really late the night before getting ready for a committee meeting for a dog walk and I was exhausted. Your music soothed everything. You have true blue fans in Wooster.
I love SKY, almost as much as SO FINE. You are very talented.
You are twisted, demented and so fun to be around!
