*** Thanks for maintaining this site. I have used it successfully on a number of occasions--and have failed until now to thank you. stlmusic.com has become the first and last frantic stop for St. Louis musicians whose drummer quit because of that new stockbroker dayjob, whose singer has run away with your girlfriend, or to find a pedal steel player for your hillbilly-emo side project. Seriously, your site has probably done more than you know to hook up musicians in the area. This is a great service to the St. Louis community of musicians. Is there any way we can help you?

*** This is an awsome site you put together and just wanted to say thank you. I happened to find this by accident about a year ago and now that I am out looking for a new band, I check it every day looking for updates. On behalf of St.Louis I'd like to say thank you. Ron Stohl

*** Hello, I can't think you enough for this site! I have been playing music for 10 years and could never find a decent band to be apart of. Because of your site (Directly and indirectly) I am in 2 great bands. One's an origional band and one's a cover band. I finally am doing what I have always wanted to do, and I owe the hookup to you. Thanks! Mark

*** Hi - I am a 44 year-old musician that has played with many bands/musicians since my teens in the St. Louis area. I personally want to thank you for this service that you have provided for musicians such as myself through the years. We found our last lead guitar player through stlmusic.com from an ad he placed on your site over 2 years ago. He was just what our band was looking for. Unfortunately, he is moving back to NY in a few months, and again, I will turn to your website to hopefully locate another musician to fill his shoes (which will not be an easy task!). If it had not been for your website 2 years ago, I would have never had the opportunity to meet such a brilliant musician who I now have the privilege of calling one of my best friends. I know you get e-mails from a lot of angry "youngsters" that don't know how hard it was years ago to look for musicians, but this ol' lady really appreciates your hard work and dedication to this website. Hope you have had a great holiday. Peace. Thanks again! Deena Jenner

*** This drumkit has been sold, but I've consistently gotten good results from your site. I sincerely believe that this website is an invaluable asset to the musicians of St. Louis. Thank you and keep up the good work, Mike!

*** I just wanted to thank you sincerely for the tremendous service you are providing to the St Louis area music community. Your site is excellent ! Thank you, Russ - Belleville,IL

*** Remove add, found our drummer. thanks for the help again. Your website is largely responsible for our band forming and we reference a ton of musicians to this site. Thanks again for the great work.

*** I just wanted to send you a thank you note and compliment you on a well done web site which is also such a valuable service! We found our drummer through Stlmusic.com (he's fantastic!) and are now looking for a bass player. I know you probably get more complaint mail than thank you mail (as does any public person) so I wanted to send some cheer. Also, as a web developer myself, I know this kind of thing can be very time consuming. So again I thank you for taking the time to provide this service. Have a carefree weekend! --CrazyGirl Blue StickBoy & CrazyGirl

*** Sorry to use your "questions" link for a comment, but did not see any other way to thank you for such a great service. I am in the process of updating my ad to looking for a vocalist, from lookin for a drummer, since last night, after many responses, and auditions, we found a great guy, ( and he's a good drummer also!) Anyway, thanks again, Bill Jasper

*** Michael, You have been doing a fine job running the stlmusic site on the web. I really use it a lot and will continue to do so in the future. I have met plenty of guys to jam with and have made a few friends in doing so. I have also met friends from my past that I had lost track of over the years. Its a small world. Thanks so much for that.

*** Yes your site helped land paying gigs with a very talented rock/pop group. That's money in the bank! Absolutely THE BEST site to find regional musicians. Keep up your good work and Come watch my new band, The Pop Weasles, Thanks for a great service!!!! Chuck

*** I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the service. I was so disappointed to read your remarks about issues you've had with people placing ads in the past. I have played guitar in both full and part time projects but I've been out of the scene for a few years. Your service made it so much easier to hook up with the right people. I've been playing with a working band found on your site since April. Once again, thanks and keep up the good work! Keith Snyder

*** I have no question, just an expression of thanks to you for providing a service to our community. I have been playing music in the area for over 36 years and there are times when I can use something from every heading you offer. I have changed bands myself, I have found musicians and I have hooked other musicians up to your service and they have gotten results. Anytime I have ,or anyone else I know has to make a connection this is the first place I go and the first place I recommend and it hasn't failed us yet. Thanks again for all you do and I hope to meet you sometime to thank you in person. Thoroughly appreciative, Mike Tate

*** Mike, Thanks a lot, Rick the guitar player in Skyline who I fill in for every now and then recommended me to this site. I found a bass player who recommended we jam with a Keyboard player he knew, within 1 week we learned 30 songs and played 2 gigs.,unforntaly that line up did not work out, there is always a silver lining through that Bass player I found another guitar player who knew another Bass player and we have been gigin since,unfornatly now we need to find another drummer, but I am sure this sight will make the transition less painful than it usally is!! I will recommend this site to any musician I meet, and will continue to use it. Thanks again

*** I just wanted to say thanks for running such a great site (for free)! I check it all the time, and find it very useful in finding musicians to play with or hire. Thanks thanks thanks!! ~Sarah

*** Just wanted to send a message to say thanks for helping out the local music scene here in Stl. I am always visiting this site and I refer all my friends here whenever they are in need of something musically. Once again, thanks. Keep music alive.Daniel

*** Hi Mike, Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for a great web sight!!! I can't begin to imagine the countless hours and typing that you put in on this. I am a Bass player looking for a band, and I know that I will find what I want through this sight. I, as well as the The St. Louis music community owe you a lot! It's mind boggling to think of how many people you have hooked up in bands and how many bands have found the person they were looking for. You should be very proud of what you are doing. Once again Thank You!!! Respectfully, Dan C. Raftery

*** Hey! I wanted to take a few minutes and send you a note to tell you how much I appreciate your site. I think it's classy, well-done, and provides a much needed service for us local musicians. Doing something like this for free and out of the goodness of your heart is pretty cool and I wanted to let you know it is appreciated. In a town that seems to be closing its doors to musicians (just look at some of the recent press in the Post) it's nice to see that someone still cares about the music scene around here. Take care and thanks from myself and my band Silent Page. Sincerely, Carson West

*** Sorry to use your "questions" link for a comment, but did not see any other way to thank you for such a great service. I am in the process of updating my ad to looking for a vocalist, from lookin for a drummer, since last night, after many responses, and auditions, we found a great guy, ( and he's a good drummer also!) Anyway, thanks again, Bill Jasper

*** I just posted an ad for selling my drums for the first time. I just wanted to thank you for this service. I'm in the marketing services/ad business, and I know how much time it takes to maintain these sites. So... Thanks a million, you are appreciated. Sincerely, Rick Bayers

*** Just wanted to drop a line saying thank you for tirelessly posting my ads over the past year. I was looking for one of a kind musicians (goofy and talented!) and would never have found them without your service. I also used guitar.com to find the drummer but found sax and bass from your site. I can't believe this is a free service! You should start selling ad space, I can't believe you haven't done so already. Anyway, I plan to keep using your service but this time in the Bands Availabe section! Again, thanks a million.

*** I found a wonderful addition to my band with the ad I had posted here and no longer need to run it. Hopefully I won't need to run an ad with you again for a while :o) I have always gotten a great deal of good out of your site and I am really glad you provide this service for local musicians.

*** Hey there. I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that your site is great. You probably knew that already. I've hooked up with several musicians through the musician ads and really really appreciate what you're doing for the local musician community. Keep up the awesome job and again, thank you. Aaron Gore MCP

*** Dear Michael, My name is Blaine and I am a guitarist/songwriter. I am a native St. Louisan and I only recently discovered your website. I just wanted to write and tell you that I believe that you are providing an invaluable service to the St. Louis music community. Trying to put a band together in this town can be a disheartening experience, so its comforting to know that there are a few people out there who genuinely care about the future of St. Louis music, who believe in its potential and who are willing to invest the time and energy into promoting it, as well as make the road a little bit smoother for the rest of us. For all of this, a very sincere and heartfelt "thank-you". You are doing a great and very cool thing, and I'm quite sure that most of the people who read or use your service are aware of this, whether or not you get that feedback. For what its worth to you, I appreciate your trouble. Again, thank you and keep up the good work! Most Sincerely, Blaine Parada

*** Thanks Michael for your hard work, we as bands sure appreciate it! Theresa Savannah Floor

*** hey man... I've sent you this email before, but I just thought I'd do it again. I hope everyone who uses this site thanks you as you should be thanked. Your site has been invaluable to me. It's hard enough to find musicians in this town, let alone good ones. So thanks, and I hope you keep it up! peace, Joe Hall

*** Hey hows it going. Just wanted to say This site Rules and a big Thanks to ya for keeping it going. The bands for hire page is very cool. We are getting possible gigs from it and are returning the favor by making a links page on our site back to you.

*** Mike, your service is absolutely excellent and we now have the potential to be a much better band as a result. Thanks for what you are doing here.

*** Just wanted to email to let you know how much I appreciate your website. I have listed many "muscians wanted", "available", and "for sale" ads with continuing success and satisfaction. I am pleased there is someone in the St. Louis/Metro East are with a "decent" musicians website. Thanks again.

*** thank you for providing this service to the musicians of the area. I have viewed the ads many times... but this is the first time that I have placed one. It is a cool thing that you are doing here. Thank you. Jon Valley.

*** thank you so very much for your help! your efforts alone have shown that yes, there are musicians out there actually willing to make an effort. you rock. thanks for the detective work! lemme know when i can return the favor brian bayley

*** We would like to thank STLmusic.com for helping us find a kick-a** bass player!! I recieved many contacts from your site. I know where to go if we need help in the future. Thanks again! Eric

*** The items sold as soon as the ad posted!

*** I found a great drummer via my ad.

*** I just want to say thanks for being so patient and posting my ads all the time. You've made a big difference as all the musicians in the band so far came from your service. It ROCKS!

*** Mike, Just wanted to say thanks for starting up this web page. The response I recieved from the ad was great. Will spread the word. Thanks Again, Dave

*** by the way, this is a GREAT service, and I appreciate everything you are doing with this

*** I just wanted to say thank you for the obvious effort you put into maintaining this site. Because of your classifieds, I have been placed in contact with a group of musicians that I am very excited about working with. I probably would never have met them otherwise.

*** Found a great band!!!!

*** We found a drummer,but are still in search of a keyboardist. I've already posted a new ad for a keyboardist. The service was of great help.

*** Thanks for this great site. I know of a lot of people that use it. I found my drummer through this site, and made a connection with the house drummer at Off Broadway from this site, which has led to the battle of the bands contest.

*** No question, just wanted to say it's about time someone did something like this. I really appreciate it and will put a link in our Funboat Willie web site if that's ok with you. Kevin Monzyk

*** Hello Just wanted to write and say thanks for your great, awesome, totally helpful website. The fact that you do this kind of thing for free blows me away. Anyway, as a St. Louis musician, I am thankful for all the opportunities to buy, sell trade and find musicians. It sure beats the hell out of music store bulletin boards. Peace Dave S

*** and thanx for the great site!! my friends introduced me to it! keep up the good work!! this is much better than posting some flyer at a music store!! ken mathews

*** I am auditioning for a good group this coming week, thanks to your great service. I'll keep you posted.

*** Hello, I just wanted to drop a line and thank you for your time and hard work with this web site. I am really grateful to you for helping me find our new bass player. I have had several responses from the ad, some good and bad. It is a great networking tool, and I just wanted to say thanks.

*** You really are providing the St. Louis music community with a great service and I am telling any online musicians I know, about it. Good job.

*** SOLD to a buyer visiting St. Louis Music Classifieds Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*** Thanks for the service - I think this is great! I just happened to stumble upon your site while exploring the web.

*** We found a great singer thanks to your site! Thank you again!

*** Found a band on my own but had many great replies, from as far as Seattle, Wa. No sh*t. Stay on this site your band is waiting for you somewhere, and don't forget to spread the word about stlmusic.com. Thanks again. Ryan

*** I think that it is great that you do this for st. louis, keep up the good work!

*** I think that this is very cool thing you are doing here and appreciate every bit of it. Keep rocking or rolling or jazzing or what ever you do. A Grateful St. Louis dude, Bill Rogers

*** Mr. Adams I posted my ( Vocalist Needed) ad on 2/6/01 and have received 6 replies all of which have great possibilities for completing our band. Thank you very much for this service. Thanks again for your service. Carl

*** I just wanted to tell you thanks again for the service, because I noticed on your FAQ how you say you get little thanks for doing this. That is terrible! You must get messages from some real morons, no doubt, who don't follow the directions and don't acknowledge that you are doing this for free, and you certainly don't 'have' to do it at all! That's lousy. Anyway, allow me to tell you that I appreciate you and think that the site and the service are great! Best Regards, Laura

*** SOLD!! thank you very much for your site! it saves alot of time with checking people and bands out! keep up the good work!!

*** I am removing the ad because I found a GREAT gig because of it and no longer need to advertise! Thank you so much for this service; we (local musicians) are deeply indebted!

*** Because of the ad, we were able to join a classic band who were losing their bass and lead guitar players, and in our area - a great match. Thanks for your help, and your website is wonderful; a great time saver, too!

*** I found a band. thanks for your assistance. I will highly recommend this great service.

*** i am removeing the add becouse thanks to you guys my band found a drummer :)

*** I have used your service a lot and have auditioned about 3 players. This is one of the most difficult parts of the process of contracting music. I absolutely hate having to audition new players. It is nerve racking, time consuming and half the time, respondents don't show up. Your service is helping since I have found your respondents to be more responsible. Also, since I can really refine my ad on your page without spending mega bucks to the newspapers, I get better quality responses.

*** We hired a lead guitarist 15 days from when the add was posted. This site works. Thank You

*** I would like my add removed becuase i have recieved 8 different responsed from my ad. I really want to thank stlmusic.com becuase with this site I would have never found such a cool band to sing with. If we ever get famous i'm giving this site nothing but its props

*** I am removing my ad because I've finally got everyone I need for the new band. Your site (and patience with my constant changes & reposts) helped me find three out of the four guys I eventually hired. Thank you very much! Kristina McGaughey

*** Hey guy who made this website: It rocks. I've checked out other vehicles for finding musicians and they are really lame. This is by far the best. Thanks for donating your time. Sorry; this was the only way I could find to contact you. You rule!

*** I hooked up with a vocalist that I had been wanting to work with for two years! His old band opened a show for a band I was in at the time, and after I heard they split I had been asking around about him, but he found me first! Thanks!

*** We found a drummer he seen our ad on your service. Thanks to your service this band is on the way to being successful again.Thank you very much. Mark Cain

*** this is a wonderfull sight you have, keep up the good work.thanks for everything.

*** I just wanted to say thanks for putting such a great web site together. It must be a ton of work and extremely time consuming. Thanks again. Dave.

*** I sincerely appreciate your help. I am removing the ad because we fortunately found a perfect drummer for our band. I will use and recommend your service!
