I was talking with Dr, Crosby about the Gala and he made sure to mention that you were at the club in Anderson. I also blogged about you on my web page, http://www.palmettopride.blogspot.com. As a result of that one of my friends, Jimmy Boling says he was in a band with you back in the early 70's. He wanted to know if you are in town. Guess I'll tell him to take a road trip to Anderson.

Well, I was lucky enough to see Loretta perform in NY with a 9 piece band at the Historical Society (the previous night she sang at Lincoln Center) over the weekend - I'm sorry you all weren't with me. She sounded better than ever - those incredible pipes stronger than ever, engaging the audience... it was bittersweet to think that 20 years ago (maybe more, yikes!!) we were able to enjoy Loretta on a regular basis at the casinos. The only thing missing from Loretta's ovations was hearing Pudgy screaming "NO MORE... NO MORE..." I have to point out that Loretta sort of caught me off guard by looking better than I even remember... as if she wasn't stunning then! To invoke Pudgy again: "What is she drinking?? Oil of Olay on the rocks? Let's gang slap her".

Anyway, I had a great time, although it was over too quickly. Loretta is off to South Carolina (today I believe) after a packed schedule up here in NY. It was so good to see and hug her... love, Lenny xoxo

I love the CD "Quietly"...your voice is so strong that it stands alone....like a good juicy rib eye steak straight off the grill...if you add anything to it, it looses all its flavor. Max Hightower
 

Ms. Holloway, I am putting my dad's address in your guest book. He saw you in Las Vegas some years ago and was totally enamored. He is 84 years old and is anxious to see you in Vegas again. Everyday he tells me to go on the Internet to see if you will be there. Can you drop him a line. He would be thrilled to no end. Thank You. H. Roberts, Chicago, IL.
 

...are you going to perform in Las Vegas again I miss you! You are a minister of music - you take people to a better place and leave them there. Seeing you is a spiritual experience Emily G.
