from Lynda on 02/06/02 Message: I've been a fan for years. My "On and On" CD was almost worn out before it was stolen last July. My life has been empty since then, and the search is on for a replacement. Are you working on a new release?
from Mark Stoll on 02/06/02
from Ted Villarreal on 02/05/02 from Alan Hesford on 01/20/02 Excellent music. Excellent everything. Where in this shrinking world can I get Red Cab? from Gilles Gabillet on 01/16/02 Message: Hi Stephen, it is always incredible when you see your musical idols in person...that's what happened to me when I went to your concert in France at EuroDisney for the last Wast Coast festival. That was a very moving night for me and my friends. I was wondering if you happen to send chords of your songs to your fan ? I know musician usually don't like that, for copyrights reason, or other reason I don't understand. The only thing I know is that there are many songs of you I like to sing in my car or at home and I'd like to do it on my guitar also. Unfortunately, the chords sounds too difficult to identify ! don't tell me you did it in purpose !!! Anyway, if by chance you can provide me with those chords, choose one or more songs among the following ones : My clarinet Red cab to Manhattan Same old tears from a new background (so beautiful) Never letting go By the way, what are you doing now ? are you working on a new album ?? I hope you are well, in good health and in happiness. Gilles from Bryan on 01/15/02 Message: Hi Steven..i've been a fan since I heard It Might be you and Seperate Lives. Yours songs are such a delight. I was wonedring If you can give me the tab for It Might be you. Thank You so Much. Cheers, Bryan from Gustavo Fernádez on 01/05/02 Message: Dear Stephen: I´m a big fan of your music. I have all your records and I think you are a great composer and singer. I know that you visit my country in a couple of times but I live in the south (Bahía Blanca City) and I coudn´t see the shows.Please, return!. Are you recording now?. When you edit a new album with all the songs you write from films ?. My favorite song is "Parked cars" and I love too "When love was grand".Best Whises for you. Gustavo. from cora montague on 01/03/02 Message:Stephen, I have been looking for a recording of yours, it's 'the Christmas song" i heard it here on a local radio station a few years ago and I called to get the name of the album. They told me it was "the stars come out for Christmas" i have looked for it and even tried to order it to no avail. I have literally spent hours going through the Christmas cd's at every tom, dick and harrys,(k-mart) and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. ha! I would love to find a copy of that recording, can you help with this? you still have the most beautiful voice, and I will look forward to hearing your next recording. Still a big Bish fan! Cora Lynn from Michael Johnson on 01/03/02 Message: Hi Stephen. I have been trying to find your "Best of Bish" CD, but I am having a hard time. I love your songs, but there is one in particular that I am searching for: it's from the Unfaithfully Yours movie. Unfaithfully Yours (One Love). Can you help me out? I sure hope so. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I hope to hear back from you. Sincerely, Mike Johnson from Danny Nicholson on 01/03/02 Message: Dear Stephen, The emotion that you are able to birth in a song is as strong as any I have ever heard. I am a James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Billy Joel, Jim Croce,etc...fan. I have been a student of songwriting for years and even created three original albums myself. I just wanted you to know that when I hear the acoustic version of "Separate Lives" I am amazed and in awe of the emotion and honesty you put into it. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your ability and how many wonderful nights of song you have given to me. Thanks for giving us so much through song. You have made this world a better place!!! Just a long shot but I would love an autograph. I would be honored.My home address is: Danny Nicholson 1060 Willoughby Lane Mount Pleasant, South Carolina 29466 Youre the greatest !! Danny from Joyce on 01/03/02 Message: Dear Stephen, I don't know if you read the e-mail personally or if you respond back, but I feel as though I should let you know about this special person in my life. The music teacher in our school(Tom Nichuck), who is my best friend, has been enlightening me these past few years on all the different types of music, especially certain pop singers, country and jazz. I have learned so much about music itself and have been online for him many times. He not only teaches Music to grades k-8, but he is our instrumental teacher, teaches instrumental lessons in two other schools, works at the studio teaching students, goes all over to kids' homes teaching, plays/sings in the church choir, and is in a band. As you can see, and probably know from experience, he is one BUSY person; still he would do anything you ask for. I guess the reason I am writng this is to see if you can get in contact with him through e-mail or letter or even an autographed picture because he is going through a very rough time right now. It hurts me to see him this way, and he needs something to take his mind off of his troubles, even if for a few minutes. (In fact, I wrote to you yesterday using his name and his son's e-mail address to surprise him.) I hope this made some kind of sense. I know musicians have this thing between themselves and that is great. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Joyce from Tom Nichuck on 01/02/02 Message: Being a fellow musician/singer, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your music. from Mark Brewer on 12/28/01 Message: I don't expect a response, but I'd sure love to know the guitar chords to "My Clarinette". It's perfect for what I do and it's in my vocal range. Can you help? Mark Brewer markbrewer.net from Deborah on 12/26/01 Message:I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON THE SONG YOU DID--IT MIGHT BE YOU---I LOVE THIS SONG from Debborah on 12/26/01 Message:I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON THE SONG YOU DID--IT MIGHT BE YOU---I LOVE THIS SONG from Bob Brace on 12/22/01 Message:Great to find the site. Been a fan since I first heard 'On and on' Got several Albums on vinyl which have passed their best. Have enquired about replacing with cd copies, but having trouble in the uk obtaining them. Any advice? Thanks for the great songs. Merry Christmas, Bob from Andy Hinchliffe on 12/21/01 Message:Stephen - I have loved your music for many, many years and I would travel a long way to see you in concert. What are your plans to perform in 2002 - anywhere! Hoping to hear from you. Many thanks Andy from Robert Rutger on 12/21/01 Thanks for all the work you have done. I am, and will always continue to be, a big fan of yours. The song "On and On" has really gotten me through some tough times. Saw "Tootsie" the other night and your performance of that song floored me. I could go "on and on"... .Keep it up Bish, you are one talented guy. Robert from Todd on 12/19/01 Message: Hello :) I have always loved the song separate lives, very beautiful. I did not know that phil collins didnt write it. Who was the female singer in the duet for separate lives? THanks :) from Rosewyn del Rosario on 12/18/01 Message: Hi! I'm Rosewyn from Philippines. I really love you songs. It might be you is my favorite song. from Stephen Huebschwerlen on 12/15/01 Message: Simple little message; that I have like your music ever since your first album, that I was lucky enough to happen upon shortly after its release. Hey, loved your work in Animal House, betcha get that a lot. I am glad I finally used this ol' internet to find out you're still out there doing the work. I live in Bismarck, ND and have several friends who have been fans for just as long, so if you're ever in the neighborhood, drop in. I am going to get, at least, one copy of your '96 album, and I sure hope to check this site someday and see a more recent release. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! from Charles Marshall on 12/07/01 Message: Just listening to one of your CDs. I've always been a big fan. You inspired me to pick up a guitar (and a Mel Bay chord book!) when I was 15 and learn to play. Thanks for writing songs from the heart. Art is successful when it conveys the emotion of the artist to that of the recipient. You are a true artist. Would love to come hear you. Are you ever in the deep South? from Howard Hirdler on 11/27/01 Message:First heard you on a radio show in November 1975. (Howard Lerman?)You played quite a bit of what turned out to be "Careless", acousticly. Then saw you in December {?} same year {or soon thereafter) thrice at the Ice House {?}. Have most if not all of releases. You're due for new. Tell me when, etc. Thanks, Howard from david ligon on 11/27/01 Message:steven, i've been a fan for longer than i care to remember. have several of your l.p.'s, c.d.'and have always wanted to ask how youi write music. as songwriter myself, i've always understood the songs you write musically and the emotional bond you have with each song. i was hoping you may have the time to give a tips about songwriting to someone who has always admired your music. thanks, david ligon from REIDAR VINJE STENSVOLD on 11/27/01 Message:We just had a concert with Michael McDonald here in Norway, not far from my location at the Worlds End.

P.s:Your song "separate lives"is beautiful on all the great versions that you made.(Phil Collins too,of course)Thanks for your sensibility... from phil on 11/26/01 Message: Stephen, I'm a very ambitious person, how can a achieve a place in the music industry.

I work 1 block away and daily see the remains of an act of hate and antipathy. Your uplifting music, reminds me, that light always wins and the positive power of art is immeasurable. from on 11/21/01 Message: from patrick on 11/21/01 HI STEPHEN HOW ABOUT A VIDEO OR DVD OF SOME OF YOUR SONGS ?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR NUMBER 1 SCOTTISH FAN PATRICK. from Matthew Durgin on 11/17/01 Message: I just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you that I think your songs are great. I just picked up your Hits of.. album and have been really enjoying it. I'd already heard most of it but hadn't heard your acoustic version of Separate Lives - what a great version! I'm probably the only bad guitarist that works in my department (we do online CD retail) and was wondering if you had ever published a tab or standard notation for that arrangement? I would love to pick it up. Thanks for the great music! BTW, I love the way you sing the line ("and you make it stronger...") amazing honesty there. Matthew Durgin Philadelphia, PA from steve kelson dallas on 11/16/01 Message:Amazing I haven't found this site earlier. I found a copy of "Careless" (have every album) today and SO MUCH enjoyed listening to 'Bish' again! It's been awhile...but you're still one of the all time great writers/artists in my book. Chicago, Lee Ritenour, Andrew Gold and you, have been my favorites over the years. I'd love to see a show with you, Andrew and say, Kenny Rankin do a tour together. Thanks for the great music and I hope we hear more from you soon! from Mark on 11/16/01 Message: Hi Stephen, Greetings from Australia! I hope you make it down here sometime.

I living in Japan. Do you have plan for concert in Japan? I want see your concert. I am big fun of you! Please come to Japan. from Sarah Erwin on 11/03/01 Message:Dear Stephen, I discovered your music when I was just out of high school, and have enjoyed it very much ever since I bought Careless when I was in college 1977, and listened with the ear of a lonely girl who was "Looking For the Right One". I found him...or he found me, and we married in 1988, and I was able to listen with the ear of a happy woman wanting to share the news that "Everybody Needs Love". In February of 1990, I gave birth to our first child, who graced our lives for only 28 days. At that time, I couldn't listen much to music, because there were too many songs that had a whole new meaning to them--no parent should ever have to lose a child, and though his death was a blessing in that it released him from misery and pain, it left a hole in our hearts that has been difficult to fill. Subsequently, we were blessed with 2 healthy happy children who are growing into the most generous, loving little people--they see their brother Joseph as their personal guardian angel. For some reason tonight, I became very blue, as I do on occasion, missing my first born and wondering what his life might have been like if things had been different--in our house , we say, "Mom has a case of the Josephs", and everone is very patient with me. Tonight it hit when I was alone, and I went looking for music to help me get through it all. I grabbed "On & On", and my headphones and sat down to lose myself at the computer. As I listened, I was swamped with many memories, and at the end, listened to "(You'll Always Be)My Heart & Soul". I had always before listened to it thinking, "Here's a song written by a man who has found the love of his life." Tonight I listened with a different ear, and sang that song to my son, and was able to get through the worst of a bad case of the "Josephs". Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, and with me. from Fernando Fernández-Escalante on 11/03/01 Message: Just as you have always had The Beatles for a leading inspiration, I have always turned to them to refurbish my strength to carry on... But whenever I have felt in the mood for loving, or in need of tenderness and quiet, the choice has been any of the mellow and touching Stephen Bishop albums. Songs by a great musician, sung by a singer just as great. I keep looking forward to hearing from you again. It's good to have you on the air. Sincerely, Fernando from Debbi on 11/03/01 Message: Just a short note to let you know that I have always liked your music. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, hope you can do a concert down this way sometime - especially in the summer. Anyways, take care and have a great weekend! Cheers. from Patrick Hirang on 11/03/01 Message: Hi Stephen I haven't heard your name in years until I heard your song "It Might Be You" on KIXI Radio this morning! Glad to see you have a website and see what you are doing today! Thanks! Patrick Hirang PRHirang01@cs.com Seattle, WA PS: "On and On" and "Save It For A Rainy Day" were also my favorites! from jeffrey lynn reid on 11/02/01 Message:Hello Stephen! I've been a fan since 1976.I'm a musician & I've always been impressed with your chord changes & especially the humor in some of your lyrics.My favorite album is "'Red Cab" & I really like "Blue Guitars"."Picasso' & "Italian Rain" just blows me away!! I hope you perform in North Carolina someday!!! Thanks for all the great music! Jeffrey Lynn Reid from amy tobin on 11/01/01 Message: Love your music.....any chance you could be working on a new project? from Kenny Kirby on 10/30/01 Message:Dear Bish, As a fellow player who has spent the last 22 years touring the world w/ many pop acts,notably & most recently with Van Morrison,I truly appreciate the brilliance of your body of work!!! I currently work as a producer/keyboardist for the Linda Creed(Greatest Love etc...)Publishing Co.We are looking for songs for the movie being made about her life.You can contact me or her husband Steve"Eppy" Epstein at (215) 831-8901 or by E-Mail. Sincerely, Kenny Kirby from Dave Flatt on 10/28/01 Message:Since my purchase of "careless" in the late 70's, There exists a handful of singer/songwriters that I always refer people to buy. In the Male category You, Phil Collins, Kenny Loggins. In the Female, Beth Neilson Chapman, and Christine Lavin. I have followed your carrer, even watching for you on tv. My hope is someday I will be able write such a tune as "parked cars" or "recognized". If you ever come to Austin Texas,we'll fill the venue for you. My fave picture of you is the one from the sleeve of Phil Collins' album "face value". The one that has you eating chips in a robe. You epitomize my idea of a musical "everyman". Thanks for your craft, D. Flatt from daniel cornejo on 10/27/01 Message:Mr, Bishop, I hope you enjoyed playing in my country, Argentina. Your music is timeless. I wish you all the best and I hope you'll be playing in New York City soon. - Daniel Cornejo from Eros on 10/24/01 Message: is it possible that you could send me a wave file of your voice saying Hello, Hi or Mabuhay or something like that!!? Please Mr. please!!! that little favor will sure live with me forever!! I'll count on it!! Thanks from DAVE BISHOP on 10/22/01 Message:BISH,BEEN A FAN FOR YEARS AND ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT PART OF THE BISHOP TREE YOU MIGHT BE FROM? I HAVE ALOT OF HISTORY ON THE BISHOP FAMILY AND THOUGHT WE MIGHT BE KIN !(never know) BE NICE TO KNOW A LITTLE OF YOUR FAMILY HISTORY SO I COULD CHECK. EVEN IF WE AREN'T BLOOD,ALL US BISHOPS ARE PROUD TO SHARE YOUR NAME !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Dave Bishop BALTIMORE,MD. from Sheila on 10/20/01 Message:Hey! I must say how impressed I am by Stephen Bishop , his writing and singing alike. I am 22 now and for years I have been enjoying this music all with out knowing the man behind it. Just recently someone who's opinion in music I value greatly exposed me to the life and music of Stephen. Is style and smoothness are timeless. Twenty five years ago as now as also the furture Stephen Bishop is and was and will be know as one of the best lyracists of our time. With great apreication! Sheila from dave davenport (greenville, S.C.) on 10/17/01 Message:I picked up a copy of bowling in paris, expecting maybe a good song or two. I was stunned. There was a transparency and artistic performance only approached by a few artists I've ever heard: (believe it or not) Winona, Vonda Shepherd, Harry Connick, Garfunkel, and Don Henley. I realize that these "fan" things are rarely read, and usually boring, but that album is the best vocal performance I've ever experienced. If there had only been one person on the planet capable of hearing it, it would still have been more than worthwhile. from Susan Holbrook on 10/15/01 I have this vague memory of you singing "It Might Be You" at the 1982 Oscars. For some reason, I was very touched by that particular performance and have been a life-long fan ever since. Then I found out that you were in the movie "Animal House"! I'm also a huge John Landis fan, so I've followed your "film career" as well. : ) Is there any possible way to obtain a photo of you from the '82 Oscar ceremony? Seems to me you were wearing this amazing splatter-paint tux. I might have dreamed that part. It was a long time ago, but I was very moved by the moment. Is there perhaps a download-able image of it somewhere online? I would love to get e-mail from you. Thanks! -Susan from Mitch on 10/14/01 Message: I've always enjoyed your records and now, that I can put my old vinyl on CD, I've been listening to Bish and Red Cab, and all the old soundtrack stuff. It's just great, and I thought that Blue Guitar was one of the better discs of the year in '94 (was it really that long ago?). So the big question -- anything in the pipeline? Just wonderin' (no pressure or anything...). Mitch in NJ from Charlie Remy on 10/10/01 Stephen, I just love your song "It Might be You". It really makes me think and reflect on my life. It is so inspirational. Where did you get the idea of writing it? I love it!! Take care. Charlie Remy from Fox on 10/10/01 Ano ba namang buhay to, walang kakuwenta kuwenta, parang ikaw from Larry Trischetta on 10/09/01 Message: Stephen, I've been listening to "Careless" since 1977 and (no exageration) I either play one or all of the songs, or perform a few or just sing them to myself AT LEAST once a week and mostly more EVER SINCE October, 1977! That is the impact the album had on me. I consider it to be my #1 album of all time... and that's coming from a die-hard Beatle fan who has high musical standards!! Thanks so much for contributing to my personal life. I've much to say, but I'll try to find a more appropriate venue. Larry Trischetta Scranton, PA from Teresa on 10/06/01 Dear mr Bishop...I often wish you'd come over with your guitar and sing for me. I wore out your tapes harmonizing with such great lines as..."like a storm in a teacup, like a smile sent down from heaven..." Such beautiful feeling, so many great melodies. you enriched my life through so many lonely times. You are so gifted. i used to sing in a tavern named Maloneys with two friends of mine in Margate,new Jersey back in the 80's...nothing like harmonizing to "Bish". Very sweet. from Teresa on 10/06/01 Dear mr Bishop...I often wish you'd come over with your guitar and sing for me.

Not to worry if not, I understand, just thought I'd ask as you are something of a god to me!!! from Diego Ezcurra - Argentina on 10/04/01 Message:I saw you last year in Bs. As. and truly believe that you are one of the best Pop song writer and singer in the whole world. Pure art. Beautiful music and lirics. I do love music and as the song says "Music was my first love and it will be my last" I really enjoy listening your songs, and I am eager to have your new album. Work a little more harder and produce at least one album a year so we can be a little more happy in this crazy world. By the way I´am 43 years old Veterinarian that deal every day with Bovine Embryo Transfer, have a beautiful wife and 3 lovely children (16-13-10 years old-girl-boy-girl) My best regards to you and your creative soul. With your songs you touch the deepest feelings of many people around the world. from Colin Barratt on 09/30/01 Message: Hi Stephen - just checking out the site and thought I'd drop a note to you. Hope you are well (family too!) - and that at some point in the not too distant future I will get the opportunity to see you playing live somewhere!! UK / USA. Take care from Paul Adams on 09/30/01 Message: I just wanted to say that your songs have brought trremendous pleasure of the years, and I think you're one of the great modern song writers. "parked cars" is a truly wonderful song. from Richard on 09/28/01 Message: Hi Stephen. Am basically a bug fan of yours and your album Ond and On is one of my best cds. Was able to see you here in the Phils. when you had a gig two years ago with David and Michael. I was practically seeing with all of the songs you played that time. Thanks for your music and don't you know that it has been keeping me going in life. I used to be a hopeless romantic (maybe that is one characteristic best describing the lyrics of your songs) but now, I have found the love of my life. Hope to hear about your new single or album probably. Take care and best regards to your family. from Mika on 09/28/01 Message: Hi Stephen, I'm Mika and I surely hope all is well with you. Thank you so much for sharing your gift, as you see it has touched so many. I hope you never tire of hearing praises. I just turned 26 in July and I have been a fan for many years, though I was the only young woman in my peer group at the time that was aware of the beauty you were unleashing on the world. So I gravitated towards people who did bathe in your bliss. Your passion saw me through some 'times'. Thanks for the elevation I feel when I hear your name. At times I wonder how you can take all of it building inside of you. You are truly a reflection of how my soul feels so deep! Your music is understanding itself, and I am Walking On Air. I would be pleased to hear from you, if time permits. Take care. (reflective_moon@webtv.net from Mika on 09/28/01 Message: Hi Stephen, I'm Mika and I surely hope all is well with you.

Thanks a lot From France from Peter C. Ward on 09/21/01 Message: Hi Stephen. I have written you before, but it has been a while. Any chance you could perform in the Atlanta or Nashville area? I was at the Bluebird Cafe, and your name was mentioned as having performed there. My wife and I recently went there to see Michael Johnson. Pete Ward from Gary Desperles on 09/19/01 Message:I was just listening to the best of Art Garfunkel and hearing "Looking for the right one" I realised how long it had been since I heard any of your stuff. I used to have Careless on vinyl and Bowling in Paris on tape, but both are now long gone. It wasn't til I heard Art sing your song, that I realised how much I miss your music. For some strange reason, we in England never seemed to appreciate Stephen Bishop. For our sake, come over to the UK and show the fools what they have been missing. I know that Dean Freidman has toured quite successfully over the past few years, and i'm damn sure you could do the same. I for my part, will have to get out and buy your stuff on CD now that my appetite has been re-whetted. On the cheeky side. There is nothing I would like more than to receive a signed phote for my wall (my wife will even be happy to have it on the wall) My address is: Gary Desperles (and Ruth) 48 Eathorpe Close, Matchborough West, Redditch, Worcestershire B98 0HQ England. In any case. Get some new music out there. It's about time we had something decent to listen to, instead of all tis (C)Rap music and such. from Dave Morris on 09/18/01 Please add me to your mailing list. Thanks, Dave from daesylyn on 09/17/01 Message:i just want you to know that it might be you is the number one music in my life i can relate with this song because i finally found the right guy for me from Paul on 09/17/01 Message: Hey Stephen, Just had to check in and see how you're doing. Among other sights I've posted on are tributed to ART GARFUNKEL and ANDREW GOLD, folks you've worked with and they are doing well since the disaster. Just want to encourage everybody to take a break from the bad news and explore some stuff you enjoy on line or whereever -- take time for yourself and you'll heal soon!! AS FOR YOU, mr. Bish, looks like your sad song from BLUE GUITARS called ITALIAN RAIN has become true for us all, not just that child you wrote the song about. But, don't fret, in answer to your song, no, they haven't "captured the moon". Thanks for the music, memories and healing and we'll see you soon singing somewhere I hope! Love Paul from andrew udis on 09/16/01 Message: i was playing a tennis tournament in palm springs a couple of years ago and i saw you play at some casino/ place it was a great show hope you will be coming to new york soon also in rolling stone magazine like 10 years ago on best cds of the year phil collins once mentioned you had an unreleased cd that was awesome did it ever come out can i get it etcc i have all your cds you are great thanks andrew from Andy Owen on 09/16/01 Message: Hi Steve I trust you are well and trying to cope, as we all are, with the horrific events of the last week. Are there any plans for you to visit the UK and do any gigs here? Also, any news on a new album? Warm regards Andy from lincoln davis on 09/11/01 Message:Dear Stephen, Regarding UK appearances, I seem to remember you on the Leo Sayer show once. Do you remember this? Thanks for the great music over the years, Lincoln Davis from Roli Mack & BJ Ross on 09/10/01 Message: Wow, what a great site, thanks for the wonderful music all these years..."On & On" is one of our absolute favorites...one of those songs that takes you back to an instant memory that warms your heart and brightens your day!

Canada or the Northwestern States? Thanks again, for all the wonderdul songs you've written, you are truly a gifted man. Wishing you all the best, Roli & BJ from Tom Broughton on 09/07/01 Message:Dear Stephen, Thanks so much for your great songs (sharing them). I hope you keep writing. I have your "Careless" album. You are of course a fantastic songwriter, but also a great singer/guitarist. Would you have any advice for me? I'm a singer/ songwriter. I'm getting into the game a bit late but it's what I want to do. Your music has inspired me to write and play. I just cut a four song EP (with some great Chicago session players). Any ideas you might have for how to connect with folks who would listen would be great. Are you touring much these days? It would be great to see you live (I'm in the Chicago suburb of Evanston). Thanks for reading this. All the best to you. You are on the top of my list of fantastic artists. If you are able, please let me know what you are doing these days. Best Regards, Tom from Peter Nelson on 09/07/01 me and my sister are big fans of yours and it would be very cool if you could drop me a line sometime..if your not too busy :(( THANKS :)) from Samy Honkanen on 09/07/01 Message:Hello Stephen.

Thanks Samy from Judy on 09/06/01 Message:My husband Steve and I saw you in Reno on August 10, and want you to know how much we thoroughly enjoyed your show! We had just finished an 8 day, 120 mile trek on the Tahoe Rim Trail with a few days of recuperation in Reno (all for Steve's birthday) and were thrilled to hear you were going to be there. I gotta tell you tho, we were there to see only you! We left as soon as you left the stage and felt it was well worth the money for the almost hour you were on stage! Thank you for sharing your music and your stories with us! from Keith Spicer on 09/05/01 Message:Hi Stephen.Delighted to find the website and take the opportunity to say thanks for all the music. Don't ever think that we forget you, your work, or the great memories you soundtracked for us: "Bowling in Paris" is in my car right now. And thanks to Bob Taylor at Taylor Guitars for my 614CE. Guess what, Steve? It's blue. from Jobe Reino on 09/05/01 Message:Hi Stephen, I'm Jobe Reino a singer,songwriter and performer like yourself. I was close friends with your brother Dennis in San Diego and have lost touch with him. I would like to say hello. He was very helpful with my group many years ago called simly Jobe and John. We performed all over and played frequently at a place in La Jolla on Prospect Ave. called Botsfords Old Place. I don't know if you remember but you came and sat in a couple nights. It was many years ago,so if you do not recall don't worry about it.Currently, I have been playing with a new singer Stephanie Kelly.We played with David Foster at the Indian Wells Tennis Stadium to 12,000 people. It was a thrill to play with him. Our friends the washingtons who front alot of money for music projects(Streisand,Jackson,Bodygaurd,etc. taled David to come out. It was part of an easter concert with southwest community church. A church of over two thousand located in Indian Wells. Members with tons of money like the Washingtons.Anyway, the point is I have a song I need your help on. Produce co-write and sing. I need you to get it to Speilberg.E-mail me with a time thats good for you to get together. I am out here in the Palm Desert,Calif area. Also, dont forget Dennis. I really want to get back in touch with him. Thanks, Jobe Reino from Julian Smith on 09/04/01 Message:This may seem like an odd question, but is it really you that replies to these emails?! I mean you Steve Bishop!? Cos i've loved your music for almost 20 years, and the thought of you sitting down at a pc and writing to ME...! I do hope so but even if it aint, imean you must be pretty busy, it's still good to be in touch with you. I wish more artists had this facility. Thanks buddy. from Jörg Gora on 09/03/01 Message:Hey Bish! I am a fan from West Germany ! Something new i need to know? Perhaps a new CD release in 2002? Please let me know from Rachard Mcintyre on 09/02/01 Message: Hi Mr.Bishop, I'm a new fan. You are a great singer and songwriter. I enjoy listening to your wonderful voice. Your music really touches my heart,whenever I hear it! My favorite songs include "On and On", "It Might be You", and "Walking On Air". The song I like the most is "Walking On Air" because I imagine myself being a pilot exploring God's big blue sky. It's a real enjoyment to share your voice to people of all ages. from Darryl Reina, Recreation Program Director on 08/31/01 Message: This is an inquiry as to the bands avaialblity and fees for a 2002 Sunday afternoon outdoor concert in the City of Newark, CA during July/August.

Finally,the music which one liked learned to have the time when it was just a little opened from the child care and it could listen,too. It listened to your singing voice after a long time,and it could have the happy time when it was opened from the everyday life. Thank you !! from Gonzalo on 08/23/01 Message:hallo stephen!

THANKS RANDALLL from Rebecca Bit on 08/21/01 After my last posting in your guest book, my boyfriend decided to make me pay for putting down such a (gag) great musician. And I was force to sit through what he called a STEPHEN BISHOP WEEKEND. I was forced to sit through every song ever made by you. And to be honest I was a bit upset. Turns out I was an undercover fan-but I had no idea. I really like alot of your stuff. So here I am faced with no choice but to apologize. So here goes. I am ... well you get the idea. Oh and thank you. I may not have been too excited about having to listen to EVERY song you ever made, but I got to spend a weekend with my Budje. So it was worth the pain. Thanks. from philippe bacque on 08/20/01 Message: hi, i'm from Argentina, and sorry, my english is not very good.

It was fun to stumble over your site. I hope you are well and thriving. I still enjoy the words and music. Sincerest regards, Pamela Hill from Mike Shepherd on 08/19/01 Message: Rediscovered the album after many years. It's still as fresh now as when I first heard. Thanks for the great songs. from Rebecca Bit on 08/16/01 Message:Stephen please help me. My boyfriend is this freak who listens to the cheesiest crap. Of course your his fave! So by now I am sure you are wondering how you can help me. Well... can you try and make some GOOD MUSIC? Just a suggestion :O) from Joe on 08/16/01 Message: I know Bish appeared in Reno on 8/10 & 8/11. Unfortunately, that was almost 3000 MILES away from where I live! I know he's headed to Hawaii, Argentina and other points further west and south — which aren't helping me at all!Are you considering doing any shows in venues that are east of the Mississippi? Just wondering. A loyal fan since summer '76 from Gustavo Ghidorzi on 08/16/01 Message:I'm probably your #1 fan from Italy (I hope so). When a new album? However, thank you for all the years of great songs that really are the soundtrack of my life. from Julian Smith on 08/16/01 Message:Absolutely adore your music, the more accoustic the better! Have trouble listening to 'Careless' now- painful memories of giving a girl a tape of that on one side and 'All this and heaven too' by Andrew Gold (2 of the most romantic albums ever!). She married me in '87 and divorced me last year! So glad I found this site. Keep working, we love you! Any chance we'll see you here in the U.K. this century? PLEASE?! from Katie on 08/13/01 Message:Hey Stephen, I sent you an email, that was before I saw your Guest book!! Your show at the Atlantis was fantastic! Please email me back!!! Love Ya!!!!! from Teague Clements on 08/13/01 Hey Bish. I had the pleasure of meeting you a few years ago at HMV in New York City at an autograph signing (where you wore the funkiest shoes I have ever seen in my life. I believe they were either leopard or cheetah spotted). I came across your site and figured I'd say hi. Thank you very much for your music. I'm sure you have heard this a million times before, but I'm a big fan and your music has inspired and influenced me as a guitarist. Thank you again for your gift. Thank you for "Love on the Outside," thank you for "Save it for a rainy day," and all the other exciting songs you have composed. Bish, you are the grooviest.

Visit my website: http://www.geocities.com/s_meisner/SteveR/index.htm from Bob Kraut on 08/03/01 I've been a fan of your music from the first album. My best friend was a promotion man for ABC, so he had tons of Bish in his possession. How I would love to have that album on CD. I've the Greatest Hits compilation, I have Red Cab on cassette, and I've got the latest on Red Bank. I absolutely love your songs. How I wish more people would record your songs...but, I love your originals best. Right now, it looks like you've got a champion in Diane Schuur. Good for her! I love your duet with her. I would love to write with you. I'm a Jazz and Blues musician, and I've been performing your songs since: On and On, and Save it for a Rainy Day. Did you get the checks? Please know that there are a cadre of fierce Stephen Bishop fans who love just about everything you do...with the possible exception of Bowling in Paris. Damn you Phil Collins! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. from Dan Peek on 08/01/01 Stephen Bishop was a great influence on my music, which ultimately influenced the sound of America.

I'm actually intrigued by the possibility that you might even send a reply. I've just stumbled onto your website and was glad to find it. Gladder still was I to find that you have a new album out. I pulled out my old lp's the other day and enjoyed listening to Careless and Bish again. It's hard to express how important that music was to me when I was a lonely teen in the late '70s. And I love the music still. Thanks for that. Anything I can do for you? (wash your car, buy you a beer, set up a concert for you at USD?). Anyway, I do hope you are happy and well, and that you will someday soon play in San Diego. Um, well, I guess I better go out and buy Blue Guitars now. Best wishes. from Elaine on 06/17/01 Message: could you please send me (Youll always be) My Heart and Soul lyrics. Best song Ive ever heard!!!

You could download it for free at http://www.jamwithpam.com and also make Waxstatic win a recording contact and more. Please, please do vote for them. from Susheela on 06/05/01 Message:Just writing to let you know I like your music very much. I first heard your music from the Tootsie soundtrack and loved your music since. And lately my Guitar teacher taught me some of your songs. I am a medical doctor who loves music and I hope one day you could perform here in Malaysia from Elaine Donovan Transue on 06/04/01 Message: I'm sure you do not remember me, we really did not know each other at Crawford. We used to smile at each in passing,sometimes. I talked to you at our 10 year reunion, and then I talked to you briefly when you performed at Humphreys in the early 80's. When my son & his wife got married their wedding song was that song "All of my life", I don't know if that is the name of it or not, all of a sudden I just went brain dead. Anyway they have it framed on their bedroom wall. My life hasn't been all that exciting. I was married briefly, but my ex-husband committed suicide. I raised my daughter and my son myself, and now have 3 beautiful grandchildren. I never remarried, I have worked in the banking field, which is something I never thought I would do since I was never much at math, but with the kids good choice. I hope this is not to boring. I have a lot of time on my hands right now, I am on disabilty for a while, I am going through a very aggresive chemotherapy program for colon cancer. I am keeping a very positive attitude, and at least it lets me have time for my gardening and art work which I love. Well, I won't bore you anymore. I didn't see you at the 30 year renunion. The next one is going to be a 40 year renunion. I plan on making it to that one. Thanks for making beautiful music. Elaine from Jay Lindell on 06/03/01 Message: Stuck here on Sunday--both kids are out of the house, my wife is home--and what am I doing? Listening to Blue Guitars and WORKING! This sucks! Only silver lining is the music. Always has been, since the beginning, Steve. What drove me to the site was realizing how great B.G. sounds (you and Andrew Gold did a GREAT job) and how I wish I could get some scratch-free copies of Careless, Bish and Red Cab. Does it exist anywhere? Do you own the tapes? Why not MP3'em and put them up on your site? For a buck a song or $8 for the whole album? Any new music? Heck, do the same; MP3'em. Don't get me wrong, I love CDs but the music scene is such [*******] now that all the good artists are doin' indie stuff to get their music out there; and MP3 seems like a real great empowerment for underappreciated artists. Anyway, you have a solid, fairly sizeable following, don't you? Seems you could market your present and future library this way. Just some thoughts from a musician, a big admirer and a fan.

Don't you love hearing that? Seriously, you are one of my favorite singer-songwriters, right up there with Lennon and McCartney. I write songs too, and when I write something pretty good, I think -- well, not as good as Bish, but not bad. I'd love to hear some new Stephen Bishop music. Are you working on a new album? (I hope so) Sorry to hear about your divorce. Been through one a few years ago myself, so I know how you feel. When are you coming to visit us at Penn State? We have several music venues available -- the best are the Bryce Jordan Center and Eisenhower Auditorium. Yeah, it's a college town so there are plenty of Stephen Who? twentysomethings, but also a lot of us Boomers who teach them so please consider doing a concert at Penn State soon or I'll have to drive into New York and get my car broken into again! Thanks for all the wonderful music you've written over the years. You've given me many pleasurable hours of listening to your beautiful music (and making out with girls when I was younger!).

THANKS from Martin Berry on 03/26/01 Message: Hello from your frinds in England ! Stephen, very pleased that I can mail you . Years ago when I was at college my friend and I got into your music, and had the following on 7 inch vinyl, On and On, Save it for a rainy day and Careless. Now at the age of 43 my friend and I have rediscovered these 3 tracks again, (don't know what happened to our albums of yours, sorry)and they sound so special, I have a tape of the tracks that I play in my car and my 10 year old twin girls cant get enough of those tracks, the Spice Girls, Westlife and Robbie Williams take a back seat when your on, you see you have no competition. One question, we think that you may be making a trombone sound on Careless with your lips is that true ? as when we are in the car listening we try to emulate this, good fun and plenty of siliva. I am very new to the web and so glad that I can find out more, access new albums of your work, and see what else I have been missing. Do you have a fan club of sorts to write and request a signed photo ? By the way I sing in a Blues Brothers type band called the Rhythm Method and were pretty good, but I am trying to include Careless in the set, however the guitarist is also good on accoustic, so it is likely that we will do an accoustic set, and Careless and On and On will be in there. Spreading the word ! Keep making great tunes Bish, and once again thanks for the opportunity to send this message From Martin, Eddie (my college mate and still , Lauren & Rachael, my daughters from on 03/26/01 Message: from Don Kletke on 03/24/01 Stephen Bishop When are you going to release a new CD you know we (fans) are waiting.Also why don't you perform more often I would love to be able to see you live. Please reply Thanks Don Kletke from Robert Jakobson on 03/23/01 Years ago, I was a DJ at a small town station that had an awesome library of music - that included much of your music. (No surprise there) One of the albums was "Bish" - another was, I believe - "Big House". I ran out and bought both on the spot, and promptly played them over the years until the vinyl could take no more. Any chance we'll ever get to hear some of the wonder music you did on those again? I've searched all over the Internet for them - Amazon, CD Now and the rest of the majors. Some of my favorites were Land of Lincoln, Big House -- and I can't seem to find anyone with them. -- I've had fans tell me there was no Big House album even. :-) Got any ideas where I can find them? I'd gladly pay almost anything to hear those songs again. I had some great times and memories of them. from Jovic on 03/21/01 Message:You know what's funny about Christopher Cross?

And I'm certain that it will result for those legal recording company to do something in favor with us too. Well that's all for now perhaps I should not be telling you anyway, but you may want to know, 'cause you're a recording artist and a producer.

One of my plans is to go to the states to meet composers and producers. I have a good voice and I want to make the best musical work I can, make the best of the talent god gave me. Sorry for my bad english (I don't have anyone to practice right now) and I hope you want to talk about this later. I'm a new artist and need all the help I can get.

Where can I buy sheet music for guitar for the songs on the Careless album? Thanks, Tom from Steve Feldman on 12/23/00 Message: I wore out your "Bish" album in the late 70's. I was in college... primarily into music by David Bromberg, John Hammond, John Prine...and other blues, folk and rock singers. And my friends couldn't understand why I would, then, listen to lighter stuff like Bishop's. I think it was the unique quality of the lyrics and melodies that drew me. And the production seemed to be top-notch. Everything about the music seemed to be straight-from-the-heart. Like "When Will The Right One Come Along?" seemed to echo my sentiments about runnin' wild... lookin' for the right girl for me. When's it gonna happen? Now? Never? Anyway, I drank a lot of hootch and smoked a lot of "cigarettes" (and did some serious "necking')as that album was playing in the background. And I can't get out of my mind a very youthful and hot Tanya Tucker posing w/ various folks on the album's backcover. Great memories.

You are the best at singing love ballads and you construct them so well. Your acoustic guitar playing is great and you have a smooth voice to put over them. I have a keyboard and a Washburn Electric Guitar and I am finally getting the hang of sheet music, and chord changings and all that. I was writing vocal sheet music this past week.

I was immediately transported back to 1978 (when I was MUCH younger!) when the Scarecrow sang "If I Only Had a Brain"! I loved your rendition of it, and I remember listening "Bish" and "Careless" often. I have always enjoyed your music, and hearing that song sent me on a merry chase across the Internet in search of your CD's. They were hard to come by, but I found a few still in circulation (the ones I found are definitely on my Christmas list!!) I also had lots of fun researching items for your trivia contest. (I don't know how well I did, but it was fun anyway!) Just thought I'd share my strange evening with you, since you were a big part of it. That moment took me back to a simpler time in my life; one where my biggest worry was what college I would apply to, and where I'd go with my boyfriend on Saturday night. It was a good memory to re-visit. Thanks, Cindy PS...you have no idea how close I came to getting out my old stereo and digging through my old LP's to listen to you again! : ) from Eddie Cunningham on 11/24/00 LOS ANGELES -- With the help of his lucky charms, including a old Ovation nylon string guitar, Los Angeles resident Eddie Cunningham strummed his way to victory, winning the eighth annual Jim Beam Country Band Search on Nov. 11. Cunningham, who used the same guitar for two previous contests at the Grand Ole Opry House, hoped the third time would be the charm. "I took it out of the closet and said 'We're going back to Nashville,' " said Cunningham, whose songs have been featured on the "Made in America" soundtrack and the "Gram Parsons Notebook CD." He also took with him a new suede sports coat from his mother-in-law and a cowboy angel figurine from his mother. In addition to being heralded as the best unsigned country act in the United States, Cunningham played a private showcase for record label executives at Nashville's Music Industry Row, as well as receiving $1,500 in equipment and a Gibson limited-edition Jim Beam (les paul) customized guitar. Cunningham, who competed with four other finalists, said he was "blown away and real excited" to win. He prepared by just focusing on being himself. "From the top of your head to your feet -- it's how you portray yourself, either as a phony or the real thing. I just let the songs do the talking and dressed cool," Cunningham said. He also made sure his voice was in good shape and that he made contact with the audience and the judges while on stage, said Johnny Dorris Jr., one of eight judges. "He took ownership of his songs and conveyed himself in a believable way to the crowd," Dorris said. "He was the most convincing act. It was obvious he was enjoying himself while entertaining the crowd." During his 15-minute set, Cunningham was evaluated on the basis of musicianship, songwriting, live performance, country music appeal and originality. He was accompanied by a house band and his wife Vicki's harmonies as he performed four songs, including a honky tonk number and a ballad. Cunningham, Dorris said, was able to perform seamlessly with the band. He was seasoned, comfortable and believable. "His songs are about a way of life and the things he believes in," said Dorris, who also manages one of country music's top duos, Montgomery Gentry. Cunningham hopes his new title will serve as a stepping stone. "I'd like to use this opportunity as a launch to get my songs to other artists, get more cuts, then I'll be in a better position to get a better recording deal " he said.Message: from Eddie Cunningham on 11/24/00 LOS ANGELES -- With the help of his lucky charms, including a old Ovation nylon string guitar, Los Angeles resident Eddie Cunningham strummed his way to victory, winning the eighth annual Jim Beam Country Band Search on Nov. 11.

My favorite album is Careless. What I really dig is the prelude to Save it For a Rainy Day. Great magic. I'm a songwriter, will be releasing a cd next march. I hope I don't sound like I'm "gushing", but your first album influenced my writing a great deal. I find I'm writing little preludes for some of my compositions. I think it is a great way to introduce a song. I'm glad you're still playing out and writing. Hope you make a stop in St. Louis in the future. we have some wonderful venues for acoustic/electric music.

But last week I found myself listening to my lovely girlfriend sweetly singing me "It might be you"... Can you imagine what I felt??? I'm sure you can and wanted to tell you that I became your #1 fan. Thanx... You're great! Rick from tom on 11/07/00 Message: Hey Bish. I saw and met you at the Mohegans casino in CT. You sounded great, too bad they couldn't have turned off the slot machines. Good job if you ever need a good t-shirt man, e-mail me ok? I love to travel and need to keep busy. Tom from CHRIS DURIGAN on 11/05/00 Message:Dear Stephen, Your show last night was absolutly fantastic!! I loved your selections from the beautiful "Red Cab.." to the Beatles "All I've Got to do". I've been waiting along time to see you come to this area - it was well worth the wait! Can't wait for the new album - I hope they promote it better than "Blue Guitars" That album was a masterpiece that unfortunatly too few got to hear. By the way-How about putting Romeo and Juliet out as a single. I think its a great rendition. Well congrats on the great show. Hope to hear from you!

I was a friend of Ron Anton and saw your picture with him on the BMI site at the awards on Oct. 3,2000. I have a guitar you might be interested in hearing. If you hit a string in one direction a signal is sent to channel 1. Hitting the SAME string in the oppisite direction sends the signal to channel 2. Bending the string pans the signal from 1 to 2. If you ever get to LA give me a call.

My first albums back in the 80's that I bought were Careless, followed by Red Cab to Manhattan. As a guitar player and kid with always a heart for girl, your songs always said the right things. In college...those lonely heartbreak nights included listening to your albums.... Thank you and thanks for your continued work. By the way, will you ever be in Portland Oregon for a concert? You probably already are aware that the Northwest is a great hot bed of musicians and talent. Many acoustical folks have been launched from our area. Would enjoy attending one of your live concerts in the area (seattle also?) Thank you again....your songs still hit the right notes.... Take care, Rod Carlson from Valerie Morgan on 10/12/00 Message: I have loved your songs for quite a while but I never caught who sang them.

Specifically, "Red Cab to Manhattan", which I consider one of my favorite albums of all times! 2) What's new on the horizon? Any new material coming out soon? 3) I notice that you still tour.

Having grown up in Sherman Oaks CA in the early 70's I have followed your career since the beginning. Hanging out with fellow musicians from Grant High.. i.e. Steve and Jeff Pocaro from Toto amoung others gave me a feel for the local studio scene where I quickly found your music. My background was classial guitar so I took another road.... Your latest album Blue Guitar is one of your best and I know them all. Your work with Andrew Gold is awsome. I herd you were playing at a small sushi restraurant in Ojai where I hang out and I missed it. I was truly upset. Any chance you will be touring solo acoustic? If so please let your musician friends know. Their is only one Bish... Take Care. Brent from Christian Kuschel on 06/16/00 Message: Hi Stephen - hope you´re doing well. Just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful music over the years which has always been sort of a soundtrack of my life. "Bish" was the first one I bought (1977, back in the days of vinyl) and enjoyed all of them up to "Blue Guitars" which I bought while vacationing in Ireland last year. Before the Internet came along, it took a lot of browsing to find your most recent releases, but the albums have all been worth the searching. Good luck & I hope to hear from you again soon - either electronically or through my CD player. Christian Kuschel Schwabach, Germany from Jack H. on 06/15/00 Message: Just saw your site and wanted to thank you for many years of great music. My fav? Only The Heart Within You. Love that one (among many others). I am a songwriter/player too, but mostly in the blues/R&B arena. My dirty little secret is that I also write a lot of songs (that will probably never be heard) that actually have melodies; some even have lyrics that might mean something! And that's why I haven't quit my "day job." That you have been able to make a living writing the songs you write is a gift coming and going. So keep on doing it. The new album has some very nice things on it; keep going. Check out my page www.roguesontherun.com if you get a chance. Thanks, JH from mark on 06/15/00 Message: hello, well, hi... i just like to tell you that i like ur music... in fact i'd always sung this in my campus... well, till next time bye@! from Terry Burgess on 06/09/00 Message: This was my favorite song in '76 and is still going around in my head. The first time I heard it was at the Fort Worth Water Gardens. It was playing on a girls radio; we listened to it together, became friends, then she married my cousin. Oh well...... from Stephanie Campbell on 06/08/00 Message:I think you Mr. Bishop are one of the greatest songwriters of the century. When I heard Art Garfunkels album and Save it for a Rainy Day I was in awe of your talents. Stephanie from Holger on 06/06/00 Message:I love your music since my first america visit 1978. now i own every of your cd`s. i have 2 questions: when will you release your next album (it`s too long to wait for) and do you plan concerts in europe ?

The only 2 available here in England are 'An Introduction to Steven Bishop' and 'Careless'. Why do I seem to be the only person of my age to have heard of you? You need to be made more famous, then every one can apriciate the wonder that is Stephen Bishop.

Have every one of your albums on vinyl, now waiting for them all to be released on CD. I remember seeing you on TV at some small club in Iowa many years ago. Think you'd ever get that video and release it? Anyway, thank you for all the years of great music. -Bill O'Hanlon, Santa Fe, NM from James Hill on 04/25/00 Message:Stephen, I love your music! I've been listening toyou for over 20 years. I used to live in San Diego and had the pleasure of meeting your Mom. It still bugs me that "Say You, Say Me" took the Oscar instead of "Separate Lives". What's up with that?! Do you have any upcoming appearances in the Northwest? from Mardi on 04/21/00 Message: Dear Mr Bishop, I have been visiting this site over the last few months. Living in Australia, it is sometimes a tad difficult to keep up to date with my favourite singers so this site is truly a veritable gem! Please keep up the wonderful work. Your Aussie Fan, Mardi from David Adams on 04/16/00 Message: April 5, 2000 Dear Stephen, Thanks a million for being part of Spring Forward Against Cancer. In our five short years as a grassroots onprofit fundraising group we have come a long way. Lending your name to this event helped us toward bringing in over $50,000.00 this year, most of which will be distributed locally to support cancer related non-profit organizations and to the Cancer Research Institute. Please be assured that your presence was sincerely appreciated by your fellow musicians and the many others in attendance. We realize some of the shortcomings of our event in terms of presenting artists of your caliber and we apologize for any discomforts. Again, a heart-felt thank you from all of us. Sincerely, David Adams Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group from Linda Armayor Jordan on 04/14/00 Message:Dear Earl, Just wanted to say hello. Life seems to be zooming right along. I'm teaching full time now at Midland College school of Nursing. My husband is still teaching at the college as well and looking for gigs singing opera roles whenever he can. Our oldest son leaves in three weeks for El Salvador to start his two years in the Peace Corp. He graduated from college and wants to travel and work out of the country. Our younger son is the musician in the family. HE studied violin for years and then decided to teach himself the guitar and loves playing the instrument and writes music and plays with a group. They have cut atleast one CD. He is going to college now and enjoys being with his friends jamming. Mother and Daddy are doing fine. They are getting older and will be 86 this year. Rickys son and wife just had a baby boy... Imagine Ricky a grandfather!If by any remote chance you are in the neighborhood for Easter..or any other holiday..or any other regular time we have lots of beds and a big house and would love to have you stay with us.

You ought to write a song about chicken soup, especially when your sick. You are invited to come for Easter--I would love to see you anytime. How is Denny doing. How is the painin his neck?

Hope that you are healthy and happy. from Frank Gonzales on 04/11/00 Message: Hey Stephen. A long-time fan here. Have all your records and cd's, but was wondering about "Pitbull Daycare".

It was not an easy gig; rather than a concert enviroment, a lot of networking goes on at this type of event, but believe me, you got the highest praise that audience has bestowed on a guest artist ever. We were THRILLED to hear you in person, in our little coastal town. We went home and listened to you on vinyl for the rest of the evening. Many, many thanks for coming to Santa Cruz, we are still pinching ourselves! Sue Bowman & Jim Raun-Byberg from David O'Farrell on 03/31/00 Hi Bish, I wish very much to see you in concert,have you any plans to come to Ireland or anywhere in Europe ?? if not I will have to travel to the USA, and one day very soon I will!

I too grew up in So. California, born in West Covina in 1955, raised in The Valley, and began to play guitar around 11 yrs old. Yes, The Beatles, of course it was them!! I moved up to Seattle after High School, and ran headfirst into your "Careless" album, which had a MAJOR effect on me, and my guitar playing. What a touch you have on the Acoustic guitar, what an amazing voice, and yes .. you are an incredible songwriter too. Triple threat. Believe it or not, by 1978 I wanted to be JUST LIKE YOU!! (Except I have a low voice, and can't play guitar as well as you!) I loved your album, "BISH", and still whistle some of those tunes to my 5 year old TWIN daughters, Olivia and Briley. I can't tell you how much respect I have for you, Stephen. In my eyes, you are one of the great ones, really. I now own a recording studio, and have started an indie record label, Hayloft Records, in Milford, CT. Long way from home. Well, I would absolutely LOVE an autographed 8x10 to hang in the studio, if that is something you could do. If not, I totally understand. I certainly DON'T want to be another yahoo who wants a "piece of you". I hope to actually meet you one of these days. I just finished a solo CD, all originals, and I'd love to send you one, just to show you how much you've influenced me. Thanks, Stephen. Thank you very much, for all your hard work, your wonderful, endless sense of humor, and your focus on detail and human emotion.

I Just wanted to say that I truly enjoy your music. You are one of the all time great singer/ songwriters. Your songs have picked me up when I was down and have just made me feel good when I was already happy. You have given me much to aspire to. You see, I am also a singer/songwriter. I've always loved to sing and I guess I can say that you are one of my role models. Anyway, if you care to check out my website it is at http://interbug.com/roxanne All but one of my songs are recorded at home on my digital recording equipment. "If You Could Only See" is one of my favorite songs that I have written and sung. I have several other songs that aren't even recorded yet. I realize that I need to grow as a singer/songwriter, but I think I've got something. I would love some feedback from you if you have a chance to visit my site. However, I know that you are a busy man, and I understand if you cannot. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing more new songs. Here's to continued success! Sincerely, Roxanne Redd from Dave Tough on 01/19/00 Mr. Bishop, Since I first heard your voice on the radio, your music has touched and influenced me. You are one of the few singer-songwriters who took what artists like Bachrach and the Beatles did and improved upon it, making the music your own. Artists like yourself are appreciated too little, but your music is a testament the craft and your songs will live on. I am writing because I am currently an aspiring singer-songwriter in the Los Angeles area (I actually intern with the Director of Creative Services at your publishing company...) I would love to speak with you or sit down and write with you sometime. If you would like to listen to some of my material it can be previewed at www.cdbaby.com/tough (tracks #4 and #6 are especially "Bish-like"). I really look forward to meeting you someday. Take care. Sincerely, Dave Tough from Streaky on 01/15/00 Message: You probably dont remember me, I was the stage manager for "The World Famous Redsox" at Phill Collins' wedding reception last year. I have a couple of great photos of you rehearsing with the band that I will email to directly. Hope all is well with you after the Y2K celebrations. It was great meeting you, if you ever get to Australia in the near future let me know as I am down here working at the Olympics at present. So long will forward photos forthwith.

I recently missed the oportunity to buy the soundtrack of H&S and was wondering if there were any plans to release a soundtrack CD with all the songs you have recorded for film? Thanks for all the years of pleasure your songs have brought me. Kind regards Alex (here in little old England) PS I suppose an album of new material would be asking too much! from melo on 12/28/99 Message: Hello, Mr. Bishop. I really love your songs and music. I am only 15 years old. MY favorite song is "It MIght Be you." I just wanted to ask you if you have a song entitled "Something New in My LIfe." Please reply.

Your song "It Might Be You" has a lot of sentimental value for both of us and the time when we met in law school...I was wondering if you were planning on ever playing anywhere near Miami next year? ... Any chance I can convince you to play the song at my wedding?...kidding...would like to know if you are performing here any time soon though!

I guess it was on TV in Iowa. This was my first time to see you perform live; I was impressed. I've been a fan since I bought Careless in '76. I'm always looking for your stuff. Hopefully I can look forward to new things soon. If you have anything to sell... I'm buying! Thanks for listening, Kevin. from gary stein on 12/19/99 Message:Now Bish, I dont wanna stir up trouble 'cause Diane Warren is probably a pal of yours, BUT ---have you heard JoDee's latest single (I think it's "Because You Loved Me")? Tell me that is not HEAVILY influenced (yeah,that's the non-judgemental,politically correct word to use here!) by "Rock N'Roll Slave"! I have always felt that if the title of that song had been changed over the years to something a little more contemporary, it could have been a true standard.Thanks for always being the source of joy and pleasure in my musical life!

Make more records! from Red Ledge on 12/16/99 Dear Mr. Bishop, Greetings! I have been a fan of yours for years and have always admired your songwriting. It is very direct, honest and moving. I have Blue Guitars (another classic:-) and was wondering when you are going to produce another record? Have you ever considered doing a live album? Be well, be safe and Become! yours, Red Ledge from hector on 12/13/99 Message: I have ever loved this song, but I have never found the lyric. Could you send this to me, please?

Bill from James Fulcher on 12/11/99 Message:Why is this impossible to get. I have searched all the web (US & Europe). Have you ever played in the UK and are there any plans to come over in the future. I have always felt that when music is at its best you cannot explain it as it is pure emotion - thanks for many years of pure emotion. Jim from Mary Jo on 12/08/99 Message:Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Well Bish gang, I am not sure how to start this. The whole thing is kinda surreal to me. I drug my kids and mom to rural Virginia to see Bish perform at Longwood College. I couldn't believe my good fortune when I saw a VA date! And only 4 hours from DC. His dates are posted on a webpage called Pollstar something or other. Eamil me if you want the address. Anyway, I would have never known about this show, as Longwood advertised only on campus. There were no posters in the town, no advance publicity...the local radio station played Bish on and off all day. That was the extent of the promtion. The box office manager was quite tolerant of my ravings. She even reserved seats for us in the front row. There were about 50 people in the audience...I swear I had felt like I was dreaming....my own private Bish concert. To introduce Bish a comotose college student came out and read some notes from a crumpled sheet of paper. I was dying inside. I wanted to stand up and scream..."THIS IS FREAKIN STEPHEN BISHOP! MAKE AN EFFORT!!!!" I got over that when he came out. Funny leopard shoes, cool polka dot shirt, smart ass smirk on his face...my 9 year old grabbed my arm and said that she didn't expect him to be so handsome! I don't think that I did either. He opened with PARKED CARS and after that it goes blurry for me. I have heard people say things like pinch me, but I swear I couldn't believe it. I had never felt so light headed and dreamy. (I know how that sounds, indulge me!) He was quite funny, doing impressions, relating cool stories, most that went over the locals heads. Do they know where Spago is in Farmville? His voice is so pretty and I kept thinking how can a guitar sound so full and rich. He sang the biggies, but also threw in things like ANIMAL HOUSE and KING OF TONGA. He came out for his encore, waiting patiently until the nursing home ladies exited into the lobby. The whole thing got even better when he took requests. I couldn't shut up any longer. I shouted out BLONDE STREET...then I shouted, "Please play your most autobiographical song MY CLARINET!" He smiled and called my choice eclectic. Cool. Anyway can die happy now, I have heard Stepehn Bishop sing my fav line of all time...."I feel like the Z in xylophone tonight." He gave BLONDE STREET a try.... Afterwards he came out into the lobby to meet and greet. He actually asked for the girl who requsted BLONDE STREET. Oh my God, that's me!!!!! I haven't felt 16 in a long time, but for the next 30 minutes I was 16 again. People asked Bish questions, many I found a little trite, but I bit my tongue. I was a little pushy, helping to answer questions a couple times, making Bish look at me like..."..how the hell did you know that?" He signed my cool 3-D Bish poster circa the BISH album, was charming to my little girls and mom. He thanked me for making the trip. I tried awfully hard not to look like an obessed fan, but what the hell, these kind of opportunities don't come along often. I know that I am leaving out details, but I am still so numb from the whole thing. Check out the Pollstar website, find a Bish concert near you...make a vacation out of it like we did. God, I sound like a commercial. Hey Steve, hire me! I'd work for free and I am a hell of a PR person. Anyone else who stumbles on this message, if you haven't bought BLUE GUITARS, order it online today. It is superb. Happy Christmas. Thanks a billion Stepehn Bishop, you sure didn't let me down! from Gonzalo Roqué on 12/07/99 Message: I saw you in Córdoba, Argentina and I star to love your songs. I want to play your songs with my guitar. Where can I get the tones of them? Specially of the "It might be you". Thank you Stephen. Gonzalo. PD: Ahhh! My girlfriend has a lot of friends and she told me in your next visit she will introduce them (they are gorgous!!) from Billy Brown on 12/06/99 Bish: Congrats on the new web page look. It looks great. Looking forward to some new tunes. How's the Ferrington holding up? from Ed Treacy on 12/06/99 Message: Bish, Thank you so much for enriching my life with your music. No one writes a lovesong like you, in your own inimitable style, and I am always waiting for new material from you. I have been a fan of your music since the earliest days of your career. Being a (retired) songwriter myself, I have always looked up to you for inspiration, tips and such, and when folks used to tell me I sounded like you I ALWAYS took it as a compliment. "On and On" was ALWAYS a mainstay in any of my shows, and usually got the biggest hand, and a fair amount of TIPS in th etip jar! And as an acoustic guitarist, you are one of the best in the biz in my opinion. The 'Blue Guitars' CD only proved to me AGAIN, how masterful and underrated you really are. But tell me, when are you gonna hit NYC so I can see your in person?! You NEVER play here...why? I have heard from my online buddies Scott Gross and Billy Brown that you put on a great show...I have been waiting half my life to see you live. Again, THANKS Bish, and best wishes to you in the future. Ed Treacy from Patrick Stibbs on 12/04/99 Message: Hey, Stephen! Just wanted to say hi! I had the pleasure of interviewing you several years ago at your home ("Bishville" I believe you called it) Jeff was playing piano downstairs--how is he ("When Someone Doesn't Want You", still one of my favorites). Any chance of ever getting a copy of the demos you did with Todd Rundgren producing? Would love to hear it! My e-mail isn't set up yet, so please send a reply to my friend at from Pam on 12/04/99 Message:Hi!Steven, I think your music is really awesome!! I'm learning to write lyrics and I admire your talent very much. I have a dis ability and hope I can make it,cause that is my dream. Take Care,and God Bless,&more Gold records to you!! Pam(a big fan!) from Alan Sheehan on 12/03/99 Message: Bish Any new CD happening soon. Why not come to Melbourne and write a song about either what a beautiful place it is or how nice the girls are All the best Alan from Martin Caulfield on 11/28/99 Message:Hi again, Forgot to ask u last time.

I just started learning about a year ago, and while I am doing pretty good on finding the way the song should sound, I could certainly use and appriciate if you would help me out. I would love it if you could send me the chords or tabulature to study. This IS for personal use,and not going tobe posted on the net. I only want to learn how to play some of your songs. If you can help me out it would be great. Thank you, Bradley from Joe R. Kosinski on 10/21/99 Message: I am a huge fan of your music and writing Mr. Bishop. Being 20 years old, many of my friends do not appreciate the type of well written/structured songs that you have made. I love them, especially from Bowling in Paris and your more recent albums and greatest hits. I can't imagine what it was like for you to work with Clapton and Collins Sting, and many more, as well as write with Steve Perry, just to name a few. A friend of mine saw you at a conference for college in Nashville earlier this year (99') and said your performance was very good, even though she had only heard about you a little.

The background color is even well chosen to be easy on the eyes. I'd found this site by a link on the Jimmy Webb "webbsite". Another great artist, such as yourself, Michael MacDonald, Andrew Gold, and a few others who haven't forgotten the great art of songwriting and it's importance. Long after the trends fade, your songs remain as timeless classics. And the newer songs continue that tradition. Yes, it's me, the same one doing the Kevin Gilbert Tribute album. His offical website is being construced by his estate at www.kevingilbert.com. It will be a place his re-released music will be released from, as well as the Tribute, hopefully. It's amazing how movie soundtracks today either follow trends, or reach way back and become oldies collections. It's too bad since there are still so many great artists such as yourself are doing the songs that would be perfect for them. Each capturing that difficult emotion. And saying in music what words could never say. As a songwriter myself, I know there is no better feeling than to be able to say it in a song. Keep up the great work my friend. from debbie on 10/10/99 Message: SHUCKS!!!!!!.....IF YOU ONLY KNEW!!!!!!........ I'D FAINT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! LOVE ALL YOUR SONGS AND YOUR BESPECTACLED EYES!!!!!!!!......... from suzanne lavender on 09/30/99 so you are still out there somewhere. that's good news. i have never seen you perform, but would love the opportunity. do you send out any kind of schedule so that i might find you? I live in dallas, but do a lot of traveling (i'm in theater) so maybe we would end up nearby at some point. i saw you on politically incorrect a while back, but hadn't seen you prior to that in a while...but figured you were up to something. good to know you're around and performing and writing. a lot of your songs mean a lot to me. thanks! from Laurin on 09/30/99 Message: Hi Stephen. I actually came across your website by accident, but I am glad to have found it. I have always enjoyed your music and songwriting. Take care! Laurin from Kristoperson D. Laguatan on 09/27/99 Mr. Bishop, I'm an independent songwriter-arranger in the Philippines, and I would like to give you a love song I wrote that is suited to your style. It is titled "I Wrote This One For You." It's a personal song of mine and you've been a strong influence in this song, in style and ideas. It's hard to have a break here in the Philippines so I would like to personally give songs to artist. If you are interested, please contact me at my e-mail. Hope I could hear from you soon, sir. Thank you, (and `Send A Little Love My Way'.) from Costantino Amici on 09/24/99 Message:Ciao Steven, (long time friend) the first time I met your music was in 1982,during a high school trip.Somebody brought a tape of the A.Garfunkel "BREAKAWAY" and my 2 favourite songs were yours.Then I came across you again on roman nightime radio wich played the mindblowing "Fool At Heart"(but they didn't say it was you).Anyway as soon as it cames on the air I lunged to record it.Soon I work it out on the guitar and started playng it to every girl I wanted to impress (success was garanteed). Then in 1983 during a holyday in Greece,I heard in an english pub a badly recorded tape playing the songs of "BISH".God forgive me!! I stole the tape without thinking twice !!and when I listened to it again,I reencoutered "Fool at heart","Loosing myself in you","Looking for the right 1"..all the songs I mostly was in love with,but anonymous.EUREKA!!So this was the very same "Fool at heart" genius!! (during my long music-listener carreer I never heard an album so well arranged,performed,composed...).Soon I started to assiduosly track down your first 3 LP (wich I re-bought 10 years later as CD).After divoring these albums I launced the hunt for everything and anything like your music style: thus I run into Marc Jordan,B.LaBounty,Frank Weber,K.Bonoff,Leah Kunkel,N.Doheny,D.Donohue,Pages,Rufus,Caldwell,Art,Boz,K.Loggins,Andrew Gold (I consider "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE" and "ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO"a bad copy of your own)....and many many others.A lot of very good music,but the best of the bests remains Bish…..BUT: I don’t like “BOWLIN’IN PARIS”(I hate drum-machines and digital-synthesizers),songs are nice,but duff arrangiaments killed them.The only good P.Collins production is John Martyn’s “GLORIOUS FOOL”.I also find “B.G.”weak and tiresome,nothing like the masterpieces on “CARELESS”,”BISH”&”RED CAB..” I hope you don’t mind my criticism.Now I have some requests: 1°)A detailed complete list of songs you written for other artists, printed on your web-site.(Frida (Tell Me It’s Over),L.Kunkel(Jamaican Moon),A.Garfunkel(Sail On A Rainbow),K.Loggins (Give It Half Chance),B.Streisand,K.Rankin,P.Snow,J.Cole(??)…also your vocal performances like in R.Newman,B.LaBounty…. 2°)Issue a CD with your early undercovered songs and songs like above sang by you.Maybe for your net-fans? 3°)Please,help me to buy “SLEEPING WITH GIRLS”,I’m desperately seeking this record. 4°)Where,when,how did you learned playng acoustic guitar so well.Did you study in a jazz school during the early ‘70s? 5°)Will we ever see you perform in Italy ?

I am a longtime admirer of your work, and wondered what you were up to, as a songwriter. it's a little odd to be able to communicate with you like this, but I'd just love to know what's happening. I'm not a stalker or a weirdo or anything--I'm a forty one year old married television director living in NYC (married to a musician, acutally) I've used your stuff to score shows and segments I've done, and really think it's wonderful. Have you heard of a songwriter named Adam Guettel? He's the grandson of Richard Rodgers, has a CD out called Myths and Hymns on which he performs a few of his songs, although most of the material is covered by New York theatre singers. Anyway, my husband and I went to see him at New York's Town Hall a few months ago, and someone sitting alongside of me commented that he sings like "Mark Bishop"--I said, no, you must mean Stephen Bishop, and the gentleman said yes, and recollected how much he loved your songs and singing. Boy, this is getting long...anyway, I personally think Adam Guettel sounds like Art Garfunkle, but you would probably enjoy his work. He also wrote a gorgeous complex musical called Floyd Collins--if you hear only one "man trapped in a cave during the depression" musical this year, Floyd Collins is the one you must have in your collection. One other thought--do you think the guys in Ben Folds Five listened to your stuff a lot growing up? I sure do. This must sound very dopey and rambling. Sorry. I am just so very glad to have the opportunity to tell your personally how much your music continues to resonate in my mind and life, and say thank you for your hard work--I know it is not easy to do what you do. With gratitude--Julie from on 07/04/99 Message: WHERE CAN I GET THE LYRICS OF YOUR SONGS? I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOUR MUSIC AND I WISH YOU WILL SHARE US SOME MORE.

Has your song, The Heart Is So Willing, from the movie, The Money Pit, ever been released on a CD? Thanks, Pete from Michael D. Fuentes on 07/02/99 Message: Hi Stephen, I've been a fan since 1976 when I heard on and on. I thought then and I still think today that your vocal style and range is very unique and inspiring. I often play your greatest hits and practice singing with you. My 7yr. old and 4yr old especially like madge's guitar solo... London Bridges. Do you remember? Anyways I was wondering if I could somehow get lyrics and chord progressions for your songs. Thanks again for all of the songs and memories you have givin me throughout the years. I've just found your site and think it is very cool and now part of my bookmark. Peace, Mike Fuentes from Paul Rodgers on 06/30/99 Message:Greetings from a Brit in Boulder, CO Many moons ago (reckon it must have been '77) I vaguely recall an Old Grey Whistle Test special featuring one Mr Bish at home...my girlfriend on that occassion had other entertainment on her mind and I never did get to see very much...assuming, as usual, that the 'Beeb' would repeat it sooner or later.....well they never, knowingly, did and I was wondering if any record still remains???......p.s. was the lovely lady on the cover of Bish really the Sara of the Stevie nicks song?? pps.

R from Paul Samrah on 06/20/99 Message: Thanks for cheering me with your music on my way to work - the Best of CD is excellent and sadly is not featured on many UK radio music shows. Little Italy has to be one of my favourites. Your records are very difficult to come by over in the UK, are you planning on releasing anything in the near future? Thanks for the music - which lives on and on! Best wishes from sleepy Sussex, England. Paul from Franklin P. Johnston on 06/15/99 Message:Phil Collins was on "The Howard Stern Show" some short time ago and he mentioned YOU as an artist HE looked up to!!! from Chris Hoffman on 06/09/99 Message: Bish, I would like to say that since a very early age when I first heard "On and On" that your music has captivated me. Your songs seem to walk with me through life like a true friend. One that I can always turn to. I remember falling in love for the first time and hearing "Walking On Air" and feeling that you captured what I was experiencing at that space in time. I find that many people know your music but not who you are and then there are some that are not familiar with you at all. I try to turn people on to your music any chance I get. I always get a reaction when I will be playing your "Best of" and they hear "Seperate Lives" or Walking on Air" and comment on how wonderful that is and who it is. I am glad to be able to somehow give back to you by this simple gesture of spreading your music to the people I come in contact with. It is my way of saying Thank You for being there for me through your music. I also am including you in my forthcoming book, Children of the 80's, not only as a tribute but also as one of the most prolific songwriters from that decade. Again, Thank You for your music and please keep on going strong... Chris Hoffman author Children of the 80's from Anita on 05/28/99 Message:Dear Mr. Bishop: I was SUPER glad when you came to Argentina to play in a TVshow called "Ritmo de la Noche" in 1992. There it was announced that you would come back to play in a Theatre... I'm still waiting for that day to arribe. I love your songs!!!!! I grew up listenig to them! Please, If you have the chance to include my county in your tour, I'm sure there will be a lot of people there!!!! Keep playing your great songs!!!!

Steffen on 05/18/99 Message: Stephen, I'm a big fan of yours. I have all the music you have ever made, but I need more! Is there any recordings that I can purchase that have not been released? Blue Guitars is good, but I've had it now for probably almost two years. I still think that "parked cars" is your best tune. I never get sick of listening to it. I love how the piano mimmicks the melody for a lenghty period at the end of the song. I practice law in Las Vegas and have your cd's playing in the office all the time. I've converted several to be "Bish" fans. I think your best music is your romantic stuff. I don't care as much for your off-beat type of music (king of Tonga, etc.) Although "Blonde Street" kind of fits into that category and I love that song. Thanks for the great music and please let me know if there is some way to get my hands on some of your music that is not available in stores. One album every several years just doesn't cut it! from Peejay Reyes on 05/13/99 Message:Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I was just surfing around for lyrics to your songs. Then I saw a link that said "More of Stephen Bishop". So, I clicked on it and was surprised to find out that you had your own webpage. It's a great website. I've also posted a message on your "Bishtro" page. Hope you read it. from Kim Dopp on 05/11/99 Stephen--I love the website. I was digging through all the possible methods of finding a CD copy of the album "Bish" when it occurred to me that maybe fandom had actually thrown up some sites dedicated to you. I was surprised to find an personal home page. The album was especially huge for me at a time when every song hit right at home...I see some cuts available on compilations, but the flow of the album as it was on vinyl (which SHE took) and old blue cassette (which finally expire) was just perfect. (Well actually I always played side two first!) Anyway I produced a cover version of "Looking for the Right One" from memory. When we play it live I use the "If I Only Had a Brain" intro from the other side. (It's the outro as well). The arrangement always knocks their socks off. Other portions of their attire become visibly disheveled if I miss that high note when the chorus comes back in after the "yes I really know..."interlude. I have no idea if that album was as powerful personally to you as other more successful albums were, but just knowing the impact it had on me, and the emotional impact it had on others when I played it for them, I hope you remember the project with fondness. And I thank you for all the work and creativity you and your associates have put into every album you've ever done. Continue to go and grow as always! Come play Salt Lake. from jeff kuhn on 04/29/99 Message: Mr. Bishop, I was certainly an honor and a thrill to have a chance to listen and meet you at your show in Lawerenceburg. My wife and I enjoyed speaking with you. Your autograph will hang proudly in our house. I can't wait till the "An Evening with Stephen Bishop" CD is released. Surely you've thought about it.

When "On And On " first came out it was the only time my mom and I liked a song together. What a bonding moment. When the movie "Tootsie" came out and the part of the movie where "It Might Be You' is playing, I thought to myself only a song that you wrote could make that scene touching. I love your music so much. I always listen to your Greatest Hits tape and I love it. I can't wait to hear all your new stuff too. Take care and keep doing your thing.

I think you, Michael Johnson, Andrew Gold and a few others should get together, kind of like an acoustic version of the Traveling Wilburys. You each have distinctive voices and you are all VERY talented. You guys are NOT makin' enough music! There is a market for artist's and music like yours!

Now I can keep up on where to see you. My vivid memory of hearing "Separate Lives" LIVE before the Phil Collins release (in a small club in Arizona) is one I'll never forget! That and being one of the audience you invited to stay en masse for the second show that night!! I will ALWAYS treasure all of your music as very instrumental (no pun intended) in my evolution to adulthood. I want to wish the VERY BEST always to the "Man in Plaid"!, and I hope one day our paths cross again!

I would love to get another copy if it still exists in print. Thanks, Joe Kostyk. p.s.

Have I got something 4 you! AN OOP, EXCEEDINGLY RARE unopened cassette of a soundtrack that Bish appears on. It's so rare that it's not even included in his DISCOGRAPHY!!

The double album {on cassette} also contains songs by Cheap Trick {Everything works if you let it}, Pat Benatar {You Better Run}, the late Eddie Rabbitt {Drivin' My Life away}, Roy orbison & Emmylou Harris { That lovin' you feelin' again} also songs by Styx, Blondie, Hank Williams Jr., Alice Cooper, Teddy Pendergrass, Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep At The Wheel, Jay Ferguson, Joe Ely Band and more!!!! Of course the big name is BISH!! You can own this rare tape from 1980 on Warner Bros. records. Email me if you're interested. I only have one!

I was really happy to see you in person and hear you sing live. I was glad to hear you sing one of my favorite songs, "Never letting go". If and when you go back to Manila for another concert, I will definitely be there. Thank you for making my pre-Valentine's day special (even if I didn't have a date). Abby from eminette on 02/12/99 Message: How was your concert here in the Philippines? How do you find the people here? I wasn't able to watch, so I decided to send you an e-mail. Your songs really changed some people's life. from Akihiro Noda on 02/10/99 Dear Bish, I feel very happy to know your original site when surfing on the Internet. Recently I listen to your best album "On and On" again and am relaxed and regain the power to live in my hard daily work (since I am an office worker). In Japan singer/songwriter(s) are highly estimated also in the Adult Contemporary: for example Randy Goodrum Cds are released only in Japan. I like Goodrum songs too, but find your songs better because you sing well and play acoustic guitars well, although he does not necessarily sing well. I love "I go numb" best in the latest album because that song is very clear and serene. Am heartfully looking forward to releasing new album subsequent to "Blue Guitar." Akihiro from Japan from Ada Emeralda on 02/09/99 Message: Hi, I'm looking for the lyric of (You'll Always Be My) Heart And Soul. Can you help me? Thanks a lot from Hazel Padilla on 02/09/99 Hi! Just want to tell you how much i admire your work. Good thing that we were given the chance to see you together with Michael Johnson and David Pomeranz perform here in our country, Philippines. Hope you did enjoy your stay and was able to see some of the beautiful places we got. Your music is very popular in our country. Hope you'll continue to make good music which I'm telling you is worth every penny we pay for the cds or cassettes. Take care and best of health to you and your family. You are always welcome to come back in our country.

I'm not quite sure why, except that I loved the song when it was a hit. It just made me feel good. I never had the record (or 8 track *g*), but my next trip to the CD superstore...I'm going to look for your greatest hits. I'm kinda jazzed that you have your own homepage.

I hope you will have the chance to send me a reply and write me the next line of my favorite song. I just want to know if I am realll writing to my favorite male vocalist. Of course I also love "Separate Lives", "On and On", and some more from your On and On album (I was just disappointed that I can't find my most favorite one on any other CD's). I also listen to Kenny Rankin's version of On and On but for me, yours remain the best. Your songs are very popular in the Philippines and I remember growing up with "Might" and my favorite. Until here I wish you good luck in all your endeavor and hope I could watch your concert (if there's any). I've written you twice in the mail but the first one went back to me and the second one, I got no response.

What's a guy like you doin' at Foundation anyway? Blue Guitars? Classic. No one can write a brokenhearted lovesong like you, man. You helped me through my divorce, but me ex still got the house. Why?

Lookin' up at you with The Big Eyes of Unconditional Love saying, "Hey, man! Take me for a walk and throw the Frisbee a little and I'll love you forever!! How's your wife? Are you still in love? Still in love! Still in love with youooooooouuuu! Do you ever think of, uh...that actreess with the danish on her head? She had danish on her head in that one movie. See, Bish, I think about food a lot. Listen man, I love you. I really do. Our lives parallel (oh, if you only knew!). Take it easy. Keep on making that great music (all your life) and....

Hope to hear even just a single word from you ..: ) from toots on 09/03/98 Message: This song would always inspire me..:) It reminds me of many things...:) Btw , I have been searching for a midi file of this song but I haven't seen any ...can u help me where i can download a midi file??? from John Hills on 09/03/98 Message: I began collecting your albums in '76 and have every one since, so I am a true fan. It has been hard to hunt these things down. Now I have moved to South Africa it ain't gettin' easier. My question is: Is there any Bish on Video, or a live performance tape or C.D.? Of course, I'll take whatever there is. Also, Bish doing an album of standards - voice and guitar/piano mostly with subtle back up would be a winner for me. Tunes by the greatest American composers: Berlin, Gershwin, Rogers & Hammerstein etc. Comments? from Jennifer on 09/01/98 Dear Stephen, I noticed that you will be performing in Park Forest, IL on November 11. Since you'll already be in the Midwest, would you consider performing in Bloomington, IN? Our wonderful college town would love to hear you live and in person! :) Best wishes, Jennifer from pierre borgel on 08/31/98 Message:pourquoi pas un concert à paris? nous serons là à bientot from max zape on 08/24/98 Message:Just picked up blue guitars and I dig it...I was wondering How can I get the book (here in San Diego...homeboy) and when are you gonna do the cable access show to discuss the book and songwriters (I believe it was COX Cable 24) from TONY HOLYOAK on 08/23/98 Message:ANY CHANCE OF DOING A TOUR OF BRITAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

Barns of Wolf Trap woud be a good acoustic venue. I did enjoy Blue Guitars... first two songs particularly, and the cover of Romeo and Juiliet. I purchased it some time ago, I think a year or more ago along with a "best of" that was new. Essentially, I have always enjoyed your music. Careless is a classic and Bowling in Paris was great! Don't ever stop! from Carlo Sanelli on 08/08/98 Steven your site is great. I am a song writer (Part Time) Singer Musician who has seen your book at Star Bucks in Toronto Canada. It's a great book and its great that you share it with the world. Steven please visit my website on my music at http://www.interlog.com/~cgibin/songs/index.html from Cyn on 08/06/98 Message:Hi, I am in search of my grandfather on my mothers side. Mother born in 1947, adopted at birth. All she knows is birth father last name Bishop, was in millitary in Calif when mother conceived. Any clues let me know. Thanks Cyn from Amund Enger on 07/28/98 Message:Dear Stephen Bishop. This letter is first of all a "thank you letter". A thank you I've wanted to give for many years. When I still hear songs like "One more night" and "Madge", the words and music appeals to my own melancholy in a way that I want to cry (and still do). Not because of sadness,but because they are some of the most beautiful songs that I know of. My name is Amund and in all modesty I'm a songwriter with Warner Chappel Music,Norway. I live in Oslo, and I also happen to be a friend of Art Garfunkel. We happened to meet back in -75,when he was visiting my country after having finished the "Breakaway" album. It was the first trip he and Laurie (Bird) did together. Anyway, for the reason that explained earlier in the letter,or may be I should say: because of "Careless" I believe that many of my own songs is inspired in some way by yours. Another word for this could be a kind of "musical soulmates". Especially when it comes to ballads. I only wish, just for the hell of it, that you could hear one of mine. Having said that, honestly I know you probably get to hear from a lot of so called songwriters who would want you to give your opinion on their songs. Personally I hate doing that myself. But I'm not interested in whether you think the song is good or bad, just whether you can hear that "spiritual rememblance". (God, this must sound like a religious speech or something.) However, by now you have probably made up your mind anyway,so..... I shall close now, and just say: Keep up the good work in the future.And thank you again for the songs you gave birth to. They will live on forever. Yours sincerely Amund CIAO! from Søren Eigaard on 07/28/98 Message:Dear Bish, Just a brief hello from a danish fan. Love your music. First heard your songs via Art Garfunkel albums, but now I got all your albums. By the way - your two first albums are now together as an anthology here in Europe, called Introduction to Stephen Bishop. Did you have anything to do with that product or is it just the company? One last thing: Write more songs for yourself and other singers (Art Garfunkel et. al.) Love form Søren in Denmark from Jeannette C. Schein on 07/27/98 Message: I wrote you a personal note too but just wanted to say I love your music & it's great that you're finally getting the recognition you deserve for all your years of fantastic music you've given us all. THANKIS BISH, YOU'RE THE BEST!!! from david schulhof on 07/20/98 Message:Do you have an album? from lorenzo on 07/15/98 Message:I couldnt find anything about you in your home page..I like your songs a lot but I dont have an idea How you started, your inspirations,it would definitely be a nice page if you had your biography in it..thanks from Marc Phillip Yablonka on 07/10/98 Message:Thanks for all the great songs. (used to write reviews for FOLKSCENE MAGAZINE years and years ago. Remember it?). from mariel on 07/08/98 Message: I really miss your songs a lot, esp. those in your On and On album! They are seldom played here in Hamburg and I don't have my cd with me... I left it at home, in Manila... anyway, it was really cool to hear some of them again here... from EDDIE CUNNINGHAM on 07/06/98 Message: STEVE I LOVE YOU'RE MUSIC AND YOU INSPIRE ME GREATLY CAN WE EVER WRITE FOR MY NEW C.D.? IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE EDDIE C. SEE ME AT JACKS SUGAR SHACK JULY 14TH PLEASE COME EDDIE C. from Alan Hesford on 07/06/98 Message: thanks for a great site & the chance to find out what's new etc. from Dennis Deja on 06/29/98 Message: Are "RED CAB"..."BISH"...& "SLEEPING WITH GIRLS" every gonna make it to cd in America???? from Bill Brown on 06/24/98 Message: Stephen Bishop rules!! A great singer and songwriter and if there's anyone who doesn't agree, then I have no choice but to ring your doorbell and run. Favorite songs include "Wall Around Your Heart" "Separate Lives" "Careless" "Red Cab to Manhattan" and "Parked Cars". Hats off to a tremendous talent...and let's remember that Stephen has been through a lot. From having Belushi rip a guitar out of his hands, to breaking his watch in the Blues Brothers. Keep the faith all you Bish fans!! from Marc on 06/24/98 Message: Am a past (& present) fan and plan on checking out the new CD; sounds like a great lineup. Also wondering if there's a site, or some other way, to obtain music? Specifically, the music for "It Might Be You." Thanks much. Marc from Tom Fiddler on 06/24/98 Message: This is my first visit back in awhile. This is groovy page! You're probably sick of answering questions like these so I will try and make it as painful as possible. I was curious about the inspiration and circumstances surrounding the songs, "Looking For The Right One", "Madge", and "Loosing Myself In You". If there is some recording of yours where you answer these I'll pick it up (I would anyway!) and read it there. If not and you have the time and don't mind telling me, that would be cool! Your music is an inspiration to me as a songwriter and I just want to say thanks for doing what you do and for all the music and memories that I and my friends have! We'd love to catch one of your performances! When are you going to be out and about? Be well and be safe!

I went to see your live concert in Tokyo in 1992(maybe) That was the best live concert I've ever seen. You were all by yourself with your guitar.(I'm not sure if it was blue guitar. Maybe not) I love your songs. Take care. I am looking forward to hearing your new album soon. E-mail from Tokyo, Japan from Andrew Butterfield on 06/23/98 Message: I've been a big fan since Careless . I started with the vinyl and then I paid a huge sum for on Japanese import since it's only been available on CD in the UK for a while... oh well, it was worth it. I was so excited when I heard about Blue Guitars, and interested to see contributions from Andrew Gold and co. Love the new version of Separate Lives. Do we have to wait another 6 or 7 years for a new album? from Lisa Booth on 06/22/98 Message:I was a school kid when I first heard your sweet voice sing ON and On,I also loved your lyrical work. I now have written tons of songs,2 have been published...I'd love to send you a demo,because I think our voices would blend beautifully. Please feel free to send any feedback..(770)649-0791 I'm in Atlanta,Ga from Mack Partain on 06/20/98 Message:Just wanted you to know that we are out here listening and hoping you never run out of reasons to write and sing. Been here since the '70's. Always enriched by what you do. Thanks. Mack ,a picker from paul reilly on 06/16/98 Message:I am so thrilled to find you on line! If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have found out about your blue guitars album. Sorry if this seems rambling but I'm writing on the Hackensack Library computer. I'm so thrilled you "reteamed" with Andrew Gold. It is my dream for you to tour with him and Eric Carmen. In the early eighties, I collected all your albums at a discount in local stores like Caldor's and now defunct Harmony Hut. I feel a special affinity with you because I grew up in North Hollywood, California. My new job is constantly quoting you singing to Belushi in Animal House . I'd only seen the movie this past year, even though I'm 31. "Blue Guitars" was a birthday present. I'd given up on looking for your stuff after the "Best of Bish" collection. About the only fanatical thing I own is a video of you appearing on the Late Show from early Fox TV in a astronaut suit. Anyways, please consider touring with Andrew and with Eric Carmen. I think Eric would've loved your version of "Romeo and Juliet" and Andrew played on his Boats Against The Current Album. Please excuse me sounding like an unabashed fan. I've never written letters to people I've enjoyed (from Randy Newman to Prince) but somehow I feel the internet will get this stuff to you. Thanks for all the music. I don't follow Phil Collins career much lately because of all the times the Bish couldn't make it. Finally, here's my address to send me anything (I don't have E-mail): Paul Reilly, 250 Rochelle Avenue #C-10, Rochelle Park, NJ 07662. Thanks again! P.S. Andrew Gold's website led me here and I hope to send him a fan letter soon, also mentioning the concert idea. The only credit I want is for you guys to be out there performing for your fans again! from Stig-Audun Hansen on 06/15/98 Message:Dear Bish! I've been a long time fan of yours. Since i got my hands on "Red cab to Manhattan" i was hooked. That was a ear-opener to the wonderful world of harmonies. You, Brian Wilson, Bacharach, McCartney etc. I hope you know that you're sideman to the greatest song-writers in the our time? from Yvonne Zazzara-Krzysztow on 06/10/98 Message: I am desparately trying to get my hands on the cd "Best of Bish" and have been told it's out of print. Can you help me? Yvonne from Ann on 06/09/98 Message: I heard on the radio today that you will be appearing in Chicago on Friday, June 12 at the Charlestown Mall in St Charles, Il. Is this true? Can it be? They said you will be giving a seminar on the Art of Songwriting as well as performing some of your new songs. WOW, can't wait. You are awesome. I've loved your music for years and this will be a real treat since I've never seen you perform. They said the time for your performance will be from 7pm to 8:15pm. See you there. from nozomu nakada on 06/05/98 hello! i am your fun from japan. 4years ago ,i saw your live at akasa. with my wihe.(i saw your live 2 times, your 1st live in japan too) now we have a baby,1 years. i play your cd ,sometimes. i want hear your new song and album. good bye!: from on 06/04/98 Message: from charlie on 05/30/98 I'm a big fan here in the Philippines.

Loved all the songs like "One More Night", "Looking For The Right One", "Never Letting Go", "Separate Lives" ( I love both version acoustic and the one from Mr. Collins) and etc.. I got two buddies who also fell in love with your songs after hearing your CD, they said you have a beautiful voice and beautiful songs, and it's true!!! don't you think so? I have one last question here, Mr. Bishop are you a close friend to Mr. Collins? I read that both of you were met at Mr. Clapton's house...you both still keep in touch with each other? because I'm a big of Mr. Collins too, I wanted to whether he has an e-mail address, if he do have one, may I have it?? Your Biggest Fan. ChinWei Malaysia. from AREZ REODICA on 05/02/98 Message: Hello there! I'm an avid Filipino fan of yours and I really love your songs especially your song "Separate Lives"! I love the way 'twas made! Especially the guitar accompaniment. "It Might Be You" is another lovely one! If it isn't too much, may I request from the man the chord progressions of these songs? Lately I've been on this guitar thing, and I'm trying to play songs to improve my repertoire. Please reply.

Had no clue who you're or any songs that you performed. Except "It Might Be You", I heard that song once on the radio. I love that song. The lyrics is good and the way you performed is good. Just to let you know, I think that song will become a classic in the future. from on 04/27/98 Message: from on 04/24/98 Message:thank god you're here!

Randy Murray from Sue on 04/23/98 Message:I was driving home today and heard you on the Johnny B show from Chicago. I quickly dialed the station only to find out that you weren't taking calls and were not appearing anywhere in Chi town soon. WHAT A HUGE LET-DOWN!!!! I have to know if you are going to be performing here (Chicago) any time soon. I first heard you on American Bandstand singing "On and On" in the mid 70's and complete flipped over your music. I purchased "Careless" and "Bish" on LP years ago and since then made a custom cassette to listen to and sing to in the car. Please let me know when you'll be in town to perform. Sincerely.....A LONG-TIME fan!!!!!! from DAVID O'FARRELL on 04/17/98 Message:HELLO MR.BISHOP.I HAVE BEEN A FAN SINCE I SEEN YOU ON UK TV IN 1978, I THEN BOUGHT "BISH",SINCE THEN CARELESS TOOTSIE,ARTUR,BOWLING IN PARIS,ON & ON HITS,I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT BLUE GUITARS.SO HAPPY TO BE SENDING THIS!!

What I'd like to see is Stephen's biography and some more lyrics, so I can play them on my guitar. Good luck and a lot of fun Greetings, Marcel Luntungan from Ted Hoffman on 04/03/98 Message: Great CD...very soothing (as usual), bit of a nocturnal touch (and that's a good thing). Glad to hear you hadn't disappeared! from Vince Canty on 04/03/98 Message: Dear Stephen ..I have followed your career since I was in High School back in 1976, the first time I heard On and On ,it was "powerplay" on radio Luxembough, played on the hour every hour, I bought it , it was on ABC I think every minute was on the flip, I was only fifteen but loved it as soon as I heard it.. and still do. When I started work I went to the local record store to purchase the album with the track on and on, they had to order it , when it came it wasn't Careless, they sent Bish which I thought was a superb record I eventually purchased Careless... but then nothing for about three years , then I bought Red Cab, I did notice the cameo appearances in Animal House and the Blues Brothers, You vanished off the face of the Earth as far as the UK was concerned I tried in vain to purchase Bish on CD, Careless is quite easy to obtain , but Bish is nigh impossible. As I write this I am listening to Blue Guitars which I purchased last year on mailorder import. And just recently I purchased " An Introduction" on Half Moon Records which has most of Bish on it but not the " If I only had a brain " which I love. Steve if you ever get to read this, thankyou for some beautiful songs down the years, I have seen some of the best in the business Springsteen, Randy Newman, Jackson Browne the Eagles, Steely Dan ..... But when am I going to see Stephen Bishop? Have you ever played in the UK? Anyway it's gettin late, thanks again for the songs... Hopin to see you some day !! Vince Canty from Stacey W on 04/01/98 Message:Wow...what to say...WHY CAN'T I GET SHEET MUSIC? Sorry, that came out a little aggressive...I love your work...the new album is superb. But, yes, there's always a but-why can't I find Red Cab anywhere anymore? My lp is worn out! Seriously, your songs have gotten me through some pretty lousy moments in my life, and I would dearly love to get my hands on some sheet music. I even learned to play a little guitar just from listening to you. I had the lyric songbook to Careless, but somehow lost it in a move...what I really want/need is the music to One More Night. That song kept me from doing something stupid a long time ago-when things were really bad I would imagine that the love of my life was out there somewhere, as yet un-met, and was singing it to me...gave me a lot of hope. Thank you. Sure wish (hint hint) I knew where to get that sheet music, though.... from Ron Hall on 03/31/98 Would Mr. Bishop be interested in doing a "private performace" in the San Diego area ?Message: from Julie Chen on 03/21/98 Message:I love your songs --"It might be you" very very much...so I found your webpage and come in to want to know more about you!

I've been a fan of your for a little over a year now. A girlfriend gave me you 'best of" cassette last Christmas. I write songs and perform and am currently working on a record with an independent label. Reading the liner notes from that cassette have been a source of inspiration to me. Knowing that if I work hard and apply myself maybe I can really get my music out there too. Thanks for being you! Peace! from Karin on 01/26/98 Message: When are you going to be in concert again? Dates and venues. Thanks. from Shawn on 01/25/98 Message: I just stumbled across your page and wanted to drop a line. I have been listening to your music from the start of your career. Your Careless cd is one of my favorites. My question is...where can I find Bish on cd? I love that album as well and woule like a clean copy of it on cd. Much continued sucess and thank you for some really great music.... from Paul Hedges on 01/23/98 Message:Stephen, when I was in San Diego in the 80's I managed to pick up the music to Bish. IIn the depths of time, and after sseveral moves, I've lost it. Do you know wwhere I can buy another ccopy of the music tto this album. II've always wondered, ddid you write yyour music on the piano or the guitar?Hope you've got time to answer, yours, perplexed from stacey on 01/21/98 What can I say...you saved my life! No one really talked about depression when I was a teenager, let alone thought about getting help for it...Careless was music medicine to my soul-I wore out 2 albums, convincing myself you were singing to me...kept me from doing something really stupid...the pharacy industry ain't got nothin' on you man!!! Thanks! Where can I track down sheet music for One More Night? I lost my album book and they say it's out of print!!! from ROBERT BUTLER on 01/13/98 message: YOUR WORKSHOP LAST NIGHT WAS FANTASTIC, TO SAY THE LEAST!

BOB BUTLER from MichelleBaldini on 01/04/98 Message: Dear Stephen, Hi! My name is Michelle and Iam from Darby Pennsylvania and I think your book and cd are fantastic.

Would love to be the proud owner of "At The Movies" featuring all the songs you've written for movies that were and weren't used. Also, an album of relationship tunes -- breaking up and making up! Nobody writes 'em better than you. Just an idea. E-Mail me to let me know just how old these ideas are and if there is any chance on Gods green earth this could ever happen. Thanks, Scott "Grossout" Gross from Neil Schmidt on 12/23/97 Message: Boy, it took some digging but I finally found your page. I wasn't even sure if ya had one. Very nice. I just wanted to say that I sincerly enjoy your work as a fellow composer/guitarist and I look forward hearing what you cook up next. By the way, as far as the Tootsie soundtrack goes, Lionel Ritchie ain't got nothing on you bro. Take care and thank you, Neil Schmidt Salinas CA P.S. Have a great Christmas from Randy Tabor on 12/21/97 Not much to say except I have been a fan for awhile now. I'll go out and grab the new CD. from Dean Herron on 12/16/97 Message:Hello, I've never done this before.As your biggest fan, I was wandering if there was anyway I could get two songs from you from a master tape. I know this is asking a lot , but I really have to have "My Clarinet" and "City Girl" with a nice crystal sound to it. I'll pay whatever the cost,you can trust me on this. Is this possible??? I hope the anwser is yes!!! Dean Herron P.S. my fave song is "Italian Rain". I I love that last line " "Tell me, did they capture the moon" from Reuben Felizardo on 12/07/97 Message: Hi Stephen from your home town. I 've always enjoyed the lyrical quality of your music, (something sorely missed in most of today's music). Thanks for the terrific music!!! Reuben Felizardo from Leslie Donaghy on 12/07/97 Message:Really like the new design on the site!!!! Greaphics much better, and has someone been playing around with Java applets? ;} Thanks to someone else who visits this site, I think I finally conquered Little Italy!!!!

I was just wondering if you have any plans of doing a concert here in the Philippines? You know, it would be perfect if you could visit us and do a concert for Valentine's Day... People here are crazy about your songs! Everyone loves "It Might Be You". And maybe you could have a duet with Asia's songbird Regine Velasquez (the way David Hasselfhoff did). Anyway, thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon... Marco Sardillo from carrie lee on 11/22/97 hi there! i think this is really a great hp. i've been trying to locate a stephen bishop website ever since last year, and i couldn't find one. this site is really a great help to me cause i like listening to your songs! i think that they are soothing and pleasant to hear. your songs are the most romantic and coolest!! hope you could sing us more songs and maybe you could hold a concert here at vancouver!! thanks! carrie from Alan Sheeehan on 11/21/97 Message: I have sent a message before (from work) but now I have my own computer. Bish is just fantastic and I hope that 'Red Cab To Manhattan' is on CD soon as my LP is getting old. Blue Guitars is great. the kids love it. Thanks again Alan from Chin Ivan on 11/19/97 Message: Hi Mr. Bishop your web page is fantastic! I'm from Malaysia, I love all your songs especially "(You'll Always Be) My Heart And Soul it's great and I guess it's the most touching song I ever heard perhaps it 's because your powerful mellow voice that made that song alive. Frankly speaking I love your voice, I wish I posessed one. Anyway, could you e-mail the (You'll Always Be) My Heart And Soul lyric to me please.....please.......Last but not least wish you happy always and stay cool. See ya. from Alan Sheehan on 11/17/97 Message: I have been hooked for some years and really enjoy the new CD. When Love Was Grand is a favorite. One of daughters is very keen on the album. I Go Numb, Romeo & Juliet & King Of Tonga are her favs. I look forward the next instalment. thanks Alan from Ray Van Osten on 11/13/97 Message: Mr. Bishop, Just wanted to drop a quick line and let you know that your page is really nice. I tried your trivia contest.....WHEW...FORGET IT!!!! I'm a big fan, but, yes, I'm afraid I don't have ALL your albums. When you're looking for true fans, you're REALLY looking for TRUE FANATICS!!! I don't blame you. I tried looking up all the answers in the sleeve of your greatest hits CD, "ON AND ON"...but I couldn't find all of them. Please take my word for it when I say, however, that I AM a big fan of yours. It seems that in this day and age that us "hopeless romantics" are a dying breed. I'm glad to see you haven't changed. Your music has definitely influenced my emotions over the years. For that, I thank you. Take care. :) Sincerely, Ray Van Osten Sarasota, FL. from Mike McCann on 11/10/97 Message: I'm a writer/historian who oversees syndicated features on the music of the 1970s (and separately 1960s). Drop me a line and let me know when you'll be in New York. I'd enjoy the chance to interview you. from zulkefli abdul talib on 11/07/97 Message: i have most of your albums. recently bought a CD version of Careless. had been looking for that one for a long time. Luv every one of the songs on the album. from on 11/05/97 Message:I bought "The Hits of..". It automatically takes me back to a time, a place a girl all that have a real mix a feelings. Lovesick, happy and just plain philosophical. There were some wonderfully, great songs you wrote that I as a young teenager would play over and over again on my record player. I always thought it was so cool how you started "Losing Myself In You" with the Wizard of Oz song "If I Only Had A Heart". And look at me now, I live in Kansas (913)829-3648, Ronnie. I have a beautiful wife, two handsome sons... I was jealous of you at times, 'cause I wanted to be that romantic. I'd write love songs and sing and play my 12-string acoustic for my lady. I'd use my music to win a girls heart, attention or to just wallow in my dreams. I played stuff by Cat Stevens, James Taylor and later on Dan Fogelberg. Thanks for the gentle melodies, soft notes and excellent vocal arrangements. Your CD "Hits of..." is played during dinner time, randomly along with other instrumental and Kenny Loggins "House at Pooh Corner Revisted", etc. For me a 37 year old dad it's cool stuff. But, for my eleven year old, it's only an interruption 'til he can get upstairs and play his CD of "SpaceJam" soundtrack or "Men In Black"! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT, WONDERFUL MEMORIES BISH!!!!!!! Ronnie from Steve Stride on 11/05/97 Message: Where can I buy Stephen Bishop sheet music? from Eric Petersen on 11/02/97 Message: Stephen, I wanted to know if there is going to be a release of you great album " Red Cab To Manhatten " on CD. It is your only recording that I don't have in the format. It is a great album, but mine is very scratchy and worn out. I have the " Bish " CD which I have gotten as a Japanese import and this to me is your finest work. Also I am looking forward to some new music from you. Please keep us up to date ! Thanks, Eric from Eric Petersen on 11/02/97 Message: from Martin Phee on 10/27/97 Message: I like your web site just fine. Maybe you could reply to the e-mail I sent a few weeks back Thanks Martin from Gary on 10/26/97 Message: I really think your songs are great. They are so soothing to listen to and some of your songs really mean a great deal to me. Songs like On & On, Save it for a rainy day, Never letting go, losing myself in you. Everytime i listen to these songs, they just bring back some really wonderful memories for me. I just love your die hard romance style, keep the tunes moving.

Thanks for sharing such great music. from Antoine Proult on 10/16/97 Message: Dear Stephen these few words to thank you for your coming at Disney Village France. It was great time for a french fan. Your very last performance was fantatstic too. Please come back next year and if you can bring Andrew Gold with you. thanks Antoine Proult from Claus Peter Rasmussen on 10/09/97 Message: Dear Stephen Being on stage alone with a guitar must be the ultimate challenge for any singer/songwriter. You made it seem like a piece of cake. On behalf of "Danish Friends of West Coast Music" I want to thank you very much for giving us all such a wonderful and memorable musical experience in Paris. What a terrific concert that was! As longtime fans I do not think any of us needed to be reminded of how many great and truly beautiful songs you have written. But to see and listen to you performing them live was really something special. At the end of your concert I started to worry that some of us crazy vikings from Denmark would begin to hold hands - we were all thinking of romantic interludes with our girlfriends/wifes (women are definitely allowed next year). Also thank you for your kind cooperation in connection with the interview. We look forward to bringing the "Stephen Bishop story" in our magazine. We will certainly do all we can to promote your wonderful music among our fellow Scandinavians, and we hope you once in a while will update us on your work. We also hope, that we will see you perform live in Denmark some time in the future. Best regards Claus Peter Rasmussen for "Danish Friends of West Coast Music" e-mail: dkfriend@post7.tele.dk. from Wade Barger on 10/08/97 Message: I love the new album, except I bought it a while ago as a Japaneese import. I haven't purchased the US version yet, which includes a couple different songs. Love the website too--except, I couldn't get the trivia to work. Keep up the good work! from Keith Mash on 10/08/97 Message: I se Little Italy has been removed from the Song Lists. Does this mean the lyrics will be posted soon?

Davidson from Texas on 09/29/97 Message:Dear Stephen Bishop, Thanks for songs great enough to be played over and over... I have been a fan for years... BUT a "musician fan". I have enjoyed "Save it for a Rainy Day", "On and On", and "Little Italy" for a very long time now (I'm 40). Just bought a new copy of your greatest hits to share with my 12 year old daughter, Beth, who has grown up hearing your music.

I have been sitting here trying to think of something original to say and all I can come up with is to echo everybody else with a thousand "me too's". "It Might Be You" is the sweetest, most pure song I have ever heard. It holds so many memories for me, as it does for others. That sweetness and purity comes from your voice and the expression with which you sing. Thank you for that. Thank you also for your prowess as a web master! It is great to be able to come here and see a little of you that was not possible until now. Your site is terrific. I love the colours you have chosen and of course, most of all your words.

I've been a fan for years, and I really do hope that you keep going "On and On".... from Anthony Chan on 08/15/97 Message: Stephen, I just got to your site thru the link from Andrew Gold's site. I hope you can provide more info and chat in your site, like Andrew's as I find his site very informative and entertaining, particularly his personal replies which I very seldom see in other musicians' websites. As far as I know, your Sleeping With Girls was never offically released in the USA. Is that true? I am from Hongkong.Back in 1985, I bought this album (vinyl) and it has "your" notes (quote): "To all my friends in Hongkong: I dedicate this record album to you. Please enjoy this music like you would with a cool drink on a warm day. This is my 4th album and I feel honored tha Hongkong will be the very first city to hear "Sleeping with girls". Remember to always, "NEW NOM", at work and at play. (Hand written) Go see "Micki and Maude" You'll love it. Stephen Bishop."(unquote) Questions: 1.Was it only released in HK? If not where else? (I love your version of Rhythm of the Rain, one of my all time fav songs) 2.Did you really write that, or was it the record company's ploy to promote the album in HK? 3.Any special meaning to have HK being the first city to hear it if that was true? 4.Have you ever been to HK? 5.What is "NEW NOM". 6.Is my vinyl LP rare? 7.I am a great fan of yours (and of Andrew Gold too). I recently posted some messages about your CD "Blue Guitars" (Japanese version) which I believe has different songs from the US release. Any reasons? I love that CD. I read from a UK CD mail order magazine that there is a CD called "Introducing Stephen Bishop", a compilation of 18 songs from your first 2 albums. Is it official? The label seems unknown. Hope you will reply. Anthony Chan "Nothing's changed (yet)" Hong Kong from kathy hauer on 08/14/97 Message: When my husband of 14 years, Kim, and I were first dating we used to listen to your albums, Careless and Rec Cab to Manhattan all the time. Your music is so special to us. We still have the cassette tapes of those albums and listen to them often. Where can we buy the CDs? Can we see you in concert? from ortel urbano orosco on 08/12/97 Message:I`d need information more about your first album (Careless). In my country there are so many fans of you. (Sorry my poor english). Please, send me something. Bye bye. Thanks. from Peter Barendse on 08/11/97 Message: Mr. Bishop, Dennis(you know Dennis, don't you???*S*) and I talk about you just about every time we talk, seems we've been talking for years and years. He's been extorting money from me all this time and somehow it seems like the money I've spent on your products, though it would never come close to the amount he's taken, was a better return. Yeah, I've been a fan for years, blah blah blah.... But seriously I have and will continue to be, anyone who listens to your music has no reason not to like it. Hey my father is 73 and he loves all your music. Anyway, Dennis told me to checkout your webpage so I did, it's most excellent but I think you know that... I'll be passing the word to all my friends to come take a looksee. Thanks/Take Care.... R, Pete from David Marshall on 08/11/97 Message:Jon McGuffin asked me to check out your web. glad I did. I don't know if you remember me, I was the bass player with Shine It On. I also knew you while we were in high school. Long ago. I wanted to check out your book so I thought I'd take the test. Looks to hard for me. Guess I'll have to go buy it. All the best! Look forward to listening to the new album. dave. from Bernard on 08/04/97 Message:Hello Stephen you know I love your songs,.

I forgot about Warren zevon! from David Bruce on 07/23/97 Message: Hi!! I`m looking for Bowling In Paris CD. Any idea where I might find one? David from TJ George on 07/22/97 Message: Stephen, For the first few years I started writing music I would get comments that I wrote songs that sounded like yours. After some recommendations I decided to buy an album and hear some of your stuff. Not knowing that I knew any of your songs and was happily surprised that I had heard several and loved them even before I became the fan I am now. That was about 10 years ago. I must agree that some of my material sounds incredibly like yours. That is a very flattering statement indeed considering the caliber of writer you are. I've written a few songs that are talked about being covered and looked at but it takes forever sometimes, as I'm sure you have experienced. I've written with a guy named David Lasley. He sang background on one of your albums with Arnold McCuller. They sing with James Taylor. I love the 70's tunes of yours and I am especially liking the Bowling in Paris and the new Blue Guitars. Your vocals are the thing that are most overlooked. I have been striving to get the clarity of voice you have when I record my demos. You are an awesome tenor. I pray that someday given the opportunity I will be able to write a song with you. I have a list of songwriters that I dream of writing with and yours is definately in the top three. James Taylor and Paul Williams being the others in the top three. Let me know if I can send you a tape to take a listen to and get a critique of. I would be most appreciative if you could give me your opinion. Thanks for writing what I have felt many times. Sincerely, T.J. George P.S. I cried the first time I heard Red Cab to Manhattan. "When I feel this close I don't know what to ..." Stephen's flying again. from Art Stewart on 07/21/97 Message:I first found your music back in the early '80s, but I must admit that I lost touch until finding your webpage. My question is one that I ask of many artists who had albums back in the days of "vinyl". Is there ANY source for your older music on CDs? I have all your old albums, but alas I haven't owned a record player in over fifteen years! I do intend to go out and buy your latest works, but I sure do miss the old stuff immensely. Thanks for having a presence on the 'net -- your fans will really appreciate it. from Rhonda on 07/17/97 Great site!! Did you do this all by your lonesome? If you did...Wow! I'm impressed. If you didn't...oh well I still enjoyed it. from Jacquelynn on 07/10/97 Dear Stephen, Really nice homepage you created!!! I like that " Sign my guestbook" image. Cool! (Wish I could generate my homepage half as nice as yours....) Still, keep up the good work! from Pete Vescovo on 07/06/97 Message: Stephen: I'll be in Los Angeles recording July 22-29.

Thanks, PV from Mark Boersma on 07/06/97 Message: "STEVEN BISHOP INTRODUCING STEVEN BISHOP CD (UK) new album, on MCA" : This is listed as coming out soon and available from Intergalactic Garage (CD seller). Is this indeed a new album, does it contain any new tracks, or is it just repackaged old material? By the way. BLUE GUITARS is your best album since CARELESS. Please include healthy shares of your acoustic guitar playing on future recordings. Awesome! from Cynthia Chen on 07/02/97 Message: Mr. Bishop, I wish you all the success and happiness your heart can hold!!!!

Keep on the good work. from David on 06/09/97 Message: Sincere apologies for calling you Steven, Stephen. :-) The music's still hot, though!! from David on 06/07/97 Message: I have recently bought 'Blue Guitars', Steven. I knew little about you apart from seeing you on some British music programme performing live some years ago, but the pathetic fact that I share surnames with you kept you in my mind. I then bought a book of Ferrington's Guitars (with CD) some months ago, and the most beautiful track on it was the unorchestrated version of "R's theme". I have told only one other (very close) friend about your album, and played her a sample via voice email of "When you love somebody", as it sums up me and her, and she also has now fallen in love with that track and other pieces on the same album. Thanks, Steven. We appreciate it very much. Please keep doing what you do!!! from Dan Ceballos on 06/03/97 Message: I have been a big fan ever since I saw you open up for Amercia at the Greek Theatre (Los Angeles, 1976) promoting your Careless Album. I have two questions for ya: 1) When is BISH be availible on CD??? 2) When are you going to do some gigs?? Your concerts were always very cool and so much fun! Your appearance on Politically Correct was great! Take care. from NINA on 05/31/97 Message:Keep up your good work!!Best of luck in the future... from ALFONSO CALDERON on 05/31/97 Message:Hello, Stephen. I`m a Spanish fan of you. I wanna give you thanks for all the great moments you made me feel. HOLD ON!! from ALFONSO CALDERON on 05/31/97 Message: from Bob Bennett on 05/30/97 Message: Although I e-mailed you privately, I wanted to "log in" on the public page as well. Anyone's short list of incredible songwriters has _got_ to include you! ...And I am astounded by how incredible *Blue Guitars* is ... there are very few artists and songwriters who can keep the level of quality that high over a 20+ years stretch. Although the virtues of your many songs are too numerous to mention here, you deserve a tip of the hat for being the only songwriter alive who could've crafted a song out of the title "Living In The Land Of Abe Lincoln"! If you're unable to post concert listings here, can your publicist post them to Musi-Cal? Best regards to you and greetings to all the other Bish fans who visit here who are smart enough to have figured out just how wonderful your work has always been! -- Bob Bennett from Gary on 05/30/97 Message: Hi Steve, Ive been listening to alot of Garfunkel the past few years. Whenever i really loved a song on the cd i looked for the writer. It always said the same thing, "Steven Bishop". Just got the Guitars CD. Ill seek out any other CDs youve released. Thanks for the great music. from martin on 05/25/97 Message: estoy escuchando el L.P. "careless" en mi campo, mirando los arboles y los pajaros . buenos aires. ARGENTINA. from Brian Pearson on 05/24/97 Bish...Thanks for all the great music, you have always been one of the biz'z best writers and best talents. What the hell is wrong with radio today? from Barney Villarreal on 05/23/97 Love the acoustic sound you are getting. Sounds like your using the same recording technique as the "Careless" LP. Could this be true? from Mark Moore on 05/19/97 Your new album is great. I enjoy it.sage: from David Torres on 05/19/97 Message: Dear Bish, Thank you for all the great years of music. Some of the sweetest memories of my life had been associated with Stephen Bishop songs. Being an amateur composer myself, I look to you for inspiration. Once I played a song of mine for someone and they said it sounded like a cross-between Stephen Bishop and John Lennon. Musically, that's about the highest compliment I've ever been paid. Keep writing and hopefully we'll see you in concert soon in LA. God bless. from Edgar Nemo on 05/19/97 Message:I'm glad I found your page in the internet. Me and my brothers are your very big funs of your telents and music. Hoping listening from your next coming album please write on me. I'm very willing get all your albums, its very nice.

Nemo My address: arrays@wtouch.com.ph from A Tallmer on 05/16/97 Message: thanks for the memories from your great music, especially the first album to which I have listened at least a hundred times. The second cut--Never Letting Go-- has special meaning and it reverberates in my mind to this day. Thanks from doll on 05/15/97 Message: Hi! I just love your song It Might Be You. It was the the theme song of my boyfriend and I. He gave me a tape of your album On and On, and I loved every song. Unfortunately, we already broke up, but it didn't make me hate songs. In fact, I've been trying to get ahold of the lyrics of those songs but I haven't any luck. Anyway, I just hope that you'll continue to make songs that really touches the heart..... Sorry this took so long.. Bye!!!! from Andrew Cook on 05/07/97 Message: Your music always reminds me of hot summer nights in Hawaii 1997 with On & On playing in the background. Great summer! from Liz Tant on 05/07/97 Message: I have liked your music for some years, i live in england and so have only had the albums Bish, carless and red cab to manhaten.

I heard your song On & On on the radio and when I got to the office, I asked everyone, "who sang this song?" It took two days for someone to figure it out. Everyone had this song on the brain for those two days. It drove everyone nuts because they could hear the song in there head but couldd't think of the answer. I won't tell you some of the people they guessed. Its a great song and it was especially great on a warm spring afternoon with the windows down and your voice blairing out of the speakers. Thank you for making that moment that much better. out my speakers. from Don Jacobs on 04/17/97 Message: Dear Steve, I enjoy your songwriting very much. I've listenned to "Somewhere in Between" about 50 times on the "On and On" Album" I still can't figure out the lyrics to the first line. Sounds like "There's a hub around the corner, rock drifters used to steal." Can you help me out? I'd be eternally grateful. Don. from John Roche on 04/17/97 Message: Stephen, Your web site looks fabulous. I suppose everyone says that but it's true.My wife and I have been fans of yours for many years. However I can't locate a copy of Blue Guitars anywhere. The record chains in Ontario Canada are hopeless. I was told by a Foundation Records official that IMD distributed the CD here but they certainly don't seem to be calling on any record chains in my area. Do you or any of your other Canadian fans know where I can get a copy? Thanks from Pat Zimmerle on 04/11/97 Message: I was just writing you a note to say that I really enjoy your songs web page.

Best Wishes' Lowell Adams from Jim McMillan on 03/22/97 Message: Hi Stephen, It's a privelage to be able to send you a message so I need to start off with that. I have been a long time fan, even way back in 1978 when you were staying with Clapton in England. I am a musician myself, classicaly trained in Scotland in voice and piano, but excelled with Guitar and writing my own songs. I never overcame my fear of playing on stage, so I wrote for myself. I could identify with the depth of feeling you have in your songs, the lyrics moved me especially when in On and On your line "Takes a ladder steals the stars from the sky... put's on Sinatra and starts to cry". Anyone who can put those words together is in a unique class, and deeply in touch with himself and his music. I think I have worn out my On and On album. I always listen to you with great depth, and feel the music the way you intended it to be heard. I am glad your'e around, especially today when there is so much garbage being fed to the listening public. You are one of the few that has a strong "Bish" following, and I love the cuts from the new album. It's number one on my list of purchases. Your Fan. Jim McMillan. from Mark Cultice on 03/22/97 It is a pleasure to be writing to you. I have been a fan since Save It for a Rainy Day. I especially enjoyed your impression of John Lennon at Mark & Brian's Xmas Show. I accessed your web page through listening to your album (cd) on audionet jukebox. Has anyone given airplay to Little Italy? I enjoy that song immensely. Best of luck with your book & new cd.l from DONNA ST.JEAN-DAVIDSON on 03/22/97 Message:BISH, I MET YOU ABOUT 8 YRS AGO, I ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE MY BEST OF BISH CD OUT OF THE COMPUTER TO LOOK AT THIS DRIVEL YOU HAVE ON YOUR HOME PAGE...I AN INTERIOR DECORATOR, LET ME REMODEL YOUR PLACE AND HEAR YOUR LATEST,( ESPECIALLY W/ MICHAEL MACDONALD) AND I WILL JUMP START BOTH YOUR CAREER AND MINE!!!

I've been a professional for the past twenty years. When I heared "Careless" all those years ago it affected me in a way I could not describe. Till this day I can say that it is one of the greatest albums ever. It has never lost it's shine and still does the same thing to me now as it did then. You have been a great influence on me Stephen Bishop. You affected my musicianship like no other and for that I thank you. I have but one request. Could you please give me the chords for "Little Italy"? I've been killing myself for years trying to learn that song! Till later Bish! All the best.

I've enjoyed your music since your first album. Is all your stuff on cd? I'd love to have the record with "losing myself in you" etc, on cd.

Would you like me to try and find you a gig? It would be nice if your webmaster would post your dates on the site so we can be on the lookout for your gigs. Yeah, I'd travel to see you perform. I'm a musician and that is the highest compliment I could pay. You have been a favorite of mine for 20 years and I admire the consistantly high quality of your work. You are the best writer out there, no doubt. Also, I respect the regard you have for your fans, a lot of performers could learn a lesson from you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the opportunity to view your personal home page. I truly enjoyed it, anyway, I was wondering if you got the lyrics of the songs contained in your "The Hits of Stephen Bishop", especially the lyrics to One More Night and Save It For A Rainy Day. Thanks again and hope you keep on writing great songs for yourself as well as other singers, your Blue Guitars Album is just great, thanks again. Do drop me a line sometime, I would really appreciate it. Bye... from Andrew Tallmer on 02/27/97 Message: What can I say? "careless", especially the second cut, continues to be great--I have listened to the record at least 500 times. It has helped with sad times (and also exacerbated them!) The second album was great also, but very underplayed ("Losing Myself in You" a beautiful song". I know that you have recorded and album since, with Phill Collins doing the liner notes, and I wish you would tour at some point--is there a chance of that? Take it from a long-time fan, your voice and musice are severely underrated. from Ron Sherkin on 02/25/97 Message:You site is great. I didn't think there were many who loved Bish's music like me. I'm glad I was wrong. You should add some audio clips to the site. If you have access to Bish, I've been dying to ask him a specific question. (I love "I've Never Known A Night Like This", why not on Greatest Hits. Who's idea -- his or record company.)Please keep me informed and great job. ron from Rick & Nancy Orr on 02/24/97 Bish - Nancy and I have many happy memories of your music on the album "Careless" . There were many times that the first sounds of that album told the other that we were "in the mood". I am not so sure that your music is not responsible for my oldest daughter (turning 15 years old tomorrow). Unfortunately we have searched and searched to find a replacement CD for the album that we wore out.... making love to your beautiful lyrics, and voice. If you have any suggestions on mail order houses, we would love to make love to Bish once again. Take Care Man..... and thanks for the happy times. Rick & Nancy Orr from John Barone on 02/23/97 Message:Hello Stephen, I just got my copy of the new album yesterday. I had to special order it.I've already listened to it 4 times, needless to say I love it.I have all of your albums and CD's except the latest hits Cd,but I was wondering are there any other CD's that might have been released in Europe but not here? How about a concert tour,from the looks of your guest book there are lots of fans like me all around the world. You are probably the only artist that I have been a fan of for so long a time, yet still never saw in concert. I would love it. Good luck with the album,always doing my part to promote wherever and whenever I can. John Barone from Terry Eckard on 02/19/97 Message:YO!! WEED!!! I've purchased "Blue Guitars" and LOVED it!! I've have been a fan since "On and On". I've always wanted to say that "Seperate Lives" will have to be regarded as one of the greatest songs of the 20th century!! By the way, I like your version much better than ol' Phil what's his name. Bish, keep up the good work!! A fan forever, Terry Eckard from Rick Chimienti on 02/18/97 Message: I heard you mention on your book tour that Bish was out on CD in Japan. Do you how one could buy a copy? Are there any plans to put Bish out on CD here in the states? Any plans to tour Southern California? Rick from BRak on 02/14/97 Bish, After seeing VH1 replay American Bandstand,I was wondering what artists such as yourself thought about getting on TV and having to Lip Sinc your songs.

I think your lyrics and music are fantastic. Thanks for all those albums Stephen!! Now if I could only get my hands on your latest one?? from Jinkie S. Mondia on 02/12/97 Message: Dear Stephen, Hi! I'm a young lady from the Philippines and I really love your song"It Might be You". So when I finally found your web site on the INTERNET I download this song. For me your songs are cool and full of emotions. They are everlasting. May God Bless You . love, jinkie from Cheryl Taganas on 02/12/97 Message:Love your webpage! Really great! BTW, thanks for the lyrics of "It Might Be You" and "Separate Lives". They're my favorites. from Chris Rizik on 02/04/97 Message: I happened upon your web page while "surfing" the net. I was glad I did because I hadn't seen "Blue Guitars" in the stores. I've enjoyed all of your previous albums and have purchased both your Rhino and MCA compilations on CD. Glad to see you're back in the studio. I'm looking forward to getting Blue Guitars. Best of luck. from Michael Gregory on 02/01/97 i purchased blue guitatrs a while back and immediatly counted it is one of my favorite discs. I hope you get through chicago to do a show soon. from Geir-Jakob Hellem on 01/31/97 Hi Stephen! I'm thrilled having found your homepage. Great site! I've been a big fan of you since the "Red Cab To Manhattan"-album. And I've recently bought the "Blue Guitar"- album. What a wonderful record!! I must congratulate you with another succesful album! Some of your ballads are among the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Your voice is outstanding and beautiful to listen to. I was very excited when I heard that you had released "Blue Guitar", and I'm NOT disapointed. The album has great songs,beautiful sound and quality. It seemes like Andrew Gold has done a good job helping you out with the album. The result is BRILLIANT, and we play it a lot here in my home. My whole family loves it! But I wonder... do you have any note-books or other sheet music available? I play the piano and sing,but I can't find any note-books with your songs. Do you know where I can buy it/get it from? Then I wish all the best for you and your carreer, and I'm already looking forward to your next album!!!! I hope you respond to my question concerning the notebooks........... Best wishes. Geir-Jakob Hellem. Bodø in Norway. from Eric Everson on 01/29/97 Message:Steve, just wanted to stop by and tell you I've been a big fan for a long time.

I've enjoyed your music over the years-I'm anxious to hear your new album! from Mark Iorio on 01/25/97 Great Album!! Great to hear from you again, I really enjoyed your previous efforts. The quality of this album is terrific, good songs well produced. Any concerts planned in the New England area soon? Glad you are doing well!! from Robert de la Cruz on 01/24/97 What I like best about your songs is that they come from the heart. My favorites are Separate Lives, Heart and Soul, and of course, It Might Be You. Thanks for giving me the inspiration. from Wilfred Pau on 01/23/97 Message:How exciting it is to have finally located your web page. Enjoyed your extraordinary songs on Hong Kong radio stations when I was a teenager a long time ago. It's hardly easy to find your CDs in Sydney's music stores. Before discovering the wonderful world of the internet, the only way to get your incredible albums was to order them. Anyhow, keep up the good work. Are you coming down under for a concert in '97? If not, when? Regards, Wilfred Pau from Wilfred Pau on 01/23/97 Message:How exciting it is to have finally located your web page.

Are you coming to the UK, especialy Scotland, anytime? Hope so! from Alan Sorensen on 01/21/97 Message:Is there a Stephen Bishop Music Book? I can't get one here in Scotland! By the way - thanks for teaching me to play the guitar, I have literally worn out 3 copies of Careless on vinyl over the years! Thanks also for enabling me to impress SOOOO many women by singing your songs. Boy do I owe you! Buying a music book is the least I could do. from Yasushi 'sushi!' Kobayashi on 01/20/97 Hi!! I want to say Thanks to your many information'bout Bish. In Japan he is very famous for A.O.R singer. Especially 'on and on'got the big hit then.I hope you'll send more information to all over the world about him. from Robb on 01/17/97 Message: Have always enjoyed your music and humor. Maybe you could work a little harder and not let so much time go by in between CDs. Happy Trails, NipNew from Walt Berchin on 01/16/97 Message: Dear Stephen, Just a short message to say that I truly enjoy your webpage. I have always been a big fan of yours and I consider you one of the "good old boys" from a bygone era. As a matter of fact, as I was driving to work this morning (I have a 60+ minute commute) I played "Red Cab to Manhatten" and "Bowling in Paris". One of my favorite tunes of all time is "Parked Cars". I was pleasantly sur- prised to find that you had a new album out, "Blue Guitars". I plan on adding that to my collection very soon. Do you know where I can get a copy of "Bish" on CD or if it's even possible? That album ranks right up there with the my all-time favorites. Stephen, keep up all great work you've done. You've certainly contributed to a lot of happy moments in my lifetime and for that I say "thank you". Can't wait to check out your book, too. Sincerely, Walt Berchin from Bambi on 01/16/97 Message: Iwant you so bad. I would massage you with my stunning globes..Then we'll play Pictionary.. lustily yours, Bambi from Andrew Babcock on 01/15/97 Message:I wrote a long fan letter about how 20years of your music was an important part of my life ,no response. Thats ok I would have thought i was a nut too. I just want to know where i can get the 2nd album on cd "bish" red cab would be good too. thats all. thank-you from Brenna Johnston on 01/14/97 Message:In April of 1996, I packed everything that meant anything to me to move to the UK to be with my new husband. I ended up with 7 boxes of stuff from 39 years. Unfortunately, I didn't have the brains to take a few records. Who listens to records anymore??? After I got here and settled in, I started thinking about my music...things I may never hear again. I thought of your early recordings...I loved them so much. I think "Only The Heart Within You" is my favourite song. Anyway...this could be a long story. We were in Glasgow Scotland right after xmas, and low and behold...I found "On and On" in the HMV music store! I couldn't believe it. Tears came to my eyes as I tried to explain who you were and how much your music meant to me. Thanks for still making music. I hear you now and then in a film...and I'll say, "that's Stephen Bishop!" :) Love you...and missed you!!! A fan for life, Brenna Johnston. from john st.martin on 01/12/97 have been following you for years. don't stop now, thanks for the listening pleasure. "johnny" from irene chen on 01/09/97 hi, i am a Chinese,and i live in Taiwan. "It might be you "is my favorite English song. i'm really touched by its lyric and its melody. you may find that my English is very poor, however, i hope you can understand what i want to express. your works are really remarkable to me. one more thing, this is my first time to send a letter to a famous people whom i like. May you have a wonderful new year. byebye irene chen from Joanne on 01/07/97 Message: I just picked up a copy of your Songs In The Rough book. It's fantastic!!! A friend of mine mentioned you had done a booksigning in L.A. not too long ago. Will you be doing that in the L.A. area again so I can get mine signed? I can't wait to pick up Blue Guitars as well. Thanks for the music and take care! from Robin on 01/06/97 Message: I just got your Blue Guitars CD today and noticed you had a web page. It says you performed in Las Vegas this past weekend. If I'd only gotten your CD sooner, I'd have gone to see you!!! Will you be in Los Angeles performing anytime soon? I'll keep checking back to see... By the way, the album is great!!! from Paolo Giorgi on 01/06/97 Message:Dear Stephen, I do like your home page and your great music, since at least 20 years (I am 40). I ordered about 3 months ago your book (using the folding inside the blue guitar record)but I have not received anything yet. I included the form in an envelope containing my first release which I hoped you could listen to or at least have a look to. You have been one of my favourite inspiration for so many years and it has been my pleasure to let you know this. Hoping you can receive this mail, I wait for an answer from you ...and, who knows, maybe a collaboration in music: if you had any idea to come to Italy for (at least 1 thousand!) concerts I can help you, being involved in a promotion agency as a musical director (the name is "Proposte artistiche" and if you want you can visit our web at www.dadait/propart). Bye. from John Lussier on 01/05/97 Message: been a big fan for many years. Thoroughly enjoyed the webpage and the new album. My brother lives in California and was telling me that he was in a record store and heard a voice talking about his music etc. and was sure that he had heard the voice before. Sure enough, there you were playing selections from Blue Guitar. He bought a copy and sent it up to me. Any plans on concert dates in the Vancouver, BC area? Thanks J from on 01/05/97 Message: Any upcoming concerts or performances? California or Vegas area Your latest albunm was wonderful!!! :) from Joanne on 01/04/97 Message: Great album!!

Also, are you planning any performances in L.A.? from Lauren on 01/03/97 Message: I've been a Bish fan for many years now, and I'm thrilled to see you have a new album!

I was arround my early twenties and came in contact with your music. I believe it was On and On! (put on Sinatra and starts to cry) And loved from the first moment I heard it. But being considered as"one of the Boys" here in Amsterdam it was not 'Bon Ton'to express my admiration for you and your music, at that time! I'm 35 years now so I'm supposed to make my own choises, regardless, what people say, feel or think. So over the years I collected (again) most of your albums. First I had them (and still have them) as albums, but now they will be replaced by CD. But! My all time favourite "Bish" is not availible her in Holland. So for the last ten years I've been searching every CD store for "BISH', can you help me? By the way! I love your two most recent Albums "Bowling in Paris"& Blue Guitars", these I can find! But Bish! Greetings, Ad Walraven from John Hulaton on 12/24/96 Message: I just wanted to thank you for your music. Although I have every album of yours (except "Red Cab to Manhattan"), I find myself listening to "Careless" -- especially "Never Letting Go" -- when I'm down and almost out. I spend the rest of the time listening to "Bish." Great music, Stephen. Thanks again. Is there a chance that you would write any songs with simple guitar parts? I try to get the guitar tracks off the record so I can play your tunes and fantasize but they are so difficult. I'll keep trying, though. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a happy and productive (hint, hint) new year, john P.S. Is there any way to write fan letters without sounding stupid? from Tony Harris on 12/24/96 Hi Stephen. I have all your albums. Looking forward to hearing the new one when it comes out in the UK. Will we have a concert here? One question (to make a frustrated guitarist very happy). What tuning is "Little Italy" done in? Great song. "Only the Heart Within You" is also one that I've failed to work out. Just dumb I guess :->. Any plans for a music "TAB" book for Careless and some of the later albums? Keep 'em coming. Best regards Tony Harris from Marri on 12/21/96 Message: I think your page has really cool graphics!!! I was wondering where I can find piano notes of "It Might Be You". I hope you will write back. Thanks! BTW, I love all your songs. They're very inspiring. And it must have taken a lot of experience and insight to write them. Thanks for serving as an inspiration to many songwriters!!! from Marri on 12/21/96 Message: I think your page has really cool graphics!!!

Thanks! from Masahiro Ogawa on 12/20/96 I'm your big fan for 20 years since I heard your first top40 hit, SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY. When you played at the club in Tokyo back in 1990, I was at the table on the first row to the stage. Of course I went to your concert in 1993. We have a lot of your fans here in Japan, so please come again to have your favorite Sushi and let us hear your voice again. This time I suggest 'unplugged type' concert.(No karaoke, please.) We are waiting for you!!! Thanks from Masahiro Ogawa on 12/20/96 test from Angel on 12/19/96 Message Noticed that you are playing in Las Vegas in January and wondered if this was the beginning of a tour for you??

I am forty-four years old and have been listening to your music since the late sixties and early seventies. Blues is the essence from which all good pain and deliverance springs eternal. Music is the panacea for all of the pain. Thanks you Mr Bishop, Thank you for your time, your energy, your committment and most of all your gift of love to all of us with your music.

Is one available? from Keith Stafford on 10/26/96 Message:Stephen I think it was in 1986 when I saw you in Tierra Verde, St. Petersburg Fl.. I was on the front row. This has been one of my most treasured bragging rights. You were playing unplugged before unplugged was cool.Finding your new cd was like finding a new bicycle under the Christmas tree when I was a kid. Couldn't wait to take it for a ride. Please keep those Christmas gifts coming. Your fan since you were on Merv Griffin. from Robb New on 10/22/96 Message: It's been too long since your last album. What do you do in between CD's? Would you be willing to do a soundtrack or a song for a soon to be made movie? I look forward to listening to your latest. Samples sound good. Happy Trails, NipNew P.S. How are rabies and vaccine? from Alan Goude on 10/19/96 Message: Love the new album. I've been a fan for many years and think you're great. Don't leave it too long until the next album. - best regards Alan. from allison on 10/17/96 Message: I'm a brand new fan of yours. I just recentley found out that you are the person who has written some of the songs I've known for years but had no idea who sung them. It's so nice to hear beautiful songs that are so relaxing. I just bought "Songs of Stephen Bishop" this weekend, I't was hard to find it with all of the generation x-alternative music that seems to be bombarding the stores these days. I'd like to know more about your music - where song ideas came from, what you feel is your favorite song, and more info about you, i.e., family, hobbies, etc. I'll check back at your home page soon to be updated on anything new. P.S. "IT MIGHT BE YOU" is the most beau- tiful song I've ever heard!! Your newest fan, ALLISON from David Strattford on 10/15/96 Hi Stephen, Awesome site man !

We got your BG album (dated, sorry CD, whew) and picked up a few for friends, we really enjoy it. The song, "numb", anyone in particular? "Romeo", is a blast! We just got a new car & the CD sounds clean & sweet. Its tragic about LA, when you have a better sound system in the car than in the house. We've been HUGE fans for years & seeing you in T.Oaks was a real thrill, honor & pleasure. Your music has given both of us such warm fuzzies thru the years, again, it was great to see you. Wishing you all the success & happiness you can stand. Regards & love, Bruce & Zeda Quaketown, CA from Devlin Tay on 10/12/96 Message: Hey there! I'm from SIngapore and I listened to "Blue Guitars" on AudioNet with RealAudio Plus 3.0 and thought it was great! I'm going to buy a copy soon. Just thought I'd let you know I enjoyed it very much. Best wishes. from David Walsh on 10/10/96 Message:Welcome back! I, too, have been listening since "Careless." "Blue Guitars" is probably the best surprise album of the year. What a treat to hear this Stephen Bishop again. You're probably one of the most under-appreciated songwriters around these days. This is what you do best. Any plans to release "Bish" or "Red Cab"? These are my two favorite SB albums. Maybe Foundation can do it. Even mail order only, just so there would be a good copy available. Thanks again for all the music, especially your new stuff! from jeff kuhn on 10/08/96 Message: I'm a huge fan of your music. I want to thank you for sharing your gift and talent with me. I can't tell you how many times I made out to "Careless" back in the late 70's. Any chance you can send me an autographed picture. Thanks!

Thanks again from Ray Parker Jr. on 10/01/96 Message: Your web page looks great! Email me back and tell me is this something that I should be doing as well? Have you gotten much response yet and how has this helped business? In any event, it sure looks like a lot of fun. I am putting together an instrumental project that I would like to sell non-via record companies. Perhaps this could lend itself to an all new outlet and distribution network. I sure hope so! Ray from Alan Rowland on 09/28/96 Stephen: Glad to see you on the web. You may recall that I sent you a note last March about doing a page for you.

Alan Rowland had a [*******]in summer from Donna on 09/26/96 That year was 1977 at the Ivanhoe Theatre. from Donna on 09/26/96 I met my first celebrity in that year, and his name was Stephen Bishop. I met you backstage after your concert. Unprepared without pen/paper, there i stood waiting to tell you how much your music meant to me. As you walked through the backstage doors, it appeared there was a halo huffering the top of your head. But we now have discerned that was only a cloud of smoke:). I got the words out" You're music means alot to me ". You said "Thank-you, would you like an autograph?". I said "sure". You're nonverbal communication said "well what shall i write on?". Dazed and confused my non-verbal response was " who knows!..who cares!...am I in Heaven?". You then tore off a piece of paper from a notebook someelse was holding, and wrote me a special note. You then grabbed me and gave me a kiss, and said I was your first Chicago Kiss and you would never forget me. I was 18 in that year and will never forget you. Well you and your onterage walked one way and i walked "SMACK" into the wall. There i stood feet moving and going nowhere. Fortunately you saw my dilema. All the sudden i felt hands on my shoulders and a voice that said "the stairs are this way" I was shaking & humiliated from making such a fool of myself. Who knows where i would be today without your hands, your voice and your music to guide my way. Your music has guided me through some very difficult times in my life, times i never thought i would get through. Your music would comfort, guide me and inspire me to keep the faith and keep trying. This is the reason why you have become a significant part of my life and my heart:). I love you dearly and always will because of how you have effected my life. I only hope i can do the same for you someday. I love "Blue Guitars", I can't stop talking about it to everyone i know. And i look forward to many many years of listening enjoyment. Love ya Bish:) from Bob Brown on 09/22/96 Hello....I'm a Loooong time fan.....Is there any plan to release the EARLY albums on CD? If they are available as imports,Where shold I try to order 'em? Personally,I missed your music .....Glad you're back R.H.B from Donna Jung/Artist on 09/19/96 Message:I love your web page. And i thought there was no advertising going on. I love the color purple theme to the whole page. Its your color. Hey, I didn't know you liked to bowl. Maybe we could do that sometime. Comment though: on the full spread it says" in the rough" rather than "Songs in the Rough" was that supposed to be that way. What that supposed to be a teaser. So now that I'm your guest, what do I get for free?. Do I get invited to parties or do i just get treats at halloween? I'm soooo happy for this page, i was really worried. This is class, but i wouldn't have expected any less from you. I would like to know when the appearences start. I would like to know if you got all my other notes i sent you, otherwise those guys were pulling my leg on your name place in aol. And if thats the case, then i've been a real fool. Told ya i'm slow. Looking forward to hearing your voice on Q's halloween cd, if i can find it. You are getting better looking everyday. Thats why i love painting your face. See ya and love ya too! from Drew Babcock on 09/16/96 Message:I gave the wrong address last time. from Cicci Serra on 09/15/96 Message:Hi from Napoli (Italia)! I love your music (Careless is one of my favourite CD, but i like also Bowling in Paris), but i can't find the new Blue Guitars anywhere. I'm trying to listen at sound samples but now the speed is poor. I'll try later. It's time to put a link on my home-page to your beatiful site.

I wrote one fan letter in my life and that was to Mr.Bishop in 1979. I was 13. It got sent back. I'm not the fan type but now that this easy access is available I will write my last fan letter. The babysitter let me stay up and watch my first Saturday Night Live show in I think 1976. That was when I first heard "On and On" I got my first stereo that October and the first album I got was "Careless" ( I still think that was the best album) It was the only record I had untill Saturday Night Fever came out. It is now 1996 I have a 100 disc cd changer and "On and On" is the first one in the rack. I was a pretty hopeless romantic growing up and had the typical heartbreaks. "on and on", "Bish" those two records got me through some rough times my divorce was easier than some of those teen break-ups. The Same Old Tears on a New Background, that song still brings tears 20yrs latter. When I first went to college, Americas to 40 was on and a new song by Phil Collins called Seperate Lives played. There was a girl in the car that was a big fan of Phil's. This was the first time I heard the song but I said that has to be a Stephen Bishop song that Phil was singing. We argued the whole song untill Kasey, after the song, said you wrote it. that song took on new meaning in my adult life. Anyways, there are very few singers out there that resemble your music style. I buy all of Phil Collins solo stuff. That was neat to see a picture of you on one of his records. I need to listen to "Blues Guitar" several more times before I can really say anything more than I like more than anything else you did since Red Cab. If you get a chance listen to Duncan Sheik. His songs are like Stephen Bishop of the late 70's. your lyrics are still superior to almost anyones but the style of music is so similiar. Thank-you for being an important part of my life for 20years. from michael mangio on 09/09/96 Message:please send me a lyrics of your song it might be you thank you from Michael Chapman on 09/05/96 Message: Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your new "Blue Guitars" album. I am a serious record/CD collector with a collection of around 3,000 pieces and I want to tell you that it's YOUR albums that spend the most time on my stereo. I've got "Careless" and "Best of Bish", "Red Cab to Manhattan", "Bowling in Paris", "On and On: The Hits of", and of course the new one. I can't seem to find "Bish" anywhere. Anyway, great album, and thank you for all the wonderful songs and memories. Michael Chapman Walden14@aol.com from Jim Wedel on 09/04/96 I pulled out "Bowling in Paris" tonight, and it remonded me how much I enjoy your music. Wondering if any new material was out, I found this sight and will be buying the new album tomorrow! Thanks for the music. from Keith Marsh on 09/04/96 Message: I live at Southend on Sea Essex England which is about 40 miles east of London. Last weekend we had a group of friends over and each bought a tape of their 5 favourite songs. (The ones you'd have with you on a desert island). The fascinating thing is that two of us both chose Little Italy. What's the odds of that happening I wonder? Great music. This web page has introduced me to more of youre music, I've just downloaded a track off the new album and will be out to buy it soon. Any chance of providing a discography? Regards Keith Marsh from Mikki Lesowitz on 09/01/96 Stephen, Howz book sales? Your page looks great. Mikki from Michael Petri on 08/30/96 Message: I had no idea that you, one of my favorites, had a new album out. I stumbled upon a copy in a used CD store (sorry). I've been enjoying it. So, what DID happen with "Sleeping With Girls". I noticed that someone else already asked if it was possible to get a copy of it. I, too, got all excited about it after seeing you on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, and I looked in record stores for it for years until Rhino came out with you greatest hits, which included some mention of the unreleased album. Also, I've seen some grossly expensive Japanese imports of Bish, and I'd be thrilled if some US label would release your earlier albums on CD. And finally, a question about Red Cab To Manhattan: How did you like working with Mike (the producer) on that, and how do you like the results? I think that came out at about the same time as Carly Simon's 'Come Upstairs' album, and I was rather shocked at the style changes for both of you, which I attributed to the producer. Nice homepage. And it's nice to know that a New Jersey company put out you latest CD. Good for us. from Joe Baust on 08/29/96 Message: So glad to see your new album! I have always enjoyed your music. Please continue your singing and songwriting. In this day and age, quality work such as yours is difficult to come by! Sincerely, J Baust PS. I am looking for some of your older albums that are no longer available in stores Could you suggest were I might begin searching? from Toni Nieva on 08/28/96 Message:I am one of your fans here in the Philippines. My favorite Stephen Bishop songs are It Might Be You and Something New in My Life. I also like On and On. I hope you'll continue to write and record songs of this kind. Take care of yourself. from Rick A. Burrows on 08/25/96 Message: Dear Bish, I have been a fan for a VERY long time. I am excited for the new album. I had to special order it but that's okay. It was worth the wait. I have the last couple of CD's ans a few of the old albums. When will everything be on CD? There are people that don't believe that Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and you on one song. They look at me like I'm nuts!!!! When are you going to tour and if so maybe St Louis? BTW, my screen name should tell you what I do for a living and no it has nothing to do with being a slave to anyone Take care Hope to see you in St Louis soon Rick Burrows from Pete Vescovo on 08/23/96 Message: Will your previous albums like Bish and Red Cab be released in the US on CD? The Japanese imports of these are so expensive and difficult to find. My lp's are totally worn out. If you could get the rights to the masters for domestic release, it would be cool. Great job on BG. I just listened to it carefully and the amount of musical detail and counterpoint are amazing. Please post tour dates on your page. Ever consider doing a "live" album? Keep up the good work and don't be so long between albums. Regards, from Mark Randall on 08/23/96 I know you don't want to be forever associated with "On and On," but it's one of my all-time faves. Definitely need to check out your new album. Great page, and great to see new music from you! from Darren Poindexter on 08/23/96 Message: Hey Steven, just wanted to say I've enjoyed you music for years, and I'm looking forward to the new CD. Take care of yourself, and hopefully we'll see some videos from the new album. P.S. It's always good to see Michael McDonald!!! from John on 08/22/96 Message:Your new album is great! When will ALL of your previous albums be available on CD? I would be very thankful for a response. from chris durigan on 08/22/96 Message:Dear Mr. Bishop, I first became a fan when I heard the Careless album playing at a lcal dept. store,and I've bought everything i've seen by you ever since! Your music is so beautiful- sad, but beautiful. I have a question that perhaps you could answer. Will the BISH album be issued on compact disc? Also is there anyway to obtain a copy of your album "Sleeping with Girls"? Johnny Carson got me all exicited about this release and i've wondered about it ever since! Congratulations on a fine new album!!! I only hope the stations play it so more people can hear how great your sound is! Your grateful fan, chris P.S. Do you ever tour? from on 08/21/96 Message: from Shinji Hamada on 08/20/96 Message: I had about 20 singers or players in my mind before I came to the US. I wanted to see their lives closely. It took me 3 years to see most of them. And this is what I want to say, you are the last few I haven't seen yet. Let me know when you are playing in the NY area. By the way, I like almost every song you write. They are just wonderful. from Thomas Quarticelli on 08/19/96 Message:Nice job. I just recently purchased your latest musical effort 'Blue Guitars'. I've been a fan since 'Careless' and I always check the music stores under 'B' just in case a new album appears. Great production w/ Andrew Gold. It's always a pleasure to hear your music. Great songwiting and acoustic guitar work is a rarety these days! If you tour in the New England area, please let me know. from Norman Hunter on 08/17/96 Message:I live in Glasgow Scotland and have just bought your new cd whilst in the US. There are still plenty of us over this side of "the pond" who still listen to the old albums and have done since "Careless" 20 years ago. Glad to see that you finaly got a new contract and got the music released - I've been waiting for it since reading Phil Collins sleeve notes on "Bowling in Paris" which I bought on vinyl!!! Just got back from Boston this morning so I am sitting here at 2.00 am (jet lagged) and listening to the new bunch of cd's I bought last week in NY when I noticed you had listed your website. Out came the laptop and here I am. Blue Guitars sounds really great - glad that you hooked up with Andrew Gold again - haven't heard from him since he was with Graham Gouldman. Incidentaly, Q magazine (British music mag) gave the cd *** out of 5 but only available on import here. Anyway got to get off to bed. Don't wait so many years next time - great to hear you again. All the best - Norman from David Tillis on 08/12/96 Message:Great album Steven. I've been a fan for many years and will continue for many more. I was thrilled to see Michael Mcdonald on your album. "Pool of Love" will be a killer single. Nobody sings back-ups like Michael M. Hope you'll be a little more prolific in the future! I'd love to hear you and David Pack together. Hope "Blue Guitars" sells well. It's harder and harder to find quality music. You wouldn't happen to have an E mail address for Michael Mcdonald would you? Keep doing what you do, Steven!

David Tillis from Cyndi Landen on 08/11/96 Message: Dear Stephen: Thank you for your recent appearance in our little town last Friday night. Barry and I enjoyed it immensely and thought you handled the hazards of the venue outstandingly (kids running around, customers browsing all over the store, etc.). We found you very entertaining, witty and likeable (extremely talented goes without saying), even though you thought I did not fit the part of a "roadie" (which of course I don't). We are currently getting hours of entertain- ment from your book and Blue Guitar album. Kudos to you for both! P.S. I love your web site too, just stumbled onto it with a search and was happy to see it. You are such a prolific composer/lyricist I was trying to search for all the titles of your tunes that I could find. Barry returned to the store to have you autograph our 45 of your recording of "Maybe it's You" because we fell in love to that song and have always considered it "our song". We wish you lots of success and look forward to your future works of musical art. Sincerely, Cyndi and Barry from James Bishop on 08/11/96 Message: Mr. Bishop, I've admired your songwriting for a long long time. The first song of yours I heard was the song from Tootsie. When I found out years ago that "that cool Phil Collins song" was written by you, I figured that "this guy was a great songwriter." Believe me, you are. I'm a singer-songwriter myself, and I can definitely say that you are an influence. Thanks for being accessible through the web; it's a pretty neat thing, all this technology that allows artists to get closer to the fans.

Your guitar playing is unique and yet stupifying. Bish, i only wish I could write with the passion you can. When you play guitar is the most expressive instrument around. Anyway, enough of my rambling, really looking forward to obtain a copy of Blue Guitars (impossible to get in NZ) keep writing and putting out the good stuff. Craig from David Racker on 08/07/96 Message: Great new album. I've been a big fan since On and On; your last disc was great as well several years back, but this seems to recall your best work from the past, with an updated feel. You're a great composer and singer; thanks for your talent. Do you ever tour? from Vicki Slaymaker on 08/05/96 Hi! See previous message sent. Thanks. from Chris Madison on 08/04/96 Stephen, Having been a professional in the radio & record business for most of my life (since age 13) I just wanted to commend you for a career resplendent in the dignity of often defying the formulas for commercial success. I haven't seen a copy of BG yet but I will search diligently for it tomorrow. I very much look forward to listening. I recently made the decision to totally retire from the radio industry (for good I hope) and devote all of my creative efforts to the home studio that my wife and I have built over the past few years. My "Wall Of Fame" has RIAA Gold & Platinum Records that I have received over the years, as well as autographed pictures from friends on the Atlanta Braves & California Angels baseball teams to music greats like Dan Fogelberg, John Waite and more. I must admit that one of my favorites (this really makes my wife happy :)) is the one I have from Heather Locklear. Anyway, I would be honored to add an autographed "Good Luck" photo of you joining the others on my ever-shrinking wall space. My Goofy Dawg Productions can use all the blessings we can receive and I would consider yours an excellent one.

A Devoted Fan, J Baust from MASAAKI NAGAO on 07/29/96 Message: Dear Mr.Bishop; I am very happy to have had the experience to work with you. You have been my most favorite musician since I was seventeen years old. I have been singing your songs and playing guitar in your style at my college band. So, at last I got work with you on MY CM FILM! "Now I Know" is a very beautiful song, which I loved when I first heard it. Mr. KATO brought me the specially signed guitar -- I could not believe that. Thank you for everything -- of course, the CM and your song is loved by client. I apologize for sending you this mail so late -- I found your site yesyerday.

Later... from Tom Novak Message:First of all, great looking Web page,Bish. I really do love "Blue Guitars" and it was well worth the wait since your last great album "Bowling in Paris". Congratulations on the new book (really classy looking) and for landing a couple of songs on the new Johnny Mathis CD. You are back on the scene in a big way!! I do want to tell you that "Slow Breakup" from the Garfunkel "Lefty" compact disc is one of the finest songs I ever heard. Your backup vocals and Art's lead vocals mesh together perfectly. It still gives me chills everytime I hear it. Please don't stay away so long again. Sincerely, Tom Novak from Tracy Wolf Message: Hi, I thought I'd drop by, so nice to... E you... :) Hiya, Stephen. I just picked up BG today. Listened to it twice already, and can't wait to spin it again. Nice piece of work... boy, have I missed you! (You're a tough man to find here in Fresno...) Thanks, also, for putting this address on the CD sleeve. I'm not much of a cyberchick, and I'm afraid all this URL, http, web stuff had me stumped; I hadn't had much luck finding you, or anything about you on this thing before now. :) Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hello, and thanks for being a wonderful surprise for me at Tower Records this morning. I've been walking on air, all day... :) I'm sure I'll be by again, once I've had a chance to fully savor _Blue Guitars_. ;) I have missed you, indeed, Mr. Bishop.

All the best Bish.. Fight the good fight (and all that....) from Craig Simon Stephen, I was thrilled to see your new album in the stores. I've been a big fan for a long time. I had the honor of meeting you many years ago when you played The Other End in New York supporting your first album. I was program director of WYNY-FM (NBC's FM station)at the time and Bob Pittman and I came to see your show. You were even kind enough to sit with us for awhile and chat about your career. I look forward to adding your new CD to my collection. (I've kept doubles of your albums in case they ever wore out.. ..now if I could ever find the sheet music I'd be in heaven!) Best of luck, Craig Simon from Jeannette Schein Message: Great to hear you again Bish! I'm so glad to see that lots of folks love your music like me. Any plans for a fan club? I'll volunteer as president!!! I e-mailed you in May but I've since changed my e-mail address. Still waiting for an autographed photo. Thanks for so many years of wonderful music. Sincerely, Jeannette Schein from David Stark Message: Hi Stephen, great site - actually we're neighbours on the Genoa site, I run SongLink International, the UK tipsheet/magazine for music publishers & songwriters (http://www.webcom.com/genoagrp/songlink). I heard your new album the other day at the home of my friend David Kent, a London music biz lawyer and longtime admirer of your music. It sounded really great, must get it for myself and the book too, hope they're both doing well. Coincidentally in SongLink we run a series titled "Stories Behind The Songs", so I can really appreciate the hard work you've put into the project. Anyway, good luck and hope we can meet up sometime in LA or London. Best regards, David. PS: if you see Andrew Gold anytime, say 'hi' from me. from Mike Wieber Message: Bish - Always have loved your tunes. I've even got soundtracks to movies I've never seen such as "Roadie", the 45 rpm of "One Love", and even watched a Jerry Lewis telethon once to catch you singing "Separate Lives" to an audience full of people wondering "why is he singing Phil Collins' song?". I've seen (and enjoyed) Jaglom's "Someone To Love" and caught you on "Thick of the Night" singing unreleased tunes "Mr. Wonderful" and "World Where We Live". I've got Japanese and American copies of "Blue Guitars". Anyway - all of this is just to say that I am a very big fan of yours. Which leads me to the question - is there any way to get a copy of unreleased albums such as "Sleeping With Girls" or "Russians Love Disneyland"? I, of course,am not sure these would include any material that was not released on subsequent albums, but in the back of my mind I've alwyas wondered if there are a bunch of Bish songs out there that never saw the light of day. At any rate, if there's any wayto purchase any of this material you'd make my day.I was very glad to see that "Blue Guitars" was finally released domestically. I have been finding that more and more artists I am interested in cannot seem to get their material released here anymore. My friends and I were sweating out that periodbetween "Red Cab..." and "Bowling In Paris". I'm not sure if you will actually be reading this, but in case you do, depite the cliche, I really do want to thank you for all of your music over the years. I wish you great success with "Blue Guitars", but eventhat is a bit selfish - as success will mean I'll get to hear yet another Bish album in the future. Thanks again and take care, Mike Wieber. |
