Date: Tue May 02 5:04:22 2006 Lebanon OH I saw Batdorf & Rodney about '74 near UCONN. It was a religious experience. No other concert ever hit the core of my being like that one. I think I may have even told them that on break.(no pick-up intended)So crisp - so clear - so TIGHT! Later - I became an entertainer myself. Tonight I was surfing and just "rediscovered" the music. Now I see Batdorf will be in Dayton in just 2 weeks! My first thoughts are - I can't take smokey bars anymore - alas - it's a smoke free event! That's too much of a coincidence to pass up. But how will it be without Rodney? Thanx for being some of the great memories of my youth. Any chance it was a Holy Ghost anointing I was perceiving?

Date: Mon Apr 17 23:06:44 2006 Toledo - Ohio I saw John and Mark in Beavercreek - along with Harry Chapin. It was a great night of what is now vintage 70's music. I was glad to be able to add B&R to my collection. It is unique and excellent music.

When "Home Again" came out I really liked it and it sold like hotcakes! I recently heard it on my satellite radio. You guys are great. Thanks for the memories!

Thanks for friending my son's band - Under Your Bed on MySpace recently. I saw Batdorf & Rodney perform in maybe 1972 at the Bitter End. I believe it was a release party for your first album together as Batdorf & Rodney. It was great - remember it like it was yesterday. Glad to see you are still cooking. Love your stuff.Best - Joe Marchione

I have been looking vainly for "Life Is You" as a CD -- I still have the record. Please make it available (complete with the calligraphy on the liner) on CD soon. The music takes me way back and since your on the iPod in the OR - maybe a new generation will be introduced to your music. Thanks...Tim Trotter

Dear John:Glad to see so many still remember the WVUD days album rock - and yall duoin us all in on acoustics. Would have loved to play bass for you guys and would still anytime for charity work. since my family lost everything gained in 60 years in Dayton - memories are all thats left. My cousins jammin in Green Light Sunday and Trudy was a blast but I love acoustic too. From the old North side - thanks and good luck John and Mark. Wish Dabico would gather up all the regionals for a compilation but who would the market be - us homeless talkers? Man this place was hoppin for decades with locals. great stuff; later

Mon Mar 20 21:22:46 2006 Hey John back in 1975 you and Mark played in Lubbock Texas. I played in the band that opened for you guys we were called Peyote. We were big Batdorf and Rodney fans. You allowed us to play Home Again. I will never forget it!What has become of Mark Rodney? God Bless - Junior Vasquez

I saw your show last night at Kulak's Woodshed. It was great to see and hear you. I wore out my Batdorf & Rodney LPs from the 70s. Glad you mentioned where I could get the CDs. I bought them that night. I hope the "Life Is You" album is released on CD someday. Keep on makin' the great music.

I owned all 3 Batdorf and Rodney albums when I was in high school. Nice to know that John is still alive and kicking! I'll try to make the Fret House concert.

I'm really getting excited about the two shows coming up on March 17th at Kulaks Woodshed and March 18th at the Fret House...Me & my buddy Spark/Mark are once again driving down from San Jose...YAHOO ROADTRIP! Last night I went onto the live webcast at Kulaks just to check it out...Folks - you have to check this thing out...it is AWESOME and it's FREE. I wanted to make sure my husband could get on & see the show next week while I'm down there (Kinda like a dry run). I highly suggest you all try that so that on show night you can sail right to it...man this technology stuff is sure a great way to be there when you can't be there. Anyway...check it out! Can't wait until next weekend. EVER YOUR FAN - Charlette

I became a fan of Batdorf & Rodney when those albums first came out - and that influenced me to pick up the acoutic guitar. I just wanted to say thanks for all the great music!
