Daniel Hales & the Frost Heaves	Jul 7 2008 12:16 PM Eric...I love this record so much that it has been the wakeup disc in my cd alarm clock for the last month and, even after a month of waking up to it everyday at 6:30 am, I still love it and look forward to it each morning. Thank you. Daniel
Rafa Ferrà	Jun 19 2008 11:09 AM Sure! I think it would be a great Massachusetts-Mallorca connection!

jim	Mar 27 2008 3:23 PM not likeky, as we haven't been invited, but maybe the Cat later or the parade sunday?
Susan Cowsill	Mar 26 2008 8:10 PM Hey National Convention: Thanks! That was a loosey goosey night for sure. Hope you can check out one of our shows sometime when we have our band with us. We'll be in MA this Summer--at the Hatch Shell in Boston with The Cowsills, so we'll probably have some Susan Cowsill Band dates in the area to go with that date. Listened to a couple of the songs on your page--the first three actually. Good songs, and easy to listen to which is refreshing. Thanks again for your attention/ears at d.b.a. the other night. Peace, Russ and Susan
Derek	Mar 26 2008 11:25 AM Yeah, we have computers in Texas. The only problem is when the horse trips on the power cord when we ride him in to town.
Pretentious Fux	Mar 26 2008 9:57 AM Right back at'cha. May 10th will be epic!
Derek	Mar 25 2008 9:18 PM Eric, what the hell man?? Can't a guy add a song to his profile for all the world to hear? All the cool kids are doing it.
Haunt	Mar 22 2008 6:30 PM Can't wait for the 10th, the album is soooo great. Nice work. xoxo

Rafa Ferrà	Mar 14 2008 1:06 PM Mr. Eric Poulin!! Mr. Eddie Downey!! I can't believe!! We have to do a revival concert!! Is this your band? It sounds great...!
Laura Nyro	Mar 14 2008 12:52 PM Thanks for finding the Laura Nyro tribute page, folks. Great sound and I can hear a bit of Laura's influence here and there. Best to you, The Keeper of the Flame
Storm the Ohio	Mar 13 2008 10:45 PM Eric, this sounds great. Too bad that you have so many jerks playing on it! Cheers and congrats on a job well done. This music makes me really happy!!
Mark Schwaber	Mar 13 2008 3:25 PM This record would be so much better if it had cooler people from Western Mass on it. Like Hebert, Cullen, Downey, Elliot, Ayerve, Pinkerton, Johnson, Shine, Maiuri etc etc. But NO!
The Humming Field	Mar 13 2008 2:40 PM What a record. Holy Moly. It does my heart good!!!!!! Big love, Matt
