Robbie,it was nice seeing you at the Relay for Life. You and your band were great. We would like to invite you all back for next year; so please put us on your schedule (2nd Saturday in June). We will work on the time schedule and get back with you on that. We will hope for a little better weather next year!

Basically, I was totally impressed by the level of the musicianship, stage presence, and acting in the performance. Not to mention the more basic entity—the writing of the play itself, which was perfect—an excellent, straightforward, entertaining, information filled vehicle for Buddy Holly’s music.

Several months ago, a friend of mine suggested that I listen to you play and so I caught your Buddy Holly debut performance at Sherando HS. A few nights ago I caught your gig at the Irish Isle, After listening to you play your Irish Isle gig, I could feel your passion for what you do. There are many \"singers\" out there, but there are very few that seem to have the passion for their craft.

Last night (May 17) my best friend and I traveled to Stephens City to attend An Evening With Buddy Holly which was both a play and a concert. I have always been a Buddy Holly fan; I have the \"Buddy Holly Story\" on Dvd and a cassette tape of his music.
Robbie Limon is a local musician who played the role of Buddy Holly and he did a great job at playing the part. Not only did he look like Buddy Holly; he sounded like him too and he can realy play that guitar. The supporting band were also musicians from the area. In between songs Buddy would be asked questions by the band and from the audience about his music and life. He touched upon some amazing facts that you would not know from the movie. A few people danced down front while the music played and caught myself tapping my foot and singing along to the songs. There was also two young girls dressed in poodle skirts! At the end of the show I had the chance to meet Buddy (Robbie) and got his autograph. It was a wonderful concert and now I can say I met Buddy Holly!

My wife and I enjoyed music of Buddy Holly. This is the second time we had the pleasure of seeing Robbies show. We were at Wayside Theater last year (2007) and we look forward to
going to shows in the future.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed
our evening out. We sang along with all the songs (at the new Buddy Holly musical) and generally had a great time. There were two teenage girls sitting in front of us, and they actually seemed to be enjoying it too which is wonderful that they could appreciate the music. My major complaint - it was too short since we did not want it to end.

I was surprised and delighted that ( the new Buddy Holly musical) was primarily a concert. Again, thanks for a great show.

The show was great! I couldn\'t tell what was scripted and what was improvised. I thought Robbie was very creative.

We have been enjoying the music of
Robbie Limon and his band since we
first heard him at Rapahannock Vineyard
about a year ago. So, we enjoyed the
Buddy Holly play even though we are not
fans of old time Rock-N-Roll. All the
actor/ musicians, including Robbie did
very well, both with the ad-libbing, and the music.

As a fan and admirer of Limon, I have
seen him perform maybe 10 times over
the last 4 yrs. at various places. We
especially liked the mix of songs (in his new Buddy Holly musical) that we had not heard before from him-- he warned us that this would be a surprise. Also, involving the lady from the audience was a very nice touch. His expressions and acting add a lot to the performance. He far exceeds any other talent we have seen around here.

The show (An Evening with Buddy Holly ) was fantastic. I saw Robbie at the Wayside in the Buddy Holly Story
several times. Robbie Limon is the best
musician and showman ever.

I wanted to let you know how happy you made two of our listeners:
\'Again, we want to say \'thank you\' for
sending us to the Buddy Holly show
featuring Robbie Limon! We had a
wonderful time made possible by the Just Say It! radio program on The River-FM -95.3 with Jeanne Russell. Thanks again!! Keep up the good
work!\' K&KY

Robbie limon is an outstanding performer and talented singer. The Robbie Limon Band is an energized performance; solo, Robbie is equally enjoyable. As a performer Robbie always brings a freshness to each show as though he were performing for the first time. He has the ability to become the person he portrays, from Hank Williams, Sr., to Buddy Holly. A joy to watch and a fun time for all. He always leaves you wanting more!!!

We miss you at Ledos..and will pop in soon on one of your Irish Isle Nights again...I see from your schedule that you are a busy guy, still. Looking forward to the Buddy Holly show.

This is a quick note to tell you how great your show ( Lovesick Blues- The Life and Music of Hank Williams Sr.)was on December 29, 2007. The theater was packed (500 capacity?). I could not help to notice but a lot of grey heads like myself.
The handout referred to �Buddy Holly� this spring, is it a CD release or a live performance? I can visualize a similar format to Hank Williams for Buddy Holly, as well as other performers as Roy Orbison, etc,
I look forward to seeing one of your performances again, perhaps the Griffin Tavern in January.

-- ---My husband and I were lucky enough to see your show in Strasburg last night. I was looking through the website and wondered if you were going to bring the show back to Scottsville in 2008. I'd love to see it again and would like for my 73 year old sister to see it as well.

--- --We are safely back home in our northern Minnesota home. It was 2 below when we arrived on New Year's day.
We sure enjoyed your Hank Williams show as did the rest of the River Creek folks and have played your CD several times.
We look forward to hearing about your upcoming events and if we can make it we will. Come and play in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota at the Holmes Theater.

Hey, Mister!
Another Monday night, another Ledo's pizza pie! Could we please hear "The Heart of the Matter" tonight? We're coming in for the second hour and we always enjoy all the songs you do...but Maggie really loves that song and she sits there every single time willing you to play it...I told her all she had to to was ASK you to play it....so I am asking for her! Thanks-
