The Mitch Kasmar CD that you sent me a while back was so well received that I dedicated a full half hour to his music on BLUES-UNLIMITED.

So many great releases from Delta >Groove, how can I not be great! I was checking out CD Baby website and picked up a Mitch Kashmar CD (Crazy Mixed Up World) a 1999 release. He really nails that Little Walter stuff, great vocals, excellant harmonica work!

Just a note to let you know I got Mitch on Friday & I'll have him on the air Saturday. Haven't had time to hear the whole thing yet, but what I've heard is great!

Juat thought you might like to know that both the CDs you sent us - Jackie Payne and Mitch Kashmar have been featured on the show (Shout Borther Shout 0n WXCI). The Mitch Kashmar song, Dead Presidents has been played during our first hour when we select our current top fifteen songs for the last three weeks.

Hi from Sydney, Australia.

I greatly appreciate you sending me Mitch Kashmar's latest CD. Thank you very much. A wonderful recording and I have already presented tracks during my radio programs. Thanks again and best wishes from Down Under.

I was glad to get the new Mitch Kashmar CD because I've never stopped playing his earlier one. Believe it or not, sometimes when I play one of your CD's I draw attention to Delta Groove as "the label that's never made a bad record."

As long as your CD's continue to have the same Blues Integrity, I'll keep on saying that.

At any rate, I hope the artists and everyone involved in the production of your CD's gets to see this e-mail; it would mean a lot to me.

We did receive the latest Kashmar disc and love it here at WBOR, Brunswick, Maine. Talk about having it all. What I love about Kashmar's latest is that it harkens back a little to the "jump blues" post World War II boogie days. Great vocals, great harp! What more could a lover of the blues want. Thanks for thinking of us as usual Frank,,,

Mike Halmo (Blues Director / WBOR / Brunswick,Maine)

Yes, I have been receiving the cds. Check out my playlists for your artists! I am really impressed with your artists and the high quality recordings you are putting out! I know most of them and I enjoy having their recordings to play. I have to try NOT to play them every song!

Diana (The Blues audience Radio Show. NH)

An hour ago my mailman brought me a parcel from you with Mitch Kashmar's new release, it came safe and sound, thank you very much.

His debut on Delta Groove was hot but this one is boiling - with his singing and playing even more intense than on "Nickles & Dimes" and so many more moods in the music and lyrics. All that, together with first class eye catching cover photos makes "Wake Up & Worry" a winner in my book! I'll keep you updated on how the airplay is going.

Mitch Kashmar...Got It!!!! / Better then the last disc…If that's possible.
Bert. (WHUS CT)

Gave 'Wake Up & Worry' a couple of listens this morning. Good stuff! Particularly like 'Half Pint A Whiskey'. Thanks for sending Mitch's new one along.

Jeff Hayward (WMHB, Colby College, Waterville, ME)

Greetings from a very warm Memphis. I wanted to thank you for sending Mitch's latest; got it in the mail on Wednesday and am going to feature it tomorrow night on Soul Stew. I plan on playing 6 or 7 cuts from the disc and the only trouble I'm having is trying to decide which ones as every track is really good! Delta Groove has such a warm, smoky groove to it and I really like that. Mitch's playing is right on the money on this CD, and the mix on the disc is excellent!

Brett Fleming (WEVL FM 89.9 / Memphis / "Soul Stew" - Saturdays 6-9 p.m. CDT www.wevl.org)

“I took the new Mitch Kashmar CD, "Wake Up &Worry", out of the envelope and went WOW! I put the disc on the platter and went WOW again! This CD is so hot, I'm gonna open the Blues Summit Radio Program with a cut off of it for the next 12 weeks! Until I've played every song on it!"

- Roy Prescott WMWV's Blues Summit, Conway, NH

Thank you for the promo copies of Mitch Kashmar's CDs. I will be giving them extensive airplay the next few blues radio shows of min on WSND FM 88.9. They're great collections, and my listeners will really dig them. Thanks again, and take care!
