From the Guest Book

   And now for a few posts made to my online guest book that just tickled my heart concerning the CD. (Names omitted to protect the innocent.) Sorry if this is a tacky thing to do (putting these posts in here), but darn it ... they mean so much to me that I couldn't resist. There were more, but I figured it may be going a little over the top if I quoted everybody. Thanks to each and every one of you who posted such nice words, and to those of you who's posts don't appear here. I appreciate them ALL! --M--

 

I remember the first time I heard your CD -- I just kept saying "No way! No way!" That wasn't the voice I expected to hear. And then the next song had a different sound, and a different voice, and so on.

Michael, I am so proud of you for taking that leap of faith and putting it into this incredible CD. "The Many voices and talents of Michael Allsup" should be the title.

I am enjoying listening to your CD. My favorite tracks are: Some Women, El San Juan Hotel & Casino and Sail On Sailor. I really like your soulful voice.

LOVE the CD ... the voice, the tunes, even the CD liner/notes were done in a first class manner.

I just love the CD - I've had to buy 5 of them because I keep giving them away to friends that I believe are worthy of your genius. Thanks so much for sharing your music and your spirit with us all.

Not only is this guy a wonderful songwriter, he's a great singer, too! Michael, going back a few (okay, several) years, I think the songs that you wrote on "Cyan" were some of the best songs that Three Dog Night ever recorded. Now, with "Some Women," you continue to thrill us with your gift of music. If I had to pick a favorite song, it would be "Gulf Coast Ladies" ... a song near and dear to my heart. From now on, every time I eat crawfish etouffee', I think of you!

Listening to that CD is like feeling bits and pieces of this man's heart ... you can't ask for more than that. Except of course, we DO want more! It will be an even greater challenge to top "Some Women" because your creativity completely exploded on this one.

I never get tired of listening to "Some Women." The music is so diverse. There's something for every mood. And after 30 years, Michael, I didn't know what a fine voice you have. Congratulations!

You are blessed with a wonderful talent for song writing and singing. You have a great voice and I love how it changes from song to song. You make a lot of people happy by giving us great music and smiling that great smile.

Michael, You are one Rock'n MoFo!! Your CD is great.

I bought your CD MONTHS ago and before I could ever listen to it, my friend came in, raided my stash and took "Some Women" out. I just got it back today and It's been on the repeat button all morning.

 

So you see? How could I not put a few of these in the book? A sincere "Thanks," one and all, from this music man's heart.
