"I just wanted to drop you a little note and let you know that I have heard nothing but rave reviews about 1969! Silver Cross has been doing this event for 30 years, and they said that this was the best weekend they ever had. 1969 was a huge part of this success so thank you once again. The guests that were dancing on the stage were actually members of the executive board, so that is extra kudos to you. I have also heard specific compliments on the female vocalist and her talent and energy".

"Yep, we were at your show, and the comedy show that preceded it. I went there with a friend from Arlington Heights and another from Aurora, and we all had a blast! Your band is tight (tight in both the 60's sense, as well as in modern day terminology). My friend from Aurora is a bass player, and of course I'm a keyboardist. We were both impressed by your band's versatility in vocalists, as well as the technical chops of the lead guitarist and of yours as the keyboardist. And of course the whole shtick you guys have got going with the 60's theme made the whole evening a lot of fun and so nostalgic. I'll keep my eyes on your band's schedule, because I would definitely love to see you guys again. And I've told all of my friends in Chicago to go see you guys and guaranteed that they would not be disappointed. In the meantime, should you or your band come out my way to St. Louis, by all means email me to let me know."

"Dear 69 band,
My husband & I saw you at The Iron Horse Social Club in Savannah, Ill. in the summer of 2007. You guys rocked! I was up singing and playing the tamborine with the lead female singer and it was one of the most memorable music experiences of my life! We were so hoping that you would be back there this past summer but we never did run into you. I would love to see your performance again and hope that your still playing and would like to know a schedule of your upcoming events. HAPPY NEW YEAR & I'll look forward to hearing from you."

Dear 1969,
"I attended your show in Bolingbrook on Wed. July 1, and thought the band was awesome! The late '60's is my favorite musical era, and a lot of the songs sounded better than the originals! Stik is an amazing guitarist, couldn't take my eyes off him! I hope to catch you again the next time I'm in the Chicago area! I wish we could bring 1969 to Cumberland! You would blow everyone away. I promise this town has never seen a show the caliber of the one I saw July 1st! I'm so glad I was in the area and came down to see you."
Thanks and take care, Vickie
"Just wanted to tell you how much our entire group enjoyed your performance at Taste of Westmont. We arrived at about 5:00 (I Got A Line - Spirit) and we were disappointed we didn't catch your whole show. Everyone agreed you were better than both of the bands that followed you. Please keep me posted on upcoming shows so we can see you from start to finish."
Thanks,
Randy
"I wanted to reiterate: I was "Impressed. Amazed. Aghast. Agog. Somewhat Astonished...and a little bit in Awe" with your concert at the Glen Town Center!
Looking forward to seeing and listening to you again in the future."

"Awesom performance by the band "1969" tonight in Antioch...seriously, their shows are not to be missed. One of Chicagolands most dynamic and authentic sounding bands."

"Totally enjoyed your performance at the botanic garden---even though I'm in my 70's and do not have the energy that I had when I was 34 in 1969, I want
you all to know how much I enjoyed being a part of your wonderful outing.
Thanks you all for providing me with a memory of what the 60's were about--------"
