msg: Dear Denice,
We spoke at your recent appearance (9/16/05) in St. Cloud. One of your songs mentioned German cowboys. I suggest you google "Karl May" or "Winnetou & Old Shatterhand". German Karl May popularized an idealized fictional American Old West for Europeans and, apparently, was extremely popular. If a 'wild west' doesn't exist in your country, you have to invent it.
Best wishes,
Scott Gibson

I enjoyed hearing you live on KUNI tonight. There are a lot of things I love about Charleston, but the music scene isn't one of them. I really miss being able to see you perform live. I was spoiled living up in Orange County NY and getting to hear you perform fairly regularly. I particularly enjoyed Eric, David and you when you performed the Texas Song Theater at The Mansion in Middletown.

Take care,

You were very patient with my noodling and with the notes that got into the wrong places. I am so grateful! Of course I would be delighted to accompany you anytime you ask, and please come back soon, either to play or just to hang out. Let me know when you're coming and whether there's anything I can help with vis-a-vis lodging, transportation, chocolate, canoli, anything! All good things, Denice!! Norm Wheeler

Here is the rest of the preceeding note that this message box would not hold:

I grew up in the oilfield country of extreme eastern NM (Hobbs), three miles from the Texas border. Eric told me his first wife was from Hobbs. Growing up there probably explains why you, Eric, Guy, Townes and a few others always smack me right between the eyes and in the heart. Anyway, keep working, it is some fine stuff.

msg: Denice,

I met you at the Birchmere in DC. I belive you were on the bill with John Gorka although I'm not sure. "You" were what I remembered from the night. I bought two of your CDs then and have Enjoyed them over and over. We talked that evening and I told you that your Music reminded me some of Eric Taylor. Your smiled and told me that he had produced 2 of your CDs. I was looking at BlueRubyMusic and saw that you have worked extensivly with Eric on the TX song theater. I've never seen or heard the show but it sounds so exciting. The one time I saw Eric he preceeded one song by some free form verse, very Keroak sounding, something about big shiny blak cars, bent chrome and asphalt. It gave me cold chills and when I think of the synergisim of the two of you and another I know it is something I must see before I die. Will you ever do a show in the Maryland Virginia area? If not, where else would you preform? I would fly just to see it. Where is the best place that you know to see the show?? Wow, I can't wait. Your work is powerfully poignant.

I took a 25 year trip down memory lane. If your ever in Los Angeles, send me an email, I would love to come hear you again. I''ve led a rather normalish life... lived in LA since 1986, married for 20 years, 3 kids, (1 boy, 17 and two girls 14 and 6), work as a graphic artist and get home to Texas every year or so.

As you may recall we met at Cafe Carpe (wow, I think that was 2001). I was thinking with summer I'd try to travel with the kids to catch one of your shows (we'll be in Kentucky the 2nd week of July). I signed up again for updates.

Your Comfort CD is one of my kids requests for bedtime listening...do I have weird kids or what??? No really, great music. They are used to my playing it around the house and they sing along to most of the songs. So for their bedtime it is "comfort". Hope all is well and keep up the great music.

msg: Hi Denise and Julie!

Remember me? Maybe... maybe not. I used to hear you years ago at The Fair and other venues. Last time I saw you was at Folk Alliance in Albuquerque, 1998. Long time ago.

I have recently moved back home to TX to be nearer my children. (Manvel is 20 mi. S. of Houston.) I was seeing them only once a year when I lived in NM, and that just wasn't enough. Still trying to get used to this damned heat & humidity! But, Houston has so much more great music than ABQ ever will!!!

I will sign up on your mailing list and hope to see you perform soon. Will also order your latest CD. I have listened to "Rainy Night in Detroit" (on the CD you very graciously gave me at Folk Alliance) so many times I am certainly glad it's on a CD! On vinyl it would be kaput now! Rainy Night... and Indifference are my two very top favorites of yours, but then, I HAVE SO MANY FAVORITES! (I was a few rows from the stage at Kerrville when you and Doug sang there for the last time before you went solo. That was the first time I'd heard you and the first time I heard "How'd You Know." I was hooked!

Can hardly wait to see you perform again!

All the best,

Nancy Britain (aka Taylor Nance, my pen name -- changed my name in NM but nobody here wants to call me Taylor cause they all know me as Nancy)

Mary and I moved to the Seattle area in June of this year, leaving Austin and its music scene behind. The other day I was driving home from work on an achingly beautiful day with clear blue sky and a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier. Mary had used my car and left your CD in the player. As I started down the highway "Rainy Night in Detroit" started playing and I got this incredible wave of nostalgia for all the great times and fabulous music we experienced in our 17 years in Austin - and you were certainly a part of that (In my mind I will always see you wearing a Tam.). Thanks for making a beautiful day even more special.

I think of you so often when I play and sing and have often told tales of your beautiful voice. I bought a tv once just to see you sing with Nancy Griffith. I still play the Shake Russell song that you taught me on my porch in Denton. I now have two kids, twins, a boy and a girl, 8 yrs. old, and Alison my wife, all whom I love wildly. I want you to know how much that I have always liked you, and how the memory of your laugh and smile and such genuine care have always stayed with me. I know that when Jan and I split up we hurt more people than ourselves and I am deeply sorry to you if you were among them. I hope that you are always happy, and want you to know that you are always and unconditionally welcome at my door.

BIG BIG LOVE,

We spoke at your recent appearance (9/16/05) in St. Cloud. One of your songs mentioned German cowboys. I suggest you google "Karl May" or "Winnetou & Old Shatterhand". German Karl May popularized an idealized fictional American Old West for Europeans and, apparently, was extremely popular. If a 'wild west' doesn't exist in your country, you have to invent it.
Best wishes,

I grew up in the oilfield country of extreme eastern NM (Hobbs), three miles from the Texas border. Eric told me his first wife was from Hobbs. Growing up there probably explains why you, Eric, Guy, Townes and a few others always smack me right between the eyes and in the heart. Anyway, keep working, it is some fine stuff.

I met you at the Birchmere in DC. I belive you were on the bill with John Gorka although I'm not sure. "You" were what I remembered from the night. I bought two of your CDs then and have Enjoyed them over and over. We talked that evening and I told you that your Music reminded me some of Eric Taylor. Your smiled and told me that he had produced 2 of your CDs. I was looking at BlueRubyMusic and saw that you have worked extensivly with Eric on the TX song theater. I've never seen or heard the show but it sounds so exciting. The one time I saw Eric he preceeded one song by some free form verse, very Keroak sounding, something about big shiny blak cars, bent chrome and asphalt. It gave me cold chills and when I think of the synergisim of the two of you and another I know it is something I must see before I die. Will you ever do a show in the Maryland Virginia area? If not, where else would you preform? I would fly just to see it. Where is the best place that you know to see the show?? Wow, I can't wait. Your work is powerfully poignant.

I don't if you will remember me, but we worked together at Camp
chrysalis in Kerrville for a few years. You, me and Gayle Gordon painted that camp as camphands, maggot brown and puke green... Remember? I came across your webiste by chance and was so glad to see your photos with guitar still in hand. How wonderful that you are still singing and playing and successful. I took a 25 year trip down memory lane. If your ever in Los Angeles, send me an email, I would love to come hear you again. I''ve led a rather normalish life... lived in LA since 1986, married for 20 years, 3 kids, (1 boy, 17 and two girls 14 and 6), work as a graphic artist and get home to Texas every year or so. Anyway, All the best to you!

I signed up again for updates.

Your Comfort CD is one of my kids requests for bedtime listening...do I have weird kids or what??? No really, great music. They are used to my playing it around the house and they sing along to most of the songs. So for their bedtime it is "comfort". Hope all is well and keep up the great music.

Remember me? Maybe... maybe not. I used to hear you years ago at The Fair and other venues. Last time I saw you was at Folk Alliance in Albuquerque, 1998. Long time ago.

I have recently moved back home to TX to be nearer my children. (Manvel is 20 mi. S. of Houston.) I was seeing them only once a year when I lived in NM, and that just wasn't enough. Still trying to get used to this damned heat & humidity! But, Houston has so much more great music than ABQ ever will!!!

I will sign up on your mailing list and hope to see you perform soon. Will also order your latest CD. I have listened to "Rainy Night in Detroit" (on the CD you very graciously gave me at Folk Alliance) so many times I am certainly glad it's on a CD! On vinyl it would be kaput now! Rainy Night... and Indifference are my two very top favorites of yours, but then, I HAVE SO MANY FAVORITES! (I was a few rows from the stage at Kerrville when you and Doug sang there for the last time before you went solo. That was the first time I'd heard you and the first time I heard "How'd You Know." I was hooked!

Can hardly wait to see you perform again!

All the best,

Nancy Britain (aka Taylor Nance, my pen name -- changed my name in NM but nobody here wants to call me Taylor cause they all know me as Nancy)

Mary and I moved to the Seattle area in June of this year, leaving Austin and its music scene behind. The other day I was driving home from work on an achingly beautiful day with clear blue sky and a wonderful view of Mt. Rainier. Mary had used my car and left your CD in the player. As I started down the highway "Rainy Night in Detroit" started playing and I got this incredible wave of nostalgia for all the great times and fabulous music we experienced in our 17 years in Austin - and you were certainly a part of that (In my mind I will always see you wearing a Tam.). Thanks for making a beautiful day even more special.

I think of you so often when I play and sing and have often told tales of your beautiful voice. I bought a tv once just to see you sing with Nancy Griffith. I still play the Shake Russell song that you taught me on my porch in Denton. I now have two kids, twins, a boy and a girl, 8 yrs. old, and Alison my wife, all whom I love wildly. I want you to know how much that I have always liked you, and how the memory of your laugh and smile and such genuine care have always stayed with me. I know that when Jan and I split up we hurt more people than ourselves and I am deeply sorry to you if you were among them. I hope that you are always happy, and want you to know that you are always and unconditionally welcome at my door.

msg: My children and I were listening to Wisconsin Public Radio one night and they announced the next song by Denice Franke. My kids and I were floored. It's pronounced the same as mine. They thought it was cool - someone else had their mother's name. I quickly bought the CD and really love the music. Thank you for the beautiful, heartfelt music. We are hoping you will come to the midwest on tour in the future. Denise Franke (mother to Calvin, Samantha and Teal)

msg: Denice, Comfort is just as good as any CD that I have or have ever heard. This is the beginning of something for you, its part of your destiny. You have something very special and I am pleased to know you at this time of your life. To see the edge of it coming to you, so much so that you can feel it beginning to implode, and there are those of us that can "see" it and will revel in the satisfaction that this success brings to you. Love, Joy and Passion to you, Connie**

James is great and so subtle and you and Tommy are a lovely mixture of sounds. Julie, sorry it took so long to get back to you but I love the CD and its already one of my favorites. Take care and I hope you have a great summer.
