THANK GOD!!!!

We have REALLY missed you and the band, Joe - my wife and I haven't missed a week or at least every few days in talking about you!! You have made my day, my week, and my month - plus we are forwarding your E-mail to everyone we know who is a "TRUE" Rock 'n' Roller. We will be checking the website - and please, PLEASE let us know when you are booked back at the Dreamcatcher - we are already planning a BIG group and party to be there and to celebrate with the BEST Rock 'n' Roll band EVER in San Diego!! You won't know what a "welcome" is until you get ours!!

We DID go up to the Dreamcatcher a couple of times to catch a couple of other groups - but there was NO comparison, no comparison at all! THANK YOU for getting it together again - and we can't WAIT to see you guys again - and again - and again - and again - SOON!! M.R. - A FOREVER Corvettes fan!!

I have had a miserable day and the news of you guys getting back together makes me feel soooooo Good. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Im the guy that always sees you at the Saugus speedway car show. I have the red Corvette and love to get my pictures taken with the girls. Great news.................L.

YEA!!!!!!! Please let me know your schedule of gigs. G.J.

Glad to see your back!!! G.S.

I received your CD today. The only bad thing I can say about this CD is that it leaves you wanting for more! The selection of songs is perfect & showcases all the members of The Corvettes perfectly. This is a superb CD and you should be very proud of yourself for the fantastic job you did. May it sell a lot of copies and get you a lot more gigs.

My sisters, friends, and I have came to see your show many times and never get tired of watching all of you. It's because the show is different everytime. Everyone of you in the band seem to be having a great time while performing. Keep it up!!! we enjoy all your band does to us and for us. Thanks....

My sister and I caught your show at Viejas last weekend. We enjoyed it immensely; high energy, talent galore, colorful costumes. Impressions were excellent. One recommendation, i.e., the Tom Jones routine. Tom always wore TIGHT pants, Chaz. Dump the baggy, high waisted trousers that you're wearing, please, and get into some form fitting, low riding, apparel. See you next time. JD

Hey Joe... what would it take to put the Corvettes on the road and bring them to Knoxville? Some old Brooklynites might like to hear the tunes we first heard on 26th street!

I saw your show on Sat. at Viejas with 4 of my girlfriends and we all loved your show it was very entertaining and the music was great. We all hope that we can see you again soon and take our husbands, we know they would enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks for making our trip more enjoyable.

Saturday night at Viejas Casino was another "blast from the past." We drove over from Yuma to catch your show and, as expected, were not disappointed. It was wonderful! You all work so hard and obviously enjoy it so much. Your enthusiasm keeps these old legs dancing long after they should have been tucked in bed for the night. We hope to see you at Yuma's Midnight at the Oasis this spring. It sure wouldn't be the same without you.

We caught your show at Sea World this weekend. The last time we saw your group we knew you as The Legends. So this morning we knew we going to listen to a group called The Corvettes. As were walking in we hear a song by Dion and I said to my wife "they sound just like the Legends". You guys and gals are outstanding. Thank you.

Joe, Just wanted to say thanks for the bass line in John's song. It sounded great. Thanks for taking the time to put down that track. I wish you and your group the best and keep up the good work. If I get the chance, I look forward to seeing you guys sometime soon.

Great show at Viejas last Saturday (8/21). I've heard about the Beach Boys set but I guess I missed it. Oh well, that gives me a good reason to come out and see you all again the next time you're at Viejas. Great voice, Laura!!

I watched your concert last Sunday at the San Diego Park and loved it. I am a child of the 60's and you have the closest sound to the original Beach Boys that I have ever heard! I missed the lake Poway Show, but my wife went and came home singing praises for your band.

Really loved the show at Viejas in July. The 3 girls singing "Going To The Chapel" was great. Chaz and Butter's song "Lovers Never Say Goodby" is one of our favorites and also Butter's "Unchained". Thanks for great shows!!! We are some of the "Fuzzy Dice" (big fans).

You are BY FAR my wife's and my favorite band of ALL time now. We both grew up here, and remember the days when live bands were IT, man, ESPECIALLY the NOMADS, the KINGSMEN, EDDIE AND THE SHOWMEN, 'MOOGIE' and his group, playing at the War Memorial Building, the La Mesa Community Center, at the FAYETON Building in Lemon Grove before it burned down, and at Garage parties! We really liked Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos, but you guys have done better, you keep changing your 'sets', adding more and different songs, staying fresh, and you keep getting better and better, playing the BEST music of ALL time, better than anyone else!! Thanks for "being there", for being so GREAT and for putting SO MUCH EFFORT into what you do - all of you always look like you are having SO MUCH FUN, and that adds to the experience of your audience.

My sisters and I came out to San Diego June 24-27th. We enjoyed you band at the hotel we were staying at in Ramona. There were 6 of us (one sister could not make it). We had the best time that night, the singing was fantastic... but most importantly, you all were so friendly. My sister & I still talk about it. I wish we had a 50's band as great as you in Denver. Thanks for a great evening!!

Our Annual parish fiesta was in need of some serious entertainment and I have to say, FINALLY we got some! I worked one of the food booths all night, and didn't get to actually see you perform, but just to hear you was great! And when you looked all the way down the booths, you had every booth up and dancing!! You guys were awesome! For those of you who ate the filipino food, I hope you liked it! I hope you guys come play at next years fiesta!! Best of luck to you, you're awesome!

Greetings from Alabama! 'Came across Joe Witkin's website by accident, got intrigued, and here I am! I know a little bit about nostalgia: I performed with the "Box Tops" for a year back in 1976. 'Keep up the good singing and playing those oldies!

Last nite I took my daughter stephanie to Viejas Dream Catcher lounge for her birthday, as she loves to dance. At first I was dissapointed that the band wasn't Makai....BUT, after hearing you play a few songs I was so blown away by your incredible talent & showmanship, YOU ALL JUST BLEW MY MIND! Incredible show, thanks!

You were simply awesome at Midnight at the Oasis in Yuma. Transported us back to high school in the 50s. We danced every dance and you left us crying for more. Come back to Yuma. Don't be strangers. We love you and your music.

We had a wonderful night of fun, dancing and singing on Valentine's Night in Viejas Casino in the Dreamcatcher Lounge with you and your band. We have not had a Valentine's Night like that before in the 19 years we are married! We will definitely come again to see you. Wishing you Carol and all the band members the best of luck with the band in the future and if you continue to play as good as you did on 14th February, 2004 you are not going to be short of gigs to play at! Thanks for the dedication also Carol! It made us feel special. Keep rocking and rolling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patricia and Roger

My whole family, from my 70 year old mother to my 22 year old niece used to go to Viejas Casino everytime you were there. We were all so sad when we couldn't find the band anyplace. We are all as so glad you didn't quit for good! You are the best live entertainment and we all have a blast!
