Just listened to a fuzzy bootleg copy of your last show with the old band, and thought, "dang, it's been way too long since I've been to see Tom at Sean Kelly's!" well, I'll be there tomorrow night and can't wait.

Kathy and Ellen,..THANKS!!! I got slightly obsessed with it this week,...afternoons disappearing into thin air and all that. I like it, though.

Marcy! Thanks for thinkin' of us! We'll be out there in the Spring, I think. I'm going to check and see if you're on the email list for Seattle,..if you are I'll give you a shout this winter about it. If your not,...I'll put you on it without asking,...because thats what sweet marketing is all about!

Marcy

October 29, 2009

Hi! I love your music and miss going to the shows now that I'm living in Seattle. Any chance you're going to be making a swing out to the northwest?

Hey Claudia,

We usually play across the street at the Conor Byrne, but I do know of and long to play at The Tractor. So far, they don't respond to my desperate attempts for showdates. I think I might be coming on to strong. BUT, we will be in Portland on October 8th!!!!...Its just a hop, skip and jump. Who's up for a roadtrip? Thanks for the kind words!!!

A girlfriend of mine who is a Missoula native introduced me to your music. I have your album Glamour Puss & I LOVE IT!!!! Any chance that you'll ever come out west to play a show in Seattle? I know the perfect venue for you - ever heard of The Tractor Tavern in Seattle, WA? They always book great music - check it out at: www.tractortavern.com
Thanks!

Tom, I agree with the other reviewers..you and the clerics just keep gettin better and better. The song writing is strong and the band is tight. The trip to seattle paid off..this one is a real favorite..and i mean the whole thing!!! great job, congratulations to you and the band....Ohio fan club over and out.

Very funky rendition of change your mind! I like the sound....Look forward to the rest of the CD.....I'll see you in Livingston May 9th!

Hamilton was great! Thank you Ellen and silly fan club!!!!

The security code thing is ridiculous,..but so are german porn links. The battle continues!

February 6, 2009

thanks for not giving up on "the scene" in Helena - we'd love to see you back here b/c we don't get over McD's pass to Missoula as often as we used to. Thanks for learning Both Hands on the Wheel for our wedding in June at Lost Horse. (Maybe you'll record your version of it sometime, eh?) I can send you some pics of your band playing it if you want.

Hey, just listening to the compilation disc and doing a bit of writing. upon further procrastination, I noticed you are doing a bunch of Monday night solo gigs at the Slop Hat, I'm very excited! Nothing against the band, of course (even though i do hold out hope that maybe you'll play a gig with Larry and Ritchie some night). Best of luck on the Northwest Tour!!

Michelle-I'll be at the Owl again on Jan. 24th. Don't bring the douchebag...and say hello, if you're there!

Stephanie-you are not a bad aunt. You, ma'am, are a good aunt! ...and your little nephews love you so!

Megan- Thanks for the kind words! God bless the NYE party at the Union. It's a freakin' hoot, I tell you!

Zander- I don't have a tab book of any kind. I wish I did, but I'd have to be one motivated monkey to pull that off. Thanks for the nice things you wrote there. It is honestly a pretty wonderful thing to be able to play music here as often as I do. I LOVE THIS FREAKIN' TOWN!!!! Email me with one song request at a time, and I'll fire off the chords as quickly as I can. tom@tomcatmull.com. Thanks again!

Zander Ault

December 26, 2008

I would love to get a hold of some chords and tab from most of your music. Tom I love your music, it is a great honor to be able to live in Missoula and see you guys live on such a regular basis. Do you have a tab book of any kind?

Megan Dochnahl

December 22, 2008

I simply wanted to say that I've never had so much fun dancing as when I find you guys in a bar in Zootown! I hope you continue to do new years in the Union Club, because we've been thinking about making dancing to your beats every new years!

stephanie

December 22, 2008

Shelly- Good Lord! I think the stars are lining up in the shape of a big "ego fuel tank" for me this week. I'm getting lots of nice notes from people I don't know. Your guest book entry here has totally made my day!!! I'm really glad you like the disc! The band and I are in the middle of a new one right now. I'll try and give you a shout when that happens.

Thanks again for chimin' in!

Shelly

November 15, 2008

PS- I LOVE that the CD is pink!

Shelly

November 15, 2008

I just happened upon Sail On Gone during the middle of my European History class one day at school and I fell in love with the song. It was haunting and beautiful and I remembered it for months after hearing it just that one time. For my birthday, I had my parents order the CD and I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE it. I'm not usually big on bands because I have a pretty odd taste in music, so it's normal for me to randomly like one or two songs by an artist. I could seriously count all the artists that I like on one hand. But I love your music. I've pretty much listened to the CD on repeat for the last month. I put it on my iPod when I went on vacation to South Carolina during Fall Break. I listened to the CD the whole way there and almost cried when my iPod fell in the ocean (it’s a tragic story involving a bicycle and honestly, I would rather not relive it) and I couldn't listen your songs for a week before I got back home. Anyway, the purpose for this rather garrulous message was purely to say that I thoroughly enjoy your music and to thank you for bringing joy to my life one song at a time. On that note, thanks!

Wow! That's one long swear word! Stretch Hummer?? That's nothing compared to my quarter mil RV with hottub/sauna combo. It sure feels like you are flying when going 15 in a 45. I think I might take it to Yellowstone and cause 15 mile cow elk jams in it.

tom

Yo Brad!

Damn this wintertime!!! It should come free skiing. See you at Chico! Luckily, gas prices are keepin' me nice and chipper. 2.09, sir. 2.09! I'm trading my brand new prius in for an 09' stretch hummer! That whole "alternative fuel" craze was so last month!

November 12, 2008

Hey Tom...I was wondering when the disc might be coming out. That way I can start saving money for it. I am one broke son of a ###*!!. I will be seeing you at chico in a few days...Get your beerfaces on!!

Yeah - go back to Seattle ... and on your way there, and also on your way back - PLEASE make a stop here in Moscow. Wait - on second thought, forget about Seattle ... they get plenty of good music. We need you here.

ellen-sanbox is mostly about poop, anyway...if you really listen to the lyrics! The 3rd was fun for sure. The soak was worth coming back for! The 4th, unfortunately, wasn't much different crowdwise. But everybody there was REALLY NICE and we did have fun playing. Thanks for comin' out! See you soon!

ellen

July 6, 2008

oh but we had way fun on the 3rd. You guys sounded as good as ever.

Hi Heather! Thanks for chimin' in. Chris and Molly are obviously a pretty special couple, ...and I know that sounds cheezy, but listening to round after round of toasts given by people truly moved by their fondness alone,...it seemed like a pretty special night. Thanks for the kind words!

tom

Heather

June 23, 2008

Hey Fellas!
I'm from North Dakota, but I was at Molly and Chris Healow's Wedding just outside Missoula this past weekend (June 21), and heard your band for the first time.
It was totally awesome! It really made for a perfect evening! The music fit the whole feel of the wedding, and you couldn't help but get up and dance! I absolutely loved you guys and your upbeat folk music--I'm glad they had you play.

We all had a great time dancing and singing along!

Cheers,
Heather

Tom C.,
That is really funny what you wrote about CD Baby on your home page. I just got an email from them today. They told me they admired my fine taste in music and then offerred me some: Bob Martin, Rachel Harrington and Willie Nelson. I replied back, "you guys are too funny. How 'bout Tom Catmull's latest?" I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Cali Joe

June 16, 2008

Hey man,

The new album is incredible. We burned laser grooves in the first one and had to have it replaced. Any chance you can post lyrics to the unfamiliar "Accidental Blue". I think it's incredibly compelling, maybe even one of your best ... despite the fact I can't figure out some of the words. But then again, as a native-born Frenchman, I hope to be forgiven for my struggles with your language.

joe

June 9, 2008

Hey Joe!

Thanks for ordering the disc! Sorry to hear about you gettn' sick on that trip! Stinks!! Hope you're feelin' better!

Ellen-Extremely cool! We are lookin' forward to that event, quite a bit. At the risk of extreme embarrasment, are we still workin' on a Spice date? DANGIT!!!

tom

June 5, 2008

Dear "Mr. Ash",

Apologies. My older brother turned me on to this distributor, but they will only take a wee little bit of product at a time. And I can only gain there trust one CD release at a time. By the time I'm 60, I should be able to stock appropriately for a new release. I will patiently wait for the intimidating glare of your firms letterhead.

humbly yours,

tom bom

kathy

June 4, 2008

I must have gotten yours, slowpoke!

June 4, 2008

Dear Mr. Catmull,

I write to voice my concern about certain deceptive trade practices appearing on your site, and to request that your marketing director contact me immediately. Specifically, I reference the statement on your opening page, said to be written by you (or alternatively, one of your agents or representatives acting on your behalf and with your authority), to wit: 'new cd is available from this site,...I swear it! - June 3, 2008'." This is not so.

The true facts are that your CD is NOT available, and that my clients - including but not limited to your FAMILY, have been relegated to a purported "waiting list" developed by some outfit called "CD-BABY". Said CD-BABY reports that there are no CD's to be had, which has lead to the infliction of emotional distress, by you, to all concerned.

I am shocked and amazed that despite repeated inquiries, you maintain what amounts to a fraudulent deception on your website. A class action suit will follow naming you, individually, as well as your drummer because well, he's a drummer and he needs suin', unless you take immediate steps to remedy the situation.

Regards,

Jack Ash, Esq.

Karla-Hey! Let me know if you're comin' to Montana! My family would love to meet the Schardin' brood!! Gas prices be damned!
...and yes, the new disc is in!...although I think you were part of the mass mailing that got that info an hour ago, hopefully. Hope all is well!

Pam and Shanna!-For some reason, I thought there was only one N in your name, Shanna. And I thought pammmm was spelled with 4 m's. Dangit! God bless your childeren for their impeccable musical taste and influential parents. Eventually, whatever music you like will be deemed nerdy, so I only want a couple more years of your influence, then I want you to just casually leave cd's near the home stereo, but don't say anything directly about the disc itself. Hope you guys are doin' well! Pam, I put you on the email list. It seemed like you weren't there. If you're suddenly receiving 2 emails for each message, let me know.

Pam and Shanna

May 31, 2008

Hi Tom,
Shanna and I just got online to order the new cd while all the kids are in the dining room chanting "give me one kiss, baby just one kiss...plant one on me lover..." Let us know when we can get it.

Karla Schardin

May 29, 2008

Hey Tom!
Is the CD ready yet? I'm excited to get one! Still missing the good ol' days. Ahhhh.

I'd like to take the family to Missoula this fall, if we can afford the gas, maybe we'll only get as far as South Dakota. Damn Gas! But we'd love to see you play again! Hope you are doing well.
Peace.
