Your Old School CD is absolutely fantastic!! We love it. We have played it over and over again. The song selection is just the best and your renditions are great. Sometimes we listen to some new recordings of oldies and inevitably, we miss the original tracks; but that did not happen with your CD. Your interpretation of the songs was just wonderful!

Really gorgeous work. You are truly a great artist and we are looking forward to Old School II. Please think about it seriously; it would be wonderful to have another selection of the greatest American songs of all times sung with so much heart and soul as you did in the first CD. Carolina & Luiz, Miami, FL

Rick, Johnnie & I spent the last weekend in October with Willard and Marilyn at Red Steagall's Cowboy Gathering in Fort Worth. Were your ears burning, because we were talking about you and those Colorado trail rides. Congrats on your success. The next time you get to the states, we hope we can make one of your shows. In the mean time, "Happy Trails". Don, Texas

Dear Rick, I received your DVD and watched it for the first time this evening. It's great. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to watch you on stage on a full TV-screen. I also loved the wonderful pictures and footage on the "Old Spanish Trail" Music Video. I agree with many of your writers that say that "Cowboy Classics" is your best CD and now I have a visual DVD to add to my collection. Thanks. Best Regards, Rune Olav Vetas, Norway

I love, love, love the DVD.  I felt like you were right here in my home singing to me. I had been sick, but I felt better just watching it.  Those darn dimples of yours always could get to me.  It really was fun to watch and  Connie & I completely enjoyed it. Thanks again, Pat Wingle

Dear Rick,  That's very kind and generous of your Hurricanne Katrina Offer, I will forward to everyone I know.  As you probably are aware, my ex's family is from New Orleans and they have been affected by this directly.  One brother's house is under water and Aunt Kathy, had the same fate.  We are trying to get housing for them now.  We are also have a fund raiser this weekend and Stephen is having a fund raiser in SF on Monday.  I will pass this on to him. Thanks again Rick, God Bless you, Alan

Dear Rick, You are a darlin'! Your gift to the American Red Cross National Disaster Relief Fund is very generous. Wylie says that this is what 'The Cowboy Way' is all about. Blessings on your talents. Dorothy & Aaron Rogers

Dear Rick, That is very generous of you.  Good luck with all your efforts. Let's hope and pray that all those folks down south receive all the medicine and food they need.  I keep thinking of those whose oxygen is running out... It's all soooo desperate!!! We will keep them all in our prayers for a speedy solution for our fellow Americans. Adios.. Keep up the good work.. Peggy Malone, AWA & WMA

Hello Rick, I am a DJ here in Cortez and my listeners really enjoy your music. Thanks for sending two of your CD,s to me for our Cowtrails Show. The purpose of this e-mail is to thank you for your generous support of the Katrina victims. I left home August 25 headed to New Orleans to visit my daughter who lived there and when I arrived the storm was just coming in. Calling them from Baton Rouge was the plan so I called and she and hubby were on their way to Baton Rouge we met there and waited out the storm together.As I watched the roof blowing off the hotel we were at I could not even believe this was real. I felt like it had to be a nightmare that I would awaken from. When we were able to get gas to leave we did and went to Memphis, to more family. I will never forget the faces of the people the haunted look and the awe of unbelief. Driving up I-10 the seeing the aftermath of this was almost unbearable.Please know you are blessed for this gift of yourself that you are giving to these folks. Please know I will never forget what you are doing. My daughter and husband lost it all except one suitcase of clothes and the vehicle they were driving. Their home is gone their job and a whole way of life. Thank You and May God Bless you and your family every Day. Barb Richhart, KSJD Radio, Mancos, CO

Hi Rick, We received your "Row of Doors" CD and are enjoying hearing you sing to us. Hope your autumn is going well. We've had some 'autumn/winter' here in Colorado and are looking forward to more snow. It was good to meet you in Fairplay. Hope to hear from you soon. Cordially, Jan & KC Evans, Canon City, CO

Howdy Cowboy. Got your C D this week and just as we thought we love it.  You really did a good job, not that I expected anything less....How was your trip? It was really great seeing you while you were here. Happy trails, Don LeClere, Denver, CO

>Comment
Mr. Devin, My name is J.D. Myers, which you may not remember, but I imagine you remember our phone conversation.  I had called because I ordered a Colorado Cowboy CD that had delivery delays and within a few days you responded to my message from Brazil!  I couldn't believe you made the time to call me!  Anyway, you are sending me a  Colorado Cowboy CD from Brazil, which I am sure costs a little more than just mailing it here in the States, so if you need more money for S&H, please let me know! When will Row Of Doors be available? J.D. Meyers, Denver, CO

>Comment
For our first anniversary, my wife and I stayed in Salida and a B&B.  That B&B said we might be interested in visiting MMM singing cowboy ranch, so we did and thoroughly enjoyed it!  You were to be our singer that night, but MMM made a surprise visit and did some singing for us as well.  It was a great evening and we lucked out enough to be able to get both Yours and MMM autograph.  Anyway, I really enjoyed your songs and stories, especially "Momma I'm a Cowboy".  I hope to meet up with you again in Fairplay this October.  Keep the good ole country going!  God Bless your travels and music. J.D. Meyers

Ricko! Received the CD. Looks great -  I think McCartney would smile! Thank you for continuing to include me in the project.  It means the world, and I very much look forward to assisting in getting your musical message out to the world! God bless, Chuck

Hi Rick, Hope your summer is going well. You probably won't remember our brief meeting once last August at the ranch near Mt. Princeton. Your concert was the highlight and kind of defining moment of our vacation for my son, Josh, 12, and I.  After 3 or 4 days of semi roughing it, we went and caught your show on an August night when a republican party event was there also. There were only a couple kids there. You did an excellent array of songs with historic explanations.  It looked rainy so we went inside. I really enjoyed it! I was however, always a little concerned that my son and I would be like passing ships or generations that never really connected as had happened a fair amount on the trip & in our every day lives.  So, I was beginning to doubt whether all the time and effort and struggle of roughing it in Colorado had proven anything to him or whether I should have just opted out and done the Disney world trip that he and his mother vote for every year and I normally veto. Whether the trip on which I had hoped to teach him my values of independence, freedom, reward through hard work and suffering were making any impact or leaving any impressions on him, was totally unregistered on him from all visible signs. However, at your concert he really gained appreciation for Western Music.  Afterwards, He was enthusiastic about  me locating and buying your CD and we listened to it for hours for much of the trip back to Terre Haute, Indiana . Even occasionally singing Colorado Trail melody together, which is really a rare moment for us. (Note: CD was all sold out in the local record stores and your store and we ended up buying  one from the frame shop owner, so it seems like your concerts must be impacting a lot of other people also).   I am listening to the CD this morning and reminded of a wonderful father son vacation and moved to write you.  Anyway, at the end of your concert we met you and we both shared that our favorite song was the one about what your father said, "give it your best".  Needless to say when Josh said this was his favorite song of the night I was deeply touched that perhaps the whole camping "semi roughing it" trip without TV and other forms of corporate advertising had been one of the best things I could have done in today's climate. Just a dad and son in the hills with some horses, hot springs and guitar music to add a little flavor. How can I get the song about fathers and others you sang not on the Colorado Cowboy CD?  Have you come out with any more CD's can I buy ? Keep up the great music and standing for what matters most. Thanks for influencing the next generation in such a positive manner and giving my generation more hope. Lee Lohman, Terre Haute, Indiana

Hey Rick...You must be busy...you haven't even had a chance to flip the calendar!  Hear you had some fun in Bryce Canyon with Willard's crazy gang. Would have been fun to make the trip...maybe next year. Hey, any chance you're available the evening of Sunday, July 28? We're going to do our first fund-raiser at Bearcat Ranch with a very Western theme.  We're looking for music and would love to have you if possible. Many Thanks, Shana, Avon, CO

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.  It was WELL worth the wait. Good luck to you.  Let me know when your next CD comes out. Your music is the greatest!  Best Wishes, Sharon  Wheatley, Golden, CO

G'day Rick, I thought I'd say hello from the other side of the world down here in Australia where we too love our country music, especially the real kind. Being so far away from the rest of the world it is hard to keep up with the news and happening's of great overseas singer/songwriters such as yourself , however we try and do our best. Having come across your website and having had a taste of your music my mates and I have become big fans! Because we live so far away the likelihood of us getting to see you live is remote to say the least, unless of course you come to Oz which would be grouse. So in saying that could you be kind enough to personally autograph the CD/CD's for us? It's great to know there are people around the world who have the same interest in the welfare of wild horse's like yourself in America with the Mustangs and us in Australia with the Brumbies, I wish there were more like us, as without the noble horse both our countries would of struggled to open up for settlement... Keep up the fantastic work both with your music and conservation of the Mustang and I hope to hear from you soon. From your increasing fan Down-Under (Australia). Neil.

Rick, My husband and I stayed in Buena Vista over the weekend at the Super 8 and I was talking to Chris Martin about you.  We saw your show at the Michael Martin Murphy Singing Cowboy Ranch last August (we had relatives in from Illinois) and it was THE BEST! You are a very talented individual and we all enjoyed your outdoor concert and tales of the songs of the west.  Take care and have a great New Year.  Sharon, Colorado

Hi Rick, We are an Western Festival promoter in France and we are actually working on our next year exhibition and looking for you and your band to come. So, we thank you to let us know. Mr. Philippe Lafont, EQUIBLUES,  France

Rick - My aunt, Billie Love, (I think you know her from the Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce) gave a trip to your concert as my birthday present. I have never enjoyed myself more.  I love your kind of cowboy music, but it is difficult to find it down here in Amarillo, TX., where they think that the only kind of music is old rock, hard rock, and standard country.  Although, Michael Martin Murphy does appear at the Big Texan on occasion, so maybe there's hope. Keep up the good work, and don't change.  Your friendliness is refreshing in today's world.  Hope to see you again soon.  Do you ever get to Amarillo?  I could get up an audience.  Judy

Howdy Rick, Congrats on the nomination of the entertainer of the year award! How are things going with the cowboy ranch thing? Did it take off like you expected? I sure hope it did.

Dear Rick, This is the lady from TX with the broken little finger that saw your show at The Singing Cowboy Ranch on 8 August.  Then at the Gold Rush Days in Buena Vista.

Dear Rick, Thanks for the CD and especially for mentioning me in your list of people to thank. I'm honored! I love the CD and I'm so proud of you! I sure get a chuckle out of hearing Adler (4) run around singing "Momma, I'm a cowboy"...he just repeats that one line over and over. It's catchy! Thanks again, Chris, Horse Whisperer, Canada

Its me....Leslie (Elliott) Whitaker. Talked to Bob tonight and he told me he just got your new CD. Then he mentioned your website. I am so excited for you! Although I must say I was very sorry to see that the Tour Info does not have any appearances scheduled for Stowe, Vermont :( Sure wish we could hear you play in this neck of the woods. You know there is always a place waiting for you at an Ossipee bonfire -- with or without guitar in hand! It sounds like things are going great for you. Your own CD, bookings galore, and Michael Martin Murphey to boot -- too cool! Keep up the good work. And now that I know your web site, I'll be keeping closer tabs on you. Your friend, Leslie, Stowe, VT

Hello Rick, Marla & I have been in Missouri for the past week and we are enjoying the CD and have passed on a couple to friends. It's fun telling them that we know you and handing them the CD. We still have no rain and this is the third year for a Texas drought. It's really bad. Hope to see you this year. I am sure we'll be up sometime and I'll contact you prior to coming up, so that we can locate where you are playing. Wayne, Texas

Dear Rick Devin, Hi. I'm Meghan Saletta, age 10 and a half, from Chicago. I just saw you yesterday night at the chuck wagon ride. You might remember signing my brother Jacks c.d. that he bought. You are an awesome singer! The reason I am e-mailing you is because this past May, my two girlfriends and I started a group called bff and we were hoping for some good advice. First of all, we all LOVE to sing and dance and we are VERY good at harmonizing but our problem is that we can't get a good start. We have thought and were very close to trying out for a t.v. show called the "two hour tour" but then we read that you had to be thirteen, which none of us are. We sing pop, country and some slow songs. We know that we might seem a little young but we all think we deserve a fair chance. We were hoping you could help us. Anything is good. From helpful tips to letting us fly in to Colorado or wherever to sing to you. We have 7 songs so far and they are all original and made up mostly by me. Here are some songs with the lyrics... bye! Meghan Saletta, Chicago (Note to readers: I e-mailed young Megan with a long letter of encouragement and words of advise and tips. I wish her much success!!) R. D.

First of all I'd like to thank you very much for taking time to answer to my Email and for sending me your CD and bio kit. It's very rare to find people so kind these days. I just finished listening to your Colorado Cowboy, which was superb. It's solid cowboy music from beginning to end, a true work of art. I started writing a review about this album, as soon as it's out (end of August) I'll rush you a copy for your files/convenience. Thank you once again for everything and Email soon if you get a chance. Yours sincerely, Gianluca Sitta, Country Store magazine, Italy

Cowboy music for the masses. I had the pleasure of hearing Rick in the perfect venue; around a camp fire at on old homestead in a high mountain valley. What struck me most was his depth of knowledge about every song he sings. This cowboy is a true ethnomusicologist. So I ordered Colorado Cowboy when I got home, never expecting that it would be anywhere near as good as hearing the man in person. Boy was I surprised! This is an album that absolutely anyone would appreciate and enjoy. John M. Crouse, Jr. Grand Rapids, MI

Mr. Devin, I recently heard you perform at Copper Mountain during the sleigh ride meal. You were great and there couldn't have been any greater entertainment. And I like the CD too. KC, Texas

Great Band and great music!!! Hope to follow you to a show real soon. You sure do bop around a lot!

Rick, Saw your show in the "miner's tent" not long ago. Just about all the groups there that night were from Texas. Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your show and how much fun it was to be able to sing along and not worry about what everybody else thinks! The dinner/sleigh ride was the highlight of our ski trip. We didn't take to skiing too well, but we loved this whole night! Wish we could do the same thing here in Texas! We really love your CD! Thanks again for a memorable evening!! Beth Durham, Groves, TX

Hi Rick, Nice web page. Your Mom just sent me a copy of the Trail Round-up newsletter and then went on the web page to get more info on you. I went to grade school with your Mom and knew you also when you were young. Your Mom and I have kept in contact over all these years and it is so nice to hear what you have done. You should be proud of your accomplishments and continued good luck. Judy (Cassoli) Collins, Chatham, MA

Rick, Thanks so much for your great western singing. You made our evening a special delight at Copper Mountain with the dinner and sleigh ride. Just wanted to make sure your music and talent would not go un-noticed after the event. Thanks again. Bill Miller

Wow! I got to the web page! VERY IMPRESSIVE! Cool, I can say..."I knew Rick from way back!" Yep..that cute bit of a boy who loved to sit back with friends and strum on that gui-tar just singing his heart out! I still remember the day You, Me, Sharon, Frank and Mike just hung out singing and being so relaxed and happy!!!!! ...Oh those teenage days...when we didn't have a care in the world! Now we have teens of our own...!!!!! Can you believe it????? Diane, Cape Cod, MA

Hello, I hope that you remember Jake and I (Amanda) we came up on New Years Eve on the sleigh ride at Copper Mountain. Jake and I would love to have you sing for our wedding ceremony and reception on Friday, July 7. We would like to talk or see you again to talk some more things over. I hope you are interested!! Sincerely, Amanda and Jake, Denver, CO.

Please add me to your email list of notification when the new CD comes out.  I WANT one!!! I LOVED your Colorado Cowboy album. Pat in Colorado

Hi Rick, I think you might remember us.  We participated in a performance with you at Devil's Thumb Ranch last fall.  I doubt "I Ride an Old Paint" will ever sound like that again.  We enjoyed dancing to your music, meeting you, sharing evenings at the Ranch House Restaurant, and listening to your CD. Good luck with all your endeavors. We look forward to hearing from you again, Jim and Jean Johnston

Hi Rick! Can't wait to check out the MMM Singing Cowboy Ranch in person. Soon, very soon. Just not soon enough! Jenny & Steve

I have been to see Michael and Rick at Mt. Princeton back in the Fall of 2000, they were excellent. Everyone should go and see them perform. I plan on going back as soon as possible, and my kids who are ages 15 and 11 loved to hear them both, too. Thank you

We want to Thank "Rick Devin" for a great performance on June 22, 2001, we loved all of the stories and his new songs. Also a big Thank You to "Mary McDonald" for being so considerate as to making special seating arrangements for one of our party who has allergies to horses & hay, that was totally unexpected and was not requested but was certainly appreciated. Needless to say we really enjoyed our evening and We will Highly recommend the "Singing Cowboy Ranch" to everyone. Sherree & Chuck Vancil Barbara & Charlie Pace

We went to WestFest in Copper Mountain until it was no longer there. When we went camping on the other side of Cottonwood Pass just last week and saw the ad for MMM at the Ranch, we knew instantly we would have to attend on July 4. It was wonderful, as he always is, Rick Devin was great, too. Definitely worth the time to attend a show. Mary Rippy, Indianapolis, IN.

CATS..cindy dovnik and sons.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the horseback ride, concert and dinner on July 4th, 2001. My father took me as part of a family get together. I'm not really 'into' country western music, and wasn't expecting to enjoy the concert. But I REALLY DID! I particularly enjoyed Rick Devin and his Eagle River Band. They were VERY entertaining. Needless to say I was VERY pleasantly surprised and had a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable evening. And the food was great too! Thanks again.

The evening at your Singing Cowboy Ranch was a nice experience. The Chuck wagon supper was excellent. The young people serving it made my day. The setting is beautiful! It rained a little, after that there was a perfect rainbow, and later a double one. It was goose bump time when Murph sang his Trail Mix song  and then Rick Devin sang Night Rider's Lament, as the sun set behind Mt. Princeton. All of the staff is so friendly and made us feel welcome. We will be back. L

Hello Rick, We enjoyed hearing you entertain us at the Keystone Sleigh Ride on the 16th. In particular, we enjoyed your added verse of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and wonder how we can get a copy. Thanks and hope to see you entertaining out there again. Ellie Norwood

Hello Rick, I know you are busy, but I figure you'll read the mail soon. Marla & I attended a MMM Cowboy Christmas concert in Orange, Texas last night and thought of you.  Not that we don't think of you more often, but thinking how down to earth his show was and working with you was in the summer of '99. We hope this mail catches you in good health and may the Christmas Season and it's values be with you always. Wayne McDaniel, Lumberton, Texas

The music on your CD is really cool. Bonnie (Robbie's sister) Massachusetts

I had the pleasure of hearing the magic that Rick, Bill Martinez, Mike Moroff and Bill Miller created that night in Colorado for the American West Celebration. I wish that all of your fans could have been there. It was fantastic. Rick is a heck of a picker and singer. Love Row of Doors. Your amigo Bob Muehlebach, Salida, CO.

I think I saw your FIRST GIG, The year I saw you appear is vague <1972>, but The House Of The Rising Sun was the song. Nice work if you got it and if you got it flaunt it! Gail and I thank you for all the news, please keep us in your loop forever, Joel Devin, San Francisco, CA

Seeing you at Michael Martin Murphey's Chuck Wagon a couple of years ago and hearing your beautiful music was a wonderful experience.  It was extra special because it was a smaller group and we all sat around the campfire.  You are not only a great musician but you are very personable as well. I look forward to ordering your newest CD.  From your last newsletter I read that you are now married.  Congratulations. I am so happy for you.  I also feel you will go far in your musical career.  You are what cowboy songs are all about.  Keep up the great work and, thank you for being so personable with your fans. We hope to, one day, see you perform in person again here in Colorado.  Keep us posted with your schedule. Sharon Wheatley, Golden, CO

Hi Rick, Just dropping you a line to see how you are doing.  Sure do miss not being able to hang out with the gang and have all that great fun we had at the American West Celebration in Fairplay, CO.  It will be an evening I won't forget.  It was a pleasure to pick and play all those great "Cowboy" songs we did together on the stage.  It brought back great memories when I use to play drums for Marty Robbins, who like yourself was a great cowboy and a true friend.  Your CD "Row Of Doors" is a hit with me, and I listen to it every chance I get. I have been in contact with Mike Moroff and we wish that the magic that happened that night could come to life once again. Looking forward in being able to sing around the campfire again soon. Your Friend Always,  Bill Martinez

Wow, there's a lot of water over the dam and a lot of miles from Braintree, MA and my home in Dedham! I just remember that cute little boy with blonde hair who loved to strum his guitar! <Your Dad> Jack has told me about your musical talents, but after reading eight pages of emails, I am really impressed! Will have to get one of your recordings - "Aunt" Ginny

Hi Rick, Thank you so much for the call just now. It was great of you to make sure that our connection is still there. We have missed hearing from you, and now we know why! Gee Rick, you really are the nicest celebrity I know. BUT, remember that we also knew you when you were breaking up horse fights (on the trail ride out of Copper) and also shaking up people you had just met by rattling the out house they were using ...... I remember even if you don't! I hope you realize that we base our friendship on that stuff, not the "Rick Devin, Star" part of your life. Even if you are getting famous, we like you anyway! : - ) Especially since it seems like you won't be Morphing. We sure miss the real Westfest. We made some really good friends, like You and some artists we met. But I just don't think it would be the same even if we tried to attend. Most of the artists I have spoken to won't even go back because they were so burned..... what a shame. Thanks again Rick. We both know you can't have too many friends in this world. It is nice to have the ones we treasure. Best to you and to Vera, and thanks again--Jenny Mathis,  California
