California Guitar Trio Guestbook

I have your Bach Steel guitar album and really enjoy it. I ran across it looking for a re-issue of Nonesuch's Jazz Guitar Bach LP by Andre Benichou on CD. Your playing is as good if not better than the original (which is not available on CD). It's a thrill to have this music played on the steel guitar again. (My LP is in a basement somewhere.)

I saw you last night at Beacock's Music. You three are absolutely fabulous. I had heard of you before but not heard you play. I am a mandolin player and your performance has inspired me to play and experiment more. Thank you.

Great show in Sellersville on 3/15! Haven't seen you guys since September 2000 in Wilkes-Barre. This was easily the best show I've seen you guys do. I love Echoes & am looking forward to the next disc of originals - "Andromeda" is phoenominal! I too am interested in the PBS video taping and would buy it in a heartbeat. Thanks again guys...Hope to catch you next time you venture to PA!

Thank you CGT for the wonderful musical experience at the Sellersville Theatre this past Saturday evening. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed your show. I especially want to thank you for playing The Marsh, one of my many favorite CGT songs. Please keep us informed about the PBS filming of the show. Hopefully it will become available for sale. Come back soon! Leon Manescu

Thank you for an unbelievable experience at the Sellersville PA Theatre last night. This was our first time seeing you perform live, truly a feast!! Rave reviews on the workshop!! Please come back to the East coast soon.

Thank you for the wonderful performance you gave at the cultural center 13/08! It was a musical journey. It was the first time I had your music, I now look forward to your speedy return so I can enjoy another great performance.

We went to your concert at the Music Mill tonight...just a random date night experience, had never heard of you. WOW! I was impressed by the way each of you has a very technical yet intuitive approach to your instrument. The second half of the concert was even better than the first. Try starting off with another drink or two before you begin, or whatever it was that loosened you up a little at intermission. It's thoroughly enjoyable to watch your passion for great music come through in your movements onstage. I'm the newest CGTrio fan! Thanks again for a great night.

I have now traveled nearly a combined total of 3000 miles to see your shows now. Come to Lincoln some time .... SOON. You guys are undescribably fantastic!!

I was introduced to you guys while I lived in Indianapolis and never missed a show while I lived there. Last year I moved to KS. Today I was checking out your tour schedule and found out that you will be in KS next weekend. Unfortunately I will be back in Indiana celebrating my mother's 79th birthday. I was glad to see that you were scheduled to be so close to me but was saddened by the fact that I will miss your concert. Maybe next time. Keep up the great work you guys are awesome.

I've stumbled upon your music by accident, good luck, while searching for Queen and JSB's Toccata on Google. And, boy, I like your music! Have you ever considered to tour Germany? CGT is great!

I have been listening to your cd's non-stop since you guys left the house. BEAUTIFUL! I can't stop thinking about the wonderful experience you guys brought all of us. Thanks for everything. Please make sure Tom sees this thank you. Peace!

Hello guitars! Will you come to Brasil one day? I hope so, you're great!

thanks for letting me view your guest book and giving me all the information

Wonderful to see and hear you at the Admiral in Bremerton. It had been over 7 years since my wife and I last enjoyed a CGT show. We really enjoyed the new material and the older stuff brought back happy memories of other CGT shows. Great to hear the expanded use of effects, and the unplugged bit at the end is always a treat. Many thanks also to Tyler for mixing and burning the show on the spot, great job (sound guys just don't get enough credit!). Thanks for the music over the years and for your dedication to tour and bring it to us live. Hope to see you again soon.

THANK YOU! My neighbor invited me to your concert in Centralia tonight and I enjoyed it so much. The finale was fresh, fishy and fabulous! Even the people who don't know "Bohemian Rhapsody" enjoyed it. The standing ovation proved that. What a great opportunity for the dance troupe to have such great live music to perform to. My favorite of the evening was Echoes. I really enjoyed the variety and talent you all shared with us tonight. Thanks again for bringing world class music to our little community.

Hey Paul, Just wanted to write a quick note to say it was good meeting you at the Foley's pub in San Fran last week. Already had a listen through some of the music and I must say I like it. Take care and hopefully you will also have the chance to visit Norway again ( hopefully further south than Bodo too ;) )

It's Christmas Eve and we're wrapping presents and making lasagna and listening to your Christmas CD and it's sounding fantastic!! THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!!!! Hope to see you at Shank Hall again!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

Come back to Houston! I know of eight classes of middle school guitar students (and parents) who could sell out two nights worth of any venue you can find!

Excellent tour! And sincerest thank's to you all for sharing with us, all the up's and downs, as well as the concert info for each town. For those of us who, through tyranny of distance/location, are unable to attend - your words and photo's enabled us all to enjoy your tour.... Any chance you might include Canada in your next North American tour? Thanks again, and warmest regards to you all.

I admit I wasn't sure who you were or what you'd do...I was impressed and amazed and so glad I was able to take you in. I know the blue-hairs were lost but I loved it. "Echoes" and the surf music were by far my favorites. I also dug your Bach & that you introduced and described your music. Hopefully this will not be the last time you visit our area.

Seen the CGT at The World Cafe Theater last night (11/10/07). Simply an amazing show. Echoes was the highlight of the evening for myself and my friend as we're old prog heads from the '70's. Incredible! Great show all around. Come back soon guys!

Came all the way from Mesa with my wife who is big fan and caught the act at Schuba's last night. Most impressive. Outstanding. Have you boys ever done or considered doing: Runaway interpolating Walk Don't Run? Could be cool. Tim

Longtime fan who saw an awesome show on Tuesday at Thirsty Ear in Cols. Great to see that you've taken it to the next level. Oldfield must be proud (at least he should be) as your rendition of Tubular Bells was beautiful. Echoes as well as Heart of the Sunrise were moving. Great idea to make available cds of that night's show....great way to re-live such a spectacular show.

Your program at The Narrows Oct. 26 was stunning and so relaxed. Plus, how nice to sell us disks of your show after! It was just amazing, thanks so much. Loved the Gardener's ballad and of course Free bird and the classical ... how rangy and great.

Dear Paul, Happy Birthday to you and for the year to come all the best! Mechthild

Just saw your show at BB King's in New York, you guys are unbelievable! Your music is well done and exciting, and your sense of humor makes the show so much fun. We bought and played your CD on the ride home...can't wait till you return to New York (or better yet, New Jersey!)

I just saw you guys at B.B. King's. This was my first time hearing CGT and I thought you guys were just amazing. I'm into mostly electric stuff, but this shows me how fantastic acoustic can be. Thanks!

Not for posting: I just wondered if the CGT had seen the unique interpretation of their Bohemian Rhapsody on YouTube, by a 'manualist'. I saw a link to this in the German Sueddeutsche Zeitung today.

U R GREAT!I was in Teatro Miela in Trieste yesterday night and u made a wonderful show!Many compliments to all of u!!!!!.....WOW!!!!bye

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY COMPLIMENTS FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE YESTERDAY'S SHOW IN CODEVILLA (THUNDER ROAD). THIS IS A SMALL LIVE CLUB, BUT IT IS OUR SOURCE FOR GOOD LIVE MUSIC (IT'S SAD THAT NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE SHOW OF "ROCK-DISCO-POP-COVER-BAND" THERE WILL BE ALMOST 3-4-5 TIMES THE PEOPLE THAT ASSISTED AT YOUR SHOW YESTERDAY, BUT THIS IS THE SAD REALITY....). ANYHOW, I HAD LOTS OF FUN YESTERDAY, AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON!!!!! BYE BYE

Great music! I was at the Fuori Orario yesterday and I really hope your will be back soon in this a rea. Thank you!

For me and my family was a big emotion listen your concert and see what, you guy can do with the gu itars. My son Daniele is really enthusiastic at 9 year old you was on the even for him.

Seen you guys several times over the years and hoping to see ya'll in Walnut Creek next month. I am planning on bringing my 8 yo son to his very first live concert.

I love CGT!!!!! I've been listening to you guys for years! Please come to Tulsa if you get a chance. Dinner is on me!!!!!!!!! gvespasian@yahoo.com

would like to see you in spain! tour in Europe?

My wife and I attended your show on 2/22/06 at the Ark in Ann Arbor, MI. Terrific show! It's the second CGT concert we've seen, with hopes for many more in the future. We loved singing along with "Bohemian Rhapsody". I was surprised when you mentioned all of your influences with no mention of King Crimson! Mr. Fripp is one of my all-time favorite musicians was my conduit to you. Well gentlemen, thanks again for your wonderful music and please come back to Ann Arbor soon. We love you guys!

Thank you guys for your performance last night. It was truly a fantastic experience to have your caliber of musicianship in the Lauridtsen Theatre at the Lakes Art Center. The audience loved it. The buzz was huge after the concert. We hope to get you back soon. Good luck in your tour and we hope to be seeing you soon.

..digging you guys in central FLA. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw you on your way to Orlando this month. Then I noticed it's a closed corporate gig. Hmmf. Just missed you up in G-ville and J-ville (I was flying the Medevac chopper.) How long do we wait to see you at a public venue around this neck of the woods again?

Thanks, guys. I listened to and enjoyed your music for third time last night in Iowa City. Your audiences appreciate your efforts, quality, and sincerity.

Heard you in Oriental a few weeks ago....you should know, folks are still talking about what a talented group you are. Dave assures everyone you WILL return. You sure left me wanting to hear more. Thanks for sharing your special talents. Sitting at a front table I was truly able to appreciate how each of you handled your guitars. Can't wait to hear you again!

We came up to see you at the Beachland and wanted to say thanks again for a really awesome show! My daughter thought it was really cool that you guys played the 9th-which is her favorite along with the Penguin Cafe piece. Hope to see you back soon!

Performance TCAN 2/17/2006 My introduction to the group. What a serendipitous surprise!! ( sorry a favorite word passed down from my mother) I especially enjoyed the Beethovan and resonance of Fripp.... THANK YOU for coming to our venue and PLease Please come back again soon!!

My first CG3 show was at the School of Rock in Downingtown,PA 2/19/06. I'm a old guitar player from way back and first heard the CG3 perform "Heart Of The Sunrise" live on XM Radio. This blew me away and I began checking out their recordings. "Bohemian Rhapsody" delights me every time I hear it. Their covers are sublime..."Ghost Riders on the Storm" is inspired! The guys did a wonderful show, really musical and professional. Very personable after the gig. Looking forward to the next appearance in my neck of the woods.

Thank you for returning to the Paul Green School Of Rock in Downingtown,PA and giving us a wonderful afternoon concert. The stage switch flub didn't bother me at all as we are good listeners and engoyed a natural aural rarity!Thank you again and continued success to you and yours.

I was at the show at BB King's in NYC on the 15th. What a great show it was. Without a doubt this was the best live music performance I experienced. After the show I got a chance to get some autographs and a couple of pictures from the CGTrio, They were really a great group of guys. (Tony Levin too...he was there) Thank You CGTrio

I saw you with Tony Levin at BB King's last night. Bravo! I think I'll take the drive to Philadephia this weekend to see you again.

What can I say but WOW! I enjoyed your show very much and have ordered some of your CD's. Come back and play again soon.

AWESOME show up in G'ville this past weekend! 3rd time in 11 years for moi.(w/King Crimson 1995 & at Jackrabbits 2000) You guys keep getting better! I brought along 2 newbies for this show. A great time was had by all. Another couple of newbies in Santa Cruz, CA... will be headed to your Winter Park, & Felton, CA shows. Best wishes, & I hope you get to hook up with Mr. Fripp later on this year. Oh... to be a fly on THAT wall!

Your show at the Melting Point in Athens was very moving. I was almost forced out of my chair by Ode to Joy! I wish you all manner of good fortune as you travel around the world spreading the glory that is music. Please come back soon.-- Anne Richmond Boston

Thank you so much for coming to Gainesville, and we definitely hope to see you again! Your arrangement called "Eve" was beautiful, and we've already ordered several of your CDs. Fantastic!

I enjoyed your music a lot, and it made me think of a lot of songs I play on my guitar.

Thank you for the most amazing music I have heard in a long time!! We brought our 2 children to the concert as both are music fans and instrument players. They loved your music ( and being out on a school night!) Thank you for coming to our small, wonderful town. We hope you will visit again!

Another great show Saturday night at the Neighborhood Theater in Charlotte. Nice to see you guys again closer to home. Have a great tour, and please come back!

Great show in Oriental NC Tuesday night. My band couldn't pack that place on a Tuesday night. I was blown away guys, y'alls playing was flawless and I was riveted to my seat the whole time. I hope to see you guys out on the road somewhere in the future. Maybe you can come check us out and see what it's like to "dumb it down" a bit, guitar wise, haha! Take care bro's--Doug Canney www.dougcanneyband.com

Caught your show last nite. Bravo! A musician myself, I had heard of Robert Fripp's technique through a schoolmate who I believe may have been in England studying about the same time frame ('89-90). His name was Donnie Dean but I never heard Donnie play. I was especially impressed with your "circulation". I was the lone soul who gave the standing "O" for that tune. Hope to catch you folks again.

With all this Waffle House patronage you guys are doing, perhaps you should approach them to be a tour sponsor. They provide a nice van and driver and accomodation, and you have a few banners up at shows, maybe do a jingle for radio ads for them. Ok, the idea sucks, but you still should come back to Austin soon

Saw your concert in Charlotte on Saturday, Feb 4. You guys are incredible, please come back soon!!

Saw you in concert tonight for the first time. It was awesome!

Love your music. You guys are great. Keep it up!

Thank the guitar gods, the Trio is hitting Hamilton Canada Oh what a night it will be

Thanks for all the Great Music! you guys ROCK!
