Hi,
Saw you guys for the first time at EBC last month, it was
one of my first dates with my girlfriend. She loves you
guys, and have seen you play all over and was right when
she said I would love your concert. I see on your website
that you have a CD, but I am having trouble finding it.
Can you point me in the right direction? Is it still available?
Thanks,
Michael Salada

Morning, I am getting married next fall and really want
to book Hit-N-Run for my wedding. I am revolving the date
around whatever works for you :o) If you are not available
either day, can you give me some dates, any Saturday from
mid September through the end of October that you would
be free. A mutual friend Tom said that you book up fairly
quickly so I really hope I'm not too late as I have had
my heart set on this :o) I will gladly send the deposit
immediately! Thank you!!

My
fiancée and I are getting married on June 30th 2012.
Looking for a band. Heard you at Rhinos in West Seneca.
Do you do wedding venues and if so how much do you charge?
dawn
s
Mark,
The price of Halloween has been raised to $10 this year
with all door money being donated to Buffalo Charities.
We are offsetting this price increase by lowering our bottled
beer price top $2.00 and our well drink price to $2.00 also.
With the money saved on the lower drink prices after the
second drink they will be even and also continue to save
on the drinks for the rest of the night. Please let everyone
know about the $2.00 Drink and Bottled Beer special. I have
also attached a poster for your website. I have also included
the poster for New Years Eve.
Mike

Hi

party on Sat Nov 5th. This has sold out in the past and
we get a lot of last minute Hit and Run fans show up at
the door and have to be turned away. If they want to save
a few dollars or reserve a table, so they have guaranteed
seating for them and their friends, have them call me at
675-2287.
Terry
Hi
Mark: Well we had our meeting about the event with many
who know you. Shaun, Ziggy, Tony Siresi and a few others.

Last
show I saw at Macs just completed 2 full years of following
HNR. Ironically my first show was the first show HNR did
after they became members into the HOF. The season was capped
with the much-anticipated "Bill" finally going
up on stage.
Jim
I
just noticed that you took off for Macaroons this week.
My ex boss was going with his wife to celebrate their birthday.
Now I will have to go somewhere else.
Steve
So
I get this text from my daughter telling me this is a song
that she would love your band to sing. Moves like jagger
by Maroon 5
Michelle
Mark,
FYI.....They just announced HNR playing at Rhinos tonight
on 97 Rock Club-Calender. 8:00 am Friday
Tim
Mark
any decisions on whether or not you could play for us. That
is July 27, or 28th.
Elana
M
Hi
Mark, Thank you so much for doing this for us. I was able
to do the switch with Diva Show-so were good for Friday
for Hit and Run and Diva Show for Saturday. TY!! Please
send the contract for your deposit. Blessed be to God and
your band.
Norma S
Mark,
Here is the contract for 2012. Of course the same arrangements
as 2011. You know the drill.
Becky
Mark,
We were looking for August 25th and we will have another
75th celebration the 3rd or 4th week in October. Please
let me know what your schedule looks like. Thank you,
Mike
Looking
into booking a band for a wedding June 2, 2012. I'm wondering
about your availability and pricing for 4-5 hours. Please
let me know. Thank you.
Jordan

Hi
Mark, We still need to figure out the exact time. We open
at noon and the parade ends around 3pm. My guess would be
1 or 2pm. Also Daniel Valentine (your cousin) wanted
to let you know that he is one of the owners. He says hi.
Sean
Mark:
Our meeting is this Wed. evening. We did meet with someone
to start the brainstorming idea and was wondering what weekend
dates in July (I know Queen of Heaven- around the 10 of
July weekend and St. Marthas - last weekend July are taken)
and August are definitely out. We may be open to dates if
we don't have the full lawn fete idea. I'd like to have
the dates available going into the meeting. Thanks,
Nancy
Hi
Mark, excellent job at our recent function. I received so
many compliments on the band, how could I not have you back?
Can you please reserve next year for us?
Rich
If
you are going later in the day I would try picking up rte.
240 in Orchard Park and stay on that right until the end.(
It runs parallel to the 219.) It will end at Rte. 242. Turn
right on 242 and that will bring you right into Ellicottville.
Give yourself alot of extra time because it is really crazy
down there this weekend. Good luck. See you there.
Joel
U
guys get the crowd going :) and It s always nice 2 c u!
and I loved the shirt u had on and the pic better b a good
pic u put up :)
Michelle
Hi
Mark, Thanks for the info...it's nice to know that if something
unforseen happens, you would consider me! And I will tell
Terry hi for you, also. Take care, & thanks again. PS
Would you be able to send me your song list? That way, I'd
have a better grip on what tunes I already know and/or would
have to learn, if I should get a call from you someday-and
in what key you do them, if it's not too much hassle.....thanks!
Eddie
K
Hi
Mark, We are finally catching up with all of our vendors

Joel

Caught

in the back. It was too crowded up front and did not someone
bumping into me or spilling a drink on me. Great show. The
band sounds great. Keep up the great work.
Billy

Joe invited you over.

Hi
Mark, How are you? I just wanted to tell you that I purchased
a guitar and amp for Chelsea at the Guitar Center. I was
hoping to run into Guy to help me. Hopefully, I did OK with

Hey
Mark, Looking forward to the fall season at Club Paradise.
Advertising is already out for New Years Eve. I have rooms
reserved for the Whole band. Halloween should also be a
blast. I'm wondering if you are ready with the new years
calendar. I want to start booking but as always I won't
touch the Calendar without Your dates first. Give me a call
when you have a chance.
Michael Muroff Club Paradise
Thank
you for the information, we have a problem with August 25th
due to a conflict. I was wondering if you would have July
21st or 28th open.
Please let me know. Thank you
Mike S (Harris Hill)
Can
you let me know if you are playing on October 29th , 2011
anywhere? We have a limo full (30 people from Batavia) that
would like to come out and see you guys play. We saw you
at the Burger Festival in Hamburg this summer and loved
all your music. Thanks and look forward to seeing you play
on the 29th !
Sandy Baubie
Mark,
I am doing next year-- so are you. I hope you can appreciate
the enjoyment we get from hit n run. We are beginning to
really grow and would appreciate your band being apart of
our continued growth.
Thanks
Mike H (St John Vianney)
Hey
Hitnrunbuffalo, had a great time at Rhinos. Keep us in mind
for a summer party.
Stephanie
Its
always fun watching you guys play. Can you also reply to
what I sent I understand that your plate is very full for
the band. Looking forward to the next time you play.
Phil S
Hey
Mark - I just wanted to tell you my dear mom, Lucille, passed
away Wednesday evening. She is now in a better place. (Being
in her mid 90s) She only got to see you guys a few times
this summer but I can tell you she always had a smile on
her face and a beer in her hand. We have many fond memories
over the years. I have to tell you that the picture she
took with you last year had to have the honor of sitting
on a table in our family room. We often teased her and referred
to you as her "boyfriend". A few weeks ago, we
were able to take her to the casino - her favorite place
in the world - and before we left we listened to one set
of the band playing. We asked her if she liked them and
she said "OK - they're not Hit N Run! Just want to
share this with you. Please say a prayer for this special
"fan". She was one in a million and we are going
to miss her. Can't wait to come see you guys. Like I always
say - it's a different party every time - but definitely
a party!
Peggy Boneberg
Hello
there, My name is Gregory as the co-ordinator for the Local
Music.I'd like to let you know some information on the event
along with some other fun things & other helpful information.
Gary B
Mark:
You remember how my son was joking with you about buying
your corvette? Well, last week he bought his first car (a
2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS)
he is soooo proud of it,
and he asked me if I told you about his car. I completely
Forgot
so now he said, well make sure you tell
him what kind of car I got and ask him if he thinks his
car is Faster! thats when more gray hairs started
showing !
Diane C
Mark,
Great to see the band again, we had a great time on last
Saturday. Thanks for your hospitality (and the shots)! I'm
sure you enjoyed the outcome of the NE Patriots game much
more than I did but it was a good game overall. We'll look
forward to seeing you in our future trips to Buffalo. I
wish the band continued success. Take care.
Steve (From New England)
Excellent!!!!
Julie
Mark,
Who did you end up getting to do sound for ya tonight? In
my bor-dom of being off from work I bought a trailer to
haul the rig around in. No more climbing in and out of the
back of the truck, plus lots of room now. 7x14 dual axle
Al
Hi
Mark - I just noticed that you guys are playing at Ellicottville
Brewing COmpany next Saturday - wish you guys started at
6:00 - me, Lynn, Dave, Sarah, Jen & RJ and a bunch of
others are taking a bus to OctoberFest but it leaves to
go home at 10:00. Sooooo disappointed we won't see you!!!!!
Sincerely,
your favorite ass-smacking fan.
I
was hoping the Oct 1st show was open to the public so that
I can celebrate my birthday (Oct 5th) with Hit n Run.
Bob C
I
heard it (Foreplay Longtime from Boston), it was awesome
as usual
thanks have a great week!!! ;)
Diane
The
Aud had about 10X the people I have seen when other bands
are there recently. It was nice to see that.
Dana
Hi
Mark, I've heard a lot of great things about you guys &
plan on getting out to see you as soon as I can. I just
wanted to put a bug in your ear concerning if you ever needed
a keyboard player. If something ever happens with your current
guy, I just wanted to give you my phone #/email address
in case you're interested. Our band isn't doing many shows
these days-only 2 per month, so I'm on the lookout for more
gigs, & I know Hit "n Run are really busy! I've
been playing the kind of music you guys play & I sing
lots of backup and a little lead. I have a really high falsetto,
which comes in handy on occasion! My main thing, keyboard-wise,
is to cover the tunes as close as I can-I'm a stickler for
exact replication, & especially enjoy getting the sounds
of other "non-keyboard" instruments, like horns,
strings, sound effects etc. And I try to be as active onstage
(as a keyboard player can!). Anyway, take care, thanks for
listening, & I'm looking forward to coming out with
Terry sometime soon to see you guys!
Eddie K
I
stopped by the Aud. Saw Steve there. You guys did a great
job.
Doug
What
is the cost on Sat? Is it open to the public?
Janice
It
was too crowded at the Aud, so we sat way in the back of
the bar.
Denise
What
time will everyone be getting there on Friday.
Mark M
We
will see you next Friday at Macaroons. Hopefully, it is
an earlier start so we can stop straight from work.
Mary N
Nice
Pics thank for the shots.
Lisa
Hey
Hey! How r u? Hope all is well!! i will be at the Aud 2night

ur week was great!
Michelle
Hi,
I come to see you at Queen of Heaven and at a few shows
around the year. You guys are great. I will see you soon.
Shannon
Your
heart is OK.
Julie
What
is the starting time at Macaroons next week? I am bringing
a group up.
Tom
Hey
Mark, Many, many thanks to you and the band....Fabulous
performance!!! I would like to make sure that we are all
set. I am so sorry for the confusion with Indigo I have
no clue what happened with that...Also would like to speak
to you about next years event as well for Sept 15, 2012
at the Fairgrounds again...Call my cell when you get a chance.
Thanks again
Diane
DeMarco
Kimberly
here from Our Lady of Pompeii School. I just wanted to touch
base with you since we are 3 months out for our event with
you. How time flies. It is going to be January 14, 2012
before we know it. As it gets closer, I will forward all
of the specific information. I also wanted to let you know
that we reserved the hall for Friday. If you don't have
an event that night and want to set up then we will be able
to assist you. Thank you for all of your support to our
school. Also, Miss Diane said to say Hi!

Hi
Mark: This is Nancy again from the Center. We are finally
having a meeting either this Thurs. or next Wed. Oct. 5
to decide what we are going to do with a group of people
who have been involved in Barnabas and Our Lady of the Blessed
Sacrament lawn fetes. I wanted to find out if you are still
available the weekend of Aug. 24 (Fri.) and or Aug. 25 (Sat.)?
I would like to know for our meeting, and if so would get
back to you ASAP if we decide to do this, which it seems
likely at this point. Hope to hear from you soon.
Nancy M
Mark,
I can't thank you enough for working with our schedule and
coordinating the keyboard player and every one else for
that matter. I am so elated. You have made our party all
come together and I can't express my gratitude!!! I will
give you a call on Sunday and go over what I need to do
regarding a contract, deposit etc. Have a great weekend!
I know I am resting easier. THANK YOU!
Linda S
Hello

Hey
Mark, you can put the word out (about Joe being endorsed
by Regal Tip); I have Joe up on the site, so go for it.
And I will make it out one of these nights, between RT and
my tour schedule its been a busy summer. Let me know
if I can help with anything else, thanks bro.

How
do i sign up for reminders of your shows-thought i read
that on your site. are you on facebook- cant locate you
and one of the news articles referenced facebook and your
group. i am a big fan and think yall are terrific..Cheers,
Ann
Hey,Mark!
Terry here from 7th Heaven. Great show last night at Clarence
carnival! You guys really had 'em going and even the rain
didn't stop the party! I felt a little bad that you guys
had to deal with that insidious ground hum all night. But
again--it didn't curtail the crowd's enthusiasm one bit-nor
did you guys let on that it did. Very hard to deal with
things like that I know,but you were troopers. First time
I've been able to catch the band with Guy,Dan & your
new drummer (didn't catch his name). Great additions and
I loved all the variety! It's so cool to see any band playing
primarily classic rock doing as well as your band in this
day & age. All the different ages of folks out there
enjoying themselves really warms the heart of us--errr,'old
geysers'. LOL Just goes to prove that great songs are--great
songs. My band does alot of similar tunes,but I think we
perhaps stick more to the edgier stuff all night. Anyway--once
again,we had a great time and keep on rockin'!Take care,
Terry
(7th Heaven band)
Thanks
for the update Mark. We look forward to Hit N' Run being
part of our 2012 Picnic. Jim Serafin is a good man. The
last few years Jim has been helping Jeff in the Beer Tent.
I look forward hearing from you the end of this month. Thanks.
Jim
Hey
Mark,I know you asked me to wait until the end of Sept.
to book but I was hoping you could give me an answer asap.
I have a meeting on Monday the 19th. I would love to share
the great news, with our committee, that Hit and Run is
returning. The dates available are June 15th and 16th 2012.
Sorry to be persistent. Please call me at at your convenience.
Thank you in advance.
Norma S

Hey
Mark, We (The Patriot fans that come into Buffalo once a
year and see Hit n Run every year) are looking forward to
coming to Buffalo (from Mass) this weekend. We're going
to try our best to come by the gig on Saturday at Macaroons.
Hope the band is on it's 'A' game! If possible I'll try
to get your attention during a break and catch up. Really
looking forward to seeing the band again.
Steve Linehan
Mark,

Mark,
It is Alissa...I was just looking at the pictures that you
put up from Windchester Fire Hall...I was looking for the
one that you took of my friends and I. You did not put them
up on the Hit N Run site...if u could email them to me?
Alissa
Hi
Mark, Hope all is well with you. Talk to you in October
about the Crabapple fest... Thanks for always being so nice!!
Jackie
We
had a BLAST! hope your nipples aren't bruised, lol, I tried
to stop them from doing that but we were in rare form that
night and there was no stopping them. That was such a good
time & sorry about being so obnoxious about getting
on the stage ALOT, like I said - rare form. I have no idea
what got into us that we were so crazy! (well, besides the
5+ mikes I had and the pregaming before). Thanks for a great
night & see you next Friday
Mary

my friends and have them go home with such a memorable experience
of our friday night event with Hit N Run playing! Brett

to make this happen!!!
Linda
S
Dear
Mark Not sure if you'll remember me. It's been a long time
since I've seen the band. I also remember seeing you in
a east aurora restaurant once...long time ago. Over 5 years
at least. Anyhow I was wondering the rates for a booking.
Do you ever do small venues, such as outside people's homes
in a backyard? If your taking requests..I'd love to hear
Sweet Home Alabama or anything fast by Journey.
Abigail
Watched
HNR last night (on TV). You were great! :-D
Kate
Hi
--I am looking at finding out how much it would cost to
book the band for a personal event. I am starting to plan
a double birthday bash for next. We are looking at having
a location such as Spring Garden in Marilla & having
everyone they know there. Of course a complete surprise
as well. So I am wondering if you can give me some information
to start with on rates & details with booking them for
this type of event. Please feel free to email me back at
this address. Thank you....
Meghan
H
Hi,
I was wondering if you were available for my wedding on
Saturday, July 28th, 2012 and how much you charge. Please
call or email me when you get a chance. Thanks, Jessica

Hello-I
am planning a 30th. Birthday party for my husband next may/June
Dont have an exact date or place yet but I am interested
in getting a band to play at this event. I was just at Mark
Mahoneys summer bash and I thought you guys were great.
I am best friends with his niece. I was just looking to
get a quote on a event like this
.
Amy

Thanks
Mark..enjoy catching your band..saw u open for Bret.
"Cacciatore,John"
Hi
Guy, Steve and I were busting on Mark and said if you ever
leave, we will stop seeing hit and run.
Tom
S
Mark:
It seems at this point that we most likely will be doing
this event that weekend and would like you to be a part
of it. I'm sure we can work out an amount agreeable to both
of us for you running the beer tent. I will definitely have
a better handle on what we are doing and also the possibility
that we run the beer tent and you guys play for the 2 nights.
I would just ask that before you book at a grove or other
location, you definitely talk to us first. Would us running
the beer tent still be a viable option for you? Let me know.
Thanks so much for your time Mark.Nancy
M
Hey
thanks for the Red Bull! I was exhausted from work and wanted
to stay out to see you guys! I owe yah.

Hi
Mark, Any idea if the (Hit n Run) show on cable Ch20 will

were trying to get the Oct 28th date, we where willing to
pay the firehall a donation if they would have (forgive
your obligation and) rescheduled. When I came back to buffalo

Dear
Mark Not sure if you'll remember me. I was wondering the
rates for a booking. Do you ever do small venues, such as
outside people's homes in a backyard? Looking forward to
hearing the band again this week. If your taking requests..I'd
love to hear Sweet Home Alabama or anything fast by Journey.
Abigail
Watched
HNR last night (on TV). You were great! :-D
Kate
Hi
--I am looking at finding out how much it would cost to
book the band for a personal event. I am starting to plan
a double birthday bash for next summer. We are looking at
having a location such as Spring Garden in Marilla. Can
you give me some information to on rates & details with
booking for this type of event. Thank you....

Jennifer
Hello-I
am planning a 30th. Birthday party for my husband next may/June
Dont have an exact date or place yet but I am interested
in getting a band to play at this event. I was just at Mark
Mahoneys summer bash and I thought you guys were great.
I am best friends with his niece. I was just looking to
get a quote on a event like this. Thank you!
Amy

John

Hi
Guy
Steve and I were busting on Mark and said
if you ever leave, we will stop seeing hit and run. We are
great friends of his, but love to give him a hard time.
Tom
S
Just
a fantastic show at Clarence. The light show made us feel
like we were at a concert at HSBC. You take things to another
level. See you at work this week.
Dan
Mark:
It seems at this point that we most likely will be doing
this event that weekend and would like you to be a part
of it. I'm sure we can work out an something agreeable to
both of us and provide the parking available in the past.
We may be doing other things during the day other than rides
such as a circus and a foam pit for the kids and other things.
I have been calling people interested in helping us get
this together and have had a good response, so again we
may be running it. I would just ask that before you book
another location, definitely talk to us first. Thanks so
much for your time Mark.
Nancy
M
Hey
thanks for the Red Bull (tip)! I was exhausted from work
and wanted to stay out to see you guys! I owe yah.

Saw
you last night. I had to stay in the back since I hate crowds
and it was way too crowded. But you sounded awesome as usual.
Julie
I
am a huge fan of your band and love the music you play and
the sound. But have to let you know there will be people
of all ages here at out event including senior citizens
and the acoustics in the gym are tough, I am just hoping
you can keep it mind. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
Cindy
Hey
guys! Thanks for letting me sit in at Frog Hair. It was
awesome! I played drums for a long time but then I had a
really nasty motorcycle crash two years ago, broke my back
and hip, and haven't played drums a lick since. I really
enjoyed coming out to see you guys. Sitting in was a great
surprise. Thank you!
Victor
Dean
Your
band on the TV show sounded really good. Guy was funny.
It was about 45 minutes long. They showed your interview
and you guys singing a bunch of songs.
Chris
Beautiful!
glad to hear it was a success (I expected no less)...what
is your status for Sept 2011, New Years Eve and next year
for Templetons Landings.
Judd
S
I
have been batteling cancer for the past year and a half
and would like a special song for my daughter and I. I am
the mother of the bride (Andrea) for this wedding on November

for her and I on this special day. I would like to have
you play through My Daughters Eyes by Martina McBride or
Child of Mine by Carol King. Thank You
Diane

Theresa
Nice

Diane
Your
Canal picture is like 4x the crowd that was there the following
Saturday for a touring Kiss tribute band. At least I salvaged
part of the night by catching your last hour at St Gabs.
OK, my last song suggestion. Motley Crue
Kickstart
my heart Picture yourself doing the lyrics When we started
this band All we needed, needed was a laugh Years gone by...
I'd say we've kicked some ass When I'm enraged Or hittin'
the stage Adrenaline rushing Through my veins And I'd say
we're still kickin' ass

Hi
Hit N Run. I got your email through a friend at Lous Restaurant
in NT. What a crowd at the Harbor Series last night. Hit
and Run was amazing and brought the house down and it was
great to see so many people dancing and singing. You should
have played the whole night. I have been to every Wed there
this summer and that was the best 2 hr performance of the
year and the highlight for the series. I am going to request
you on FB. U made a new fan.
Dave
C
Please
see if Yings can have some shows. They want the band to
play 2X per month if possible.

I didn't have the time last night to tell you in person,
but I wanted to thank you for helping make my 46th birthday
celebration one that I won't soon forget. Kris and I were
both very touched by what you said about me meeting the
"girl of my dreams" at a HIT N RUN show. It was
at Macaroon's on October 8, 2010. Thanks again, you are
someone who's friendship I truly value. See you soon,

Hi
Mark, I turned 46 years YOUNG yesterday (you can tell everyone
in the crowd that I chose to celebrate tonight with HIT
N RUN and friends). I really enjoy the night with lots of
my friends and my favorite band. PLEASE play "Talk
Dirty To Me" and "Bad Girlfriend" tonight.
Thanks to facebook, and all the friends I've made through
HIT N RUN, I received over 110 Birthday wishes !!!! Kris,
myself, Jennifer, her boyfriend (Britt), Katie, and her
boyfriend (Paul) all plan on being there tonight at the
canal. I can't wait until Friday either. Macaroon's is my
FAVORITE bar, and where Kris and I met. Thank you for your
friendship,
Jay
P
Hey
Hey Hey! How r u? Hope all is well and everything is going
good w the band!
Michelle
Awesome!
Not that you don't already know it...but... you guys are
AMAZING, both personally and professionally. And you are
100% correct in saying it's like a big happy family, that's
because you treat everyone that comes out to see HNR like
they are family. And they all love you guys for that! Real
friends are very rare, and you definitely are one!
Kirstin
Almost
went to Annunciation last Saturday but I was still recuperating
from Friday. We'll be out to Gabriel's to see you on Saturday

Hit

was just at Starbucks and the girl making my drink says,
"I think I know you." I didn't recognize her,
so I say I'm sorry, I don't recognize you... She proceeds
to tell me that she knows me from HNR -- WHAT!? That's not,
"know me." That's, "I've seen you at HNR.
LOL!

I can't miss our Softball Playoffs that night. I will see

was a touch of magic.

Hi

would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Mark,
very, VERY cruel to play Bon Jovi (at OLBS) when I can very
clearly hear it from my house, but I am not there!!!. I
dont do crowds. It was crazy there. You guys sounded
great.
Julie
I
really enjoy seeing you play on Saturday night. I was with
my neighbors and they normally watch you way in the but
since I was with them, they came up front and had a blast.
Willy was raving about you on the way home, saying you have
an amazing voice and that you should go on one of the singing
shows and get a record contract. They also wanted to know
if you had any more tickets for the Rock n Blues thing.
They would really like to go.
Sheila
Hi
Mark! Great to hear from you! Hey thanks for the shout out.
I figured most people were over seeing you play. We had
a fantastic Sunday afternoon at the South Shore, though.
Great weather, great crowd. That's the stuff. Have a good
show!
Vid

Pat,
As you probably know we are the Travel Agency for LAG. So
Im on the phone with my buddy John Canonico catching
up on life and Im told him I went to see my favorite
band this weekend at St. John Vianney only to find out that
you are the keyboardist for Hit n Run. Just telling you
that you guys do a FABULOUS JOB! I always have so much fun.
Susan

Paula
Mark,

Rick
Great
job on Sat at OLBS. It was hot and way too crowded for me,
but the band sounded better than ever. Great show.
Renee
I'm
enjoying singing (with Studio 54) and it's so great to be
working on my voice again...I'm singing so many different
styles (Donna Summer to the Go Go's) I get to try a lot
of things and I a good vocal workout. I'm kind of goofy
and fun onstage...people respond pretty well to it with
our genre of music :)
Robbie
(Studio 24 band)
It
was a record crowd (for Hit N Run). A record crowd I tell
you!
Kenny
Hey
Mark - thought you might find this funny,And I'm also wondering,
the show you are doing on Saturday afternoon, is that a
full-fledged 4 hour show or a shorter one? Had a great time
both nights this past weekend, was in a foul mood Friday
after work, and as usual, HNR turned it around. Thanks a
million!

I wanted to know if I can give the Buffalo News your cell
number. They want to do an interview with you for the summer
show we are putting on together. I always ask before giving
out a cell number.
Big Jack
Please
send me rates and call me about a summer show for 2012.
We are doing something huge for our 100th anniversary with
a big carnival. We would like Hit N Run to be part of it
and need pricing for our meeting.
Wayne
At
Burgerfest our sales were down the first two days probably
because of the heat. Glad we had Hit n Run on Saturday night.
It saved us. You guys just bring the people in and they
stay and drink. The band does a great job and you have a
very loyal following and hope to work together again next
year.
Sid (Burgerfest)
I
want to get information on the band Hit and Run. We want
to get price and availability for a show.

Michelle
Mark,
I wanted to thank you. My New Years resolution was to meet
a lot more people. I first saw Hit n Run at Queen of Heaven
several years ago and been following ever since. By following
Hit N Run the past several years, I have been able to meet
some very great friends who have become close friends. Just
the other day, I saw someone I recognize from the Hit n
Run shows but never talked to in the past and approached
her to say hi. I never would have been able to do that if
it was not for your band. She I a very nice person and I
no have another new friend thanks to your band.

Laura and Jamie
Hey
Mark, My buddies and I come to Buffalo every year from Massachusetts
for the Patriots game up there. For the past several years
we've stayed at the Mckinley Inn by the stadium. During
our first couple of years your band played at Club Paradise
during the weekend of the Patriots game. Last year we had
to track the band down at Macaroons. I noticed that you're
scheduled to play at Macaroons again during the weekend
the we'll be there (Sept 23, 24 and 25th). It says on your
schedule that the show on Sept 24 is a fundraiser and I
was wondering if it was open to the public. We've really
enjoyed the band and would love to see you play again. Hope
the band is having a great summer. I hope we can catch up
with you during our visit in September. Regards,
Steve Linehan Patriots and Hit N Run fan!!
The
band was great at the Italian Festival. What can I say
they are like everyone else and want Hit n Run back for
next year.

they've had like 3 hours sleep over a course of 3 days.
LOL Chuck R picked up a tshirt for me yesterday when he
saw you guys so I'm hoping to actually get to see you this
weekend. Hope to see you this weekend. :D

with each other. It is more entertaining and cohesive. Congrats.
Joe
Thank
you very much for playing Something to believe in for Denise

Hey
Mark, I hope you guys all had a great 4th! It was beautiful
in Boston and I got to catch some of the fireworks. I was
hoping maybe we could change the songs I do this weekend,
if possible. I know some other stuff and I think it might
be fun to change them up. Obviously I don't have to do all
(or even most) of these, but it'd be fun to try and do some
new stuff. Let me know if any of these can be grouped together.
See you Saturday!
Mark

Well
how about this? If I choose to do something additional with
another (opening band for you) on Sunday afternoon would
your sound engineer be interested in coming earlier in the
day to make that transition easier like we have in the past?
The times will be 2-5 and it wont be more than 4 pieces.
(Hit N Run would start at 7.)
Tim
Hey

Kathy K
Mark:

may recall Im looking to hire someone for the weekend.
Im looking for your opinion or a suggestion of your
own.
Tim P
He
is a tool. I would not worry about anything he says.
Joe
Thanks
for a great night, I can't express how much fun I had. I've
got a dark bruise on each knee from dancing so much &
bumping up against the stage.
Mary
Hi
Mark! It was nice seeing the band this weekend. It's been
such a long time, I almost forgot how awesome you all are!
I had a blast! See you soon!

Shelly
Massive
jealousy everywhere but what can you do lol. We f-in rock

April
We

saw HNR before said they've never had so much fun at a beer
tent Great night - looking foward to Community Days! Thanks
again!
Mary F
Mark,
You've finally hit the big leagues! The Marilla carnival,
better where some sh-t-kickers, they don't take to kindly
to you big city slickers with sneakers!
Rick
How
do I get that NO JOB life?
Pat Annunziata
It
is a tragedy when men (or is it kids) place it a higher
priority on being lazy sitting at home and playing on computers
all day rather than finding a job to support their own families.
Those individuals are not a great example or role model
for their children. I hope their children dont grow
up like them and abuse the system.
Ken
I
was hoping that Marilla was Saturday and not tonight---SHUCKS!
We were going to bring the kids --ARGH! Anyways want to
come see you soon.
Take care and have a good night! Your # 1 FAN
Michelle
Sick
of their Bullsh-t.

Hi
Mark, I hope all is well. I might have an opening for the
Wingfest on Sunday Sept. 4th. Any interest and if so, how
much? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks,
Drew
Hi
Mark, can you send me some posters for the Friendship festival.
Julie
I
have never seen so many women at a show as I did at Frog
Hair. Keep them coming.
Mike G
I
am from CA and moved here. I had such a great time at the
Winchester show and the energy that you bring that I came
to the fundraiser the next day. It is great to see that
you have that same energy whether it is several hundred
at the outdoor show or 200 at a private indoor setting.
See you soon.
Frank
Three
times the attendees and four times the $$$ at the Hit n
Run show.
Dave

Kathy Kline
That
was a great crowd at Winchester. Thanks for making things

we can do, so I can book the hall.
Cheryl

diversity of the songs and the talent of the lead AND background
vocals.
Shawn
Can
you let people know about: www.teamgary.org . This is the
website that was made for my cousin Gary Sengbusch's benefit.
Greatly appreciated! I will be at HNR shows this month,

Bob E
I

Jesse
I
was along side a truck today with a HNR bumper sticker like
mine at a light by Shawnee. Could not see who was driving.
Amy
I
love the pink hit and run tee shirts.
Becky
Never

why u guys are always asked..Like i said b 4..Keep ur head
and chin up high and screw wut other ppl think or say. They
r just jealous and NEED to grow up! Do wut u enjoy and luv!
Michelle
Saw
someone wearing a hit and run shirt and wound up having
a great conversation with a total stranger, but now made
a new friend thanks to your band. Thanks.
Lindsey
Hi
Mark. I want to thank you for the invite and everything
you did for my son. UR a class act.
Tom J
I
saw your band at a wedding recently and felt compelled to
send you a message to say how much fun I had. It was the
best wedding I have ever attended. You made a new fan. I
am not a bar-type person, but I downloaded your schedule
and me and my friends will see you a lot this summer
Kimberly
Thanks,
I will pass it along to Mark. See you out soon...probably
at Winchester as it's right around the corner from my house.
Hope all is well. Thanks again.
Marilyn
looked
like a nice turn out for hnr in Gowanda.
Shelly
I
wish I could be as committed to HNR as some of you other
friends, but I will always do my best to support you and
be there for you. (Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I envy
those HNR fans.)
Donna
Thanks
Mark. I think that photo came from me or at the very least
we took the same photo. See you soon!
Joe M
Thanks,
i have that one, it's on my FB page
Frank
Hi
Mark, I am looking at getting information on Hit and Run
for a show this summer. Please call me at this number.
Kevin
Hit
and run was simply amazing. That was the only wedding that
I have been to where people were on the dance floor from
start to finish. I am still getting calls telling me how
much fun they had and how much they enjoyed your band. Thanks
for making the day so special for my daughter, she also
said her wedding was the best she has ever been to.
Dan D
Mark,
text me on my cell this week. Lets work on something together
for this year. Maybe while you are at Queen of Heaven we

The Road is in the running for 1 of 2 Early Bird spots

Wendy
I
just wanted to let you know that Katie said HNR did a great
job Friday nite (at the wedding).
Michelle
I
am writing to ask if your band would be able to do a benefit
concert for a Foundation Im starting in memory of
my daughter. I would like to hold the benefit concert at
Island Park in Williamsville. I guess I would need to know
if you could do this for me, what you would charge, what
openings do you have in the next few months, and if Id
be able to pay you the day of the benefit. It looks like
youre pretty booked up. Please let me know if theres
anything you can do.
Cheryl
Hi
Mark - My fiance works a friend of Guy's (I know .... you
probably get this all the time). But I am going to beg anyways.
Our wedding is on the Miss Buffalo. I know that you are
booked on that evening, but Guy said that there is a possibility
that you would consider doing this also. If you will consider
it, please call/email. Thanks much,
Barb
I
was trying to send u a pic of you and the sabre from mickey
rats, my stupid phone won't send it thru email I guess.
No biggie, just thought u would like it but there are a
bunch similar already from Bob or Joe,or whoever was "in
charge of pics" of that that night.
Joy
Ok

(think I'm still on a high from it), and what a great surprise
that you do Black Eyed Peas! That's my favorite song by
them & can't wait to hear Kelly do Raise Your Glass.
I was dying to e-mail you last week & tell you I was
coming out, but wanted to surprise you. I may be there for
the Winchester show and if not, then definitely Community
Days. I knew I missed you guys but didn't realize just how
much. Thanks for a great time!!!!!

Just a note to say hi and give you some details for the
event. You will be playing on Friday night from 8pm-12mn.
When you arrive, you may unload your equipment and place
under the tent that is stage left of the stage. The stage
will be yours to set up at 7pm. There will be Opening Ceremonies
on the front of the stage at 7:30 but you will have enough
time for sound check. There will be a trailer for the bands
use as there was last time.
Dana

your schedule and get back to me.

Hello
Mark, i have been to Club Paradise and Macaroons to hear
your band ok! living up here in Niagara Co.,it's a little
trek to your playing areas. I will definitely make the effort
somehow to see all of you play again soon. I'm sort of a
rock musician and singer myself,so i really love all of
the classic rock that your band performs.Thanks for the
pictures,it looks like everyone was having a great time
at your concerts,including some hot girls,ummm you gotta
love it !
Neil
So,
it turned out to be a wonderfully beautiful day for you
guys yesterday. Happy that the weather cooperated for HNR.
[On Saturday] I thought the new songs sounded great and
even though I wasn't in my up front position, you guys were
playing Wait A Million Years... And I stopped to listen...
And it was perfect in my mind :-)
Barbara
Great
job again (at our outdoor show this past weekend). Hope
we can do it again next year.
Dan

Kimberly W
Hey
Mark, Hope all is good with you I"m already looking
to the fall/winter schedule I'm putting together another
Classic Rock show for Fran Cosmo of Boston & Gary Cherone
of Extreme. Would you and Hit n Run be interested in working
with us on that show. Let me know if either one of those
dates works better then the other we would like to get you
in the Rapids. Thanks
Ross
Congrats
my friend (on winning Top band and top male vocalist in
the artvoice awards.) You guys deserve it.
Tony P
Nancy
& I took a quick vacation in the Bahamas (extra long
weekend). I was wearing your HNR t-shirt on the beach and
a guy yells something out. (about knowing Hit and run) Truly
a small world. I'd tell you who it is but I want to surprise
you and send the picture with it. You'll have it Monday.
Rick
Mark,
We were looking at 1/14/12, 2/4/12 or 2/11/12 (all saturdays).
It will be in the school hall and all proceeds will benefit
Our Lady Of Pompeii school. We also reserve the hall the
night before so if you can come in and do set up at your
convenience.
Brian
You
don't realize how much "helping" you has changed
my life. I NEVER would have met Kris if it wasn't for HIT
N RUN. I've met a lot of other great people that will be
my friends for life too.
Jay P
Just
checking to see if this was your new/old address or the
bands generic one. I got a couple of pictures to send you
next week.
Nancy
Hi
Mark, how are things with HNR? See you soon. I am still
in NYC working with some great acts and trying to get my
pilot off the ground.

Laura
Hi
Mark, We are working on our 2012 calendar, so I wanted to
touch base to see if we could get a date squared away. For
the past few years we have been doing that Sat prior to
Martin Luther King day, but we could also look at dates
before or after Lent. Thank you so much,
Kim
I
am contacting you in regards to a show we are doing in July.
We were wondering if Hit n Run could perform. I think with
your following we could get a lot more people to attend.
Please get back to me.
Stephanie

you guys are crazy booked in advance hoping you can make

Michelle
Hi
Mark, I heard that you took the band out for dinner and
treated them to chefs. From what i saw you always treated
everyone very well. I'm sure you did things like that for
the others that used to be in the band, and more. I also
know from personal experience that you are kind to all the
friends that see the band too all the time! I can only imagine
how generous you are or were with your "HNR family".
Sue
Can
you add me to your hit and run email list?
Tony
My
brother plays drums in a band from out of town. He was in
visiting so I took him to see hit and run. He was blown
away. Raved abour the band and every time in wants to stop
out to see you. He wanted to say thanks for offering to
let him sit in and play in front of about 500 people at
the club.
Sean
Thanks
for the pictures Mark!! You're the best!!
Lisa
Thanks
for always making my pain from the workweek disappear every
weekend that me and my friends come and see hit and run.
Music is a great remedy
and the drinks dont hurt
too ;-)
Debbie
Congrats
on your win!!! Miss you - will see the band a lot more now

Nate
How
are you doing with the band? I live in TN now. I miss hearing
you guys. You will have to make me a CD so I can hear you.
I will be back in town in July and hope to see Hit N Run
when I am back in town. Keep in touch.
Chrissy
I
just wanted to say congratulations on another HNR win. What
does that make like 70 awards for the band and 25 for you.
LOL You make the weekends great for me and my wife and are
well deserving of all the awards and compliments. Rock-On.
Bill
Can
we set up a fall Cheers date.
Dave
Buffamonte (Backstage Production)
Mark,
Hit n Run would be the draw for our Biker show. Call me
on my cell about the show.

of The bay, keep us in mind. I would like to get in Hit
N Run at least one more weekday and one Fri or Sat.

We
dont want to lose you, I will consult with the boys

later, it keeps people around spending $.
Chia
Hi
Mark. Just an FYI. We're celebrating my birthday this weekend

birthday bash for me. So, can HNR play my favorites? Thanks

Lisa

doing two acoustic songs.
Patsy Silver Cristofanilli

Steve
Mark,

could do that.
Dave T

to know if Hit and Run is interested in doing our grand
opening party at Club Paradise on a Thursday,
Mike
Mark
- Thanks for the note. I am perfectly fine with Hit n' Run
playing a little longer - no problem on my end. I would
like to look ahead to 2012 - Friday or Saturday in Aug.
I do not want to wait as long as we did this past year to
get you to confirm a date. How can we work this out?
Jim
Thank
you for the confirmation. Paper work will be sent asap.
Will pass your kind words on to Jerry and Jeremy. Your performance
will make a great event even greater. Best-
Tom
I
have many party friends that love to hear new bands and
I must say by far you are the best!
Paul
Hi
Mark, Just a quick question, does the band do any advertising
for places or events they are going to be playing? The carnival
committee was inquiring. Thanks,
Karen St. Jude the Apostle
Hit
and Run, we come from Lockport to see you. There arent
any great bands like you in our area, so we make the trip
to see your band regularly. Thanks for the great times.
Mary
It
was our first time seeing your band this past Saturday.
You are fantastic. My friend told me about your band, but
this was my first show. My friends and I had a great time
at Rhinos and we will be seeing a lot of you. Add me and
the attached friends emails to your mailing list.
Laura
Mark,
thanks for the birthday treats Saturday night, that was
really nice. With so many friends there and Club P and HNR
rockin, it was a great time. Enjoyed it a lot. Janet
was devastated when you said last song. She
wasnt ready to call it a night even if you did start
at 8pm LOL
Mark T
I
love your band. I am an adult. I dont let people who
say they are my friends, tell me where I can go and who
I can see. I choose to see hit and run because I enjoy it
and it is a great time.
Lisa
I
am from WS and brought out some friends who are now hooked
on hit and run, cant wait to see the band this summer in
MY TOWN.
Ruth
Your
band is excellent. I was truly hoping you were available
for our party on 7/22 at Harrys
will book earlier
for next year
Paula
Mark,
I have all the pictures that I took at Club Paradise on
a disk. I will bring it to Rhinos this week.
Bob Caple (Photographer)
We
had a great time with the band this weekend. Guy was a lot
of fun to watch.
Stephanie
REAL
people are hard to come by these days! I'm glad I have you
as a friend
Katherine
Thanks
for the mention. After Rhinos on Sat. Meet me at Garden
view for breakfast. We play at Strikers till 2.
Ken (Wide Right)
Checking
back to see if you are still interested in playing Rhinos
anniversary party on a mid week date in the fall.
Matt
Mark,
I need to tell you about a so called friend of yours.
Joyce
That
was the most fun that I had going out on a weekend, in a
very long time. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Band. Thanks for doing
my song request.
Peter
Mark,
We would like to lock in Friday July 15th (for Italian Fesitival).
Sound lights and backline provided. Make your mother proud!!!
Tom
(Italian Festival)
Sorry
you were no available for the June date. We really would
like a big name like Hit and Run to headline our show at
the Theatre. We are considering moving our date to make
this happen. Please let me know what works for you.
Roger
I
see on your schedule you are playing on May 14th at club
paradise. Their site said they are closed so just checking
to see if you will be there that night. please let me know.
Thanks
Miranda
Thanks
Mark. Please let us know if the date does open up for you.
We are just beginning our search, so I am not sure how long
it will take for us to find someone. Do you happen to know
any bands you would recommend for weddings? We would appreciate
any suggestions! Thanks,
Jennifer
Mark
I appreciate the feedback.
Nick
Thanks
for getting us the show. We really appreciate it.
Your musical friend LOL
Mark,
Can you change the contract and I will give you deposit
for each year. It would be easier for me if we did two separate
contracts (for the multiple shows.)
Keith
OK.
So lets try for a happy hour, maybe even get a patio date
if the weather helps. How about the week of the 8th?
Bill
A
Mark,
I took a bunch of pictures from the Hit N Run show on Dyngus
Day. I will work on getting you a CD of them, since the
file is so large.
Bob
Caple (Photographer)
Here
is your quote for the week. "Excuse the obscene, ignore
the untrue, depictions we see, try and get through."
Toni
Thanks
for calling me up last night, you rock. See you on Sat night,
Marks birthday. Still have to drop off Michaels gift.
Ken

;-)
Jim
C
I'm
ready tonight! Even got my "kiss me I'm Polish"
shirt from the Market. Better celebrate tonight because

Connolly may have had a career ender there

Jenn

Bob

Everyone
loved you guys. Thank you so very much.
Lindsey
(Bride)
Keep
doing great. You had to see what a loser that he was in
high school and you would know why he acts the way he does.
Chris
Hi
Mark -- thank you for getting back to me. I know that (Lindy)
Ruff is still trying to work out the date of the function.
If we can work out the date, we will let you know.

Kim
Hello
Mark, Checking to see if you are still interested in the
Friday night July 15th at the Festival.
Tom
Hi,
My fiancé and I are looking for a live band to play
at our wedding on June 16, 2012. My fiancé heard
you play at a wedding and was very impressed. Can you please
let us know if you are available for the date of our wedding?
If you are, please email pricing information to. Thank you
and we look forward to hearing from you.
Jennifer
C
Mark,
How are you? I see you are still kicking ass. Will you perform
at the show? Just two songs. It is like a reunion and a
tribute to all of you males that rock WNY!
Patsy
Silver
Mark, everyone had a great time at my wedding. Thank you
so much.
Lindsey
Hello!
I would like to inquire about having Hit n Run play at a
wedding on Sunday July 24th. Please let me know if the band
is interested and your rate. Thanks!
Christine
W
What
a great time and show (at the wedding.)
Jerry
Landahl
Great
Show.
Scott
I
googled your band. That's pretty neat. If you're ever in
the market for new band photos I'm available.
Niles
Thanks
again for making the wedding so special.
Bob
Great
Friends + Hit N Run... What more could one ask for? As always,
thanks for a good time!
Emily
Hey
Mark/Hit N Run!! Awesome show last night. I managed to get
there early at 8pm and see the whole show. Thanks for doing
my song!!! I love that song!!! It's one of my favorites
and Amy's, you know my other favorites. I really like the
picture of Amy, Toni and me. See you soon!!!
Lisa
It
was good to be out! I need to do that more often! It was
fun.
Kelly
Hey
Mark and Guy, we all had a great time (with you) at Bob
Seger. What a concert. Got to do more Seger. See ya all
soon KEEP ROCKIN.
The
Hi-View Gang
Hey,
Mark! Thank you again for doing our song. And you are right,
my friends and I appreciate it. However, if you wouldn't
do that song so early, the band wouldn't have to sing it
twice. We are late-comers sometimes. But, just wanted to
say thanks again. I'll be out on Dyngus Day.
Lori
Thanks
for your help with promoting Red Bull and Arizona Tea.
Mike
Great
show at Lancaster recently. All the guys from the old softball
had a great time.
Angelo
Mark,
I just won tickets, to the game tonight. Would you care
to go? They are actually Kim Pagulas tickets, that
she gave to 97 Rock.
Bob
Mark,
Thanks for the photos. And yes, we appreciated it. You did
that one too early and I was like, "NOOOOOO! Not yet.
Too early." In my head anyway.
Lisa
Here
is a saying someone recently sent me. Being kind to
those who aren't so nice is the hardest thing in the world
to do, but it sure beats being like them.
Mark
Sorry
I missed your call yesterday. Madonna and I were out most
of the day. Well I was hoping that Saturday night would
re-ignite the spark we once had. What a great night!
Jim
Gleason
I
am new to the area. I caught the band and thought you were
tremendous. I play bass and if you ever need a fill-in,
I can play 4,5 and 6 string Bass.
Ken
Macaroons
Monday! DZIENKUJE!!! Pronounced jenn-koo-yeh, Thank
You in Polish.
Mark
T
Keep
your head up & keep doing what you love. In doing what
you successfully do, you cannot please everyone in the business,
fans & fellow musicians. If some people don't like something,
well too god damn bad & keep going. YOU please a crowd
every weekend. People all around are saying hit and run
is their favorite band - I'm sure that was great to hear
& that's why you do what you do! The people love it
& you love to do it.
Kelly
For
the first time ever I am going to request that Hit n Run
play a song. "Hold On" by Triumph. I heard the
song on the radio tonight and immediately thought of you
and how great you guys would sound playing it. Hope to see
you out soon. You can dedicate it to me.
Marilyn
Kill
'em with kindness :-)
Brian
Mark.
Im originally from Orchard Park, relocated to Santa Monica
California. Recently moved back to the Buffalo area. I own
my own business as a drum tech. I have worked with many
national recording artist both on tour and in studio. I
recently saw your band play. I must say I was very impressed
with the size of the crowd. Not what Im used to, but for
a local band its impressive. Im VERY interested in playing
in your band. As a result of my relationships with many
vendors, Im personally sponsored and endorsed my Sabian,
DW and Vic firth drumsticks. Let me know if you are interested
in getting together and seeing what I have to offer.
Mike

Hi

in our arena this summer in Clarence. We'd like to have
live music this year and see that your schedule is very
booked. We could do a Friday night, possibly July 15th.
We would have some sports celebs. Please let me know --
thank you --Sue
Olhoeft
Mark,
You guys are the best! I can't thank you enough for the
great show you put on. Everyone is complementing us on the
event and not one person has left out that Hit N Run made
the show! Thanks again, I'm going to write a letter to the
editor for the Bee I'll make sure to include you and the
band in the thank you's. I'll contact the photographer and
get a disc burned for you. Thanks again,

Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)
Haters
hate only the things they can't have and the people they
can't be ;-) Keep focus on the music. You are the best and
that is why everyone comes to see you.
Denise
I
really enjoy coming to see HNR -- A group of friends already
asked me over the weekend to mark my calendar for one of
the weekends coming up. Have a nice day :-))
Brian
That's
a great email & absolutely hnr made the show! Is that
an event they do every year? They must have raised a lot
of money. They do have a website with galleries, that's
good he'll get you a disc burned. It was fun! Sunday when
I went in, they were still cleaning up from it. Too bad

Hello
hit and run, I wanted to book you for a large outdoor show
for the town of Hamburg. We are expecting about 3000-5000
people. But you are already booked for our show date in
2011. Can you recommend another band within our budget.
Please let me know what I need to do in order to reserve
2012. Send me an email at: billjohnson10291969@yahoo.com
and we can do a contract now for 2012, if that helps.
Bill J
MARK,
IT WAS GREAT SEEING YA SAT NIGHT! THANXS FOR COMING OUT
TO SEE US! YOU SOUNDED GREAT,
JIM CREAN (Hair Nation)
Hi
Mark! Had a great time on Friday!! Thanks for letting me
shake a little a$$ on stage! Lol ;)
Terra
Awesome
turnout last night (at St Marys). I am glad that I stopped
out for a bit.
Bob C
Ive
seen you guys tons of time and Id say yes to both.
Yes we are expecting around 900 to 1200 people. No fireworks
that date Sunday and Monday only. Park will be fully open
with rides, games, and food, Etc on this date. Hours needed
7 till 11. We have Sound and will have stage
Julie
Hey
Mark, Any word on where you will be playing April 9th (did
club paradise get their liquor license back?)...as a large
group of us will be out that nite celebrating my husband's
40th and would love to come see you play. Thanks!
Dannielle
Hello,
I'm from a non- for profit group we are in need of your
band. We are looking for a booking in between the dates
of July 1st to July 4th I viewed your online calendar and
see you are open for some of those dates. Fifty-five years
strong! The international flavor of the FESTIVAL brings
together a collection of food, live music and entertainment;
cultural , arts and crafts activities and a host of events
for children and their extended families. Thousands of people
attend. Any other info please let me know
Julie
Hi
Mark - Hope all is well with you and the band. I've been
charged with the task of handling the entertainment at their
festival this year. I'm hoping Hit-N-Run will agree to perform
this year. It's a cool festival that's on its fifth year.
Growing every year and very very well attended. Their intention
is to present it as a 'music festival' as opposed to a lawn
fete so they use the municipal trailer stage. All in all
a very fun and cool event. Just wanted to reach out to you
personally. Thanks. All the best to you
Jeremy
Just
following up to be sure all is set with the changes and
that the information has been received. Please let me know
if there is anything either of you need.
Michelle
Give
me a price for the Sunday show.
Tom
Mark:
I have a small request, on your site you list the event
as the Bless the bikes show- Can you please change that
to say Lonelyones Motorcycle Blessing. The reason is that
it is a well known event and people will recognize it and
create a bigger draw. Thanks
Dan C

Please make the changes and forward it back to me and I
will get the deposit over to you. Thanks
Dan C
One
of the guys from another band was saying how this other
guitarist (from another band that he used to play in) was
bragging that his band was the best. I told him that honor
of top band goes to Hit n Run. He then agreed.
Ken Kolniak (Wide Right).
Dear
Mark: I do wish to let you know how much I appreciate the
working relationship we have developed and have always been
pleased with the success we have experienced employing Hit
N Run. I truly put an enormous amount of time and effort
into our carnival and am very proud of the results I have
been able to generate for this organization. I value your
opinions and always appreciate the thoughts of talented
individuals, so feel free to share any with me.
Tim P
Hi
Hit n Run, I am in a band from Rochester and was out to
see you at Macaroons last week. I just wanted to let you
know that I was blown away by the band. We do a lot of the
same material, but you do a wider variety and it all sounds
the original. I am coming back to town next month and bringing
a bunch of friends with me.
Dave
Hi
Mark: Banchetti by Rizzo's is interested in having your
group play at one of our outdoor concerts on a Wednesday
night this summer. Can you please call me to discuss this
when you have a minute? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks-and
I look forward to hearing from you!
Kelly
Hi
Mark, just a reminder to e-mail me details about our show.
Thanks
Tom
Mark,
I have been seeing Hit n Run for years. I just wanted to
let you know, I think the current lineup (that have been
in the band for over a year) have been the most entertaining
of any lineup that I have seen. You always had talented
people.
Bill
Mark,
Contract was sent out last week . should be getting anytime
now but I will check w/ Deb
Dana
HI
Mark, At your earliest convenience, please return a signed
copy of the tax information to me. Thank you. If you have
any questions, please feel free to call.
Tina C
Mark.
I had a great time at the show. First time I was ever in
Macaroons. You sounded great as usual. I will be back there
next month with a bunch of people for my birthday. I hope
that you are still planning on playing ball with us this
summer.
Tony
I
was at a recent show for xxxxx. I need to tell you what
they said over the microphone. Email me and I will explain.
It was not nice what the other band said during their performance.
I occasionally see them when Hit and Run is not playing
or doing a private show. I am out to have fun and listen
to music, not to hear others use that as a forum to trash
other people, who I like and consider my friends. They just
lost me and my friends because we will not see them again.
See you this week at Rhinos. We will try for the Saturday
show, but a few of my friends are going out of town.
Sue
Mark,
I have re-written the information to reflect the items below.
You should expect it in the mail soon.
DE
Ahhh,
I found that metro paper in my pile of mail on the kitchen
table. I can't believe I didn't see it when I grabbed it
out the mailbox - your right on the front page, you rockstar!
Chris
Thank
you, Mark, for the speedy response and for your home phone
number... i'm going to try to call you this evening at home.
i'm thinking, at this point, that if we can come to an agreement
and Hit 'n' Run appears.
Jim P
Hi
Guy, you were hilarious last weekend. What a great time
we had.
Tracey
Mark,

Thanks
for letting me sit in. You guys sounded great. I have always
respected you and the way the band has been run. I never
bought into the other petty BS. Always a pleasure. Who knows,
maybe Guy will need a night off and you will need a fill-in.
David Mucha (McCarthyism)
Dear
Mark: You are amazing! Thank you so much for the plug in
the Metro for our fundraiser next week at Macroons. I can't
tell you how much we appreciate it and every cent raised
goes to the care and feeding of our rescued animals. Hoping
to make a lot of $$$ for our shelter. Thanks again.
Helen T (Second Chance Animal Shelter)

So
last night I go to a karaoke party and some hack gets up
and ruins one of my favorite songs, Separate Ways. You need
to bring your A game tonight to Rhinos and erase my
memory of last night and make that a great song again. Yeah
I think you could do that. Thanks Marky!
Mark T
That's
super cool that song by you & Wendy is on the top 25!
I thought you guys were going to sing it at Macs. I love
it, it's a great song!

Hi
Mark, So glad you guys got Moog again. I'm surprised though
Don usually likes to put a break in between. So I will see
you Sat. My brother and new wife will also be there. Looking
forward to it.
Gail
We
look at you as the Actual Gucci that you buy in Manhattan,
and the others like the counterfit ones you buy in the back
alley of Chinatown.
Ken
Hey
there, You guys sounded great at the Alden Winterfest Snowball
Dance on Saturday night. Thanks! We're trying to put an
event together on Sunday, August 7. I noticed on your calendar
that you have that day open and wondered if you could tell
me what you charge and for how many hours. Thanks a lot!
Michele H

Michelle B (Auction Co-Chair)
Mark,
I have seen you several times and most recently at the Aud.
Simply amazing. The best local band that I have ever seen.
I want to do a large outdoor function on my land. I was
wondering what the cost would be to have Hit and Run there.
Nick
Hey

rocked, just checked out the photos, crazy night. Hope to
see you guys out again soon!! Luv,
Melinda
Mark,

N Run shows...this year and last year.
Bob
Mark,
Hello! It's Jenn. I talked to you about the fundraiser (Buffalo
Envy Cheerleading) that I am having at Macaroon's on March
11th. Is it possible for you to put some information about
it on your website or in one of the emails that you send
out? I am trying to get as much exposure as I can get to
make the fundraiser for the cheerleaders a huge success.
Thanks!
Jennifer G
The
group of people you've assembled this past year has been
nothing short of amazing!! I know it's been a lot of work
but HNR has never sounded better!! I'm proud to have met
all of you! I'm even more proud to be able to call all of
you my friends!! Much success in the future!!
Roger

singer, Id be interested in discussing it.
Cris

Mark, Looking for availability for a few festivals this
year. The Pirates festival in Ollcott that spoke about last
year and the Taste of Buffalo. Both fall on the same weekend
July 8-10 for Pirate's and 9 and 10 for Taste. We are changing
over the the Buckin' Buffalo to a rock room with availability
on Friday nights. I know this is going to be a good fit
for you. The "Buck" will continue to pull in the
pretty young girls off Chippewa to ride the bucking buffalo
and the 97 rockers for the music. Buffalo MRI will want
you again for the Christmas party. If you are interested
in returning, please let me know. Best

the show for an interview/performance to talk about what
you have coming up
Greg B
Not
sure if you book this far out yet, but we have a wedding
date of September 8, 2012. Either way I was looking for
some info regarding pricing. Thanks.
Scott
Mark,
This is Dennis Mooney, Jeff & I plus a few others bought
tickets to Macaroons (Buffalo Envy Cheerleading) on March
11. The event starts at 7:00, however, what time are you
going to start playing? I have v-ball playoffs that night,
and want to kinda know what i'm doing. Thanks for the heads
up
Dennis
Hi
Mark - we still need to talk about (booking Hit n Run for)
Templeton Terrace...
Judd
We
think the perfect time for Hit n Run would be the afternoon
slot. It is typically a little slower in the afternoon and
we think that Hit n Run's drawing power will help with that
and help us break a record.
Mike T
Just
two quick questions is there charges for anything at the
wine fest and will there also be adult beverages, thank
you
jennifer
Great
Time Friday (at Seneca Hose).
Kathy Kline
I'm hoping to book your band. I have some dates in mind
please call me so that we can work something out.
EB
Great setlist. Keep on rockin'.
Dan Green
Hi, there
Just curious about the booking that you have
listed on your schedule on February 5 at Club Paradise.
When we went to take a look at that site it says "CLOSED"
across the top of the site. Since we're coming from Canada
to see you on that date, we'd like to know if that booking
still stands or if indeed the venue is closed. Any information
you can provide would be appreciated! :) Thank you
Deanna & Dave.
how can i get any info for those 2 dates??? i.e. location/address,
cover chaarge, etc... dying to take my new girlfriend to
see you guys...

tent in West Seneca. My gf is the 1 who wanted Brett Michaels
tickets. We will be back as often as possible.
Dave
July

Cris Hughes
Hi
Mark, We need your advice on what to do here. We need some
sort of soft music for cocktail and dinner hours which I
guess you would provide, or we would supply you with a CD,
plus the band for the other three hours. We do have the
option to extend the party to 11:00. Thanks,
Bob E
Hi
Mark!!! Chris' 40th birthday is next week and we are celebrating

one of our sponsors because we are taping only the best

Hey
Mark - just wanted to let you know I can't wait to see HNR
tonight, been counting down the hours! My brother likes
to write things in the snow/frost of my car windows in the
morning - in the past he's written things such as Mary Rules,
Vote for Mary & he's even drawn a goat on my windshield.
This morning, I came out & he had written "HNR"
across my driver & back door window! Awesome way to
start my day!
-Mary
Mark,
just a few questions on the wedding and the stage requirements.
It is probably nothing but I wanted to double check.
Jon
I
cant wait for the hit and run summer beer tent tour for
2011. It cant come fast enough. This cold is crazy. Is there
any way I can get a T-Shirt with the schedule earlier this
year?
Amanda
Hey,
Mark!! I'll be at Saturday's show, hopefully by 10pm. Do
you know if Club Paradise has their license yet? We're going

a Wed. or 2 (at The Dock at the Bay) that would be good.
Thanks

excited (about the country song hitting the charts) when
you use more than one exclamation point!
That is fabulous news!! I absolutely love that song by you
& Wendy. When it first was recorded I listened to it
over & over again! I think you should put it on a HNR
CD volume 2.
Christa

recovering from new years is not an actual place? Or am
I wrong!! LOL Thanks

Mark. Hope all is well in Buffalo! I have some great news.
(The song you recorded with me) Sometime Down The
Road has been rated by the Indie Charts and we are
ranked at #32 out of 50 on the Country Charts. What is also
amazing is there are signed artists along with unsigned
artists as myself. Go to the link and look who is on the
list along with our song!!!!!!
http://www.indiecharts.com/Indie_Music_Genre_Charts.php?Genre=Country
Hope to be home soon so that I can see you guys! Miss seeing
the band playing
. I think I need a Hit N Run fix
LOL
Wendy
Hey
Mark. Should I get back to you soon with a possible date
for (Sabres Pat) Kaleta's charity? Thanks and happy new
year.
Sean
Hi
there. Me and my girlfriend just got engaged and we have
started the planning process. We are both really big Hit
N Run fans and would love the possibility of the band playing
at our wedding. We havne't quite set a date yet, so we are
somewhat flexible. We were hoping for Fall of 2011, or Spring
of 2012. Could you please get back to me with some possible
dates and information. P.S. Tell Mark I said "Head
East!" (I know Mark through my friends Keith, Cheryl,
and Brian)
Craig B
Hi Mark. Please call about a club that I am booking and
wants Hit n Run to play there. We can pay well and it is
a bigger venue. I would be happy to meet you there and show
you the place. Just tell me when.
Sam
Mark,
I was looking at Hit N Run's schedule on the website. I
am having a fundraiser for Buffalo Envy Cheerleaders on
March 11th, 2011 @ Macaroon's. Phil told me that you would
be playing that night which is why I coordinated for that
date.
Jennifer G
I
cant believe that you have over 90 shows already booked.
You are a machine.
Pat T
Mark-
The contract/letter was sent out to you. Please let me know
if you need anything else
Alexandra (JDRF)
Mark,
I was wondering if the band was booked for Friday, August
19th? How much would it cost to have HNR play at a private
party? It would be the usual 2 lengthy sets. Once I find
out if HNR is even available that day, we will start looking
for a place to have this party. I just want to have a GREAT
time with friends. We know that the band gets booked up
quickly (especially for lawn fetes), that's why we are talking
about it now.
Jay P
My
name is Ken and I worked with Mark a few years back at PCB.
I am looking to see if the band would possibly be available
for my daughter's graduation party on Saturday July 9th,
2011. I am not even sure if you guys do events this small
but I thought I would ask anyway.
Ken G
We
had a great time on New Years. The hotel was nice and the
back room was packed. Too small for Hit n Run. But we got
rooms and had a great time.
Steve
Hi:
Hope the holiday is treating you well. I've had the pleasure
of hearing the band at the Queen of Heaven Carnival the
past few years. Naturally, my finance and I were interested
in learning more about the Hit n Run for our wedding reception
on December 10, 2011 in Amherst, NY. We had a few general
questions. Thanks for your time.
Vince
Yeah!
Hit and Run and a full schedule for 2011. We will be at
about 90 of them. Some things never change. ;-)
Barbara
Mark - we decided to go ahead and spend the evening there
on NYE. We went to the hotel and got a package with room
and all that. Hope you can play my song! Hope you guys had
a great time, and a fun evening. I know that we did, thanks
to Hit and Run.
Charles
Another
great New Years evening spent with our favorite band. Did
you see the hats we had on? We made them up specilly for
you and the night.
Kim
Can
you post the bands 2011 schedule if it's possible. Thanks.
Have a great show on New Years Eve!!!
Roger
The
more you see Joe Suplicki play, the more you apprectaite
how great a drummer he is. He is not flashy or a show off,
just a great drummer who seems very modest. Fast hands and
extremely tasty. You can also tell he is much more comfortable
and having fun.
Lee
Thanks
so much Mark! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you
and your family as well!! See you on January 14th (a certain
blonde is celebrating her birthday... wink, wink!)
Teacher
Hey Mark, We are celebrating 2 birthdays on NYE and I am
getting my requests in now since I know you will be busy
tomorrow night. Brown Eyed Girl for Gina, Friends in Low
Places for John
Jennifer K
Mark
can you send me Guys email address. I have a few pics of
him that I took and wanted to send.
Ann
I had such a wonderfully fun time a few weekends ago and
can't wait to comenout again! However, there are no dates
up on the schedule for the new year. My crystal ball isn't
working. A little assistance? LOL! Great times. Thanks :-)
Happy New Year.
Brenda
Put
us down for Friday June 3rd at Hollywood happening in Gowanda
from 8-12. Send the contract out.
Dana
Hi
Mark -Just following up about next year. I think OLBS will
be last week in July so if it's open, we'll take the weekend
before. If not, it'll be the first weekend in August. Let
me know when so we can confirm dates. Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!
Mark R (Resurrection)
Can
someone from Hit and Run call or email me about booking
some dates at a place that we are working with.
Jim
AND
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU, YOUR
FAMILY AND THE BAND, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT, IT
IS APPRECIATED :)
Diane
Hey
Mark, Hit and Run sounded great the other night. Still at
CP for New years?
Rocco
Hey
Mark! Happy holidays to you and your family as well!!! We'll
be at Dingens new years eve to ring in the new year with
ya. See you then.
Brandon
Hi
Mark! Merry Christmas!! I need a favor. Again. Could you
re-send me a copy of the email regarding New Year's Eve?
I accidentally deleted it and I need the information in
it. It would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!!
Lisa
Mark
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful
New Year.
Michael M
Hi
Mark. Just got done talking over New Year's plans here at
home, and it looks like we're leaning toward getting a room
there at the hotel and spending another NY Eve with you
guys. Do you know off-hand if there are rooms, and if so
are we supposed to say we're going there for the show, etc.?
Might have some other couples joining us.
Charles
Kelly,
it was great to see you win another award (Buffalo Music
Award) for top female vocalist. Well deserved. Is it tough
doing so many (what is it over 100) shows during the year?
Do you ever lose your voice? It always sounds great and
must be tough. I get colds all the time and sometimes cant
talk or are very horse, but you are up there singing every
weekend. That has got to be tough on a singer. I dont see
how you and Mark do it, but you do and we enjoy it every
week.
Scott
Mark,
can you call me. I handle two clubs that are looking for
dates. We can pay you well.
Sam
Wow,
one of the members was telling me that you have about 90
shows already booked for 2011. That is great. We always
have a blast with Hit and Run. Keep up the great work. It
makes our weekends so much fun.
Steve
Mark,
would love to fill-in for Hit n Run. It will happen.
Dave Dzialak
I
booked our Forks fundraiser specifically on the Hit n Run
show date on Sept 24th.
John Thrun
Hey
Mark, Congrats on your recent award. What does that make
like 27 times? ;-) It is great to see that you not only
have the talent, but can BRING IT it every weekend
night in front of 500 to a few thousand people. The first
time I saw you was at Queen of Heaven carnival this past
year and there had to be like 10,000 people there and me
and my friends have been following you ever since.
Amanda
Merry
Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family
too, Mark! Miss you & HNR....
-Mary
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year to your family and friends.
See you guys soon!
Peggy
If
I am having one of the worst days, all I have to do is watch
your bass player (Guy) on stage for 5 minutes and all my
cares seem to go away. At least temporarily ;-)
Toni
May
you and your family have a very Merry Christmas! See you
New Year's Eve!
Katie
Mark,
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Paul
Happy
holidays and best wishes for hit and Run in the New Year.
I heard you have about 90 dates already. We expect to see
you at about 89 of them. LOL ;-)
Michelle
Almost
forgot to wish our favorite rock star a Merry Christmas.
Toni
That's
what I figured but just wanted to check - with 5 weekends
in July, I wasn't sure. Put us down for the August date.
Thanks
Mark
Thanks,
Mark, very nice of you. We hope to repeat last year's New
Year's Eve and stop by to see the band for a few hours.
If we can't make it, my best to you and yours this holiday
season.
Charles
Mark,
Had to leave early Saturday night to play Broomball, Thanks
for playing "Whole Lotta Rosie" early, that song
gets me going, and we eventually won our BB game. See you
on New Year's Eve. Have a Merry Christmas, and tell the
band the same.
Jim C
Can
you pass this along to your drummer, Joe? It is great to
be able to see you having so much fun on stage and making
it so much fun for us.
Brian
What
is the best number to reach you to discuss doing a summer
party?
Deb
I
MISS YOU TOO !!!Greg and I are thinking about coming out
to see the band on new years eve..... what's the best way
for me to say this....after seeing a couple of "imitation
pasteurized processed cheese product " bands out there,
I need a taste of the real thing or im going to put a bullet
in my head !!! have a MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
Sue
Hey
Mark! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Hope to see
you at the New Years Eve gig that night if no one calls
me for a gig! Let me know about that one date or dates coming
up! Thanks for thinking of me! See you soon!
Marty Raymondo
Merry
Christmas 2 U, Ur Family, and Hit N Run!!! Be safe!!! C
U and the band New Years Eve night :)
Sally
merry
christmas to you and your family!
Dave Buffamonte (Backstage productions)
Hi
Mark, I still would like to book something for a Saturday
in November 2011. I just forget to call you on the weekend
and am reminded again when I looked at my email Monday morning.
I apologize. I will try you this Saturday around 11 AM.
Thanks,
Denise Marshall
Mark,
I sent a email to your website 2 days ago. I misplaced your
phone number. I would be interested in having Hit N Run
play for the Happening on Friday night 8pm to 12mn . email
me or call
Dana A
Hey
Mark, Great to see you at the awards, as I mentioned I'm
always looking to bring in Classic Rock National shows to
our area, the best way to assure success for both the venue
and the band is to bring in the regions top Live Act with
the best draw and that's Hit'n'Run in my book. I'm still
shopping the show to a few venues so don't want to discuss
details, I'm hoping that your available on Friday May 13th
2011 to open this particular show. Let me know what kind
of compensation you will require for a 1 hour opening set.
Please give me a call at your early convienence. Happy Holidays,
Ross Cat
Hi, I was interested in having Hit N Run play at my wedding.
I'm getting married on May 19th, 2012. Its a Saturday night
and on Delware ave. Would you be available and what would
the cost/deposit be? Please get back to me whenever you
can! Thanks!
Stephanie M
I too look forward to working together I would like to announce
that you will be performing (at the Wings Flight) if that
is okay on tickets, facebook, etc. and all advertising.
If this okay with you
Diane DeMarco
Good
morning Mark, Thank you so much for the pictures! This morning
when I came into work, the first thing everyone said was
what a great time they had and how much they loved the band!!!
You were all absolutely wonderful and very entertaining!
We all had a great time! Hopefully we'll be able to have
you perform again for another party! Thank you again and
I hope you have a wonderful holiday! All the best,
Jennifer Ruffino
Mark,
Can you stop in on Monday to discuss dates for our establishment?
Bruce
Hi Mark, Its Pat Kaletaa friend Sean. Are you
available for Sunday December 26th at Bayou? Its Boxing
Day and I would like to provide music for any Canadians
in town. Monday happy hour might also be a possibility.
Hope all is well!Thanks,
Sean C
Mark, Couple items: 1] let me know your thoughts on doing
the full night at Rhino's on the Jan date. 2] I heard through
the grape vine you might be having a problem w/ your NY's
eve gig. If so call me we could probably make a change.
3} Met w/ Richie out at Rats yesterday- he wants his schedule,
please give me a couple dates that would work there.
email or call me. Thanx! Regards,
Tom McGill
Cant wait to see you at our show at the Wanakah Country

Mark
Hi
Mark, Thanks so much for putting on such a great show! I
felt badly, I had a back injury last week so I was very
concerned about dancing, but you guys were so good I couldn't
help it towards the end! Hopefully we will hear back from
the legal department for the church soon so we can get your
contract and deposit sent! Have a great week, will be in
touch.
Michelle Burns
I want to get four hit and run shirts to give away for Christmas.
Let me know how to get them.
Don
Mark, The gig is on and confirmed for the Marilla carnival.
Becky
Could
you please let me know where hit n run will be playing on
new years eve since club paradise is closed?
Allison Connors
Mark,
Thanks for the heads up about Dingens. I have reservations
for my group and rooms. About The summer club shows: I know
you will do what you can for this Summer. If I could get
2 weekend dates and maybe a off night it would be good.
Mike
My fiancee, Charles has been trying to reach you regarding
the band on July 21st. You told us to call you on Thursday.
Are you able to perform? Can you call him. We need to get
it in our club newsletter. Please contact him asap. Thanks
Diva
Thanks
Mark; Ill sign and have accounting cut you a check
for the deposit
Mark (Wanakah Country Club)
Could

new years eve since club paradise is closed?
Allison Connors
It
was a great time on Friday.
Melissa
the
longer night would only be on friday shows- saturdays are
10pm starts. I do need an answer on Jan pretty quick as
I don't want to have to blow out the early band I have booked
already with out proper notice. As for Rats I have another
week maybe 2 before I have to lock everything else in.
Tom
Soooo
good to see you too!!! i've been falling down on my dancing
duties... :) as always thank you for the Styx!!!! We had
a really fun time
Robbie
I
will always have your back and that of the people in your
band.
Big Jack
Hello, I'm looking to book a band for a wedding, Fri. Aug.
12, 2011. If you are open what would the cost be for 3 hrs.
and for 4 hrs. There will be at least 240 people at the
wedding. Thanks,
Dale W
How
about Dec 26th for the radio appearance?
Rich R (Heard it on the X)
HNR

the Nightlife Awards). BEST vocals of the night! Congrats
to you & Pat. I didn't know Pat won, I just found that
out now
Christa
Mark, Balance of deposit was mailed to you today. Have a
great show.
Tom B (ESI)
I
was hoping you could forward this email to Hit n Run. Some
of the girls in the office highlighted and starred some
of their favorite songs and were hoping we could hear some
of them tomorrow night at the Christmas party. It's ok if
they already have their playlist ready, but I thought I'd
see. Thank you so much and have a great holiday!!!
Jenn B
Congrats
to you and Pat. You've all played your asses off again this
year and deserve all the recognition you get. Maybe now
they can fade away and do their own thing and stop playing
childish games. I have one request for tonights show. Kick
ass and blow the roof off the building. Crazy bitch Bad
girlfriend and Rebel Yell :-)
Roger
This
is the girl that wanted you to do the 80's party originally
on January 8th. It has been moved to Friday January 21st.
You said you should be open and to call you on Thursday.
Charles called you, to make sure you are still available.
Thanks so much, sorry about the confusion
Rachel
How
are things going with you?

Bruce
Hi
Mark, please make sure that we are set for Fri, Feb 4th.
Michelle
Mark,
Thank you so much for Saturday night! Everyone raved about
you guys as I knew they would. Great time and that TSO song-you
hit it right on! Amazing. We are looking for you to check
a date for next year and that would be December 3rd. Same
time, same place. Please let me know as soon as you can
so that I can report to the committee. If you don't mind
I was asked by the Protocol for your number, they really
enjoyed it too.
Kim
Mark,
I met w/ Matt and he (Rhinos) wants me to confirm
these dates with you, Jan 28, Feb 19, Mar 18, Apr 15 &
May 7. Please let me know if they are solid.
Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)
Awesome...
Thanks Mark... Please put us (Tops) on your calendar for
next year, Dec 2011!!!
Ron F (Tops)
Always
a pleasure to work with your band. U guys blew the rest
away sounded amazing, only wish we could have had a good
sound check
David Terry
Congratulations
to you and Pat for winning in the (Nightlife) this week.
Well deserved and the band sounded great and stood out.
Guy cracked me up on stage. Keep up the great work.
Len
That
is great. I got a 2 room suite today for New Years. For
anyone who is looking for rooms, the name of the hotel is
the Galleria Inn and Suites (it was formerly a Holiday Inn).
I had a real hard time finding on the internet. Cant book
on line. Phone number is 896-2900. Address is 601 Dingens.
Liz
So,
how many did you guys win last night?
Ken K (Wide Right)
Congratulations!
Kelly kicked butt. So glad you did Lady gaga.
Dee Hamilton
Hi
Mark, it's me jen again! Please let me know at your earliest
convenience, if you can do the show. thank you!
Jen
Congrats
on doing so well for so long. Being a musician, playing
out, I dont get to see you. The current line-up sounds
hot. You always seem to get great musicians in Hit and Run.
Frank
You
heard anything else about New Years so I know what I'm doing?
I need to know about rooms again and want to get everything
finalized.
Steve L
Can
Hit n Run do the late show for the Hockey Juniors at HSBC?
If not we have an alternative date.
Jennifer
hey
mark - hope you're well. have you heard anything about the
band sched for thursday night at the awards thing? do you
know if there's a shared drumkit or backline? haven't heard
anything yet and trying to get organzied. thanks
Jeremy hoyle (Strictly Hip)
I
agree that your doing the right thing as far as not posting
negative comments on your web site. As I told you Friday
your doing nothing probably bothers them more than anything.
Like I said to you last week you are like family to us.
We do care about you and your family and we will stand up
for you if ever anyone gets in our business as to who we
are or aren't friends with. We will be at Macs this Friday
and we can't wait to have another awesome time with you
Kelly Danny Guy Pat and Joe. :-)
Roger
I
am one of the chairs for next year's dinner auction, and
Cindy R referred me to you. The contract for the band is
attached. Kindly review at your earliest convenience and
let me know if there is anything else you need from the
band. Please call me if you have any questions, or email
me.Thanks so much,
Michelle Burns
Mark,
I hope the rest of the night went great.... Everyone had
a great time. Thanks for letting me be"the 7th person
in the band" as some people have described it... THANKS
AGAIN!!! Many of the new people from out of the area said
"WOW.. what a great band"
Ron F (VP of Operations)
I
wanted to compliment your drummer, Joe. I am taking lessons
on the drums and dont play in a band, but I really
think what he does on his High-Hats is tremendous and fun
to watch. He has such quick hands and is extremely tasty.
Too many people get caught up in just rock beats and lose
that jazz touch... that is much more difficult.
Rob
Hi
Mark, Rich from heard it on the X (Radio program). I was
wondering if you could come in on the 19th. I left you a
VM. If not, then how about Dec 26th.
Rich R (MusicXchange)
R
u playing at Club Paradise on NYE?
Rico
Good
luck to my favorite male singer
Kathy K
Good
luck to you and the whole band this Thursday.
Roger
Hey

Wish
you luck???!!! You don't need it! ;)
Katie
Congrats
Kelly on your Top Female Vocalist award in the Buffalo Music
Awards. It was well deserved and I expect many more to come.
Pat
I'm
fine. Just got really crazy here at work yesterday. The
music award show at paradise island is there a cover and
can friends of the band come.
Roger
Hi,
Mark, We had our committee meeting tonight. We have chosen
a different date for our 80's party. Are you available on
Friday January 21 from 8-7:30-11:30 or 8:00 - 12:00? The
place is at the Country Club. Send me a new contract and
we will send you a deposit if necessary. Thanks
Rachel G
Thanks
Mark. We will cut the deposit check this week. Two slight
changes to the contract: 1. show schedule is 7-11pm 2. the

John B
Thanks so much Mark, I have forwarded this contract to the
business office for review. One note, I did not get the
time correct, just a slight change arriving at 7:40 and
playing until about 11:40/midnight. I hope this is ok. See
you next weekend at Brookfield!
Michelle Burns
Hi Mark, I emailed you a while ago about a palying at my
wedding this summer. We have decided to hold the reception
on August 13th in Great Vallye NY (near Ellicottville).
I was wondering if you are available that date and also
how much you would charge for 4 or 5 hours. It will not
be a formal reception more like a big party. Pleast get
back to me when you get a chance. Thanks,
Amber
Mark,
We previously talked about hit and run performing at our
wedding reception and are still very interested in having
you guys perform at our wedding. It's Jon from bowling on
tuesday nites at lancaster lanes. The date is november 25th
at Pearl street bar and brewery at 6 pm. Thanks for your
anticipated cooperation in this matter. If you need any
further info please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello,
I am looking to speak to someone about having Hit and Run
perform at our Labatt Blue Hockey lodge during our World
Junior Tournament. We have a few dates remaining. Please
give me a call if you are interested. Thank you for your
time.
Jenifer D
Thank
you for everything last night. Having all of you on stage
at one time for the HOA induction ceremony was great and
everyone did a fantastic job with the "Pass the Touch"
awards presentations. Congratulations again on your selection
to the Buffalo Music Awards Hall of Achievement
Rick & Marsha Falkowski
It
was good to see you too, Mark. Ellicottville Fall Festival
Weekend is what I was thinking. Give me a call at your convenience
so we can try to work out something mutually advantageous
Dave Elder
Are
you available on July 30th? We just had to change our date
(and want HNR to perform.)
Cheryl
Looking
for any extra dates for Rhino's (right now) and also for
Mickey Rats (during the summer of 2011.)
Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)
Hi,
I'm planning a wedding for August, 2011 and would love to
book your band. Your song list matches exactly what my fiance
and I are looking for. I know it's wishful thinking, but
would you happen to have an opening in your schedule on
the above date? Thanks for your time,
Amy
Mark,
Can you call me during the weekend (about our show date
and schedule)?
Kim
Hello-
I absolutely love your band, and attend many Buffalo events
throughout the summer where you are playing. I know this
is a longshot, but am in the process of planning my wedding,
and was wondering if you do private events, and if so, what
that might cost! I'm sure it is way out of my budget, but
someone had advised my fiancee and I that Music and Food
are the most important things, and I immediately thought
that you are my favorite local band. Thank you so much for
your time. A huge local fan!
Corinna D
Hi
Mark, Congratulations on your win last night, you deserve
it I can really tell you enjoy doing what you do. I was
at Macaroons last Saturday and brought a friend who had
never heard the band perform and she was as equally impressed.
One of these days I will stop and introduce myself we were
communicating over the summer. Keep up the good work you
and the band have a way of making people enjoy music even
more.
Liz L
Mark,
I want to cover you and the gang that is if it is ok with
you. Also I want to thank you for letting me in on the Ride.
I owe much of my recognition as a photographer to you and
HitnRun. Thank you for using my Photos on your web page
& CD. You made an old guy Believe in Dreams Can Come
true. To be Published, Not just anywhere but on YOUR CD!
For this Photographer It amazes me.

Bernie Nash (St John Vianney)
Mark,
I'm hoping I'll see you tonight (BMAwards) and we'll be
able to spend a minute together. I'm wondering if you'd
be available to perform on Oct. 8th. Please let me know
if that would be a possibility. Thanks,
Dave Elder
Good
Morning and Happy Monday. I saw my friend over the weekend
and she told me that she has spoken to you about playing
at her benefit in March. I know how busy the band is and
I appreciate your offering to help her out. I hope all is
well with you and your family and I wish you all a very
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi
Mark, Just want to see what you have available for Rhino's.
Can look at Fridays or Saturdays. Also, I am starting to
put in some dates for Mickey Rats-would be nice if I could
get him more than one show this summer Regards,
Tom McGill
Hey
Mark, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for
an awesome evening of music. You and the band rocked it
out on Friday at the Aud and I for one truly appreciated
all your efforts. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to introduce
myself and my wife Jennifer to you. She was a bit embarrassed
to meet you, Star-struck and what-not. LOL! I DID get a
chance to talk with Joe Suplicki. He and I worked together
many years ago. It was cool to meet up with him. Again,
thanks for a great night of music. You all are definitely
talented. You look as though you really enjoy sharing your
gifts of music with the masses. For that I am grateful.
ROCK ON!!
Dave Gill

soon as you can... Thanks
Jackie

ago you performed on stage at Infant of Prague in our Henesey
Hall for our Winter Bash dance-remember? If you are available

Hello
Mark, if we go to a one day event, what would you have available
now? tx
Wgb (Brighton Field days)
Hey
Mark, Hope all is will with you looks like bands crazy busy.
I've had the privelage of booking shows @ the Rapids Theatre
recently, I think they've either made contact with you or
tried to in regards to playing there. It's an absolutely
gorgeous room; the crown jewel of venues in Western New
York. All the national acts we've had play there have been
blown away by the venue & the VIP treatment they receive.
We feel it's a natural fit to have the area's best band
play the area's best room. I know they are hoping Hit 'n'
Run will be avaiable early next month as they are set to
celebrate there first anniversary, if not I know they would
like to book a future date. Back II Back is also looking
at some Rock Bands for the New Year to bring to the Rapids
so naturally we will be in touch in regards to Hit 'n' Run
being an opener on the bill. Looking foward to working together
again soon!!!
Ross CATalino
Happy
Birthday, Mark

Mark,
Hey there! I was wondering if you could do me a favor and
tell me is your drummer, Joe Suplicki the same Joe I worked
with at Day One about 8 years ago? See ya Friday! Happy
Birthday!! Thanx,

Maybe
Mark can meet a night out before he rocks, so we can get
together for dinner and catch up.
Michelle
Happy
Birthday to u, like a fine wine that keeps getting better
with age
Melissa
I
work with Jillian Bennedict who knows one of your vocalists.
She was raving about you guys, so I thought I'd contact
you. We are getting married next summer. First I was wondering
if you have that date available, and if so could you send
me some information about your band? Our reception is in
downtown Buffalo, and our guest list is somewhere around
450. We have a huge dancing crowd, so we really need a band
that can keep everyone going all night.
Chrissy S
Hi
Mark, I am the Coordinator for the Wendel Holiday party
at the Ramada on 12/3/10. Carla Hart gave me your email

stage requirements and set up times. Could you please give
me a call when you have a chance?
Alison
Hi
Mark, Thanks for getting back to me. The committee said
that they would be interested in the band performing on

If you could please check on that date. also, Besides New
Years Eve and Feb 5th for the hamburg BPA Fundraiser. If

year at Club Paradise. Please let me know.
Mike

Jim
It
sure was crowded Sat night at Macaroons, did not think that
blond haired guy was ever going to get off the stage. Stayed
till about 2:40 and left. I was beat.
Keith
Dear
Hit and Run, we wish to see if you would like to perform

Seneca Niagara casino. There will be several hundred people

sure that Hit n Runs name was on the invitations and printing
material.
Jane
Great
show Sat night , you are the master.
Ken K
Mark,
Thanks for the mention on the web page and the email. I
do not want to over crowd it, so I have to declare the dance
totally sold out. If you can mention that in your next email
and the web page, I would certainly appreciate it. Please
let me know if you guys need anything special and what time
you want to get in to start setting up. I have been telling
people that the band will start by 7:30, so I hope that
works for you. Take care and thanks again.
Brian Gould
Hi
Mark, Just checking back again about your bands availability
next year, October 1, 2011 for St. Greg's dinner auction.
I left another message and sent another email. The auction
is held on Maple Road in Williamsville, at the ministry
center. We will likely have you play from 8:30pm-12:30am,
or some variation of that. Please let me know if you are
available, and how we can proceed.
Michelle Burns
I
will firm up my date of March 5th and call you, I have paid
much less the past two years for a band from Pittsburg,
but your band has a following and name recognition. So if
you can do it for the rate you quoted me, I can justify
to my committee the extra money. Can you advertise our event
on your website? Thanks look forward to meeting you
John Bruso
Hi
Mark, We would love to have Hit N Run this year, but we
can't make plans until January. The event is always the
third Sat. in July. If I'm in charge this year, you are
in if you're available, but again, I won't know until Jan.
Thanks,
Sid
Blow
the roof off the place tonight. We will see you up there.

Is this possible? Thanks.
Jim
Hi,
Thinking of doing a fundraiser, and wondering what your
fee is? Thanks,
Patty Ryan
Mark,
Thank you for the information. I did contact Phil and he
said he is awaiting on dates from you. I am looking for
a Saturday date in March of 2011. Do you happen to have
a idea when you will roughly know the dates you will be
playing for the new year @ Macaroon's? I don't mean to be
pushy but when you run a fundraiser the more time you have
to work with the better
the fundraiser. Thanks so much!
Jennifer
We
would like to have Hit n Run play on April 2nd.
JB
Hey
Hit N Run. I saw you at Paradise August 2010 and fell in
love you guys are a great band. I would love to book you
for a private wedding reception at Beaver island casino
August or Sept of 2011. I realize you guys are in huge demand
that time of year but I hate wedding dj's and really would
love to have you guys. We would like 2 one and a half hour
sets. Is it possible to get on your schedule. Please see
if you can. Thanks hope to hear from you soon.
Andrea

Brian G (Bellevue Firehall)
Mark,
I hope you enjoyed your well deserved time off. Anywho,
I wanted to let you know I'm hoping to bring the wife out
to the Aud Sports bar for your show on Nov 5th. Her birthday
is the 4th of November so this should be a nice treat for
her. (and me too) I'll make sure to introduce us when we
see you there. Have a great show tonight. I'm sorry I won't
be able to make it. YOU ALL ROCK! Take care,
Dave
Mark,

store by the cider mill yesterday and they have every kind
of Drake's dessert that you like! As soon as I saw them,
I said, "Holy crap! I'm going to have to e-mail Valentino
tomorrow from work and tell them that his Drake's cakes
are here!" HAHAHA.
Renee
Check
out this video on YouTube: I sent you this wondering what
you thought about either you and Kelly or Kelly and Guy
singing this song. I think it would fit in with your other
set of songs nicely. But then again it's easy for me to
say. Just an idea. Can't wait to see you guys on Friday.
Have a good week.
Roger
Mark,
please let your friends know that tables are going fast

RICO (Winchester Fire Hall)
"Props
to Buffalo Music Hall of Fame band Hit N Run for their high
energy opening set. Not often do you hear a crowd chanting
the name of the opening act let alone paying attention to
them while they play. Highlight of their set was, hands
down, their version of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance"
that had the crowd going wild. Really. They proved to be
the perfect opening act for Michaels."
Bob Silvestri
Mark,
Any word on the Saturday, February 12th 2011 date for Winterfest????

Hi
Mark, My sister Lisa Satkowski is in hospice due to her
battle with breast and lung cancer they say she only has
weeks to live she is 38 yrs old and has three kids and every
chance she had to go out it was to see you and your band
i noticed you are playing next door to hospice this month
and if she is still here she would really love love love
to see you. You and Michael Jackson are her all time favorites
it would really mean alot to her and the family if you could
make an appearence at the hospice and help her feel a little
better even for a minute thanks you her sister

Jon Mazurczak
To
Whom it My Concern: I am a manager at BW's Barbecue in Blasdell.
We are looking to kick off an annual charitable festival

fees are. Thank you for your time.

the place.
Roger
Mark,
Tickets for our dance at Bellevue (on Fri Oct 29th) are
available to the public. If you could mention it in your
next email, that would be great. Tickets and information
are available on our website at www.bellevuefire.org or
by calling me at 846-5380.
Brian (Belleview Firehall)
Congratulations
on going into the Buffalo Music hall of Achievements. With
winning something like 15 years of best rock male vocalist,
it is long overdue in my opinion. It also gives others an
opportunity to experience it now.
Frank
Hi
Mark, Just checking that you received my previous e-mail
that I would be interested in working on a weekend with
you next year.
Jackie
Mark,
John will be the sound tech for Halloween. We will stop
in at Macaroons after the Jason Michael Carroll concert
tonight to drop off the contracts.
Mike
Good
morning Mark J. Thank YOU so much for such a fun night,
best fun Ive had for some time and ALL the locals
love you U. YOU and your band are amazing!!! Thanks also
for the Tee and the autograph. My 11 year-old daughter was
quite impressed! LOL! Please save a Thursday date for us
for next year in mid or late September. I will let you know
once the week of the event has been decided on by the Board.
If you need a deposit, please let me know. Thanks again
and I look forward to next year
Barbara (Boilermakers Nation Convention)
Hey,Mark!
Terry here from 7th Heaven. We've been wanting to come out
and see you guys play for awhile,and I'm just now looking
at any upcoming holes we have in our schedule. It looks
like we might be able to get out to your October show at
the Aud Sports Bar (or maybe a Macaroon's gig). We haven't
seen you guys with either Guy or Joe yet,so we're looking
forward to it! I've known Guy for quite awhile from his
Trolls dayswe go back quite aways. We even did a couple
'back to back' shows when I was in Talon. Very cool that
he's playing for your band these days. Looking forward to
getting out sometime within the next few weeks...Rock on,
Terry / 7th Heaven
I'm
interested in booking Hit N Run for my wedding. I'm getting
married next fall, most likely on 9/10/11. If not then definitely
in October of 2011. What do you charge? Please let me know
at your earliest convenience. Would love if you guys could
play at my wedding!!! Thank you,
Stephanie M
Hi,
I'd like to book the band for a gig at the Tavern. Please
call us. Thank You
John
That
was really so nice of you to do that! I actually had her
at the Casino and she won a lot of money. The girls
are supposed to go on a cruise in November so I am praying
we can go. She still wants to send you a thank you note
when shes able. Ill bring her to see you guys
as soon as I can. Thanks for thinking of her. It really
means a lot to us. Enjoy the birthday party they
grow up too fast!
PB
Everyone
I met in Buffalo was very nice. I still cant get over
how good YOU and your band are. I am soooo lucky to have
found you guys; preparing everything long distance this
year was a challenge! LOL!

would like to book you.
Mike Retzlaff (Alden Carnival and fire co)
Hi-
I know that you guys are usually booked way in advance.
I am emailing on behalf of a friend who will be opening
a bar in the West Seneca area hopefully by the end of the
year. He was intereted in booking your band at some point
in the future. What is the fee for 4 hours? It would be
Friday or Saturdays 10-2. You will need to provide your
own sound. He is still in
the prelim stages but wanted to get an idea of costs involved.
Tim
I
am truly floored at the amount of talent on your stage and
in your crew. You all are amazing and put on an awesome
show. Your sound is right on. I look forward to seeing you
perform again. You're newest fan,
Dave Gill
They'll
need a price and commitment asap (for the Marilla carnival).
This is a rain or shine event. It is held on Two Rod Rd,
Marilla at the firemens grounds behind the fire
hall.
Becky (Marilla carnival and car show)
Thanks
Mark, it was great having you sing to us. You played his
favorite song by his favorite band after that too how great
was that. Home Sweet Home by the crue. Love you guys looking
forward to coming to more shows in the future, maybe on
Halloween? Thanks again
Charlene

Have a good week.
Roger
Mark,

to have you at our Gala. Do you know when you might hear
from the other party? If you could get back to me and let
me know at your earliest convenience I would really appreciate
it. If you need to contact me please feel free to do so
at 716 239 1501. I look forward to hearing from you.
Jane R. Pelosi
Hi
Mark, my girlfriend Jen wants me to ask you if the boilermakers
party is private ? I was questioning for me if it is at
the boilermakers hall on orchard park road or where? I am
the guy who talked to you at Winchester when you were walking
through the beer tent and said to you I am the asshxxe from
the phone call about the Brett tickets. I am the bald headed
guy. Jen is the girl who at macaroons was dancing in front
with the 2 wives or girlfriends of the band.
Joshua
I
dont think the people realize how big this can be.
Come on its Hit n Run. And I am not just trying to
be kind. Its the truth. I dont know the new
people well, but you guys are awesome together! Kelly is
a great person. And I dont know where to begin about
you :)
Kathy Kline
We
know that you help sell rooms. We tell them that all the
time about the club and bands helping to sell rooms. We
do really appreciate it.
Sue
Very
cool (show with Hit N Run and Brett Michaels of Poison)
Sharon
You
need to make a 2nd CD, I love love love love singing with
you. I can have a bad day, put in my HNR cd and magic happens.
DarylAnn (DA)
It
was cute and funny.
Jen P
Thank
you for the pics, Mark. That looked like a few wild nights!
LOL! Take care. Hope to see you guys at the Aud sports bar
on Friday. Rock on!
Dave
I
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lady Gaga (Kelly)!!!!
Brenda
Good
for you honey - You sooo deserve all this good fortune.
I went to call you the other day for soome advice but couldnt
find your cell what is it again?
Jennifer S
Wow,
its hard to tell you guys apart in that picture. You
got to change up your image, go more rock n roll LOL. Well
be at Saturdays St JV. OK, the Steely Dan tunes were
a bad suggestion. I was down-loading some Bon Jovi songs
and got crossed up between born to be my baby
that you do now and discovered 2009s we werent
born to follow. Good song and you like that Bon Jovi
too!
Mark T
Wow.
Very Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Ren
We
are looking for entertainment for our corporate Christmas
party on January 15th in the evening. We have not picked
the venue yet. We would like to know if you are available
and how much it would cost. Thank you for your time.
Lisa L
Hi
Mark, Thank you for getting back to me. We are definitely
interested in booking your band for our wedding on May 27th,
2011. Any way you have that day available? If so what is
the next step in the booking process? Thanks!
Jill
My
name is Amber and I live in WNY. I am getting married in
Hawii next summer and plan on having a huge party when we
get back on a private piece of land in Java NY after. We
are looking for a good band to play at the party. We dont
have a date set and can be flexible. Im not sure if you
guys do things like this but it would be awesome if you
did. If you could shoot me an email and let me know that
would be great
Amber
Had
a great time tonight. Thanks for getting the tix for us.
BTW
I think HNR sounded better than BM! Just sayin
.
Geri
Hit
and Run, Hit and Run, Hit and Run
.How many times does
a national act like Poison have a local cover band open
and the crowd is chanting the opening bands name like that.
Simply amazed by it.
Don
You
had everyone from the stage to the back wall
all singing
hooting
and hollering
It was awesome. Great exposure for Hit
n Run.
BJ
I
spoke to one of the people who book Winchester, they want
to know if you are interested in doing both nights next
year.
Michelle
To
each and every one of the band and crew, I want to first
off say what an awesome experience my family and I had watching
you perform under the beer tent at the Clarence Center Labor
Day weekend celebration. That night was our first ever experience
watching you perform. You may recall an obnoxiously loud
"WOOO!!!!" and "YEA!!!!" coming from
the right side of the tent just ahead of the bar (from your
perspective on stage). That would have been me. You all
are awesome. That was a wicked set you played and you nailed
each and every song like true professionals. Thank you for
a great night of amazing music. It was truly a pleasure
to listen to you play. I even bought a t-shirt to commemorate
the occasion. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors
because honestly, you should have bands opening for you.
(in my humble opinion).
Dave Gill
Mark,
I am trying to plan a fundraiser for my daughters cheerleading
teams for the month of February or March of 2011. I would
like to have it at either Macaroon's or at the Aud when
you happen to be playing out since alot of our parents are
fans of Hit N Run. Do you have any dates scheduled for either
place? Thanks!
Jennifer G
Hi,
I am getting married next year on July 22nd and was wondering
if the band would be available that night for 4 hrs and
what you charge? I have seen you out and love your music.
I appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.
Christina S
Hey,
I saw you guys at a rock and roll wedding on Friday, September
10th, 2010. You guys sounded, as always, fantastic. I have
a question and hopefully this isn't too out of line, but
where did your drummer learn to play? He has a great style
and apparently had professional instruction. I have been
playing drums for 30 years, and was impressed with his ability.
I would love to learn some of his techniques.
Alan
Hello,
I was wondering if you are available for a wedding on July
29, 2011. Thanks
Janet
Hi
Mark, Could you Email me all the pictures that were taken
on 9/18/2010 at the Aud. What a crowd! Great party, Thanks,
Mike
I
host an annual party, and I would like to get a price on
your band! Thank You
Melissa
Dear
Sir, I am writing to you to ask for your help. Members of
the class of 87 of Dunkirk High School are puttin on a benefit
for a classmate of ours who was diagnosed with inoperable
brain cancer We will be holding a spaghetti dinner during
the day and a party later that night at the Dunkirk Moose
Lodge on Novermber 27,2010. We are respectfully requesting
that you consider helping us ensure the success of this
event by playing from 8-12. We appreciate your time and
consideration of this matter.
Lorie Michalak
What
would you guys charge for a wedding? Do you have Saturday
August 13, 2011 open or booked?
Donald L
Hi
Members of Hit N Run, first of all let me tell you I love
your band and have been following you for over 10 years,
not literally, but I am a big fan. I am getting married
on 9-25-10 and I am having my reception at McKinleys
Inn, I wish I could have had you for my music but unfortunately
my budget wouldnt allow it, but booked it because
I learned you will be playing in the nightclub afterwards.
I cant tell you how pleased and excited to know you
will be there that night. I have booked my whole wedding
party at the hotel and we all plan on going to your show
afterwards. The reason I am telling you this is because
I was hoping you would be able to save a song for Jay and
I, in your second set, it is his favorite song by journey
and he wanted it to be our first song but we ended up picking
something else. It would mean the world to me if you could
dedicate it to Jay. I know it is kind of late to ask and
you may have others asking, but if you could dedicate Faithfully,
I think it would make our night! Jay also loves the meatloaf
song, I remember the first year we were dating he use to
sing it to me. But , Faithfully we actually
slow danced out in the street to it on one of our first
dates, it means a lot to both of us. Your Fan,
Charlene
Hey
guys now that the summer is over and you can take a breath,
just wanted to say hi and thanks from Queen of Heaven for

Terry and Judy Goracke (Queen of Heaven)
I
am interested in Hit N Run for the Juvenile Diabetes Gala
that we are having, in 2011. Please call me at your earliest
convenience.
Jane P
Hi
my name is Jay I totally loved your Winchester Fire Hall
Show!!! I was wondering if you guys could please!!! send
me the name and phone number for the Company who did your
sound on that show?? Thanks for your time!!! Keep up the
good work!!
Jay Gerald Dudas
I
heard some stuff about the problems you had getting ready
but would have never known it, you guys sounded fabulous!
We understand you are busy and there's tons of people trying
to get your attention for a million different things - not
sure when we'll get out to see you guys again, we've got
a busy October coming up but we'll get there, I go through
HNR withdrawal if it goes too long w/o rocking with you!
See you soon, Glad to Be your Friend,
Mary
Hey
Mark, It was a rockin good time at macaroons on Friday night
Sept. 24th. I love you guys. Cant wait to see you again.
Jennifer & Joshua
I
talked to Gail today and figured I would hit you up with
an email. The show for Lindsay would be at the Tralf on
Tuesday November 2nd probably at seven. There would be two
opening acts with you guys as the headliners. My team would
be responsible for all marketing and advertising. If you
could call me we can discuss more details.
Glenn
I
see youre at McKinley Saturday
I just may pop
in. Ill try to fight my way to the front of the stage
where all your groupies hang
Cristine
Hey
Mark, We had a great time last night. Hot as hell, but we
survived. I am glad they had a room to start out in before
the show. You guys sounded really good, and so did Brett
Michales.
Rick Wells
Thank
you for your response. This is definitely outside my budget!
I am so happy for your success. I will have my party at
Macaroon's or somewhere that you are playing next year!
Mary W
Hello,
saw you guys perform recently and was very impressed. I
would assume you have solid band membership but just inquiring
about being a fill in guy if needed. I am an experienced
drummer. I just turned 40 but have been playing for more
than 30 years and used to play in a band but still have
the itch to play in front of people once in a while. Never
hurts to ask but if your drummer needed a night off I would
be interested in filling in. Thanks and keep up the good
work. Regards,
Jeff
Please
add my new email address to the mailing list
Brenda
I
was hoping that I would be able to buy 2 Brett Michaels
tickets ? Let me know if you have 2 available. Also will
the band be playing any time at the new Hamburg Fairgrounds
Casino ?
Laurie P
Had so much fun! U guys were really good. I soo miss coming
out to see HNR
Kathy
Overall
it was a great night. Good time was had by all.
Ken
Good
Morning Mark! Just wanted to say thanks for a great night
& opening for Bret Michaels! It was an awesome show!
And of course, HNR made a rough week better. My brother
(goatboy) was in a car accident this week - he's okay, just
sore and the back end of his car is damaged pretty good.
I think it shook me up more than him, de ja vu of my accident,
same circumstances and I don't want him hurting every day
like I do.
Mary
Anyways,
thanks again, have a great weekend & see you soon! You
guys are the BEST!
Marilyn
Great
show!
Jennifer
I
wish Hit n Run could have played longer or went on again
after Brett.
Steve
Thanks
for putting up with us last night. I thought Brett was great.
Mike Murnoff (Manager of CP)
YOU
cared more for the audience, I thought.
Tom
I
am not in your band but I definitely do feel like part of
the band. I was happy you guys did so great.
Big Jack
Good
times. He was great
of course Hit and Run Rocked!
Charlene
Did

Rick L
OMG

Breanna
In
my book you are still my favorite star.
Monica
U
rocked the house at the Brett show!
Scott
You
were awesome.
Cathy
I
dont want to give you a big head, but
Hit and
Run does poison better than Brett.
I
thought Brett was great but honestly we wished you played
longer.
Toni
Did
you get any pics with Brett?
Christa
Great
show all around. You are the king
Rick
Brett
is an awesome entertainer, but band was not better than
Hit n Run.
KK
Sounds
like you are quite the busy there Mark! Remember. if ya
ever need a fill-in, give me a jingle. Hope to see you soon.
Cristine
Wish
I was there. I am sure you are giving Brett a run 4 his
money
Erin
Hey
Mark, Did you say you got a good shot of the softball team
at Macaroons last week? The show was fun last night, hot,
but fun.Thanks.
Rick Wells
I
am not going to see Brett Michaels with Hit n Run. I am
going to see Hit n Run with Brett Michaels. ;-0
Mary

Roger
Hey

Brandon

Ken

be pretty cool.
RM

text me...have a great show. i'll see you soon
Charlene Palladino
Mark,
Just wanted to say thanks for wishing Toni a happy birthday
and playing her songs for her and mine, too. Also, wanted
to tell you that playing Nickelback's "Rockstar"
with Poison's "Every Rose Has It's Thorns" was
awesome. You should do that one more often. I love Nickelback
(I'm going to the concert tonight) and that Poison song
is one of my favorites. On Thursday, are you going to be
playing all Poison songs or mixing it up like normal? I
have a request- Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorns."
Again, thanks for getting my the extra tickets!!!!
Lisa
Brett
is #2 in my book behind you!
Jenn
Hey
Mark, I notice that on Thursday your website says doors
open at 7. Now are you going to go on at 7 or is it going
to be later? Me and Jim are getting down there about 430-5
to check in our rooms. Just wanted to know how long we have
by the time we get down there till the time you go on. Thanks
Jay Paoella
Mark:
Be sure to send me a picture of you and Brett! Have Fun
Renee
Mark,
My neighbor just called me and she is a nurse at Childrens
Hospital and she is attending concert with me and was talking
about it at work with some others. One of her co workers
desperately wants tickets because her son is a fan of Brett
Michaels. She asked me if I could reach out to you to see
if she could get two for her and her son.
Can you let me know if you have two more available today?
Nicole (Ingram)
Looking
forward to tomorrow night. Have a great show. Grab us if
u can so that we can meet Brett and take some pics. I know
that probably can't happen but you never know unless you
ask. :-) c-ya tomorrow.
Roger
If
you can get in 1-2 other people to see Brett, come and get
me.
Christa
Mark,
I was wondering if you are available (next summer,2011),
St Gabriels would like to book Hit n Run. Let me know
Gary King
Mark,
Thanks for sending updates on your events. Would Hit n Run
be available to play at St. Christopher Summerfest this
coming year on the evening of Saturday, August 6, 2011 from
7:00 - 11:00 PM? If you are available, what would your fee
be for the four hour gig? I know that you are booked up
early with your many return engagements, so I'd like to
present this to my Committee as soon as possible. Thanks
Ray K (St Christopher)
Call

Matt (Rapids Theatre)

Mike H (Red Bull sponsor)
Mark
! ! Keith Wesolek Here, the Head East Guy lol -our Fire
company was wondering if St barnnabs Booked you for next
year? since i'm a parishioner of the church, i believe that
was the last lawn fete. we were talking about having a beer
blast/fundraiser behind our fire station which is on george
urban 2 blocks east of the church on the Saturday that you
would normally play at barnabas if they didn't book you
or if they did and your plans change when they decide to
merge would you be available for us?
Keith
No
problem, Mark. I appreciate you getting back to me. My fiance
and I thought that it would be tough to work it out since
August is right in the middle of the carnival season. You
were the number one pick, but we totally understand your
schedule, I must say. I absolutely LOVE the idea about the
stagette. I will surely be in touch with you about that!
How awesome! Have a great rest of 2010.
Stephanie M

Hi
Mark. I'm sorry I missed your call on Saturday. I would
definitely like you guys to play at my wedding but I have
a few questions about how much space you need as my venue
is a little small. I am available during the week for a
phone call after 7:30pm and on the weekends at any time.Thanks,
Kristen

Darylann (DA)
Hi,
Mark!! I need a couple of favors. First off, we are celebrating
my friend Toni's birthday on Friday. Could you wish her
a happy birthday and do her favorite songs, "Come Sail
Away" and "Bad, Bad Girlfriend" for her and
send them out to her? Thanks! And the second favor is this:
My friend and I are in charge of our bowling league's banquet
this season for next year in either April or May (I'll find
out the exact date in 2 weeks). We have to find a band and
I wanted to know how much you would charge for Hit N Run
to play at our banquet. Thanks, Mark!! See you Friday night!!
Lisa
Hi
Mark, we emailed a couple of times earlier in the summer.
You asked me to check back with you this month to see if
the band was free for our wedding at Salvatore's. So, here
I am, checking back in. We were wondering if the band was
available, and if so, how much it would cost. If you have
a chance to get back to me, that's great. Hope you enjoyed
your summer and we look forward to seeing more of the band
this fall!
Stephanie Mack
Are
you guys available for the Marilla Carnival on Friday June
17, 2011.

2 hour set. Thanks so much

Hi,
this is Connie from the Eden Emergency Squad. I'm interested
in if you do fundraising events ever and what your pricing
and availability would be for next may. We are a volunteer
Emergency Squad in Eden, NY and we are looking for better
ways to raise money. We already do a chicken barbeque and
chinese auction every year in May.

I
will be celebrating my birthday next year and was wondering

Good
Morning Mark, received this e-mail and thought of you &
my Amy and wondering how you are doing since the loss of
your loved ones. Hope all is well and will see you soon.
PS: is it pathetic that when I now hear "I've Got You
Babe" in the car, I shout "babe" like you
do? I wish I could download your version into my IPod instead
of the original, and Kelly's version of Lady Gaga, too.
Have a great weekend!
Mary

Hi
Mark, I was writing with hopes to find out what the availability
for Dec. 17th to have Hit N Run play at my wedding reception,
looks like. I know it's a busy time of the year so if we
need to be flexible with the date I believe that won't be
an issue, as long as it's after the 17th. If u could let
me know asap I would appreciate it. This is Joyce...Jen
and Pat's friend ;). Thanku
Joyce
Hi
Mark, This is Janice. My son and I come to see you guys

St
Barnabas was a great show, wish I could have stayed longer
but had to meet up with some girls. I was trying to make
it our on Friday as well to meet up with an old buddy. His
wife likes your band and I told her I work with you and
she was like "do you really?" Great crowd and
my buddy was laughing his ass off when you made that comment
and had me raise my hand, the people around me were joking
with me after...(first time ever seeing you) I'd definitely
see you play again, Macaroons is close by me, have to catch
you guys when you play there.
Erick
Hi

Hello,
I was wondering if you could send me some information regarding
availability and/or if you will play at weddings. My fiance
and I are planning a wedding for September of 2011 and would
like to have a live band play. We are estimating that we
would have the band play for approximately 3.5 hours. Thank
you for your help and have a great day,
Lindsey M
I
left some messages on the phone number listed on your website
but I thought maybe this would be a better way to reach
your band. The Lewiston Pubfest would love for you to be
a wonderful part of raising money for Children's Hospital
of Buffalo. Your band is what Buffalo is all about and would
love to show that in the Niagara County area. Please look
at the attached file for details of our fundraiser. Thank
You,
Theresa A K
Hi
Mark: I'm putting together a benefit for Roswell Park at
the Dockside in NT. Wanted to know if you, Pat, and/or other
band members would be interested in stopping out to do a
couple of songs. We don't need the whole band, it's gonna
be more of an open jam kind of thing. Let me know if you're
interested and I'll get you more info. Hoping to get up
that way to see you tonight.
Tom Schuh WECK/Buffalo & WLVL/Lockport
I
left you a voice message, and again, not at all sure that
you even have a need. You've always been good to me, so
I thought even if you are not looking, you could throw my
name around. I have left Dreamland, Good talented people.I
thought it couldn't hurt to contact you. I hope all is well.
Ron Rocco
Can
you please end the night with free bird! this is the last

You (Hit-n-Run) did our wedding @ the Millenium back in
November 2008. It was a fabulous time and you guys made
it that way!!!! We were wondering if you possibly have any

Club paradise. We REALLY were hoping to go to the show,
but somehow missed when the tix went on sale and just realized
it is SOLD OUT!!!! Huge bummer! ~Hoping and waiting w/ fingers

the news. Not bad for a nights work.
Ashley
Hey
Hit n Run, I saw you on good morning WNY, channel 7. You

Dave Cuddihy (Uncle Fester Band)
Nice
two paragraph article on the band and your show last night.
Christa
Mark,
I was getting ready for work and thought I heard your voice
on the TV. Then my husband runs in to say Hit n Run is on
Good Morning Western NY. Awesome. You are everywhere!
Andrea
Saw
you at Thursday in the Square. You close your eyes and you
sound just like Bon Jovi.
Mike
LMAO
! Not bad (Wide Right) to be Prince. Put HNR stickers on
the signs at Broadway and Transit. Not sure what we are
doing tonight. Mac's start time is 10 pm. Then Sat afternoon
pool party, and on my way to Bases Loaded for a 10 pm start.
I feel like Mark Valentino. You guys deserve all the Publicity
you get. "Great (HNR) to be King".
Ken Kolniak
I
get a call asking me if I know Guy from Hit N Run. I said
no (kidding around) LOL. She said he has a big picture in
the Buffalo news from the show at the square. With Wild

is extremely talented. It made my job easy.

Excellent show tonight!! The selection of songs for the
set list was perfect! You had a great showing of HnR fans
plus you picked up many new fans.People were congratulating
me! I never had a doubt!! Thanks,
Mike
Hit
and Run, Your bass player is great. If he can not make you
smile while watching him at one of your shows, there is
something wrong with you.
Peter
Mark,
This is Keith from the "Cancer" benefit scheduled
for at Island Park in Williamsville. This is a NEW concept
bringing the whole community together to support cancer
research. 100% of all proceeds will benefit Roswell. We
were hoping to utilize your band for the "Party in
the Park" segment?? We will have massive TV screens
showing the Bills vs. The patriots on that date, with live
music, beer, food, kids activities, Chinese auction, and
much more.

Won't be able to get to the Square tonight, unfortunately,
but I hope it goes well for you guys! See you at a show
again soon.
Charles
You
know Tom Sawyer is always a hit whenever your band does
that. So Limelight, listened to that on the
way in this morning on the Ipod. Typical high pitch singing
that Geddy Lee usually has. There was a Rush special on
TV the other night. See you at the fair Wednesday. Its
Bike Day too!
Mark T
I
was hoping to get your CD by know, so i can sing along with
you from time to time. So if some day you have time, my
address is Cutie DA Barbie

I
understand that Ticketron is all sold out for Brett Michaels,

Can I get 2? It will be great to see Hit N Run perform with
Brett.
Glenn

Hi,
Mark!! Could you do me a favor? Could you resend me the
email about upcoming shows for this week? I accidentally
deleted it. Need it so I know how to get there and show

THANKS STEVE
Hey
Guys and Gal, My name is Jennifer and I am a new fan of
Hit N Run. I work with nurses who go and see your shows
all of the time. A few other girls had talked me into going.
My first show I seen was when you all performed in Alden
back in July. I have been to every show since then. I had
such a great time. I cant wait to watch you guys perform
at the fair on August 11th. I am counting down the days.
Hit N Run Rocks!!!! I would really appreciate any information
that you may have for me to get a hold of 2-4 tickets to
go and see Hit N Run With Bret in Sept. Your band is awesome.
See you guys on august 11th at the fair its going to be
great. Rock on and Forever
Jennifer
Hi
Mark, I know your at the club also on Saturday night that
same weekend and your scheduled Friday at Macaroons but,
is there any chance you can do the whole weekend?
Sue (Club Paradise)
Hearing
you guys play Free Bird the 2nd night at Resurrection was
by far, the highlight of the summer tent tours. It was flawless!
Jimmy C
Hope

the Summer Rock
Michael V

Thank
You for the tribute for Willie and friends! It was very
thoughtful of you! Also wanted to tell you the band was
really HOT last night at Resurrection last night! It was
good to see you all again! Had a great time as usual!
Joy and Bob Matson
Hi

times and had a great time. I'd love to have this atmosphere
at my wedding! I was wondering if I could get some info
on your wedding packages if you are available this day.
I am looking for an evening reception, ~4 hours. The reception
is all outdoors (under a large white tent). Please provide
me with any information on price/sound&elec requirements/time/etc.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Ashley H
Hey
mark, just wanted to thank you again for an enjoyable weekend
and
on another note it seems like the band has come a long way
since we talked about it last time. Good to see that it
all came together better than ever. Take care and I will
see you soon.
Joe Tall
See
you on Fri night. Maryann called Wally to bust his balls.
She said finally he took her advise and hired HNR.
Ken K
I
wanted to give you my number so we can discuss (details
for) our show. Lets touch base later this month.
Claudette S
We
want to buy shirts for the bartenders to wear Saturday Night
(at Clarence on Labor Day weekend). Do you still have an
ample supply of all sizes?
Tim
Just
wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your work this
past weekend. Even though your schedule was hectic, the
band's performance stayed true and professional as always.
We appreciate everything you do for us to make each year
you have performed at our lawn fete a success. Thanks again
-
Mark (Resurrection)
Call

Roger
Steely
Dan
maybe a bit too mellow or not wide known enough
Mark
Hi:)
We had a great time at OLBS & then headed to the Aud
for a bit. Thanks, as always for playing Hot for Teacher.
Hopefully, you are not sick of it!! Our next night out is
the Fair next Friday. See you then....Oh! I can't believe
we had to miss you at Sunset, but I heard it was fun.
Terry
hey

her birthday her name is liz hope you can give her a little
reminder, thanks
john
Ya
I bought my (Brett Michaels tix) from tops like in April
when they went on sale... But I only bought one like a tard.
Lol. I think I paid like 42.50 with some extra charge. Can
you get me another ticket? Either way... Haha I'm paying
$80 to come see HNR. Bret who!? Lol.
Brandon
Mark,
I understand that Hit N Run as a band is extremely busy
and has grown tremendously. I feel as though the band is
a huge part of my childhood and I remember it being one
of the highlights. All the trips to Darien Lake and just
getting to go on stage. Since the band has been a big part
of my past and I will always remember it I feel that it
would be great to bring the band back for the end of my
childhood meaning my graduation party. If my dad could still
play a few songs or a set with you guys just to bring back
old memories. Please get back to me and maybe we can works
something out it would be an honor to have you guys play
just a few sets.
Holly E
Interested
in hiring for wedding. Does Hit N Run perform at weddings?
If so how can I inquire regarding price and availability?
Date is September 3, 2011 at a Country Club. Thanks!
Dehlia B
Thanks
Mark, I really appreciate the information. I will call in
September. My fiance and I did go to OLBS, and when you
started with Runaway by Bon Jovi I was immediately VERY
excited. A tub of beer and Bon Jovi... what could be better?
Also, the rendition of Bad Romance was really awesome, I
have never heard a band play it live before. Lady Gaga is
my favorite artist so that was awesome for me! And I always
love hearing Don't Stop Believing and Separate Ways. Even
if it doesn't work out for our wedding, you have two new
Hit n Run fans and we plan on joining the 2011 Beer Tent
Tour! Thanks for a great show. Best wishes and speak with
you in a few months,
Stephanie
I
REALLY want to be there when you open for Brett Michaels.
Is it Thursday September 23rd, at Club Paradise? That is
going to be a hell of a night for you guys. I had my daughters
(Justine 14 & Marissa 7) with me at OLBS on Saturday
night. I introduced them to Guy and Kelly during your break.
I do have a request for you. RUSH is my favorite band. Could
you fit TOM SAWYER or anything by RUSH into your set list?
Thanks again, and I'll see you this weekend on THE BEER
TENT TOUR 2010.
Jay P
YOU
GUYS SHOULD PLAY AT BEACH MORE OFTEN, I REALLY ENJOYED IT..
I LOVE THE BEACH AND YOU GUYS WERE AWSOME.. ;)
Dianne B
Mark,
This is my old stomping grounds. You will have a great turn
out (at Brighton Field Days) because the beer tent is always
packed either way. I grew up on Loretta and this is a big
deal for this area! Have fun!
Karen
Hey
Mark, Please add me to the weekly email list. Thank you!
Josette
Dont
know if you remember me but I am the guy that gave you a
copy of Firehouse from the club. Can I get 2 tickets for
Brett Michaels if poss. Let me know?
Adam H
Hello,
they are fine and both said hello as well. I would have
no problem throwing the party on a Sunday or some other
off day and the party will probably be Sometime in July
so we have plenty of time to work something out. Thank you
for the quick response and I will definitely be in touch
with you soon. P.S For the Buffalo Bills I currently work
handling some financial business. I will be coming out to
see Hit N Run on the 11th for the Erie county fair. I cant
wait and I will see you then
Holly Eisensmith
What
do you charge for a 4 hour gig on Sunday, August 8th. if
you're available that is. J Thanks very much!
Nicole
Mark,
Hi. Lancaster Police inquiring on your available dates for
Feb./March. Fundraiser is looking like it will be at Salvatore's
again. Can u let me know what Friday's you have available
for these months. Also, a fellow Police Officer is putting
together a separate Fundraiser and is looking to book Hit
N Run if possible.
Jeff S
The
purpose of this email is to inquire regarding cost of the
band for a future fundraiser for Cancer Awareness. The date
and time in 2011 have yet to be determined but we would
very much be interested in Hit N Run being a featured band
for this occasion, as you are inarguably the very best,
with a terrific following. Please respond with a price schedule
by return e mail. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards
Dennis B.
Mark,
I just wanted to see if you had any interest in doing two
shows at Queen of heaven next year. It came up at our meeting
recently and wanted to get more information.
Terry (Queen of Heaven committee member)
I
saw Hit n Run on TV, tonight.
Melissa
Hello
Mark, Man you are having a great run & we can't wait
to see you at our field days. Friday with the parade etc
will be very busy. we are asking that you get to the stage
early to unload and come in via the beer tent. any questions
please give me a call
wgb brighton fire co.
HNR
never ever disappoints I've never seen a bad show in all
the years I've had the pleasure of watching and listening
too. Your striving to play the best you guys can play every
time out is just amazing. And your thousands of fans know
this. That is why we all come out week after week year after
year. It never gets old We are a lucky group of fans to
be fortunate enough that you have decided to play here in
buffalo. So my advice to you is to not change a thing. There's
a reason why your in the buffalo rock hall of fame.
Roger
Hi
Mark, We're thinking of taking our daughter out to Sunset
tomorrow... given that she's a Hit N Run fan and a Sabres
fan :) This is a fundraiser? Thanks!
Chris
Wow...
I know everything seems to have worked out for them. ;-)
Steve
Nice
to see hit and run on the tv. The instruments could have
been a little lower, but the vocals sounded good
Nate
Where
is the field day location (Brighton)
Amy
Sounded
great both Friday and Saturday night. Going to try to stop
out this weekend but you know me I'll be hiding waiting
for you to spot me.What time do you start at Reserection?
Jim Gleason
You
are on channel 20 on Time Warner. Where was that taken from?
Lee
Mark,
I wish you would have let me know that they had Hit n Run
on TV, showing your performance in Lancaster on the 4th
of July, from a few weeks ago. I only caught Its My
Life and Before he cheats
would have
liked to see the whole thing or record it. The band sounded
and looked great on TV.
Mary
Hi
Mark, Just following up to our phone conversation July 9
concerning our event scheduled at Salvatore's Italian Gardens.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks so much and I am truly looking forward to hearing
your band :) Have a wonderful day!
Barbara L. Dunham
Mark,
Check out channel 20 on Cable. Hit N Run is on TV.
Kim
Hi
Mark, I feel that is why Hit N Run is so successful other
than the talent of course. I was able to make it to Queen
of Haven and also I brought a friend and her husband to
Dock At The Bay and they were both very impressed and commented
how much band sounds just as good as the original artists.
Looking forward to many more shows this summer. I will stop
by and say hello. I started coming to see the band a few
years ago when Pat Brayman was the drummer he is a friend
and that is how I found out about the band. Well take care
and thanks for all the fun I have at your shows.
Liz
Hi
Mark: This is Pepsi Ron, just wondering if band is available
9/17/11 for my daughter's wedding at Salvatores? Very interested
in booking, please forward price/details. Thanks. C u soon!
Ron
Hi
Mark, Maybe you can wish him a belated Happy Birthday on
Friday & Saturday, by playing TOM SAWYER or something
else by RUSH. Guy Nichols told me that he knows how to play
it. I'll see you at RESURRECTION this weekend,
Jay P
You
are not like that. You let your talent do the talking.
Fred
The
girl from Boogie Monster goes to one of her band mates"
Hey, he's got a HNR bumper sticker on his base drum".
Thought that was funny.
Ken
Mark~Just
wanted to say thanks for dedicating a few songs to Jordan
at St John Vianney's. Still shocked he just stood there!
lol It was a great time, and good to see a nice crowd! Kelly~
you were great as always! See Ya guys soon!
Kathy
You
are an amazing talented person. No one can hold a candle
to MARK VALENTINO. Extremely talented, dont ever forget
it.
Melissa
Dear
Hit and Run, I was wondering if the band would be interested
in playing at a benefit at the Bowen Rd. Grove in Lancaster
from 4-11pm. Your band is very well known in this area and
would greatly help ticket sales. Please let me know if are
are able to help us out in anyway. Thank you so much for
your time and consideration. Sincerely,
Heather M
Mark,
My wife is having a party for me on Friday 10/8 in the falls.
She wanted me to check with you to see first if your available
and 2nd how much would it be for approx 2-hours from 9-11
PM. Be gentle lol!! Thanks
Lee W
"Give
credit were credit is due and honor to those who deserve
it . I can't speak on behalf of another person, namely Hit-n-Run.
What I can say is Mark deserves respect for his years of
work and when anyone gets on board Hit-n-run as a member
you all go bonkers crazy that you got in the best band in
Buffalo! Thank Mark for the run you had and cut your own
way through all the crap now.....forget about excuses and
book the hell outa yer' bands! When one gig falls off the
schedule book somewhere else and just keep on movin'! Also
put yourselves in another mans shoes, now you run your own
bands and have to deal with all the junk you didn't have
to deal with when you just showed up played and collected
all the money!!!
Pat Terry (Naughty Dawg Band)"
I
have your schedule on my t-shirt, and printed out for the
rest of 2010. I will be at all the events that I can possibly
make. The next event that I can make on the Beer Tent Tour
2010, is at Resurrection in Cheektowaga on 7/30 & 31st.
I am going to try to get to Brighton Field Days on Friday,
August 6. Thanks for helping to make my Summer of 2010 one
of the BEST ever. You guys ROCK, and are some of the most
down-to-earth people I've ever met.
Jay Panzarella
Hi
Mark, Thank you for getting back to me. From your website
it appears that you are probably hammered with requests
and questions on a regular basis =) My belief is the music
is the most important part of a wedding reception, so I
am willing to spend money on it for a great time. Your song
list is filled with my favorites- Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi, Journey...also
I hear from my friends that your band is the best in Buffalo.
I myself will be coming to see the band this Saturday July
24 with my fiance at the OLBS Carnival in Depew. Can't wait!
I am hopeful it works out.
Stephanie
Mark,
Thanks for calling me on Saturday! I wanted to check your
availability for Saturday, April 16th. If you have the date
available, would you let me know how much your fee is? I
hope you dont mind that I used this e-mail address;
I got it from a friend who clearly is a big fan of yours.
I think she plans her social schedule around your bands
schedule. Regards,
Christopher L
Do
you guys still do calling all angles by train Women love
when u do that song. Modern English is another good one.
Roger
I
know you like those record tents, I work with a woman who
helped manage the SJ Vianney beer tent. She tells me the
Friday / HNR tent was their biggest. I said of the
weekend? She says EVER. Hey we had a great
time too, doing the HNR weekend both tents. I stopped there
Sunday night, you could have thrown your beer across the
tent and not hit any one.
Mark T
Are
you playing at Sunset bay this Saturday. I have a cottage
there.
Marilyn
i
have had the great pleasure of being at queen of heaven
for that record breaking night, and have partied with you
guys for the last month. you guys are awesome,its the best
of times being there. rock on.
Christopher S
The
new Bon Jovi song sounded great. In fact we told Kelly that
you guys sounded really crisp. We were surprised that you
played something to believe in. I know you don't usually
play slow songs at beer tents that often. We appreciate
it. It's a special song for us and we love hearing you play
it. We will catch back up at macs in a month when you guys
play there. Which just so happens to b my b-day so I'm sure
we will do a shot or two that night. Have a good week.
RM
Mark,
Im sure well catch you at the fair on the 13th
. You and Pete should hit the links
he loves golf
even though it doesnt always love him.
Sharon
Thanks
for the picture. Looks great! Adds to my collection of screensavers
here at work
Mark T
Sounded
great both nights.I thought Joe's seat was going to kill
me. Of coarse eight burnt finger tips didn't feel good either.Saturday
we will be out again or possible Friday.IM GOING TO BRING
A SEAT BELT,LOL.
Jim Gleason
I
am getting married Saturday in 2011. The reception will
take place at Salvatore's. I was wondering if Hit N Run
would be available to play at the reception, and if so,
what they would charge. Thank you for your time!
Stephanie M
good
morning i belong to st gabriels holy name in elma and was
curious what the price would be to book you for a dance.
we have no date in mind yet but have seen the crowds at
the lawn fetes,etc. thank you for your time.
Gary King
Congrats.
You broke your own record from a few years ago at St John
Vianney. We would like you to keep us in mind for doing
both weekend dates next year. There are 5 weeks in July
next year, so it might not conflict with some of Hit N Run's
other scheduled carnivals.
Bernie
What
is the Pat Kaletas show at Sunset all about?
Mark T
Born
to be my baby came out amazing.
Kathy
OLBS
was the first time I ever saw you. If I had to guess one
guy on the softball team can sing like that, you would be
my last pick. We had so much fun. I told Jerry that you
were the best band we EVER heard and any time he goes to
see Hit and Run to call me and we will be there.
Tony R
Mark,
you broke your record for sales by a few thousand at our
Carnival. Thanks. The band is absolutely outstanding.
Mike H
Great
show. It is a pleasure working with you at the carnival
and at club paradise.
Big Jack
I
will have to work on getting you in for both dates again
next year.
Tony S
Great
show. Loved the Sonny and Cher.
TJ
The
person that I was with at SJV said the band sounded even
better. She loved the new tunes.
David Terry
We
could have used you at OLBS on Friday. Even though it was
a nice night on Friday, we were down by a large amount from
last year. Then even though it rained on your Sat, the tent
was packed. Hope to have you back for both days next year.
Mike
Great
show! Had some friends in from out of town and they were
very impressed. We will see at a few more shows this summer.
Dan Christmann
Hey,
it was great seeing you and the band again & the hubby
loved singing Kiss. Take care, have a great week. We're
on vacation the 1st week of August... where are you guys
playing?
Sharon R
Mark
you have thousands of fans. People are fickle but there's
a reason why they come out week after week year after year.
Because you are genuine. Stay true to yourself and everything
else will take care of themselves. Am I making any sense.
Lol. Well you get the idea.
Roger M
Hi
Mark - looking forward to St. John Vianney tonight &
just to let you know, Amy will need some extra cheering
up tonight - It'd be really good if you could make her smile
- as I've said before, HNR always makes a bad week better
so I'm hoping this will work for her. See you later
Mary
Looking
forward to tonights show.
Kathy K
See
u @ St. John Vianney !!!!!!!!
Shirley
Mark,
just keep doing what you are doing and dont listen
to others. It is no surprise why Hit and Run is continually
the top band.
Frank
I
talked to 65 people about going tonight (to see you at SJV.)
Dave Terry
Sounded
good at the DOCK AT THE BAY.we we're there about 2 hours.Hade
some dinner. Hope to bee out Friday or Saturday to see you.
Jim Gleason
There's
good people and there's crapy people too. Your my friend
and I'll stick up for you. There's a lot of people I know
that feel the same way as I do. I'm loyal to my friends
and after 10 years I consider you my friend. Have an awesome
weekend.
Roger
ok,
i will be there! save me a ticket and front row spot
Darylann (aka DA)
Mark,
first thanks for another great weekend. If you have the
contact info for OLBS, let me know.
Joe Tall
Just
know that we would not stop seeing Hit n Run.
Rich
That
was a kind and sweet reply. Thanks for the input, too. I
have been networking, and we have been offered a couple
venues whenever we're ready...thankful to HNR, because it's
places you guys play...even one you haven't...yet...but
I meet the employees, the managers, the owners and not too
many musicians....I guess I'm not sure who they are, or
how to approach them. (I mostly go to HNR shows) Any introductions
at any point would be greatly appreciated.Take care!
Dee Hamilton
Mark,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING AT MY PARTY! I had such a
great time, and everyone keeps telling me how good my party
was and how much they enjoyed the band. You definitely made
my party epic
Michelle N
Mark.
I finally have another gig and you guys are at OLBS on sat!!
Fluster Cluck is at Whiskey Joe's at 9 sat. Maybe we can
get your overflow looking for something to do. Lol.
Joe Mama.
No
problem Mark. Anytime.
Jackie
Hey
Hit and Run, just keep taking the high road, people realize
that and that is part of the reason why you get our support.
Bill
Can
I ask a lil favor? My son is soooo excited to see you guys
tomorrow. He has been telling everyone he's going to see
"the Band", thats what he calls you guys. anything
you can do (dedication) will be greatly appreciated! Tx
Kathy
If
you got one of those sandwich boards I'll wear it and walk
up and down transit with it on (to let everyone know wher
HNR is playing). Lol. See you soon.
Brandon

Tom M (Starstruck Productions)
I

This would be for a School in West Seneca. Our hall has
a stage and a capacity of around 400. Please let me know
what the cost would be. Thanks,

have every seen you guys do. With thousands through the
gate and a NEW RECORD SET all we can say is thanks, and
Mark and Jen always have fun with you guys. From everyone
at Q of H Thanks so much ! KEEP ROCKIN
Terry Goracke (Queen of Heaven Carnival Committee)
Hi!
I'm wondering your cost to play at a private party. This
would be at a banquet facility on Saturday, January 29,
2011. The party will be about 4.5 hours - it is for a birthday.
I look forward to hearing back from you!
Anna V
I
received a call from Joe dash saying how tight the line-up
for Hit n Run was at Old Home Days. Being a bass player,
Joe watched yours very closely and absolutely loves your
bass player and has asked to meet him in person at our party.
I stopped by later and met up with Joe. It was a huge crowd
and a great time.
Mark Mahoney
Mark,
thanks for another great show. We hope to have you back
next year at Frog hair.
John
Hey
my fiance' and I are planning on getting married in 2012
and we know we definitely want a band to play at our wedding.
We were wondering how much you guys charge to play at a
wedding and how we go about booking you for the event. Thanks
so much.
Desire' and Jeremy
Still
recovering from Q of H 7/10. A nice way to celebrate my
birthday a day early. Glad to see Pat (Keys) back in the
group. As you know, I have been a fan for many years and
continue to spread the word.
Geoffrey
Hi!
I'm an avid fan and have seen y'all play around buffalo
a few times..I'm getting married in 18 months and am wondering
if yous do wedding receptions and if so how much for 5hrs?
Thank you!
Krystle W
Hi
Mark, I didn't get a chance to tell you on Thursday and
Friday: Thanks for my REO song...I love it!!! Thanks!!!
Lisa
Hello
Hit N' Run! I am throwing a surprise birthday party for
my boyfriend on July 16th. He and his parents really enjoy
listening to your band. Do you have any CD's available for
purchase? Thanks,
Mary Grace F
Mark,
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. I have gotten so many phone calls
& emails from everyone saying how much fun they had
and HOW AWESOME your band is! Michelle told me "it
was totally epic" -- but I am still frustrated that
she didn't play guitar with you. Her guitar teacher was
there. You helped us make family memories for a lifetime
and I can't thank you enough. I totally owe you! See you
around the "tents" Your friends,
Stan & Liza
I
am looking forward to seeing you guys at Club Paradise with
Brett Michaels.
Gail
Thank
you for the response not many people would take the time
to answer. I look forward to many more shows, I will be
attending the carnival this weekend with friends. I have
brought other friends to here the band and they also have
become fans. See you this weekend. Thanks Again
Liz L

JIM GLEASON (former HNR member)
Will
you be able to somehow post to your fans that you'll be

foundation fundraiser on the Beach in Sunset bay?)
Sean
Rats
wanted me to see if you were interested in playing cityjam-
sunday aug 8, looking at 1 set, pa supplied, for St Mary'
of the Lake catholic grammar school. I could schedule the
band early or late to accommodate your schedule-let me know!
Also I saw on your schedule that you may have the 7th open-
They would be interested in that if its available. Regards,
Tom McGill Starstruck Productions
great
stuff the past couple nights. this year just keep in mind
that the fireworks (at St John Vianney) are about 9:45 to
10:00. next year sjv will be the 4th weekend of july or
22-23 and 24 ---please keep these dates open if you can---if
there is a conflict you can let me know---call me in the
fall. sjv would be happy to have u---perhaps a couple nights---again
let me know how that fits with your schedule.
Bernie Nash (SJV)

Michelle
Awesome!
You rock! Thank you! The CD's are all ready and I have instructions...
;)
Claudette
Hi
Mark, Thanks for the kind words, but believe me it's you
that makes my job easy. Your great following is what brings
in the crowd to pack the pavilion and sells all that beer.
Thanks for being such a great friend and I look forward
to working with you in the future.
Jackie (Cheektowaga Park Chair)
Not
another record (for Hit n Run) ;-)
Ken Kolniak (Wide Right)
Hi
Mark, I got lucky enough to get your Thursday in the Square
show opening for the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Dan R(Buffalo.com)
We
stopped out on our bikes on Sat to Queen of Heaven. It was
so packed, we never even walked in to the tent because you
could not move or get in there. But I still wanted you to
know that we stopped out to see you.
Carl
We'll
make it out to see you one of these nights this weekend.
Your summer is going well for you. Take Care-
Renee
I
see that you're playing Sunset Bay at Noon on 7/31. By coincidence,
we are checking into our cottage there the same day. Where
are you playing? Is it a private party?
Greg M
So
Q of H Saturday, what does this say about HNR followers?
By my estimate, combined Janet & I served up 1500 beers
to the crowd. PARTY ON!!!
Mark T
Hi
Mark, Thanks so much for the cd! My son loves the Glee music
(he's four), and I had your cd playing in the car....he
says >"papa that's not the same song (Don't Stop
Believin), but play it loud any how". lmao. Thanks
again,
Mike Pignataro
Hey
Mark! Thank you again for the t-shirt and pulling me on
stage to play the cowbell! This past month has been really
rough dealing with the aftermath of my car accident &
HNR made my birthday weekend just fantastic! Thanks again
and we'll see you Thursday & Friday!
-Mary
Hey
there, Quick question: Do you have a way that during cocktail
hour (6-7pm) intros of wedding party/first dances, and during
your breaks, we can pop in our CD of music through your
PA or something? Thanks so much!
Claudette
You
had some wonderful crowds over the weekend. See? If I was
out there, you'd NEVER be able to pick me out of the crowd.
Heck, I'd never be able to push my way to the front! Ha!
I'm still trying to get out to see you again but my schedule
is about as busy as yours. Friday we're playing at Crazy
Jakes (N. Tonawanda) and then Saturday night we're playing
during the Italian Festival at The Shadow Lounge in Buffalo.
Hope all is well.
Cris
I'm
gonna come out Thursday (at Old Home Days.) I'll be in Syracuse
for a big bike show on Friday so I'll start my weekend early
with you guys. See you then.
Brandon
Maybe
if you are up for it you could put me on your back stage
list for Thursday in the square. If it is a problem it's
no be deal I'm still covering it. FYI Buffalo Place rarely
lets us back stage access with put permission from Performer.
Thought some shots from that perspective would be interesting
That all. Thanks again and see you Thursday @ Williamsville
Dan
Hit
n Run did not just break the record at Queen of Heaven,
you SMASHED it by about 33% for sales. Estimated close to
9,000 through the tent. One of the people working the bar
wondered how the ACDC would sound, and I told him just wait
and you tell me. During Thunderstruck, he walked over to
me to say that Guy was absolutely AMAZING.
Terry G (Queen of Heaven)
Hi
Mark, Just following up to be sure that you received the
email. Please let me know if you have a contract and/or
require a deposit, etc. for the booking of your services.

pm for this day to play at his house in Clarence. Can you
please let me know either way? Thank you.

do a function on. Can you call me with pricing.
Hey
Mark, My future brother in law is getting married in October
and is looking for a band or DJ. I mentioned your group
and said I'd check it out for him. I'm not sure at all what
you charge for a gig or if you are even available on their
date but I figured I'd ask. Their date is October 16th and
I think the reception is starting around 3pm.
Dave P
Hi
Mark, A lady on West Seneca Community Days asked me to send
this information on to you. She is wondering if your band
would play at her church event. Are you free and interested
in playing at the date listed below? Thank you,
Brenda
Mark,
do you have any shirts left (tank tops) in a large yet???
Nadine
I
am going to have a little get together before we head down
to the Lancaster Carnival. Mark (Hit N Run) is playing down
there and they have fireworks around 10:00pm. I will provide
burgers and dogs.I figured everyone could arrive between
3 and 3:30. Eat around 4:30 and head down to the Lancaster
carnival at 6 ish ?
Ken S
Once
again Hit N Run is sounding great.
Ken K
6/28
Mark, Just wanted to say "Thanks" for playing
"Melt With You" at the OLC lawn fete. We had moved
our dance floor over to the food tent where we had more
room. As usual, the old guy (me) outlasted the younger females
(even Jenny !!!); they only lasted until "Bad, Bad
Girlfriend". Also, as usual, we had a great time !!
'Til next time,
dancin' Dave and Debbie & Jenny
Again
I have to ask What were they thinking?
Tim
We
will definitely be at Queen of Heaven and Dock at the Bay.

party? Thank you.
Karen
Hi
Mark, We've been playing phone tag regarding my July 31st
inquiry for playing at the Beach where we have the entire
beach rented out for thousands of people. I see that you
are booked at 7pm, but our event is during the day. We are
looking for three bands from noon to sundown. Would something
earlier in the day work for you guys? Please let me know

Sean

Good
Morning Mark! I just wanted to thank you again for having
my brother David up on stage for "Dirty Deeds."
As usual, he is just way too funny. And thanks for your
willingness to help us carry them off the beach. They were
slightly awake when we got to them, it was a long ride home!
And thanks for the shot and the drink! As usual, me &
Amy had a FANTASTIC TIME with HNR! You guys always make
a bad week (or couple of weeks) sooo much better! Love you

Hello,
I'm the Social Media Director at the Rapids Theatre in Niagara

carnival and I was quit impressed. I was hoping we could
talk about a few opportunities here at the Theatre. Looking
forward to working with you
Matthew Routhier

Bob
I
had a cancellation at our outdoor carnival and wanted to
try fill the spot and also book bands for 2011. I heard
a lot of great things about Hit and Run and went to see
you at St Johns recently. The band lived up to what I heard.
I wanted to see if you are available in August this year,

We typically get between 1000 2000 people at our
function.
Steve B

the St Johns show with HNR). Good news, HNR will be playing
2 nights at St Barnabas as will WR. Going head to head on
Sat night in the Pub at least for a while. See what we can
do about golf.
Ken
Congrats
Mark on the nice piece written in the gusto. The band sounds
great. Hard to believe you've managed as a group to blend
together so well so quickly. The new songs are a nice mix
with your regular set. Keep on rockin. Do you know if Lancaster
is going to have the 4th of July. C-ya at Dock at The Bay
wed.
Roger M
Mark,
I read the Gusto article Saturday morning. Very impressive.
I do remember telling you years ago that you did Journey
better than Journey did. By the way, how can I get your
CD changed over. Anyway, it was a good piece for you and
the band.
Rick Laettner
Can
you recommend another good cover band, I wanted to hire
you but you were booked.
Dennis
Sandy
and Tony were broadcasting from the canal and mentioned
the bands. Then Sandy mentioned HNR. Tony Calageri said
they are closing the series because they are the best. Then
mentioned that Mark will like the publicity. Sandy went
on to say that Bauerle likes you guys and he should buy
all you guys a drink. Not bad publicity for free.
KK
Hi
Mark, Nice job (at the Dock t the Bay) as usual!! The weather
certainly didn't co-operate but you still had a nice crowd
and the band sounded good! See you friday July 16.
Mike Rozniak
What
can I say, Carolyn and I want to thank you guys for an awesome
evening at our house! You guys rocked once again! We thought
it was the best party we ever had. 150 people, 850 beers
gone, priceless!!! Thanks again, and can't wait 'til nextyear!!!
Joe and Carolyn
Thanks
for playing Zeppelin for us. He's always saying that HNR

Mark, Dont know how you do it, but you always wind
up getting some of the top areas players. The band sounds
hot. Keep it up. I will see you this weekend.
Brian
Good
Morning and Happy Monday! Pat and I will probably be at
the lawn fete in North Tonawanda this Friday after I get
out of work, so we'll see you then. Are you playing at the
lawn fete on Sandridge Road in Alden this year too? Shouldn't
that be coming up soon?
Renee L
heard
about the article - very nice.
Nate
Loved
the Gusto. Jeff Meirs had nothing but good things about
your band. As a rule he does not critic cover bands but
he said he had a great time at Macaroone's and thought you
guys were awsome. Well done!
Ken
Mark
- Carolyn and I just want to thank you and the band for
an awesome evening. You guys rocked as usual, and the party
was our most enjoyable yet!!! I have lots of pictures. Thanks
Joe
Can
you tell me how much it would be to see if you can play
on Saturday, August 7th. The event is for a couple hours
between 2:00 6:00 pm. Thanks
Marty Maloney (Buffalo Sabres Mgr)
I
got you a copy of the HNR article from the news and put
it on my facebook. I also had Mike put it on the Wide Right
website.
Ken
Man,
you pack the hell out of your venues.
Mike H (Balkan Distributors of Red Bull)
I
saw the review in the Buffalo News! Couldn't have said it
better myself. No matter what happens, HNR will ALWAYS be
"tight" and "entertaining". Great review.
Well deserved.

Hi,
mark, I am writing to find out what you would charge us
to come out and perform , I belong to the Fire Ladies Auxiliary.
I am trying to find a band that we can book for a dance.
how far are you booked? How much would you charge us. You
remember me , I'm the lady who always comes to listen to
you, I sat with Lisa at the Dunn tire raceway.

That
(St Johns NF) was the largest crowd that I have played for
(with a local band) in a very very long time. This is amazing.
I am having a blast.
Guy
Hey-

Your list is amazing! We are soooooooo excited!!! This is
gonna be fun!
Claudette
Had
a great time...Man, it is hard to get your attention to
say good-bye. See you again soon!
Dee Hamilton
Yesterday
Char and I had hair appts. One of the girls name is June
she is a big fan of H N R . As we were leaving she said
"don't forget H N R is at the Dock Wed." Now all
we need weather!
Mike
Mark,
I have a really good picture of you with the Buffalo Jills.
It's yours...as long as you admit that I'M your favorite
Gunning. Thanks for an AWESOME party!
CarolYn Gunning
Did
you see the article by Jeff Meirs in the Buffalo News Gusto.
Great write-up for Hit and Run. That is fantastic. You guys
are always on top. Congrats.
Ken K
Check
out todays Gusto article by Jeff Miers.
Guy

friday on my desk. Gonna swing by moms, I'll grab it at
her house.

Hit
N Run, You guys totally rocked Froghair last week. Funny
how stuffy golfers and business people change when they
have a few drinks in them huh? LMAO Looking forward to another
beer tent tour. It's going to be out of control this year!!Take
care!

I
am that guy in the front row who always asks where Landahl
is, well where is he? Also I want to thank Kelly for my
request for Gimme Shelter as usual. That girl has got some
pipes! I also want to do the Phil Rissuto part from Paradise
by the Dashboard Lights. I will step in and do it precisely
the way the Scooter does it. Without any cheat-sheets. OK
we got a real pressure-cooker going on.
Jimmy
This
gentleman contacted me to get a copy of your cd. Can you
help him out? Let me know that you received this. Thanks.

You
guys played a show at Paradise Island a few weeks back,
and I talked to you after the show about possibly playing
a song or two on stage with you guys when you play at Mickey
Rats. June 19th is my bday and I asked you if that were
possible. I was just wondering.

Hey
Mark, I am working with a guy in Buffalo that you may or
may not know wth his charity Musicians for Musicans which
is going to raise money for people in Nashville, especially
musicians who lost everything and cant afford to replace
it by putting together a benefit show in Buffalo in September.
Date and Venue should be available soon, but I was wondering
if Hit N Run or you might want to be a part of it. There
are going to be original acts on the bill but you and Hit
N Run would be a great fit and certainly help us sell some
tickets. Thanks
Kevin
Ladyyy..
Gagaaa.. Sweeeet!
Brenda
Hi
Mark! I was thinking of possibly putting you guys on our
patio this year, but I need your input in the matter. Please
let me know what you think as we are trying to keep you
guys in our yard with the intimacy of the band. And there
will be a door prize this year, as well as 50/50 tickets
sold by the Buffalo Jills. Thanks
Joe
How
about the following week--or the week before---what's available?
Mike R
Good
Morning and Happy Monday! I wanted to say "THANK YOU"
for considering performing at my friend Jen's benefit next
May. I saw her on Saturday and she told me that you said
that you would consider doing it. I don't know how well
you know her, but when she lost her family in that plane
crash several years ago, it was a life-altering, horrendous
experience. I also think it is wonderful for you to consider
helping her out. If there is anything that I can do, please
let me know. I hope all is well!
RL
Mark,
Jim wants to know if you are available to do an outdoor
show at Club Paradise in conjunction with Rueben Brown (former
Buffalo Bill) and some of his celebrity friends for one
of his charities? There will be some Jills there and a huge
car and bike show. Call me for details. I need a quick answer.
Mike
Mark
really looking forward to Friday. Weather looks great (keep
fingers crossed), We have 2 Buffalo Jills coming in uniform
to sell 50/50 tickets. I need a favor as I have a nephew
that is 11 yrs old that plays the drums really well, and
I was wondering if he could play 1 song early on? Also,
Jack will want to get up there and pretend to jam on his
guitar. Make sure you guys eat with us at 6:30 ok!!! Thanks
Joe
I'll
probably hit the Dock late (9:15ish) on the 16th and I know
I'll be shooting for 8:00 on the nose in NT on the 18th...I
miss dancing!!! Have a great week!!!
Dee
Hi
Mark, I've meant for a while to send my condolences on Barry's
death. I only know how hard it is to lose a parent, I'm
sure losing a sibling must be a different challenge. Hope
you are doing well. Hang in there. Again, know that I have
been thinking about you and your whole family. Fondly,
Susan
Hello
All, Per our committee meeting letter. Please review your
contact. Also please distribute flyer and small poster attached
