Pat Terry (Naughty Dawg)

I loved ur show on friday night...I probably had the best time i've had in a long time watching u play...your music was awesome, and ur showmanship was great too...i enjoyed all the different types of music u played and u played them all perfect..i will definitely be coming to see u again on the 26th...a bunch of my friends from work will be going with me after i told them how good u were...I work at a cd and dvd manufacturing company called ESP (Eastern Standard Productions) so all of us are always interested in bands like yours...well can't wait until the 26th. Keep on jammin!
DJ Bako

have you considered playing "I Love This Town" by Bon Jovi? Seems like a great interactive song with the audience. :-) Great show last night --- see you at Hamburg Cops Fundraiser.
Tim

As always, you guys sounded great this past weekend - Kelly's vocals on Alone were amazing - Rock on!
Renee

Thank you so much for letting m sit in with you guys at Alexandria's! You are so tight and have such a great sound! The song list is fantastic and you kept the place rocking all night long!! We had a blast! Thank you so much for a great night!!!!

Hello, I was speaking to Rob Lederman and he gave your band a very high recommendation. We are hosting a company party on Friday, May 30th in Tonawanda, NY and would like to have you be the entertainment for the evening dinner party. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.Looking forward in talking with you. Thank you!
Andrea Schultz

Greetings, I also called and left a message. I am interested in hiring you for our private party on July 5th at Rushford Lake. The band played our party a couple of years ago and we would enjoy having you play again. I can be reached either via e-mail or my cell number

The Fire Dept would like to book you for July 19, 08. if possible. Saw you at the fair you guys rock. Thanks
Pat Joyce

Hey, just wanted to let you all know that you guys rocked it out last night. I think I had the most fun I have ever had in a club, your song choices were great, you sounded more than great, you even had me dancing, and I DON'T dance!! I will definitely be looking for where you are playing, and try to follow as much as possible, thanks for a great night! See you on Feb 2!
Kim

Hi Kelly, the show @ paradise was gr8! Ya know what was really cool-U sang more it seemed! Not that the guys r bad.....just nice 2 c u being heard more!!!! =) Cya soon!
Italian Mommy

Its the singer that definitely makes the rest of the band sound good. Not to take away from the talented musicians in the band because they are all very talented. However rumor has it the band has changed again?
Annie

Hey Mark, Well it was fun playing with you guys last weekend! It was a nice surprise playing two tickets to paradise It was nice to hand around for Taz's birthday. He's a fine guy and a great drummer as well. I wonder who came up with the idea of giving him that inflatable girl! But those Hitnrun fans or loyalists as I call them can come with with strange things, but it'a all for good fun! I know how important those people are to you and the band!
Marty R

Hi Mark, Just wanting to know the availibility of the band for July 5th for Town Park. If you can let me know ASAP , I'd really appreciate it.

Matt

Hi Mark. I just had a quick question. I am interested in knowing if the group, by chance, if your band does benefits? and if so how much would it cost? I am working on a benefit for my brother.
Jenn

BTW - A friend of mine and i were admiring the drummer [his talent] on saturday... he's great to watch (and listen to, of course!). we agree that he's a nice addition!!!
Barbara

Mark, Hi. I am one of the event co-ordinators for the Hollywood Happening. All proceeds go to restore the historic Hollywood Theater in downtown. This will be our 10th annual event. I know that Aaron had contacted you last year and that you were interested but had some unavoidable problems that interfered with the bands ability to make it. I would like to extend the invitation to you again this year. I am looking forward to hearing from you about your availability and price.
Dana

Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. I spoke with Bruce last night concerning the details. A group of us are planning to come see your band this weekend at Club Paradise. Looking forward to a good time and to meeting you!! All the best,
Rebecca

You are opening for Boston? I have to be there. Boston was one of my fav bands...oh the songs! You will do it, right? When? Awesome! (just like you!) :]
Aubrey

Loved the New songs and line-up. Nice to see you switching things around a bit. You get better all the time!
Barbara

Mark, Thank you For all the wonderful attention you gave to Lisa and I Friday night. We had a really good time.
Jen

Are the band members allowed to go to lunch with each other again? I knew you would like that one. LOL
Ken

Shea

It is nice to see that we are allowed back ON THE STAGE with the band.
Evil Twin

Mark, Jennifer and I had a ton of fun on Friday night. We wish you could have spent more time with us in between sets, but understand. You're a rock star!!! ;-)
Lisa

We had a GREAT TIME, as always. Brooke thought you and the band were EXCELLENT.
Traci

Mark, Bob here from the West Seneca PBA. I will be getting together with my crew to discuss our upcoming picnic the second Wednesday in June (I think the 11th). I just wanted to see if I should talk you guys up at the meeting or not. I see you say your already booked for the summer. Just let me know and I hope all is going well this new year.
Bob

Can you please let me know if you have June 21st open. We need to book a band and we really want Hit n Run but if you are already booked then we need to get another band. Please call Jim he has been asking about it and would like to speak with you. Thanks
Tammy (Marina)

Mark, your band rocks, I had the best time ever at Club Paradise singing with you, that really put my 33 year old lungs to the test. I can't wait to sing with you again.
Jen (the little blonde blowing you a kiss) P.S. I sent you a pic of my friend Maggie and I at Jamboree in the Hills 07

Hi ~ I see on the Macaroons website you will be playing a happy hour at 7:30 this Friday, Jan. 7. Is this correct? Your website lists a fundraiser there but at 10:30. Please let me know - we'd loved to come out early to hear a couple sets! Thanks!
Geneseo Mom

Terry (Queen of Heaven Committee)

Not to toot your horn but Sue went to Mac's last Sat. night to see a band from Rochester. They are supposed to be a Journey/REO/ cover band. I asked her if they did Journey better then you and she said absolutely not. I could have told her that.
Ken

well the holidays are finally over---never got a chance to talk with you on nye. noted your 2008 schedule that we are defenitely off the list----as i mentioned before we are very disappointed but we understand ----we will continue to support you and you can always ask us for anything---sure you are now busy with personell changes ect well now i have to figure out what to do for entertainment for 2 nights---as a favor is there a group that has a friend you want me to put on my list, if you have someone let me know well again i hope the best for you in 2008 and beyond---hope to see you soon
Bernie (SJV Committee)

Hey Mark, Maryanne Dowdall here. Hope all is well & that you (all) enjoyed your holidays are well rested! Please get rid of my old Email address. I miss you guys - (Steve & I) haven't seen you since before 12/26 so I'm ready for a fix tomorrow night at Macs! Thanks!
Maryanne Dowdall

I'm interested in having the band play at my wedding. I was wondering if the band is available on October 11, 2008 to play at my wedding reception. Friends recommended the band as you're always a hit at the Queen of Heaven carnival! Feel free to email me at this address or at my personal email account, per below. My cell is listed below as well. Hope to hear from you!
Rebecca

Mark, just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for a wonderful time on new years eve. i was wondering when you are comming out with your new shirts for this year and when do they go on sale. your new band members are great i,m looking forward to a great year of seeing hit and run
gary

Hello Mark! Just found out we're back in the "Singles Mingle" business & planning a party. You mentioned last year your band would be willing to do our event. We'll be using our 4 FM stations: WYRK, WJYE, WBLK, JACK to promote, via on-air & websites. We'll provide a link to your site & include you in all on-air mentions (500). Plus, fliers that are available at all Regal Cinemas, Samuel's & station events. Please get back to me as soon as possible! Many Thanks!
-Karen

Thanks for the response Mark, I didn't see anything on the schedule that day so thought I would shoot you out an email to see if we can book Hit and Run. Thanks and I will be seeing you again soon. Have a great day!!!
Alice

The bands performance was 1st rate.(I expected no less). The guy up front singing was pretty good too(LOL). Just wanted to let you know my friend Paul and his wife Toni were very impressed. They had a real good time. They don't usually stay out that late. Nice touch on dedicating that song to Toni. She was floored that you remembered her name. You're good you. Be seeing you.
Rick

OMG. What a great New Years eve show. Mark, thanks for spending time to say hello to me and my family.
Rita

I love the Band. Seeing you play 2 years in a row for New Year's Eve, I don't think that I could celebrate any other way. I love the new band members too. You are all a good fit. I look forward to another fun Beer Tent Season.
Jennifer G. xo

Great show on New Years. I have been following Hit and run now for about a year and half. No offense to some of the former members, but the current lineup looks like they are having more fun on stage. Also looks a lot younger which is a plus for me and my girlfriends. The new material was great, too. See you next week.
Stacey

I went for a hair cut yesterday and the girl asks what I did for New Years Eve. I told her we went to hear HNR and she says aren't they great. I said Kelly, what have I been telling you for the last 5 years. Now she will no longer doubt me. She heard you at a fund raiser at Mac's. Now she wants to here you more often.
Laettner

Thank you to everyone for making my first New Years gig ever a blast!!! stoked about how well the show went. And all of the Hit N Run faithful that were part of the party room, really added to the experience. Great bunch of people there. CRAZY too!!! So thank you to everyone again, and looking forward to seeing you all at Bruce's this weekend.
Taz

I saw you guys play all over BLO and we were blown away so we went to a few more of your shows and had a great time everytime! But I don't get out much anymore but I did see you guys at Desi's a couple months ago and you guys still rock!!! Keep Jammin!!!!!!!

Dave Terry

Hello...we are looking to hold a Member event here at the Country Club and are looking for entertainment and would like to know if you have the date available and what your charge is. Let us know when you can and hopefully we will here from you soon. Thanks
Julie T

Mark - Congrats on all your awards and I am very sorry to hear about Mike...very sad. I was hoping that you might be able to talk dates for this summer. I have been trying to nail you down. I have been trying since last summer to schedule you and I don't want to get to far into this and then you are not able to do this. Please let me know an have a great Christmas!
Heather Russo

Hi Mark, Congratulations on your awards. It truly is a great feeling to be appreciated for all the hard work it takes to keep a band up and running. Give my best to the rest of the guys. I didn't know your friend, but I can relate to the loss, sorry man. Just a quick update on my world, still playing acoustic solo like a maniac. Have a great holiday and a blessed new year.
Ray Wood

It is great to have so many special friends that always make you feel welcome each week they see you. I have missed so many weekends the past 3 months with surgeries that I can't wait until New Year's Eve!!! I should even be able to dance now that my foot is almost healed. Thanks also to Hit N Run's wonderful music for making this a wonderful year and I look forward to 2008. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Dee

Hi! Hadda a lotta fun this wknd! Shocker huh? LOL This wknd coming up though is gonna b way fun! =)
Rita

Hi Mark, Its ok - I understand how busy you guys get. Are there any Saturday evenings in 2008 that you are still available? We would really like to book your band - so we are pretty flexible on dates. We would prefer a date somewhere in June thru September. Let me know! Thanks,
Jannine

never thought that i would have had as great of a time as i did the other night. you guys are freaking amazing!!! hope to see you guys again!!!
~*tammy

The band looks nothing like it did the last time you were in Jamestown. How long has it been? Have a great Holiday.
Tracy S

Sally

Hey there - can you ask your friend (Lisa I think it was) to talk to Mark about booking our event in August. Its for the Sloan Fire Department - and we would really like Saturday, August 16th if we could!
Janine

Hi Mark, I would like to take the time to say what an honor it was for
me also to have my picture taken with you and to give you the male vocalist award and deservingly so, man what a set of chops. That night I understood and know why your band is called HIT-N-RUN because you hit me and the rest of the audience so hard and ran us all over with that awesome show. To be acknowledged by you as the Best Entertainer in WNY is such a compliment, I only hope that I can continue to live up to your expectations. To perform on stage with you would be such a thrill, it would bring back memories of the Goo days, I love that energy. Would you please be so kind as to pass this on to the rest of your band. Music is a universal language and the love of it is the key. That night your band made a statement of how much they love rockin in the free world. Keep up the great work. Sincerely,
Lance Diamond

I wanted to check on your availability for 2008 for our black tie dinner for the Ball at the Hyatt Hotel. It would be a four hour engagement. We have a cocktail reception from 6:00 to 7:00, program from 7:00 to 8:00, music beginning with dinner at 8:00, dancing from 9:00 to 12:00. Are you available, and if so, what would the price be? Thanks.
Tom Greenwald

Congratulations on winning all of those awards last week!!! You guys are a staple here in WNY. Keep on rockin'. I thinking maybe the 21st at Macaroons?
Andy

My weekly email looking for dates for Rats & Rhino's-can you squeeze rhino's in in March.
Tom McGill (Starstruck Productions)

Hi Mark, Nice to hear you and the band HNR won 5 of the 7 awards nominated last Thurs. at the BMA's. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about Mike Martin's passing. He sounded like a guy who very special and inspiring! I'm looking forward to you and the band in a couple of days! 
Marty

Mark, those are two great additions to the band.
Mike M

Congrats Mark on all the awards! Ray and MJ told me about this last night.
Jim B.

Hello Band Members, I am writing to you on behalf of my company, Entertainment Unlimited. We are a full service entertainment booking agency located in NY. We provide a lot of talent to various venues and functions in and around the tri-state area. Can you send a promo package to the address below on the Hit n Run band. Thanks,
Ted Fass

Hi guys!! I have a great friend coming in for the Holidays, and I was wondering if you are having any shows at the end of December or the very beginning of January? (I looked on the schedule, and I didnt see anything for those dates). I love your shows, in fact, I have been up on stage with you all before!! Well Happy Holidays, and please email with show dates. Sincerely, 
Tara

I am sorry for the loss of your friend. 32 is so young. It is nice to hear that he lived his life although fighting a losing battle. Congrats on the wins at the BMA's! Great to hear. We will have a new version of HNR huh? Should be fun to hear. Take care and if I do not see you, Merry Christmas!
Stace

Side note: congrats on your wins: Well deserved. Kudos.
Lys

Dear Mark, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your friend Mike, He was so young. Hugs for you! On another note, you also lost Pat & ken. I will say this, the band I hope will just look different.
Lorraine

Wow, that's too bad about Mike. While I knew him just to say hello to, the guy was a fixture at your shows, much like me. I thought at one time, after 5 BMA's, you were inducted automatically into the BM HOF. Geez, all you have won, you should be there any way. For New Years, are there any kind of HNRspecials/discounts on limo's and/or rooms like you had in the past?
Mark Twardowski

I am requesting info about your band performing at the West Seneca Softball Chinese Auction/Beer Blast. The date for the event is Friday April 4th, 2008. As we start to make the arrangements, I was wondering if you could provide some info. Is that date open and how much do you charge? 
Beth Preziuso

Mark, Nice seeing you guys at the BMA'S last night. Congrats on the awards! You have a great band. Take care, Dave Mucha, Joe McCarthy, Joe Suplicki, Paul Ceppaglia, Helen Butler
(McCarthyizm)

Hi Mark, Congratulations to you and members of Hit N Run for the awards you won. It was nice to see Pat win! Keep me in mind if we can give Alexandrias any more dates or date. As you can imagine he asks me every week (but I understand how busy H N R is). I'm sure we will see you over the Holidays (probably New Years Eve!) now that Jim doesn't get that smoking permit at Club Paradise. Char sends her best. Heres wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!! PS keep me in mind for a date at the DOCK. The stage will have a roof on it this summer (they don't move real fast!!)
Mike Rozniak

Mark - congrads to you and the members who won awards last nite. Well deserved. You guys sounded great. See you soon. 
Tim (eXit band)

Mark, you're an awesome performer! I'm sorry but there's no one that comes close vocally! You are really good at what you do. I haven't met anyone who has seen a show not become instant fans! You'll always be #1 to me!
Carol

We are interested in Hit n Run for a fundraiser for West Seneca. Let me know your schedule and rates.
Barb

Omg whadda show!!!! I don't think you've u coulda did it more PERFECTLY!!!!! Amazing! I'm so happy 4 u guys at the Buffalo Music Awards! Playing a mix of songs was very cool!!!! Sorry again about Lil Mike! C what I mean when when I say-could b here today & gone tmmr? Gotta appreciate what ya got-so glad I befriended some1 like u! You're very sweet! :) Thank-u!
IM

Hi Mr. Mark...I thought you might want to know that a big fan of your band has passed away....Mike Martin , the little guy in the wheelchair was a friend of mine and he used to talk about you guys all the time.
Paul Varga (Talas)

Mark,Thanks a lot for dedicating that song to Mike. I'm sure he was smiling and singing it right along with you. Thank you!!!!
Stan

Thanks for your kind words. I just wanted to make sure I was quoting accurate info. Thanks for your help. Have a nice Holiday.
Tim Pazda (Clarence Field Days)

-Maryanne

I hope you win, a lot of people that are not in bands vote as well you know, like me? Well if nothing else it will be a fun night out. I'm pretty sure that your "girls" will be out in full force to give you all the support you could ever need. Any how best of luck, I'm sure it wont be needed............... 
Lil

Hey Mark, Good luck tonight! I've been so busy that I have not had a chance to come out and see you guys. I have my winter break coming soon - so, I will make it a point to come see you. My daughter informed me that her dance studio is having a beer blast in Feb at Macaroons. I hope to see you before the holidays.
Andy

Thinking of attending the BMA's.....When do they start?
Dee

Brent

Hey Mark: I went to Mazak this week. Met someone who used to work with you here. I don't have his card with me right now. He sells used machines to South America. He said you left this company to be in a rock and roll band! 
Linda Lee

You are the best around! Have seen you many times and loved more each time. Mark, you are so cute and so friendly! What a talent! You are better than ever! Can't wait to see you again!
Cate

Dear Mark, I hope you get this message. Thank you very much for playing in the SOUTHTOWNS at Rhino's last night. That first set was excellent!!!!!! Unfortunately I'm the person that swatted your ass last night thinking that you were my friend. I hope you accept my apology, cause I was mortified when you weren't my friend. Keep on doing what you do best.
Colleen

Hi Mark! Been wondering if you'll be getting long sleeve T-shirts or sweatshirts
-Maryanne Dowdall

Hey, Mark! The fundraiser is scheduled to take place on Wed, Dec 5th at Desiderio's. I wanted to check with you to see if you wanted to play a tune or 2, maybe with McCarthyiszm, b/c I will advertise your name as well. I understand there are quite a few musicians/bands that jumped on board, so it should be a great time! I just want to make sure that you're advertised. After all, you're kind of famous around here!! Thanks!
Lisa Siwa

Mark, I missed the biggest night out Wednesday. I do not know if the Barbies told you but after last Friday at Alexandria's I had a mishap on that Saturday. I think you know there is no other place I would rather be than at HNR. 
Mike Martin

Thanks Mark, It was a blast! See you later!

Hit n Run - All of you are the hardest working, most talented musicians I have ever seen! You definitely earn your pay, your followers & your reputation.

I have been given your name as a great band for our event. We are a non-profit and are having our 5th Annual Corporate Ski Challenge on Friday, Feb 22,2008. It would be an early evening gig, 6-9:00pm. Could you contact me?
Christine Asztalos

Mark- I am writing on behalf of the College Alumni Relations office, and I am inquiring as to whether Hit n Run would be available to play a class reunion on Saturday, June 7th, 2008. The director is interested in
obtaining the band for about four hours and is also interested in more
information about prices. 
Ashley Smigelski

dude! You and the band! Fantablulous as always. :]
Aubrey

Love, Love, Love all of you. I have a great time everytime I hear you
play.

Lindsey

Mark - great show at Club Paradise Saturday night. You guys killed. Thanks for having me up to do a couple of songs. It was a good time and hearing Supertramp was very cool. Nice to catch up with you Kel and Mike, and to meet the rest of you guys. Rock on.
Tim... eXit!

Rita

Nice. I voter for you. You're awesome. Wish you continued success.
BIGJACK

Hi Mark, Thanks for letting me sit in with the band again on drums. I was coming from Colden and made it to CP at 1:57 and found out you were still playing. Wow! I've also discovered that Pat was leaving from Bobby Majec back in October. I was happy to have come out that night to wish Pat all the best for a nice retirement. Well, I'm a musician that know's it difficult to stop playing. It's in our blood! I'm sure he'll be wanting to play out again when he's ready too! I'm sure Taz will do a great job for the band. Can't wait to see him play! Jim Wynne say's Hello to you. Tell everyone in HitnRun Happy Thanksgiving!
Marty

Thanks for the add,great show!!
Leeann

You guys were great Saturday!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Brad Peace (Suckerpunch)

As I said before, you and the band are the best! My friend Cate and I come to see you often, mostly at Macaroon's. I heard there were some problems with the band a while back. If this is the result, you're
certainly better for it! You are so personable! And fun! It's obvious
you love what you do. Thank you for what you do, you hot little thing! lol. Again, you're the best.

I am having trouble getting to the site can u send me the link, I have trouble every year going to the site but I would love to vote for you all ....also a friend and I are having a debate.

It does not even give a street for it either just near pavement. Thanxs for your help if you can help me 
Colleen

Mark, I was riding around on my HARLEY Last Sunday doing "Heinousness on the Harley" Traffic Reports and I saw you walking up Soutwestern boulevard toward the game... Too much going on to yell to you but I just wanted you to know I woulda stopped to say HEY if I had the Chance. All the best man!
Carl Russo (97 Rock)

Rita

I have received some info from another band that is sending it to all your Myspace friends. Just wanted to let you know, in case you were not aware. That is lame, they probably need HNR¡¯s help getting them a crowd. LOL
KK

Mark, Sounds like you had an awesome time with Firehouse. Wish I could have been there to see you perform with them. Although having heard you belt out a song or two over the past years I'm not surprised. Congratulations. Job well done. Did you quit your day job yet?
Rick L

Are you playing on New Year's Eve and where if your are? Thanks¡¦¡¦¡¦
Diane 

Mark, I know you don¡¯t run the myspace account but wanted to say someone stole your friends list and is emailing them. Consider it a compliment that they need Hit n Run and your friends support to draw.
Tex

Hey Mark, Great show at Queen of Heaven as always. Hope to see you guys this weekend...Thanks....
Dave Ernst

Cindy 

Hay Mark! Just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I also meant what I said Thursday about Firehouse is good BUT I like your SOUND and HOW you get your fans INVOLVED! 
Willie

Mark, Had a good time Sat. night. I think the crowd would have stayed all night if you kept playing. I have some pictures but need to get them organized. 
Ken

Hey Mark, getting you this message a little late, but the beer tent tour this summer was GREAT! It made the summer. Met a lot of friends and the HNR performances were always excellent! By my count Janet & I hit up 12 of them. Enjoy the birthday this weekend and see you at QofH
Mark T

I wanted to get to your b-day celebration at Firehouse but we couldn't get there. I hope it was great! We are hearing such wonderful comments about the band from everyone who attended our wedding! Thank you again for making it so successful! 
Donna Z.

Hello, I am getting married next year on Saturday September 20. I am looking for some information about bands for my reception. Would you be able to send me some information? My questions are, Are you available on 9/20/08? What do you typically charge? Any information that you could give me would be great. Thanks so much!
Mindi F

Hay Mark, This is Willie, Pat Braymans' brothers friend. I would like to get Firehouse Tickets!!!! I missed you last week, TOO much work. 
William Easterling.

Hey Mark, Thank for letting me sitting in on drums to Cat Scratch Fever with HitnRun last Sat. night. It was fun playing with you guys. I'm just glad I stuck around!! Hopefully we can do it again another time! As for
the article (paper you had published), Wow! What great range these
microphones have! I'm pretty sure you'll be using them with the band. But it sounds like you already are doing that right now. Incredible what these devices can do!! 
Marty Raymondo

Friday night was a blast (at Macaroons)! I need to fit HNR in my schedule more. The new songs sounded great. Oh, and BTW... EVERYONE loves Barry - I'm just the only one who can admit it!! I really think BM would be a fabulous addition to the play list. LOL! It's all good.

JOHN K 1ST ASST.CHIEF FIRE CO.

Mark, You have always impressed me with your talents as a musician. You have a gift that not many people have. The fact that you share that with so many people is amazing. You get to touch peoples lives without even knowing them. (You've touched mine, that's for sure). :-) !That fact alone is a wonderful thing. In the crazy world we live in today, few of us are lucky enough to have an impact on the lives of those around us. Thank you for sharing the newsletter below and the paper that you wrote. It didn't surprise me at all, to see that you have so much to offer, both in the world of music, and in the world around us everyday. Thanks for being you, and for sharing your talents with us.
Jennifer R

HI mark, Dave DeFields from Doyle 2 i was wondering when u are going to start booking for 2008 We are looking too have the spring dance again for the fire hall hope to hear form u soon

Dave T (Seneca Hose)

Mark, Way to go, Congrats on getting (your microphone paper) published, it's always nice to be recognized for talent!!!
Joe Tall

Hey ya all, I won the two tickets and the limo ride....how is that gonna work??? we ride with you?? whats the scoop?? The certificate dosen't say anything but picked up to and from....More input pleaseeeeeee ;)
(((hugs)))

Hi Mark. That was an impressive article. Congratulations on having your work published for all to view. That must be a rewarding feeling. I'm a financial guy, but now I at least know about sound measurement in Pascals! I hope all is well with you. Please say "hi" to Colleen Collins for me.
Jim S

Scott was talking to a friend of his about the game we went to in Cleveland. His friend tells him about some guy that bowls on the same league as his father also went to that same game. What's his name? It's none other than Mark from Hit n Run. My son says no sh-t. He went with us. Small world. Although you don't get out much, do you.
Rick

Excellent Mark! Great job man! Now I know who to talk to when I build the new studio!
Larry D

Nice Mark, congrats. Hey I saw you on cable about a week ago...... Wow!
Jim B

HI< Where do you get tickets to the Queen of Heaven Fall dance for Nov. 3rd. How much are they and what's included ( open bar) ???
Laurie A

Hi there! My name is Barb and I do the booking for the summer concert series at a Park. I saw your band in the beer tent at Old Home Days this year, and wanted to look into the possibility of booking the band in 2008. Our performances run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. 
Barb

Hey Mark, just touching bases with you guys about Queen of Heavens Fall Bash. Tickets are already going fast, but are still available. Let me know if you need any tables. Rumors has it that it's someone birthday that nite. I guess we will have to make this a HUGE PARTY!! HA HA Talk to you soon, KEEP ROCKIN.
Terry & Judy Queen of Heaven Carnival

Mandy

Hello. Wanted to touch base with you in regards to possibly playing at our reception. First, are you available to play next October 4, 2008? If so I'd like to come out and see you all play ( maybe next week at Club Paradise ). Also, how much do you charge for 5 hours of music? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks
Jill

AWESOME SHOW LAST WEEK...LOOKING FOR A REPEAT PERFORMANCE TONIGHT!!!!!! THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY
Mary Kay

Just wanted to drop a quick line to say thanks again for having me up to sit in at Desiderio's on Friday. Haven't played a show since April and it kinda scratched the itch. That was the first time I've seen the band with the new line up, it sounds really good. Take care and keep rockin'.
Michael

Hello. I am on the Entertainment Committee for the NYSFAAA. We are holding our state conference in Buffalo at the Adam's Mark October 21-24, 2008. We are looking for a band to play on one of the nights. Since I am one of the only people on the committee from Buffalo, I have suggested several area bands that I think may suit the evening and who I find to be extremely entertaining (needless to say I have been to MANY of your shows)! I was wondering if there is any information that you can forward me regarding approximate cost, etc. The other people on the committee are going to be making a trip up here in the upcoming months to go and watch Hit-n-Run play at a local establishment. We are trying to come up with a projected budget for our entertainment and any cost information that you can provide about your band would be appreciated. I think that Hit-N-Run would be a big hit with the people attending the conference! 
Stephanie

Hello! I am writing to inquire if your band plays at weddings. I am getting married on July 5th, 2008 and heard your band play at the Williamsville Old Home Days. If you are available, could you provide me with a ballpark figure? Thanks for your help,
Kristina

Mark, (sorry you cant do the Dyngas Party) I totally understand, but it never hurts to ask! We would have loved to have you play! I told Ray I already talked you about the dates! Talk to you soon....and thanks for always being so nice to me & Ray. I'm really glad we met Hit n Run.
Jackie

THANK YOU!!! The party is only as good as the band! And we had an AWESOME party!! I can't thank you enough for making it all work for us! You're the best. See you soon. Thinking on making this an annual party at our place. Keep in touch with your schedule.
Donna

HI MARK, THAT IS GREAT NEWS I WILL PUT THE WORD OUT THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMING BACK FOR THE MOOG BASH. WE ALSO WE HAVE 2 TABLES THIS YEAR FOR THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN DANCE AND I HEAR IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY ALSO, WHAT A CELEBRATION THAT IS GOING TO BE. SEE YOU SOON 
GAIL

Mark...can you send me the dates when you are playing at Macaroons? All the ones you know. I talked to Bill, and we would be nuts not to do a fundraiser with Hit n Run there. AND...the parents were RESOUNDINGLY in favor of this. (shocked). I did forget to ask Bill for Phil's number, so if you could get me that, I would appreciate it. Thanks,
Shawn

Hello! I have a request about booking! My dghtr attends Mary Queen OF Angles & I just came from a sports meeting. All fund raising ideas had 2 do with the kids. SO, I suggested an adult night fund raiser & TOTALLY recommended You guys 2 do it! They sound all for it, they were like impressed about an ADULT night =) They want to gather pricing. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rita !

Hi!! Thanks for the great time on Sat. night at Macaroons. We are always looking for fundraising ideas, and Bill & Dixie seemed to have really picked a great one! We see you at Lawn Fetes, as well, and really enjoy the entertainment, mostly because you guys really seem to enjoy doing what you do. Thanks again!!
Bob & Shelaine Ress Southtowns Stars Hockey parents (of 3 boys)

I hope you all had a good time last night, Dix and I certainly did. Phil was very happy and the bar did very well. I know when we left around 2:30 there were still some hockey families and friends having a good time there. He tried to get to as many requests as possible and thanks everyone for supporting the band. I just wanted to thank everyone once again personally for all your efforts. Some of you definitely went all out to make this successful and I appreciate the help, support and everything you did. Hockey moms definitely rock!!! Mark also put it in his weekly email to his following and many of them came out to support us as I knew a few of them from Mark. Thank him when you see him out or email him/ message him. He commands a lot of attention in the area and gets tons of these requests but always gives us priority treatment. They are #1 in WNY and can pick there spots so it is good he is a friend of ours and the (Hockey) Stars. Let him know we appreciate it.
Bill Andrews

No way, no such thing as too crowded! The more the merrier! See ya friday!
