Hello,
I am the Secretary for the Fire Department and we are interested
in
booking your band for an event in August of 2008. Currently
we are looking
at August 16th for four hours (probably 7-11 or 8-midnight)
if you
are still available that weekend. Please let me know if
you are available
and an estimate for the band to play for four hours. If
you
need
to contact me - please call my cell phone. Thanks,
Jannine
I'd
like to know if you would be interested in playing a job
on Monday, April
24, 2008. That is the day after Easter Sunday or better
known to us
Polish people as "Dyngus Day". I run a 2 day event at Pvt.
Leonard Post
but after my dance. My friends owns Polish Villa II on Harlem
Rd in Cheektowaga
and I am trying to get a band for him to play from maybe
10 -2
am or 11 - 3 am. Any interest? Let me know..... Don't forget
about
my
July dates!!!!
Jackie
Hi
Mark: The Q of H dance on Nov 3rd (your birthday) is fast
approaching and
Terry & I have begun preparations. Attached is a flyer
for the
dance.
Whatever advertising the band could do would be very much
appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing you in November.
Mike

Just
wanted to let you know, you played all great songs Friday
night!! A
couple different ones thrown in there! Keep your hands to
yourself -
great
song!
Chris
mark,
we talked the other night in the hall way and i was wondering
if you
had a group picture that you gave out to people because
its my girlfreinds
birthday coming soon next month and she would be thrilled
to have
a picture of all you guys she has been following you for
years long before
i met her, and thats all i every heard of was hit and run
i must go
and hear when they r playing, well she was right you r the
best
group.
and we followed you all over the summer of 2007 it was great.
thanks
for all the great music and friendship you have to offer
every
where
u go.
gary
i
went to mac's after your show on sat for a lil while. Saw
50/50~ missed
the journey set though. the band is good. good tunes. decent
crowd.
nowhere near as packed as you guys on friday. no real competition
for
hnr...at all. but then again, who could compete?!
Bud
Hi
I am just interested to find in time will you and you band
play more country
song because of so many people are likening that kind of
music now.
i think it would bring more of a crowd following you not
that you
don't
have enough because everyone in your group is great.
Cathy
You're
the best ever!!
J
Schmid
Hi
Mark, Thanks for letting me sing You give Love a bad name!
It was a good
time seeing and hearing the band play! Kelly was very pleasant
to talk
to, and so was Ken! I think the anniversary of the present
line up
is
coming up? Well, I'll see you hopefully on Oct. 13th
Marty
I
got a friend request from PG a while ago - I denied them.
They were
definitely
trying to steal the friends...from your myspace account.
Other
bands don't have as good of a singer as hnr does. Some bands
got some
real bad singing...not like I could do any better but I'm
not on
stage.
; )

every single time we follow you guys -- you\ really psych
us up ....but add some new ones to for all the age brackets
that come to see the band........your a signature band but
step it up a bit too to make it more challenging and exciting...
MORE.................

open at this point---that would be july 19 2008 let me know
what you would charge for the 7 to midnight slot--5 hrs.
i will try but there are different things---tents, fireworks
ect--also weddings at church---kids
rides. would be able to let you know
for sure in the next few weeks but again let me know the
cost for that saturday---thanks again will be somewhere
in the crowd at barnabas and the canal

a FANTASTIC time! You guys are wonderful and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. Not sure if they remembered any of that the
next morning but guess I will find out on the 24th! (laughing)
Complete riot!
Lyssa
Hello,
I had the pleasure of listening to your band play last night
at the Erie County Fair and was amazed how great you sounded.
I have never heard of you before because my husband and
I are not party people, but I have an idea about having
a party (family reunion) and thought that you would be the
band I would want to play at the reunion, it wouldn't be
until next year, so if you could send me some information
about how much it cost to be blessed with your presents
I would appreciate it. Thanks again for the great music,
you ROCK!!!
Dena
Hit
& Run, We would like to book you for our Winterfest
Party on February 9, 07. We have approximately 300 employee's
who attend. Please contact me at for further information.
Kathleen E. Olear
Mark,AWESOME
JOB at Gateway Wednesday night! Hit n'Run is the only band
that drew that large a crowd all year. We talked to the
promoter and suggested that they not have an opening band
for you next year...just Hit n' Run all night.
Paul
Mark,
I thought you guys did a great job Wed night. You were in
fine voice and the band sounded terrific.
Joe Petock
I
filmed the Wednesday (last concert) series where the band
really played their heart out. I have about 3-4 songs on
video which I will be airing some of them on my tv show
called Sports & Entertainment. It is only on Time Warner
cable in the erie county suburbs and in the city of buffalo.
The schedule is on http://sportsandentertainmenttv.blogspot.com
Kudos to your music and good showmanship. I think the energy
put out by the whole band will be exemplified, but remember
it is a live concert and the sound may be slightly altered
to that. I am so happy that I was able to see the band play.
Judy
Hey
Mark, Another AWESOME show Sat. @ St Barnabas!!!! The little
guy was adorable!!!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!!!
Deb
Great
weekend at St Barnabas. Janet & I did the HNR double-header
and were there both nights from start to finish. Good time!
That young guy that opened Saturday night may take your
job. He's got some rhythm & moves. The women all loved
him too. Your son is a future rock n roller for sure
Mark T
BROKE
ANOTHER RECORD --- IN THE BEER TENT AT BARNABAS. YOU DID
IN TWO NIGHTS ALMOST WHAT WE DID IN THREE LAST YEAR. GREAT
JOB MARK.
KEN (St Barnabas Committee)
I'll
be looking forward to see you in my own back yard sunday
at clarence center which is very cool.
Chrissy

Hey

summer. Im 24 and since the first time we saw you guys at
Queen of Heaven my friends and I have seen you guys 5 times
this summer. You guys rock. Theres nothing like watching
Ken solo. He's amazing. At St. Barnabas i realized i going
to try to start playing guitar. All because of Ken. So this
is my question for Ken. What advice do you have for someone
starting out. And how old were you when you started. Huge
New Fan
Dan

Great
show at Barnabas on Fri. I was in town from Syracuse and
hadn't been to the Barnabas lawn fete in ? a couple decades.
Decided to walk over and have a beer and look around, didn't
think I'd stay long. Well, more than one beer and I stayed
long. Great talent and great connection with the crowd.
Thanks for a pleasant surprise.
Ed Stronski
Hello,
I have heard a lot about your band and are interested in
having you perform at our wedding. We wanted to know what
you charge for a wedding and if you are available July.
Thank you!
Peg
Hi
Mark, It's Marty Raymondo! I saw you last night at Mickey's
Rats. The band sounded really Great and very tight. It's
a fine lineup! Ken and Bob are very fine Guitar players.
Are they brothers by any chance? Of course, Pat is a very
solid drummer! He plays the songs the way it's suppose to
be played. By the way Jim Wynne says Hello to you! As for
everyone else, Bruce, Mike, & Kelly are very extremely
talented. I was amazed how fast you found these musicians!
The other musicians you had before are also talented too!
But it's a good thing you moved on! Take care and please
keep sending me newsletters on where HitnRun is playing!
Marty
Mark,
Bruce, Kelly, Ken, Mike, Pat, and Bob, we would like to
thank you for helping make our wedding night as perfect
as it could be. You guys were amazing, and we couldn't have
asked for anything else. You all know how to make a party
rock, and you all went above and beyond that, that night
Thanks for the dance, and for a great party! We love you
all, and will definitely see you soon.
Crystal and Chris Barnes
Heard
many great things about you all up here in the Great White
North. Aug 24th I will get to experience it all live. Looking
forward to it. Rock on.
