HI MARK, I NOTICED YOU ARE DOING ST JOHN VIANNEY AGAIN BUT I SAW YOU WERE SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY INSTEAD OF SAT. IS THAT CORRECT??  IF I GET OUT IN TIME FROM WORK I WILL STOP BY FRIDAY NIGHT HOW LONG DO YOU PLAY THERE?? 
GAIL

Mark, I talked with Mike about the fundraiser and a price, and he said he didn't care, that I should get available dates with you and a price. So when you get a chance let me know what you have available and if you have prices yet. Great show last night! 
Denene 

Mark - your band is truly awesome with so much talent. Keep doing what ya do. Old Home Days - another night of fun & great music! Thanks to all of you. (missed Bobby though!) See you the 27th...
Maryanne

Lancaster would love to book your band for April 26, 2008. myself going in as chief have told a few people that we may have hit-n-run and the membership is excited to hear that we are going to start the year with a blast.
John Burke

Hello I am interested in booking the band next year around September. Do you have any available dates? It would be about 100 people.  And roughly how much would you charge me? Thank you,
Rachel Bajorek

We came to see you @ Old Home Days in Williamsville!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!  We were right up front rockin'!!!!  We'll be @ Ressurections Lawn Fete in Aug.  Looking forward to seeing you then!! KEEP ON ROCKIN"!!!!!!!!!!
Deb

Dear Mark, I am wondering what are you charging for private parties, such as wedding anniversary. Also have your prices gone up since you have become so famous around town. I need to start saving now for my 25th in which it is in 5 yrs. Plus how far in advance do you need to book. Thank you for your time. ps. I love your band keep up the great work.
Lorraine Stachelski

This week was a ton of fun and thanks again for letting me be a part of all this.
Kelly Wahl

Hello.  We just opened a new resturant.  We are booking bands for our 3000sq ft patio.  We would love the opportunity to have you play at our restaurant.  If you are interested please let me know your details including cost and availability.  Our first opening is Saturday July 14, 2007. Thank you so much,
Julie 

Mark, now that the dust has settled on carnival 2007 I can send out my thank yous. It starts with you guys and [girl]. Again another great show. The band was great. Mark had a good time with the band and topping it off with American Girl was just awesome for him!! With one more show this year in the fall, nov. 3rd I'm sure it will also be a sell out. Again thanks from everyone at Q of H and especially from Judy and I. See you all soon. KEEP ROCKIN.
Terry Goracke (Queen of Heaven Carnival 2007)

Hey Mark! Jim Pirinelli here...You guys sounded fantastic last night! I am playing at Canal Fest on Monday from 6:30 till 8pm in the food court area. Stop out if you can. 
Jim

GREAT SHOW!!! Had a great time at QOH
Mark Schreiber

Hi All Just wondering if you ever considered putting some Elton John into your song list ?Such as ...Crocodile Rock, Saturdays alright , Bitch is Back. These songs have the same energy you do and are fun for the crowd too. We have already seen your act twice this year and you sound great as ever. Thanks for the good times
Kim from West Seneca

YOU GUYS ROCK! Had you at my Doyle 2 Dance, saw you at OLC and Q of H. The BEST in WNY! Can't wait till the next beer tent stop!
Rogo

I finally got my Tour T-shirt!!!
Melissa

Is this (Mahoney) party open to anyone?  Or is it by invitation only? 
Tim

Hey Mark, great show last Saturday at Q of H.  Your band brought the party with them! Friday as you saw was a good crowd. But Saturday was just insane! Thanks for the anniversary plugs.
Mark Twardowski

Hi Mark, Are you guys scheduled into 2008, specifically in March? I am working on a party and wonder if you guys are available any of the first 3 Saturdays of March? Thanks
Michael

Just wanted to say that I have heard that you guys rock......lookin forward to seeing u perform......How would I go about getting a Hit N Run T-Shirt? Keep Rockin......
Nicki

Hi Mark, Quick question. I think Ray talked to you about playing again next year on July 3rd.  I'd like to know your availabilty for July 5th also.  Since it's a leap year and the 4th is on Friday, we were thinking of having you guys play Thursday and Saturday.  Let me know what you think. Thanks,
Jackie (Cheektowaga Park Committee)

Hi I just wanted to start by saying you and your band is excellent .I was wandering how i find out about a price for a wedding can you please email me and let me know 
thxs Cheryl

Forest Financial softball great Mark Valentino and his band are playing Old Home days in Williamsville this Thursday night from 6:30 - 11:00. Mark is not only a great ball player but an outstanding singer and musician.
bob

hey mark, just wondering if you can play for us the 22 of sept? or if you got any other dates you know of that might work for the benefit for our chiefs kids. I dont know if it would ok but i was thinking bout possibly setting up the lights for you guys for the seneca hose gigs for now on also.  no charge  just to give it more of a cluby feel
Dave

Mark, It was unbelievable.....Thank you, You and your group have again done yourselves proud. I Have attached some pictures for your enjoyment.  I look forward to seeing you in the future and certainly at Q  of  H.
Jerry W (Queen of Heaven Committee)

Mark, I was at the Queen of Heaven Carnival last night and I talked to you about the Barrelhead Reunion. I asked if you had ever been there but I realize you would have been a young boy at the time. :)   I just moved back to Buffalo and I love your band!! I'll be seeing you around. Hope you go to the Barrelhead Reunion!! Take care,
Gail

How munch do you cost to play at a party.
Jeff

My husband & I saw your band for the first time at the Queen of Heaven Lawn Fete on 07/07/07.  You totally ROCK!!!!  We look forward to seeing you play again in the very near future!!   Keep on Rockin'!!!!!!!
Debra

The screaming!  The shouting!  The sweaty bodies -- All over one another!! Queen of Heaven was another grand success. I had loads of fun!!!  A close second to great sex!!!  haha!!  Great time. 
A Fan

Nice mosh pit Saturday night.  You really like to stir em up don't you. You gave em what they wanted (Free Bird) and you picked up some new fans along the way. 
Rick L

Just a typical night out with Mark. It was a great time but too crowded Sat. night. Jill's boyfriend is afraid of crowds. We tried making our way over from the left side of the stage to the right but he had to turn back. And he's the football coach?
Ken K

Hey Mark, We were out at the lawn fete Saturday night but there was no way to get any where near you. You guys are unbelievable!!  As for Cheektowaga next year, I understand you usually do Lancaster on the 4th, if there is a change, we'd love to have you.  Right now I'm looking to book for the 3rd and 5th of July. I know you won't know till later in the year but keep me in mind for those dates. 
Jackie

Great show saturday, we had a really great time. You were looking pretty
good, but that's nothing new! Hope the rest of the weekend was good! :)
A female Friend

Hi Mark!!! Saturday was fun, thanks for the Bon Jovi and '69.
Chris

Mark, Great concert at Queen of Heaven this last Saturday. You all did a really great job, my girlfriend and I had a great time.
Lin

You guys were a big ray of sunshine & fun  for a rainy day. I'm a big fan now. Thanks for the tunes.
Mike D.

Hey Mark!!! Thanks for adding me even I'm sure you didn't know it was me!!! 
Kimmy

MARK, HIT AND RUN IS REALLY GREAT. EVERYTIME I LEAVE FROM WHERE YOUR AT I FEEL REFRESHED. HEARING YOU GUYS PLAY AND LETTING MY HAIR DOWN AND DANCIN IS GOOD MEDICINE. I HAVE A QUESTION. ARE YOU RELATED TO A MARK VALENTINO WHO BACK IN THE 60'S HAD A HIT WITH "PUSH & KICK" AND IN 1963 HAD A ALBUM? THANKS FOR THE MUSIC.
Patti

Hey Mark, Great job Tuesday night! You guys & Kelly really packed the place.  We have never had a crowd like that before.  Just wanted to say thanks and looking forward to July 3, 2008!!  Keep me posted about a day in June 2008 or whenever you would have an opening. See you soon at one of the lawn fetes....
Jackie Schmidd (Cheektowaga Town Park Committee)

Hi I was just wondering how much you guys coast to play three hours at a family party in the afternoon? Thank you very much.
Jill

Mark - I just wanted to tell you, once again, thank you, so much, for being so thoughtful & nice to my cousin, Mike!  I'm so impressed that you took the time from your hard working evening to step down to be so thoughtful & generous.  Did ya catch the big glowing smile on him?! 
Maryanne Dowdall

HIYA guys! Saw ya 3 times in the last week, still no voice left from singing & yelling with ya! Had a really good time from Alden, to Cheektowaga, to Lancaster. Bought the shirt too, just had too! Hey, gotta get those uptight Lancaster Admins to extent the beer tent to your stage for next year!! Like it's been everywhere else,  didn't like having to stand waaaay back just for a beer! A special note for Kenny, hasn't it been like 30 years Ive been seeing you? LOVE IT!!
Rife~

Great crowd (again) at Town Park!!  I saw some friends there who have never seen you guys before and they couldn't say enough about how good the show was. Toward the end we had to stand way in the back because the crowd was #1, too hard to pass, and #2, getting rowdy up front... Go figure!!!  haha!  We had fun though.
Bruce G

Hi guys! I try to see you play when ever I can..I will be attending tonight at the Queen of Heavan carnival. I was wondering how I could get some Hit n Run swag. I would love a tee shirt to show off my favorite band.
Carey

I talked with John and he said that you and I need to write down what you feel is fair.  We want this PCB show to be a yearly fun event.  When you have a minute, let's get together.  Ps I saw you on TV last night. Great job...right in tune!
Lea Sommer

I was at at town park and followed you to lancaster and will contuie following your band you are great
Caf

Bernie Nash

Mark, H&R did a nice job at the town party last night. Where can you get the 2007 Beer Tent Tour T-Shirts?  Neat idea
Scott Corrie

A guy I work with, asked if I was doing anything exciting for the weekend, I said yes: " being a groupie, going to see HNR!"  He said he  saw you guys at the Cheek. police ....  He liked you guys. I'm your new PR girl!  Only been following you for a little over a month but you guys are great, fun, hard working....
Mary D

Hey Mark, Alden was a good time, decided to go at the last minute, and of course never disappointed.  OLC was fun too Looking forward to Saturday at Q of H.  That's the first place we ever saw your bands, maybe 5 years ago.  So asking for a song dedication for Saturday, something like Whitesnake or Journey's Don't Stop.
Mark T

I gotta tell ya, the pint sized (Michael) Valentino is a real cutie!!!
Erin H

Please include me on your email list! Thanks!!
Bruce Rifenburg

I wanted to thank you for your e-mail the other day.  I thought it was a very nice thing to do and I was touched to be included. I'm always surprised at how nice and grateful you guys all are to your fans and each other.  You all go out of your way to show your appreciation to everyone.  I've never encountered that in any of the other bands. Secondly, I wanted to let you know that Julie is trying to call Rob Neubauer this morning.
Deb Noland (Channel 7)

Great pics from Phil's Graduation party!  We all had a great time and I even learned some cool new ways to throw a frisbee - thanks Mark!!  Hope to see you again real soon!

Just Me

Mark, Was just wondering how much you charge per hour. The cheerleaders are gonna try again this year to get new uniforms after last years golfing fiasco. Let me know if you get a chance. I know last year you said something about a  fundraiser at Macaroons with you guys playing. If you have any  info on that  let me know.
Denene

I am writing to inquire about your availability on either the 28th or 29th of September 2007.  I am looking to have the band play at a private function with approximately 200 people in attendence.   Please let me know if you have these dates available and if so what the cost would be. Thank you for your time. 
Anna Z

Hey guys it's Mary from Millgrove. Bob is getting a little concerned as to whether or not we are definitely booked for our installation dinner in Feb. of 2008. just let me know so he can worry about one less thing. Thanks,
Mary E.

Mark, What would you charge and are you available to play a Picnic in Elma in 2008?  It is the third Saturday in August.
Jim Serafin

HI MARK, WE ARE PLANNING TO CATCH YOU GUYS ON WED. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT WANT TO SEE YOUR BAND AND FRIENDS IN FROM ARIZONA THAT MIGHT ALSO BE COMING TO MEET US THERE. I WANT TO GET A SUMMERT-SHIRT WHILE I'M THERE WILL YOU HAVE ANY?? SEE YOU SOON. 
GAIL

Mark, Everything went great, we had over 1600 in attendance for the day and all my guys liked the band. It was a big improvement. I will get you the date for next years (Cheektowaga Policemans) Clam Bake as soon as I get it so you can book the date.  Thanks again, Hit and Run put on a great show!  See you at OLBS and the Mahoney's.
Dave Mossman

Andrea

Val k.

i was at ur show on 6/22 and id have to i had a blast...im 20 years old and i never heard any other band play the songs u played as good as u guys did...so good i had to write this...SIMPLY AWSOME!!!
Charles Polumbo

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the songs I was able to stay for at OLC. Zac was really into it though and he sang all the words to all the songs we were there for.  I want to go to the July 3rd show. I will DEFINATLY be at St. John Vianny. Peace out mah brothas and sista! Your Biggest Littlest Fan, 
Emily

Thanks so much for a great job Saturday night.  You guys are awesome! You definitely made the party.  Phil loved you guys and so did everyone else. Looking forward to July 3rd.
Jackie

Hi everyone! We wanted to thank you all for the great time we had listening and watching your performance last night @ OLC! We also wanted to thank you for the advice and input you gave to Roger. He ia a young musician from an area where local talent is almost nil, and accessability to any talent is limited. Also wanted to thank you for some of the blues you played, but would love to see Ken's rendition of "How Blue Can You Get" on your songlist. (hint-hint)Look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Bob and Joy Matson

I wonder who is in their band now. All I can say is "What the hell were they thinking (when they quit)". See you Sun. morning, it's going to be a beautiful day for golf.
Ken  Kol

Happy Monday!!  What a crowd on Friday.  I tried to make my way up to the front, but people were determined to keep their position in the audience... You should come out there one of these days... Spend some time on "The other side"... hahaha!!  You know this already, but I'll say it again, I really like coming to see HNR and have fun - Even if it's only for a few minutes.  Have a great afternoon!! 
A Female Fan

Your band packs every event they play at, you just told me how you guys and gal (cant forget Kelly)  broke another record. You have people that follow your band to the ends of the earth? I stopped reading the messages on your web site because every other one is telling you how hot or how wonderful or how sexy you are? You got it all, you have many, many woman every weekend fighting to be with you.  For many years you have worked very hard to build a good band. I just thought maybe it was a good idea to remind you 
Lilly

Hello,  I spoke with Mark at the Cheektowaga Police Clam bake on Thursday June 22, 2007.  Our Fire Company would like to book the band for a formal fire company installation dinner on Saturday January 12, 2007.  Mark has quoted me a price thanks.
Michael

Hey Mark, it's Kelly Mahoney I was just wondering what time you play until tonight.
Kelly

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to play live for the first time since July 2004. Had a great time and always happy to help out.
Taz

Mark, You and Hit n Run have a fan base like no other. You've got a built in audience.  They follow where ever you go.  It's good to be the KING.  Hey, I saw you yesterday cruising down George Urban.  I just turned the corner from Walden and caught the red corvette as I went by. See ya soon.
Rick L

i cant wait to hear you guys play during all the lawn fetes im going to! i havent seen/talked to you guys in forever! (by the way, your myspace is madd cool) 
Your Littlest Biggest Fan, Emily Russillo

Davie Boy , DT Mr. VP

Thank you so much for making my birthday so VERY special! It was so much fun celebrating it with Hit N Run and all of your fans! As normal, the music was awsome!!! I am so excited to finally have my Hit N Run shirts, so that was also a special treat of the night! Special thanks also to Liz and Dee (Lynne too) for not only celebrating my birthday with me but for being there for me and helping me through the last 16 months. Hit N Run has also helped me through this time with your great music and I look forward to seeing you each weekend this summer if possible! You are truly the best band around (locally and not locally!!) Thanks again .
Betty

You guys were awesome tonight!
Denene

Bruce- When are the dates when you are at the McKinley Park Inn ?  It was so good to see you..... 
Jill

Mark, my son is only 15 and he is a Hit n Run fan :) I will maybe (bring him to) Queen of Heaven?
Heather

hey! great job this w/e! saw sat show
Badger

I watched the Soprano's finale' last night. Was that Mark Valentino singing the last song? Hit N Run does Don't stop believin' better. But Journey does a pretty good imitation.
Ken K

Hi Mark, I have friends that want to come out and see you play this weekend. They are looking for a location. I know it's the Tonawanda CANIVAL but where is that?
Geri W

Oh Markie, We want you so bad. You are a hot tamale, you little spicy italian.  We love you! All your # 5's

103 The Edge

Mark, Myself and some of the guys from seneca hose and winchester will most probably be there on friday night. im trying to get these guys out to suport you guys and also just because we need to have some fun. I was also wondering if you had Sat Sept 22nd open .  We are looking to throw a benefit for the family of our chief. Let me know about that. thanks so much
Dave Terry 

Hi Mark!! We had a lot of fun Friday!! Thanks for your help with the bday and the shots!
Christa

Hey Mark, Thanks for adding me to the mailing list! I had a great time @ CP friday night. Thanks for helping to make my birthday awesome! I definitely paid for it the next day!  See you friday!
Erin

It was great to get out and see you guys last night. I'd love one of your  posters!  All of you look ab fantastic in the photo. I'd love to make the photo into a shirt.  It was really fun.  I love how you get the crowd involved,  when they were all on stage singing was fant.  You are amazing.  "If I ever"....get married again...you guys will def have to  be my band!  Can't wait to see you over the summer 
Aubrey

So cool to see my name on your schedule!! Did you send me back the contract? Hope all is well!  Counting down my days until October!  I can't wait! 
Donna Z.

Hi Guys! Had a great time at CP on friday. Hit N Run was awesome, as usual! Thanks for playing a few songs for my birthday!
Kathy & Paul Kline

Mark, I'll push my way to the front of the stage!! The Last time we were at a wedding upstairs at the McKinley Park Inn (Think it is Club Paradise down stairs!)!! Look forward to seeing you soon at The Cheektowaga Clam bake party
Kevin

Hey Mark, Its Brian from the freebird crew.  i was just wondering if you could give me some directions to NT carnival this weekend.  I am going to come on friday.  Thanks
Brain

Hey Mike---nice talking to you the other day.  Hope we can actually go through with playing the dice run and after party.  Seems like years since I've seen you perform.  Hello to Ken and Bob also.  Been a long time.
Dana from Bradford, PA

The North Tonawanda Carnival this weekend, Is that an open concert for families, or is it in a beer tent? Where is the carnival being held too?
Woz

So CP was crowded after all!!!  I wasn't worried.  I totally loved Hold on Loosely - I think that was my 1st time hearing it.   As always, it was a great time.  Can't wait for the outdoor fun!
A FAN 

I've got some decent shots of the Buffalo Zoo show that I will send you. We'll likely see you next Friday since you'll practically be right in our backyard! 
--mike

Melissa

Kathy M

Look forward to seeing you all soon!!!  See you at OLBS and Barnabas if not before, spending too much time at our plant in Florida!!! 
Kevin N Security for OLBS and Barnabas

Good Morning Mark! Please book us (OLBS Dance) for Nov 10th.  How much would you like for a down payment?  We have a Home School meeting Thursday, I can have a check for you on Friday.  Just let me know how much down and who to make it out to. Have a Great Day 
Kathy S

Hey Mark - is Hit and Run available 3/1/08 for a return MOOG engagement? Please let me know - thanks! WE'RE MAKING THE UNPRECEDENTED MOVE OF HAVING A REPEAT (WELL MAYBE WE DID IT ONCE BEFORE - BUT RARELY BACK TO BACK YEARS)
Judd S

IT IS NOT EASY TO FIND PRO LEVEL PLAYERS WITH GREAT MUSICIANS ETIQUETTE.... THIS IS THE  KEY......IN WHICH YOU HAVE SO OBVIOUSLY FOUND..... HOWEVER MARK I DONT THINK HIT AND RUN IS WESTERN NEW YORKS BEST COVER BAND.....NO I THINK YOU ARE  THE  BEST CLASSIC ROCK COVER BAND IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.,GOD  BLESS YOU MARK AND ALL YOUR BAND MATES! 
SAMMY SOLE-SABOTAGE

I wanted to check with you, I got a 18x24 stage, will a 20x20 tent be big enough?  One of our guys owns a party company and that is his largest size.  Let me know.  Also what size (watt) generator do you require? 
Dave M

Thanks for a great performance at the zoo on Saturday night!!  My e-mail inbox was full this morning with compliments, everyone was very impressed by the band.  We'll see you again at some point this summer, my boys in particular want to see another show (my oldest remarked "I can't believe how much Connor's dad sounds like Bon Scott!"). If we do this again next year we'll definitely give you a call.  I'd say next time we might start a little earlier and move the bar into the tent area.
Mike M

Hey Mark, That was the first time I was at a bar you were playing at. Jeez, I can see why you win singer of the year so often. That was awesome.  I'll have to drop by and crash some concerts with my good friends!  Take care, 
Kyle Boerner

Erin would like to be added to your weekly emails. Can you add her plz. Thanks.

Zig

We are finally ready to video tape your band (for our troops in the Middle east). I've looked at your schedule and we would like to come before you go on stage, on this saturday at Macaroons. We have the camera man. I'd like to talk to you to give you the run down of what we are looking for. I'll try to call later today. Looking forward to meeting you.
Marlene

Just checking to see if you are available for a private party on Saturday July 21st?
Ron

I am glad to see that with what happened to you and what happened to HNR about 2 years ago, that you pulled through even more successfully and that Hit and Run is going stronger than ever two years later.
Anna M

Hi Mark, I'm sure you are probably booked but a very good friend of mine is  having the second annual fund raiser for Angel Flight on Sept 15th and I was  wondering  if you are booked that day.  They were asking about bands and I brought up Hit-n-Run everyone was begging me to call you.  I didn't want to put you on the spot. You have come a long way since the Doby Royal days.
Darlene K

Mark -  If you can do the OLBS show in Nov that would be awesome! I think everyone at OLBS would appreciate that. Hit n Run is a fantastic band and everyone had a great time in January.  We know that you guys are a "hot" commodity and we are very grateful to be able to book your band for our fall dance if you are available! Thanks
Kathy

I saw you play at Macaroons recently and I would like to know what your rates are for a wedding reception. We don't have an exact date yet, but it will be some time mid summer. Please e-mail me back the info. thank you
Yasmin cardona

Mark, just dropping you guys a note. Hope everything is good with you guys. Things are already starting to be put together for the 2007 Queen of Heaven Carnival. Things are much better than the last time we talked, will call you soon with the details. Judy and I will be out see you all soon. Thanks again for everything, Hit & Run is still the Best.

GAIL

Hi Marky Mark cute face, I guess I wasn't paying attention, I didn't realize the fundraiser was for your softball team. Can I get a ticket at the door?
~Traci

A quick question.  You mentioned bring the family to the Southline Firehall on May 18th. Is this an adult only party, or are children welcome?  I have teenage daughters that love to see you guys, and usually  have to wait until summer. 
Dave

will tickets be sold at the door for your softball fundraiser? I have 6 people coming with me.
Kevin

Well the Sabres are in the next round I have 2 more weeks in this Desert (fighting the war) that's 108 Degrees yes that's HOT can't wait to see you guys play again and Final note GOOOOO Sabres see everyone soon God Bless America.

Good Morning Mark!

Want to see the best band in Buffalo? Hit n Run is playing at Desiderio's.
Ken K

HI--- MAY I ASK  A QUESTION.....WHAT FIRE HALL  IN CHEEKTOWAGA  ARE YOU PLAYING IN MAY. PLEASE ANSWER SOON THANKS
Rose C

We went to Macaroons Saturday night for one of the many stops we were going to be making for my sister's stagette (the one in RED).  We didn't know that you guys were going to be there, but once we got there - we never ended up leaving until we were burnt out!  Thanks for making the night a fun one!  We all had a blast, even though our feet were killing us from jumping up and down!  I first heard of you guys last summer at the local carnivals with my husband.  My daughter was 2 at the time and loved dancing in front of the band.  Every time we see you sing we say how much fun we had & what a great band you are. We look forward to seeing you this summer again. Happy 17th Anniversary!!
M. Hines Lancaster, NY

HEY MARK, THE SUMMER IS NEAR??? ANYWAY ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BE PLAYING AT DESI'S SOUTH I SEE THEY REALLY PUT A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY IN THE PLACE. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. 
GAIL

I just want to say that I was at Macaroon's last night for your show (I was the girl with the white sweater and jeans dancing allllllll night!) and it was the best show I have ever been to! I will definately watch your schedule and see you again. I'm sure to become one of your many avid fans. Where do I find Hit N Run gear? I would proudly wear a tank top or tee shirt!
Carey

Hey Mark!! It was a good time last weekend!!! You guys were great as usual.  hey, was wondering if you knew any Air Supply??
Christa

Great Job last night!  It was awesome to see you guys too. Band sounds great, and it was a blast seeing everyone again.  Happy Anniversary. 
Taz

What about adding Slide by the Goo's to your playlist??????
Dave Schmitt

Hi Mark, Thanks for the drinks & good time!!! as always!!! I like the new songs!
Laura W

Sounds like fun Sat night.  Hope to see you guys on Fri.  I have to check w/ my neighbor.  ttyl
 Crystal  :]

Donna

It was our pleasure to thank Hit N Run for the pleasure you give back to us each weekend with your awesome music. Kelly, Dee especially appreciated all the songs you were able to sing this weekend! She loves all the female vocalists you sing. We will see you Friday at Desidario's
Betty & Dee

I just wanted to say hello, I was browsing & found you. I have not seen this band in years. You were my favorite. I heard that you weren't together anymore. I don't know if that happened or if it's true, but I am sure glad your together. I use to work at players,barcade,chasers you know that place...lol I also gave out the music awards @ the fun house. I don't know who is in the band anymore. I do remember mark. That's good to know cause he is an amazing singer. if Hit-n-Run is there I half to go it's a must. Hope all is well-n-Hope to see you soon. 
Kimberlee

Hey mark. I'll be back next Tuesday. How have the last few shows been. Good crowds? Looks so by the photos. See you all soon. 
-AL-

Mark do you guys have any dates open for saturdays in november of this year for the Seneca Firehall??? Things went so awesome at our recent show, we want to do as queen of heaven does and do it twice a year if possible. Guys did awesome at our hall for doyle. See you guys fri and sat.
Dave Terry

I am interested in possibly booking hitnrun for our Fire Hall's 75th anniversary party being held July 12th or 19th. This is going to be a Huge outdoor party we are holding at our fire hall in Hamburg. Could you provide me some info. that I would need to take back to my committee please
Dave D

Hello, I am the secretary of a Fire Department in Cheektowaga, New York and we were looking for information on booking your band for a fundraiser sometime this year (end of summer or fall). What is the cost of booking the band? What do you have for availability in the late summer, early fall? Thanks,
Jannine H

Mark, It was a GREAT night and we did well for our league.  Everyone had nothing but compliments about the band and how blown away they were at how good you guys played at the Elks Club for our fundraiser.  Also, thank you for involving yourself in some of or activities for the evening.  Chinese auction, etc.  I'm glad we were able to get a band such as yourselves for this and we really look forward to doing it again in the future.  I'll stay in touch about next year. 
John Raab L/D Ponytails
 

Hi Mark, Looking forward to hearing from you and hoping the band can play our wedding Sunday, Oct 7th.  We just went to a Long Island wedding this weekend and know how important the band makes the party. Thanks again for your extra thought and consideration. 
Donna

hello mark this is john burke asst chief for the lancaster fire dept. as per our talk on the phone last week we want Hit N Run for our banquet to be held at the bowmansville fire dept on april 26 2008.
John B

I have to tell you, I was just so impressed with your guitar player. The last guy was very good, but I think the new guy is better,my opinion is worth very little but he is just awesome and I really enjoyed watching him. The other thing I want to say is Kelly was just outstanding as well, she gets better every time I see you. 
Ann K

you have sounded so damned good for the past few months! I have to admit, the band sounds better than ever.
Tom B

Mark, like I told you a long time ago. It will work itself out.  There was nothing for you to prove or do. We also said it before, musically, they can't touch you guys.  Cream rises to the top and crap dries up, turns to dust, and just blows away.  Pretty soon they will be opening for Kenny K. & His Garage Band Heroes.  Besides you know where we will find the girls. If we go to see the other guys, bring the dog chow (WOOF)!  See Ya.
Rick L

Hey Mark, Hope you are all well. I had my business card left on your desk by a woman who attends Dale Carnegie classes with me on Tues. evening.  She said she knew you so I asked her to give it to you. I will be out to see the band soon. 
Don C

Hi Mark, We would love to have Hit N Run perform for our special day. Thanks for your reply and your thoughtful consideration. The name of the place is the Avanti Mansion. 
Donna

I was wondering about ticket prices and where to get tickets for this Sat 4/21 at Seneca Hose Firehall?  My dad is a fireman there and he didn't really have any info for me.  There is a group of us that were looking into coming.  Enjoy your music.  Love hearing you guys at the summer lawn fetes! Thanks for any info you may have,
Jen

Dear Mark, So sorry to hear your are booked on the day we would like to have the band, but not surprised. I've been one of those faces you see in the audience. Thank you,
Marlene

What a wonderful time Friday! Anyway, thanks for the song. While browsing the Hit N Run My Space (Which is fabulous), I noticed that BARRY MANILOW is one of your friends!!!!! I thought I was the only one who admitted to being fond of Barry and never thought I’d see him on anyone else’s My Space, but mine. I knew it – You think BM Rocks… YES!!! One step closer LOL!
A FAN

Hi, I need the address of the Seneca Fire Hall in West Seneca. Their are 3 fire dept's in West Seneca. We want to come see you play! Thanks and Have a Nice Day!
Denise DiPalma

Hi Mark, Can you add me to your email list? I am Liz Spoonley's friend  Thanks, 
Betty George

Mark, I would like a XL short sleeve shirt I am definitely going to be at the show at the Lancaster Elks…. I don’t know exactly what colors you have but I guess black would be ok. Thanks,
Rich 

Not sure what I did with your email address… so I’m sorry if this is taking the long way to get to you… it’s been a long time, definitely. We’re coming to The Tubes show and can’t wait to see you! Take care… see you soon! 
Mary Ellen

Hey,Mike! I was pleasantly surprised to see your name on the Hit n' Run poster that I saw at Desiderio's a couple weeks back! I didn't know that you were in the band with the Wilcak brothers,and a female singer as well? I know the band has been around for years,but not with these players. Ken W.--Jambo @ After Dark! Bob W. with Actor @ Stage One! And of course-you with MirrorMirror. I'd like to get out and see the band sometime soon. It'd be great to see ya,man! Take care & rock on, 
Terry

Mark, Actually, YES indeed! We're putting up a stage similar to the big truss system they use at the Canal Fest and we will have a Pro Audio Sound and Lighting Professional. I'm told all the bands have to do is walk in and "Plug and Play" (unless you require any special "things"). As I said, I would really love to have you folks play. You are my personal favorite and I want all my car show compadre's to have the best. You folk's are the best! Please consider kickstarting our car show on Saturday the 11th. With all the marketing, advertising and lead time, we hope to not have hundreds, but thousands in attendance. We have other bands but their times of play are based on consideration of your schedule. Please let me know if you can swing it. Thanks.
Big Jack

Hi Mark: This is Mike, Terry's co-chair at Queen of Heaven. Hope that all is well with you and the band. My daughter Kristen is getting married next summer. She is very much interested in booking the band assuming that there are no conflicts with your schedule. I know that is a big "IF" given that the band plays the summer beer tent circuit. I believe that OLBS normally holds their lawn fete that same weekend.
Mike

I am from Lancaster and you guys are great I love coming to watch you guys just a great production all around every time I see you guys.  I was wondering how I can acquire a hit n run shirt.  I am on my work e-mail address right now if you need to contact me my number is XXX-XXXX
Thanks 
Rich D.

Mark, can I get a contract or estimate from you, I would like to get something in writing, the tickets are at the printer and I put the band on them. Thanks,
Dave (Cheektowaga Cops Clam Bake)

Mark, Right now I am sitting next to your twin. He is the splitting image of you from San Palo in Brazil. Had dinner at a sea side resort on the North Sea.Trip down was uneventful but long. No arrests yet, still 4 day s to go so there is still hope. I will take a picture with a Hit N Run shirt while in Eurico to post on the web site.
Ken K

mark, a friend of mine asked abour prices for your band for weddings, can you let me know prices for that  and your contact info  and ill fwd it all to her  thanks
Dave Terry

So me and Margo were downloading music for our road trip to Daytona Saturday, and we picked most of the songs you guys do, so we figured it would just be easier if you guys went with us and sang for us. Haha. See you guys Friday night! 
Denene

hi wheres the senaca firehall show located?
Andy

Hey Mark, Just found out my new band is opening for you guys at the Canal on 8/29. I know we have plenty of time, but I wanted to think about getting together on set lists. Write back, or I'll catch you at a gig.
Tom Schuh

Hi Mark, This is Big Jack (Sweatlands Friend) from the WNY Mustang Club and we're wondering if you guys would be able to play for us at our car show at the Summit Park Mall this coming August. We'd really like to have you folks play for the show. If there is anything we can work out, please contact us asap.... Thank for your consideration,
Big Jack

It appears to have worked.  Should see you there on Friday at Macaroons.
Rick

You could not keep me away, being the good friend that I am I on the other hand will be there come hell or high water. Mark" I will follow you through the gates of hell." That's a quote from Chrissy to Tony Soprano.

Hi Guys, I am writing to you to tell you of an upcoming gala event which will honor all military service called Buffalo/Niagara to Baghdad. The event will be a live USO type show with performances by the USO Troupe of Metropolitan NewYork, The Marine Corp. Band and other patriotic pageantry. The center piece will be a "Thank You for Serving" video that will be sending local greetings and flavors to our troops now serving around the world. We are expecting some 2,000 guests comprised of several hundred veterans, local police & firemen to be honored for having served our country with pride. Being that you are a very well known local band I thought you might want to participate in this event be it video, gala or both

Marlene Roll

Mark, The Dock has told me to approach Hit'N Run- asking the band to play 2 wednesdays and 2 weekend dates. I know you don't have them available, but if money could open up a date let me know. Rats has hinted about the same. I know you don't put buyers into bidding wars but Call me if you get a chance-would rather deal with this situation 1 on 1. 
Tom M (Starstruck Productions)

Mark, I was excited to receive your phone call and the possibility to have Hit N Run play at our wedding.  I live on Long Island and my finance lives in Buffalo.  We will be getting married in Buffalo and I will be moving. It's our idea to get married this summer somewhere outside and have the reception there too. We have loved your band throughout the 5 years we have been dating and decided several years ago that we wanted to have you play at our wedding.  We just got engaged this January and that's why the short notice. I will keep in touch and let you know what we found this weekend, in the mean time seriously let me know if you have any ideas for places and dates you'd all be available. Thank you in advance!! 
Donna 

I was hoping to book the band on Thurs. June 21st  3-8pm for 2000 people. Could someone please contact me at this email address or number. Thank you
Dave 

Hello, Can you tell me when you play at the Erie County Fair on Aug. 10th if this is something we have to get tickets for? Will you be playing in the grand stand? Fantastic.....We will see you then. A bunch of us will be there for my girlfriends bachelorette party!!  She loved you guys at the Moog Bash. Thanks,
Rachel

Finally!!!  I am going to the Pink Floyd show w/ the BPO at Kleinhan's on  Sat night and plan to see you guys afterwards at Mac's!!!!  I can't wait! 
Aubrey

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly about the benefit.  Although I'm disappointed, I understand.  I'm still a big fan!  Thank again, 
Lori

There is no better party then having HIT N RUN playing all your favorites and being with friends and family.

HI MARK, SORRY TO HEAR YOU WERE UNDER THE WEATHER. THAT IS REALLY HARD BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REALLY CALL IN SICK. THANKS AGAIN FOR MY SHIRT I LOVE IT.

Lisa

Hi! My name is Lori Gniewecki, I work with Renee Hager. She said to contact HitnRun for help. I am throwing a benefit for my 22 year old niece Krista Lesinski in Lancaster to help defer some of her tremendous medical costs. What I'm hoping for is to have an upbeat, great band such as Hit n Run to play and help us. We are expecting approximately 400 people. You can contact me at the above e-mail. Thank you for your time.
Lori Gniewecki

Hey Ken & Bob! Great to see you guys here. I hope I see you play next time to Bflo-- Do you guys play "hit & Run" (Talas)? Say hi to Buffalo for me. Your Friend, 
Billy Sheehan

Donna Z.

I am part of a group that is organizing a bike rally located in Gowanda, NY.  Which is about 45 minutes south of Buffalo.  I have heard you perform before and Sean from Certo Brothers recommended you.  I would like to book you for Sunday, June 3, from 3pm - 6pm.  We are raising funds through this event to restore a historic theater in our village. You can contact me at this email address or at (716) xxx-xxxx.  I look forward to possibly working with you.

Mark what can I say about saturday nite, you and the band sounded straight out awesome. With 450 plus(a record crowd), everyone had a great time. HNR and Q of H can still throw a great party. Mark wants to say thanks to you and the band, he had agreat time. Judy and I would also like to say thanks for everything HNR does for our Parish. With two more dates yet this year, carnival and fall dance this year will go out with a bang. KEEP ROCKIN!!
Mike, Terry and Judy (Queen of Heaven Carnival 07)

Hi everyone, Here's a pic from Friday night at Desiderio's you might like. The band sounds great and I like the new songs you are adding too. Keep up the good work. Can you add me to your mailing list? Thanks.
Jeff

Went with Bob Schiller Fri. night to Desiderio's you had a great crowd. Sat. was super as well. The place was packed, somewhere around 450 people and all the beer you could drink. I actually knew a bunch of people from the Buffalo News. Mark was gracious enough to mention them and that made their day. Even got to see Mark play the drums to Roadhouse Blues.
Kolniak

Marky Mark, You have quite a few blue cross blue shield fans!! These three cute ladies every week see me out and every week at work they come up to me and ask me if i'm going to see hnr this weekend and everytime i tell them yes i am. The crew is gearing up for some hnr action. 
Rick

I've encouraged the event coordinator for the East Aurora show to sign Hit N Run now for 2008s 3rd of July concert. She asked if you would give her a call, I've also directed her to your web-site. Her contact information is attached.
Mike Stanek

Hit n Run has always been great to me when I stop out and you have always been professional on and off the stage. No name calling or high school antics. I just want you to know some (not as nice) so called musicians are at it again, but I have your back. Look at it this way, if they were doing great they would never say anything bad about any of you or other bands, so take it as a compliment and call it jealousy. You perform to huge crowds every show and can play as much as you want. It is tough to be on top and have everyone gunning for you. If you want more information on it email me. By the way, are you still on for softball this summer?
Andy K

Do you book private parties?  If so, what is the fee and how many hours do you play? Thanks.
Patricia

hey mark! it's brian from the freeeeebird crew!!! i'll be at mac's tomorrow...just wanted to ask if you could play faithfully for my fiance? i love my meggy poo

Mark, Entercom wants to know if you would like to do an on air interview with one of the DJ's from the Lake about your band.  Let me know. I spoke to Rick Jeanerette this morning and he has agreed to be the official voice of the Take Back The Path 5k race.  Rick and I will be creating the commercials over the next week or so.

My best friend is getting married and they mentioned wanting Hit N Run to play, but they didn't know if you would consider it.  Let me know!! I can give you more details, but I figured I should ask first.  Thanks Mark!

Sgt Grumpy

Great show Sat. night. Bob enjoyed it as well. Had some older women chasing him. I told him "What happens at Queen of Heaven, stays at Queen of Heaven." I loved the opening with the keyboard and cymbals. You looked good on the drums. Thanks for the Buffalo News plug. A couple of the girls follow HitnRun. Betty was the girl I gave the t-shirt to last year at Queen of Heaven Lawn Fete. 
Ken K

Congrats to my co worker and friend Lauren, (the one who recently did our new poster. She came in yesterday and announced that she won the Rock Paper Scissors tournament at Frizzy's downtown this weekend!  She advances to the next round at Cole's and she can move on to Las Vegas then for $50,000 is that not insane?
Kelly

We have our table reserved for Saturday-do you have any "in" on getting us on the floor where you guys are? We are "upstairs", whatever that means. If  for some reason you CAN, the table is under Hoover. If not
no big deal. We will see you then!!!!!!!!!!! Stacey Hoover

Hi Guys, Chief Bob Eleczko and the rest of the firefighters at Millgrove Vol. Fire Hall would like to know if you are available Feb. 9,2008, for our Installation Dinner. Please contact Mary or Bob to let us know.Thanks

I am a member of the North Java Fire Department in North Java NY, in Wyoming County.  We are interested in hiring a band to perform at our Annual Picnic.  Could you provide us with a rate that you charge for such an event?  Sunday July 15th from 8-Midnight is the time we would need you.  The event is rain or shine but we have a covered gazibo for the band to set up under.   Contact me back through e-mail. Thank you,

What is your fee? It would be an outdoor event in the Arcade/Freedom area in NY with shelter provided.

Hitnrun   Awesome job at macs on friday.  Cant wait till you guys come into seneca hose on march 10th and rock our fire hall all night long. See you guys this weekend at QOH
Dave Terry  Vice Pres Seneca Hose

Thank you so much for coming to the hospital dude. You really made my day. Can you send me any picts form the previoud weekends that havent hit the website? I feel so alone here...(hahahaha)  I heard the moog party was amazing. Everyone left whats his name and came over to you guys. HITnRUN is amazing, no doubt in my mind people prefer you to most any other classic bands out there. 
-AL-

Mark, please hold that Nov. 3 for us. I think we can throw you a great birthday party. Tickets are going great for the dance, the floor is just about gone. If you need a table or tickets let me know.

Hey Hit N Run. It's your NUMBER ONE FAN Emily.  Yeah I just wanted to say hi.  I noticed in your guest book that there were some "wanna-be #1 HNR fans".  Well, just to let you know, I'M the ONLY TRUE HNR fan so yeah.  :) I was just making sure that that was clear.  Well, I can't wait to see you.

Hey Mark, Phil told me that the reason why Mac's was out of fluids Saturday was because of HNR Friday! THANKS!!  haha!!
Brian

"Had the opportunity see you guys over the weekend at a "rare club appearance" over at Macaroon's. Glad to see guys are back home where you belong. Phil will agree with that. You guys ROCK!"
Ken K

Mark I just wanted to tell you that was the best Free Bird yet.  I watched Kenny adjust his guitar 2 songs before Free Bird and I knew it was going to be good.  I remember your old lead guitar player (Dan) from when I first started coming to HNR before I knew Pam and the girls. Pam agreed that was the first time we think Kenny felt a little competition and it was just excellent to see all those guitars playing together. 
Mike Martin

You guys did a terrific job....would love to have you back and have already proposed it to MOOG. I'll let you know as soon as I have a date. As for sitting in - WHAT A BLAST! to have the opportunity to play at "11" to a room full of dancers was a special treat for me...especially w/ a great band, REALLY sounded awesome. Thanks for everything and keep in touch-
Judd

Could you possibly post this flyer for our fundraiser with Hit n Run on your web site when ever you feel that it should be put on there.  If you can't, it would be great if you can at least attach it to your e-mails.

Hey Mike...  Let me know when you need to see some cash for this event. Also, we're likely going to be meeting with the zoo sometime during the week on March 5th.  Do you and/or someone from the band want to come along to scope it out and see what type of equipment you would like us to rent for you etc.?  Let me know what would work schedule wise that week to meet.
Mike

Mark, You guys were great as usual at Macs. For my birthday you don't have to do American Pie..but you do have to do every Bon Jovi song possible please..hehe.  Born to be my Baby! :) Your band members are all so nice as i chatted with them briefly after the show.  It's nice how you acknowledge your fans/friends during the breaks!  Have a great week!
Christa

Phil had to make a beer run on Saturday because of the crowd that Hit n Run had Friday Night. I gave him SH-T about the Rare Club Appearance statement in the Gusto.
Jesse

My parents and I saw you last weekend and had a great time. I am interested in having you play for my wedding. I will be getting married on June 21, 2008. The reception will take place at Glen Oak. Please let me know if you have the date available and what the price would be. Thank you for your time. 
Nadine

HI Mark, Did you hear back from the band on available dates for Rats and Dock/Bay? I need to get them scheduled this week.
Tom (Starstruck Productions)

Hit N Run, I am organizing our 30th class reunion and we are interested in having you play. The date will most likely be at River Oaks on Grand Island . Could you please send me your rates and if you are available for that date. Thank you
Doug Hughes

Mark, Ryan from Wendelville.  I was able to get bands back for our Field Days in 2007. I would like for Hit n Run to join us and perform. I hope to here from you.
Ryan

Hey Mark, Its Brian from the freebird crew!!! I will be there tonight at macaroons.  See you later
Brian

Mark!!! I could use a little HNR action now!!  I cannot wait for this work week to end!!  You guys were awesome last weekend!!  That was the first time I heard Metallica and Creed!  Great songs!  See you Friday. 
CD

Hi there!  Two years ago at the Erie County fair my boyfriend and I saw you play.  We thought you were awesome and we remarked to ourselves that when we ever got married we would want you to play at our reception.  We'll we got engaged about 2 weeks ago and we are planning the wedding for this August.  What is your availability for Saturday 4, 11, 18 or 25?  Thanks for your time and response!
Donna Zappalla & Jimmy Sickau

I was just on your website - I'm really working hard over here! Your playing on my actual birthday this year in July!!!!!!!!!  Play American Pie - great song and never heard it b4!
Christa

Mark, I hope that I can get out soon to see you. Take care and Congratulations on all those awards that you and the gang got at the last awards.
Michelle YOUR #1 FAN

This is in regard to your friend taking pictures Friday night.  If I don't make the HNR web page, that would be just fine! I'm sure there may be a newbie to put on the web. LOL
Mary

Mark, You didn't tell me you were playing at the Moog bash - I'll be looking for you!
Gretchen Tobol

I am the catering sales manager at Rich’s Atrium and I recently received a call from Mr. LaForce for the above-referenced wedding. We would like you to make an appointment to come in and view the Atrium so we can see where the most equitable set up would be. Give me a call we would like to take care of this. Thank you
Gail Kendzior Catering Sales Manager

Mark, Got any dates for Rats yet?
Tom - Starstruck

Great show at Club Paradise. I am glad you did not cancel. We braved the weather and got treated to an awesome show by Hit n Run. I was surprised with the weather there was so many people there.
Larry

It was great to see Hit n Run back at the clubs after the private parties recently. Desiderios was jam packed, even though there was a white out.
Christine

Mark I'll take any saturdays I can get for Rats, they'd like one a month but I'm sure you probably don't have that many available. Additionally, if it helps me get more dates I'd use the band on any or all of these- Sunday May 28, Tuesday July 3, Sunday Sept 2, they are all dates where the next day is a holiday. Let me know what you can give me, I'd like to get at least some dates on the schedule right away and then if more become available later I will move some acts around to accommodate you if possible. Regards,
Tom McGill/Starstruck Productions

We are holding a corporate event at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool, NY on Friday, April 27 and are in the process of looking for entertainment and your band came highly recommended by a co-worker.  Do you travel to the Syracuse area and if so, what is the cost?
Michelle C. Conley

My fiance and I are getting married on Sept. 29th, 2007. I was wondering if  Hit n Run has that date available and what your rates are for a wedding reception? Thank you,
Carrie

Hey Mark - all systems go for the Moog party for 1500 people? Give me a call to make sure we're all set...thanks!
Judd

Please add my email to your weekly email list for shows.
Mario

Great to have you on deck for the 2007 Moog Bash. I am personally sick of the blues stuff they keep bringing in. I will make it quick, any chance you play music during your set breaks? As in, having a dj style thing going through a laptop ect. Issue we have seen in the past is during set breaks the room empty's, then the band starts back up after a set break and by the time the room fills, the band is either on another set break, or done for the night. 
Greg

HI Mark, I received your contract. I just was wondering if we could change the time from 7pm start on April 21, 2007, till 8pm start time this was asked of me by the people we are renting the hall from. Talk to u soon  sorry for the inconvenience.
Dave Terry

Mark, I have lawn fete meeting coming up---we are all set for 7-27 for a 4 hr show (we will probably extend for the extra 1/2 hr till midnight) ---hope to see you in february---we will be gone for a bit---definitely at queen of heaven dance.
Bernie (St John Vianney)

I am interested in getting a contract for a fundraiser.   Also, Joel Patterson says hello.  He is a friend and my Asst. Coach on my Tournament / Travel team.
JR

Mark: I have to send this contract along to the ceo of the Clarence Center organization for signatures however before I do that can you amend the line that says the show will start at 6 and commence at 10 to the show will start at 7 and end at 11pm.
Tim

Mark can you tell me who to contact for tickets for the Honeymoon suite show at Club Paradise. We also might want to get a room for the night.
Mary

WOW, Jennifer and I will see you this Friday at Desiderios.
Christa

Hey Marky Mark, I'm listening to a Bon Jovi  song and  thinking "ah, a Hit N Run song", and "God they do this song perfectly". I was at the gym, and a guy approached me because I was wearing my Hit N Run favorite t-shirt. He said he recently saw the band for the first time. He couldn't get over how much he loved the band. He was asking about the website, wanted to see more shows. He had some really nice things to say about how great you all sound and especially how nice and friendly you all are during the breaks. You really are and people appreciate that. I mean, you could see another band, but why?! You are all the best! Love ya,
Traci

Mark, just wanted to let ya all know we have been thinking about ya all and hopefully soon I will try to get out. Rock On
Sally Livergood

Mark and Hit N Run, Please find the attached pictures of me in Hawaii. Hawe'iwa is the surfing capital of the world so I thought you'd like that shot and the others are at the famed Bonzai "Pipeline" on Oahu's North Shore!  Enjoy!
Joe Berizzie

Thanks, Mark, for all you did to advertise Kevin's benefit this past Sunday. I guess you could tell it was quite a success.  It was a wonderful outpouring of love and support for a great guy. I heard you were there.  I really wanted to meet you face to face, but I was just a tad busy on my end.  Please extend my heartfelt thanks to all your readers for their support and generosity.  And again, thanks for all your help!
Cindy

Mark!!!  What's up with the private parties!!!  I MISS HIT N RUN!!!
Christa

Mark, Nice to see you and Hit n Run are doing better than ever!
Dianna

Mark, I am in charge of the Spring Fundraiser this year.  Last year we had Rob Lederman for entertainment and the league was thinking about doing the same thing this year.  That's when I stepped in and suggested doing something else this year.  Dennis Adolf, had recommended Hit n Run. The bottom line is that myself and the league representatives I talked to about this, Tony Marzulla, Kevin Peterson (League President) both of whom you know personally, all agreed that's the way we wanted to go. I tried to call you last night but was unable to reach you.  I hope you will be interested in helping us out because I think it will be a great night with about 400 people in attendance.  We look forward to hearing from you. 
John Raab 

Hey Mark, Happy New Year to all. Just dropping you a note, everything is ago for our WINTER BASH DANCE on March 3rd at Queen of Heaven, and of course the Carnival July 7th where we are expecting to break another
record with HNR. Judy and I will be out to see guys and our friends at OLBS friday nite. KEEP ROCKIN!!
Terry & Judy Goracke (Queen of Heaven Carnival 07)

I was outside having a small cigar when I over heard a guy talking to a friend on the phone saying that you guys were great. I mentioned all the awards. Thanks again for the intro to the guy from Queen of heaven, we talked for about 20 min. We will be going to their fund raiser in March.
Kol

Mark, Hope you and your family had a great holiday season! I'm putting in Rats dates already-he'd like a date a month may, june, july, aug, sept if possible. Additionally, we'll probably be starting on the Dock early next week and I'm sure they will also be interested in dates. Please give me a call or respond with whatever dates you may have available for both venues.
Regards, Tom (Starstruck Productions)

hey im a big fan of hit n run! i was wondering if you could tell me what you charge to play at a work christmas party for next year or just a private party?
thanks sgt grumpy

Hey guys.  I'm glad you guys are coming to OLBS Friday.  My wife & I will be there and I heard, at least 300 more people, not counting the ones that will pay at the door. I just was wondering if you are going to use the stage or be down with the crowd?  My opinion is that down with the crowd would be better, just because the stage is a little too high. I think you could better connect with the crowd being lower.  Whatever the arrangement,  I'm looking forward to this night as well as the free beer!!!  We seen you guys at Macaroons a few times and OLBS lawn fete. You really do a great job & always look like you're having a good time onstage.  I spoke with you at Macaroons about getting you down to Sleepy Hollow Campgrounds.  I'm gonna see if I could get enough interest to get you down there at least once this summer. 
John Piniewski

what a nice time we had on 12-31---we did  not stay to the end but thanks for  stopping  to say hello---we will catch you another time to buy you a drink---patti says we will be back there  next year  on 12=31 as she had a great time.  will have to figure on a driver or stay overnight.  i was concerned about out the possible road blocks even though we live  only about 5 miles away. best thing that has happened to hit n run  the last 18 months is the change  of members of your group---not sure how you did that--still trying to figure it out---EVERYTHING is better. some things happen for a reason. 
Bernie and Patti (St John Vianney Lawn Fete Chair)

mark i saw you put us on your calender  just saw one thing  can u mark it as Seneca Hose Fire company  with just seneca people often get us mistaked with east seneca fire co.   thanks  and also  did u send the contract out??

Hit n Run was great as usual on New Years.
Kathy

I wanted to say in a more personal note that last saturday night made me experience a Christmas that I have not had in a very long time. I am extremely, honored and proud to have you as my friends and as my family. Thank you so very much for everything you do for me. I am always here for all of you, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Life deals us all such a wide range of ups and downs, that sometimes we can not see the end of the tunnel. Having friends like you I can honestly say that I will never be in a tunnel again. 
AL

As always... I had an ass-kicking time Saturday - A little more than usual, actually!  (A few more shots than normal)  Luv coming out to see you guys - Can't wait for another fun year!!
A Fan

patti "informed" me this past sunday that she had decided against having people over on new years eve as she was orginally was planning----bottom line i guess is that we will be watching hit n run bring in the new year.  she said that she would rather watch hit n run rather than some old house party---if we catch you---it is our turn for a drink. noted that sjv is listed on the 2007 schedule for next year---we would like to have you for 2 nights but appreciate it for the 1 night. --i will see in january or february
Bernie (St John Vianney)

Dave DeFields

Hey Mark, I just wanted to drop a quick line to thank you and your friends for everything that you guys have done.

Christa

Hi Kelly,Mark and Kenny, I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and say  thanks for your kindness. It was great fun sitting in with such a bunch of  talented and professional musicians.  I
know you are playing on January 12th, because I know Scott Nichols. Somehow we were lucky enough to take your spot you originally had at Macaroons that night. I only wish you could come out to see us.  It will be our first time in there, and I hope we do well enough to get asked back. See you all soon!
Carolyn (Passionworks)

We will be hosting an adult hockey tournament & we're hoping to get some entertainment here on either of those days . Our facility is in Jamestown, I believe at some time in the past the band played at Shawbucks which is right next store.  I've seen your band many times in Buffalo, I think the music you play would be perfect for this crowd. Thank you
Robyn Whipple

Words could never say enough for all you have given us thru out the Year.You all deserve every Award you received! Congrat's in the Biggest Way! You are truly a Class Act! YOU ALL ROCK!
Jim,Sue and Staff Club Paradise

Hi Mark - just wanted to say thanks for the shirts for me and my friends. And thanks for a good time at Club Paradise, as always!
Kathy

We were wondering if you would ever play near the Rochester, NY area. We happened to see your performance at the 2005 fall festival in Clarence, NY. You were great!  There is a local party house that frequently has live bands - it is called the Bella Largo Party House. Thank you for your time.
Alice Palmer

Congrats on all the Music Award wins!
Stacey Hoover

Hi Mark, Do you guys know Love Bites??  It's a great song!
Christa

Mike Schill has been scamming you.  He has won a Buffalo area music award for his hard work in Dysfunktion and his part in our award for Best Group Vocals.  Of course he finally got one for playing bass, which is much deserved.  See the good news made it all the way to Atlanta already.  Congratulations boys and girl.    Wow, 7 for 7?  Guess the rates just went up huh?  Whatever happened to that other band? Tell Mike I will get him tickets to Talladega in the Spring and if any of the other Hit and Runners want to come on down and see how we do in the South I will hook you up to.  You can come up and jam with us on the Aaron's main stage for any of the 6 shows we will be doing.  Make sure you know the Southern national Anthem,...."Sweet Home Alabama."
Kevin VanValkenburgh

CONGRATS on all the music awards you received!! Hit n Run is the best classic rock band ever!! You give me something to look forward to every weekend!! You deserve every award in every category with such talented musicians!!! Can't wait till Sat!!

Kat

Mark, I was honored to accept your Buffalo Music Award for Best Male Vocalist, not just because you are one of my dearest friends, but because you are hands down the most talented singer is Western New York. I am VERY proud of you!  Mike (Scooter) It was great to watch your face as they called your name and I will never forget that moment. Thank you for naming me in your speech it meant a lot to me. Kelly, you hands down gave the best speech of the night...lol...you make me laugh. Bobby, Bruce & Pat....Sorry for the late night phone calls, but at least I was calling with good news - that you WON!  I am very proud and happy for all of you. To get 7 nominations and to walk away with all 7 awards is amazing. SWEEP!  I love all of you!
Leeza (St Johns Alden Committee)

Mark says thanks to, he really had agreat time with you guys. KEEP ROCKIN. I tried to leave you a message it wouldn't pick up. March 3rd is good for us for the Queen of Heaven Dance. Let me know. Call me if you need anything.
Terry and Judy

Congratulations Mark, Mike, Bob and the entire band on your recent wins at the BMA's last night! Most importantly you guys handled yourselves super classy with compliments and words of encouragement to other bands and musicians in each of your respective categories. I couldn't help but notice a drummer from another band wearing some crazy T-shirt about "HNR" on stage during their performance at the BMA's. Their pain, your gain for more "HNR" public exposure. Man when will it all just go away?
Pat Terry - Naughty Dawg Band

How do I get on the post card mailing list for Hit n Run?

I want to take a second out of my day to make sure that I have congratulated each one of you.  I am VERY proud of all that you have accomplished!!  These awards that you received last night are just a small amount of gratitude and admiration that ALL of us have for you. You all have such a professionalism about you when you are on stage, and off stage you are the friendliest group I have EVER had the privilege to know. I have believed in all of you since day one, and I am proud to call you friend. If ever there were 7 people who deserved this honor  I would definitely say it would be the members of HITNRUN!!!!  You guys truly rock the house. Love to you all;

Jeff 

Hi Mark.  We called and visited you when you performed at Queen of Heaven in regards to performing at our daughter's wedding reception, July 13. 2007 at Rich's Atrium, downtown Bufffalo.  At that time you said you would get back to us by the end of November with a reply as to whether we could book you for this important event.  We would like to know if you are available for this so we can go ahead with plans .You were going to check with the other members of your group and get back to us. Please e-mail or call.  We're hoping you have good news for us.  We loved your performance at Queen of Heaven and our daughter loved your band when she saw you downtown. Thanks, have a great day.
Pete LaForce

Brian Kwarta

Mark, Hit N Run put on a great show on Saturday at Macaroons.  Thinking about going to Des's if possible.  Did you get a chance to check with the band and see if you could play are wedding date of Sept. 1st 2007? Thanks for your time on this matter. Have a great time in Hawaii.
Jason Lupienski

Sounds great, Have a GREAT time in Hawaii!!
Jay Batt

Hey Mark. Great time @ QOH. I have a question for you......I have a group of people who want to reserve rooms for NYE @ Club Paradise.  I need 5 rooms.  I called there today and they said they only had 2 rooms with king beds and a Jacuzzi tub left, due to two weddings that night, which have blocked off a bunch of rooms.  Do you have any rooms blocked for HNR?  If so, can I reserve a few?
Gina

I'm the guy you spoke to at Queen of Heaven 2 Saturdays ago.  I was with my wife standing by the stairs to the stage talking to you about Jon BonJovi.  I also talked to you before at other gigs.  I just said I know ya (to Jason)...didn't claim to be a close friend.  You guys are awesome, I did mean that.  I also have a good friend (Mike Mancuso) that knows Ken & Bob. By the way, I play guitar too and write thats why I really appreciate a great band. P.S.  Your email at pcb.com, Is that PCB Piezotronics on Walden Ave by any chance?  If it is, say hi to a good friend of mine... Eric Bond.  I worked with him for years... He's a good dude.
John B

Another Hit n Run Fan. I didn't know that you knew John Bacher.  John was my first electrical lead at Tonawanda  when I came through the ranks at GM.  Small world.

Mark, Good Time like always, Yings is a little small of a place but you guys rocked anyways.  See you guys soon
Brian G

Hi, I have friends who live out of town and are interested in hiring music. She is celebrating her 25 Wedding Ann. and wants to either hire a band or a sound system. She's thinking July 2007. I told her about your band, but I have no clue what your availability is or what you charge. If you are within reason of her budget and available I know they would love the music. 
Paula

Thanks for the pics!!! Hit N Run was a lot of fun at Yings on Friday.
Natalie D (PCB)

Is Hit n Run available to play at our wedding on September 22, 2007? What are your standard fees? Thank you, 
Julie G and Nick R 

Dear Mike, I and the Sabres would appreciate if you did not attend any further home games in light of the only games they have lost are only when you attend. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Rick Martin (French Connection)

Hey Mark, i will talk to the gang to get their e-mail addresses for you. We will also be there on Friday to support the band.  If it is possible could you do me one favor and sing Faithfully, because to me you can sing that song better than Journey it self. thanks
Brian Gromek

WOW.. Hit n Run is unbelievable. I was totally caught of guard and amazed. Cant look at u the same anymore.. hehe.. So why are u working at Ingram again??
John Vulaj

Hey. I was at Club Paradise on Saturday and heard that you were playing there on New Years Eve! I am so excited. Are tickets going to be presale or at the door? And what time does the event start? Keep doing such a great job. I love to see your band! 
Jennifer 

Hi Mark - Could you please add me to the e-mail list? Thanks,
Debbie N

Hi Michael, we are interested in booking Hit n Run for a corporate function that will be help inside the Zoo. Can you provide the band rates and availability information? When they are pricing out tent rentals, I'll be sure that ask about a stage. My Mike is on the planning committee, so he'll be in touch with you. Thanks!
Michelle M

I wanted the shirt as a surprise so I would not be able to come out at night to get it plus my daughter is 3 and its hard to bring her out that late. If I pay for shipping can you mail it or is there another time I can meet you to pick it up. Thank you for asking you video engineer to contact me. I appreciate it. I am not sure if you remember us. My daughter is always the little girl in the front of the stage waiving to you and also wants a hug from you. 
Cathy K

11/14 HI MARK WE WILL DEFINETLY BE THERE Friday. I'M BRINGING SOME NEW FACES TO SEE YOUR BAND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT 
GAIL 

11/14 We want to buy some Hit n Run shirts. How do we go about getting them.
Mary

Absolutely NO FAIR! I don't know how to get a HNR shirt? I think Sammy (Sabotage) and I will be at Yings Fri nite to see the band. He's recovering from emergency surgery (appendix) last week and is ready to rock. Tell me how to get a shirt and I will love Hit n Run forever. Like Meatloaf.
Kathy K

HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME SATURDAY, IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE. I WAS KINDA TRASHED, SORRY IF I WAS OBNOXIOUS!! SEE YA NEXT SATURDAY!
Kathy

Hey guys, im interested in booking your band for my wedding in either late august or early sept. 07. Im just wondering if you are available and what your price would be. Ive seen you numerous times at club paradise and at a friends wedding if you could get back to me  i would greatly appreciate it.  thanks
Brian Kwarta

Did you get a chance to talk to your band and see if you guy's can play September 1st 2007? I will try and call you this week. This weekend was really busy trying to get other wedding stuff done. 
Jason

I met HitnRun at the Alden Fair in June for the first time. Things changed for me. I saw a band that to me is above the petty BS, is extremely professional and I absolutely love and adore. I love the music that Hit n Run is doing.
Big Al

HI I have  2 questions for you, First we come out and listen to you any chance we get. Our daughter loves you as you might already know. She is the 3 year that keeps waving to you and she is dancing. I was wondering how can I purchase a tee shirt for my husband. It would have to be XXL. He has always wanted one but we never got a chance to ask you when we are out to see you. Also the second question is that at the Barnabas lawn fete I seen video taping and also at Clarence Center at Labor Day. What was that for?? My daughter Katelyn was taped at both locations and wanted to know if they were for sale. I wanted to see it. At Barnabas the guy taped her when she was having her arms around Mike playing his guitar outside by the fence when he came to her and also at Clarence Center they got her dancing by herself and me holding her. I would have liked to see it and have it as a memory. She keeps calling you her boys and the pretty girl. It is so adorable. She knows words to your songs that we have had to download on disc so she still can here. Thanks for listening and can you please get back to me on how I can purchase a shirt. Thank you
CK

I like to see the best band in Buffalo this Fri. night and the day before Thanksgiving?(Both at Mac's) I think I can go out for a while anyway. How about getting together for breakfast Sun morning you, me, Lenny, Mark Mahony and Mark V ? I was thinking about 10:00 so Mark can get some sleep? Have a few laughs, throw some food around and be back in time for the football games.
Ken K

Hey this is Brian Gromek (part of the freebird crew).  My Girlfriend and I are planning our wedding for October 17, 2009.  We really want hit-n-run to play there.  If you could please give me some info on what needs to be done or if you could give me a call.  Thank you 
Brian Gromek

I will be going to see you guys on Friday November 17 at Yings...I need to drink again and enjoy the best band in Western New York.  I love the picture of me and you on the website. Well keep in touch...Love ya,
Alissa

Mark,Thanks for the reply. I'm not too worried about the money, we planned on just having a party and charging people money to come. I'm just gathering information so we know about how much we would need to charge and how many people we could get here. You guys do your thing (and very well) So it's all good.
Tim

Hey guys, your band is incredible!  I think it's very important that bands, who play classic rock, sound like the originals.  Your group does that and more! I see that you are being filmed. Are there future plans for a DVD?  I think that would be awesome idea. Take care and keep up the good work.
David 

The wedding is at Samuels Grand Manor.  PROBABLY need you guy's at dinner for cd music and announcements.  I guess one of my family friends works with you at PCB Mr Gonyea.  He has maybe spoken to you about my wedding.  He kind of gave Kim and I the idea of having Hit n Run.
Jason

I was wondering if you do fundraisers. I have a group of girl scouts and we are planning a trip. We are looking for bands for our fundraiser. I am hoping to hold the fundraiser at macaroons but am waiting to hear from them. If so what would you charge us? Any information you can provide me with would be helpful.
Kim G

Hi Mark, I was hoping you could change my email address for all the emails. Since Im no longer coaching in the district, im not sure how long I will have this account. The email address you could use attached. i hope all is well. My friends say you are putting on great shows. We will be out soon, money is just tight right now with the wedding coming up. Speaking of that, let me know how the schedule looks. talk to you soon.
Crystal Quick

Just a quick note before I hit the hay - I haven't been over to the web site in a bit, wow, I can't believe the guest comments, it's a love fest out there...I will say Jenna's wedding will remain for me a special event out of the many, many that I have played in my life.  You all made it happen and I know it took some restraint and top notch professionalism and I'm damn proud that we pulled it off. I really am having the time of my life, never thought I'd be playing w/ the level of talent that I'm w/ currently - but it's more than talent cause i've played w/ very talented people all my life - Its the committment from all of you that we will not rest until we get the lick, the vocal, the harmony, the sound JUST RIGHT and not settle for second best.  PS Mark thanks for all you continue to do behind the scenes - tee shirts, Web site, bookings, schmoozing, puking, etc...
Bruce Decker

I could not have said it better. I know I should tell everyone this more often....but I love singing professionally with a GREAT BUNCH of bo.....talented people, but more importantly...People that I would proudly call MYFRIENDS! This does not just go for the band, but also our Great friends...whom I thoroughly enjoy spending each and every weekend with! 
Mark Valentino

Kelly Wahl

Hi. My name is Tim and I am a good friend of Crystal Quick. I was looking to see what it would cost to have you guys play a possible party we might have. Not sure what the date would be but not for some time. Get back to me when you get a chance. Thanks 
Tim

Hey Mark,  Its your good friend Mike.  You know Bon Jovi, Its my life. I hope you enjoyed yourself and had a great birthday Friday night.  Also I hope you are feeling a lot better.  I used to party and do shots like that with the Barbie twins until I over did it back in January at Macs. Now I have to be more careful because I'm on my 3rd chance at life. Well, take care and I think we are all coming to Paradise this weekend to see you.
Mike

Mark, I do want to say, even in the shape you were in, you were an outstanding musician. You maintained, more then I have ever seen anyone else maintain in my life. Take care Mark, all I got to say is WELCOME TO
ROCK & ROLL!!!!!!! YEE-HA!!

Zack

My name is Meg and I am getting married this summer, July 13, 2007.  My fiance and I have heard absolutely wonderful things about your band and being the huge music fans as we are we were interested in having you perform on our special day.  I wanted to know how much you charge for a wedding and if you were available to play. I appreciate a response thank you very much! I can be reached at this e mail address 
Meg

Hey there - not sure if this is going to Mark or whomever...Judd Sunshine here - inquiring about 2/10/07 - for a private party - are you available? if so what do you charge? Please let me know ASAP....thanks!
Judd S

Please call Ray from the Cheektowaga town park. He said you have not confirmed with him yet about booking Hit n Run for Wed, the 4th of July show in Cheektowaga.
Jackie

Hey Mark. Unbelievable Macaroons night! 2 - 2 hour sets PLUS!!  I was blown away by Kenny's lead at the end of the night. I am so happy I got that on tape. That is going to be amazing. Mark, you guys are top notch, Im serious. This is not some drunken end of night "you rocked my world" vocal spewing. Take care. 
Zo Wille

I have been to the last two hit and run shows at Macaroons. These have been probably the two biggest crowds that I have ever seen there, and I go there weekly. I tell all my friends to come and see you and how much fun we have at your shows.
Fred

Mark - we  wished you a happy bday on the air. I would love to come to your show tonight, but I will be in Rochester. Happy birthday!
Chris Klein (97 Rock)

Hey......good luck in the awards!
