Grayson's Guestbook Messages

Can't believe another Tulane alum will be in Copenhagen!! Definitely going to try to make it to Mojo Blues Bar on Tuesday, May 6. I remember seeing you with the Houselevelers at Tips. Saw Love Song for Bobby Long and knew that had to be you. Awesome story and amazing music. Congrats and hope to see you at Mojo

Bon voyage, my friend! Knock 'em dead over there and come home safely. See ya in June....I hope.

We got a Black Dude and a White Woman running for President. Make it a Black Woman full up uh wisdom and she'll get my vote. Ha ha ha ha....

Grayson,
Saw ya'll at the Melbourne Arts Festival. Fantastic! I knew you guys were good but I didn't know you were that good. You blew me away!

Nobody asked me. I don't need to be asked to comment. I comment on lame sh*it, that's what the fu*ck that was.

Ah heh heh heh - got to hear the new record. Sounds great. I already forget what it's called. I think it's now called Vapor From The Wings. Or maybe it's Bend Over Delta (And Take It In The @$$). I think y'all are gonna really like this one. South Florida was awesome. I've gotta move there someday.

Looking forward to seeing you in Melborune

cajuns ,where ? they do play swamp pop , look it up, just not here and it's not rock & roll. it's ok you just didn't know what you were talking about . aaaaiiiieeee............. p.o.c.e.s.m.

Yea, that's right. And Aaron Neville sings through his nose. There are so many things that I dismiss, he and his brothers would be one of them. Does Aaron Neville still sport that big old mole on his face. That's a waste of a spot light. Were's the SH*T where's MR. GRAYSON F*F**KING CAPPS. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks for the Rockin @$$ show at Angler's on Sat. night. My whole body still hurts. I just can't be still once ya'll start playin. Had a funny conversation with some ladies outside Angler's that night. After you guys played Sock Monkey. They thought Tommy was singing "Side Nookie". Anyway...Safe travels and Enjoy! We'll see you when you get back home again. Peace & Love
P.S. I'm really hoping "Make me Smile" is on the new recording". I absolutely love that song.

Tommy=Who asked you? Love ya man! The whole reason I read this board is to see what you are b*i*t*ching about-Molly

Hi,

I just watched Long Song, for the music and the story, again for the umpteenth time--8 or 9 (and turned another friend onto it). I Thank you and your dad.

"New Orleans Cajun Rock-n-roll"???

CAJUN?????

Come on.

Oh, Love...please never, ever mention the Nevilles in the same space as The Wook. Ya gotta spend some time in post Katrina NOLA to truly get it. They'll be at Jazz Fest this year and I don't EVEN care. Grayson should be here, but whomever decides who makes the cut is more interested in pure commercialism than down-home heart-felt music. John Prine will be there...him I will see and worship! Rant over. Over and out...the Wench

Hello Grayson Capps and band ! I hope you will be able to visit Denmark; as soon as possible. I'ts a nice place to stay in the summertime. Come on ! I do like your lyrics and everything around them, even your voice and appearence
It is surely great music... just bring it along. What about Roskilde Festival next year 2009 ? Train(stage) in Århus(Town) or Amager Bio (stage) in Copenhagen ? After all you have my devotion and ears

Sorry I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday! Aww, geez, once you get past 40, you tend to forget stuff. Hope it was good. Miss you terribly

ops: When is your birthday Sweet Honey Pie? I didn't know. I'm sorry. Some Biggest Fan I am. Happy Birthday . It's a blessed day for sure. It should be a holiday that's what, printed on every calender. I bet this near worship stuff really erks you. I just don't know any other way to let you know how important you are. One person doing what they ought to be doing no matter what anyone else is doing. You are rare and beautiful. I've noticed your hair line which by some standards is not beautiful. But you make tall, lancky, hairy, Wookishness beautiful. You were marked for uniqueness and you turned it in to success . It can be turned into other things . Be safe and enjoy your time abroad. I'm reading about Fankie/F.Jasmine, Bernese SADIE Brown, and John Henry West. looking for the we of me. Time was made for slaves. We's all caught. That is why I got to stop writting now I'm caught, a slave. That and nobody wants to hear me ramble. G I love you. G I do. G I hope you love me too.

I recently had the opportunity to see the Neville Brothers in a very small and serioulsy cool venue. They had a multitude of instruments on stage, yes, even a piano, and changes of instruments all throughout the show. There were many more people performing than I had expected. Of course, every one waits anxiously for the lights to dim and shine down upon Aaron alone, who did, as expected and hoped for, amaze the crowd with that angelic voice alone with one simple instrument accompanying him and once again his voice, all alone, filled the theatre and gently hushed the crowd. But that is their thing. What made me think of you, of course, was the New Orleans Cajun Rock-n-roll, down and dirty gritty southerns sounds. They weren't in tuxes, P.O.C.E.S.M, nor were they playing elevator music. As does the famous Ballardere, but they were full of animation and spirit and the fun of having lasted for over 32 years on stage with crowds still going nuts. You'll be there too, Gray. Take Care of Yourself and keep up the Farming, if that is in fact true...good for the mind, body and soul to be in the fields all day. Risin' at sunshine to get in a full days work and tend to the crops. Gives a man time to think...and to write. Have you eaten a warm, sunshined filled, vine picked tomato yet, right out there in the field. Nothing better in this world. Nothin' more simple nor satisfying than planting a seed, watching it grow, tended to its needs, then piF**KING the vegetable to eat, sell or give away. We're gone from the south now and I suppose won't be in the mix any longer. But your music and memory will live on in the mind of a little boy, as his first "nano" show. He rocked with the Brothers too. Take Care Southern Man and Happy birthday. Love

Yeah, what they said, Happy Birthday, beautiful man!!!
Hope it was filled with love, peace and beauty.
See ya in June, love you,
Twynk

Hey Grayson, Just wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope your's is as good as mine was in Columbus a few weeks ago. From your "aries" friend in Columbus. Hope to catch you again soon!!!

Happy Birthday G

I think the 'more info later' thing means you'd better pay attention to your local paper etc...because with this fandangled instant thing ya never know what might be tomorrow's bend. Yer given a lead - now make the bobber bounce.

Can't wait to see you guys at Angler's on Saturday!
Where is the Earth Day event going to be... your calender only says "more info later". We want to make sure we get a good old fix of Grayson and the Stumpknockers since ya'll are goin away for so long. Hell.. it'll be June 'for we can see ya'll again.
Much Love and keep up the Rott-n-Roll!

I can't believe... I listen to your music since the "Stavin' Chain story", and I've never see you in live... Why ? Because I'm a little frenchy guy and there isn't any Grayson's gigs here !!!
When do you come in France ? I'm sure there are a lot of men and women like me who want to see you. We love your music and we want you here... Please...

I had a chance to hear the new record, really liking the use of the large band of stock musicians and orchestral arrangements, it's about time you wised up and got a real band , just like Lyle Lovett, you're going places now, before you know it you'll be played in elevators all over the world , just like Lyle. stumpknockers in black tie, awesome ! p.o.c.e.s.m.

My Man, going over seas. I'm proud of you, proud to know you. You are awesome, don't ever doubt it, not while you're out abroud not ever. I love you. I believe you've introduced me to the concept of there being a we of me. Is that akin to the lyric in Lorraines song? "Looking for the we of me."

Lookin' forward to your concert i Copenhagen, Denmark. April 6.
Keep on keepin' on...

Hey Murly...ever snorted gnats? They're better snorted. It happens. I think I snorted gnats and they made these clots in my lungs!

Thanks Grayson for allowing me to share your stage, to be an ingredient in the mix of your creative juices is a feeling that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thanks to The Stumpknockers for having faith in my ability to play. Don't' be surprise to see me in the crowd in Italy or TX.

The wind blew hard a while ago and now we just have gnats biting. Mississippi marsh gnats. Everywhere. Thank you Mississippi. It's wonderful. Boo on gnats. Eat 'em.

You have stupefied we with your stupendous performances and words. Your music is so much more than the sound. I would really like to know the meaning of some of these songs. We shall talk about them one day.

Hi...hope the Shed was as good as always. I wanted to be there, but just decided to rest instead having so recently cheated death for the second time. Just can't kill bad gr@$$ nor keep a good wench down! Did you feel my spirit? Ha! Miss ya Wook.

Here's another option for Jacqui from Australia, check out Louisiana Music Factory's online store, louisianamusicfactory.com they will not only have Grayson's current discs recorded as Grayson Capps but they should also have his releases from the band Stavin' Chain. And, the bonus to dealing with the Music Factory is that you are aiding a small New Orleans business.While your on that site buying Grayson's catalog browse other music, they have a very extensive collection of wonderful New Orleanian and Louisianian music. Thanks for your time. And, come visit us soon French Quarter Fest is around the corner and soon there after is the big one, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Love,
Twynkle Toes

Grayson, loved your music in A Love Song For Bobby Long. Like your Dad Ronnie, I also new Bobby Long. Your Dad and I were High School friends and use to run around in his old "GTO" the Goat and had some great times together. Iwas known as the Benedict Arnold of Brewton for Changing High Schools in 1964 to play ball at Neal and T.R.Miller. I was amazed when I saw your dad do the Screenplay in the Movie. Have Ronnie e-mail me at Ronov53@yahoo.com

Hey Grayson, love your music.
Peace & love,

Tilo from Germany

Even the best shop that was at WOMADELAIDE doesn't know of you. Can you tell me if you have suppliers in Australia thanks

The new record (tentatively called Evacuation Route or Lasagna Madness, I can never remember) is being worked on, tidied up so to say. Hint: the first Tuesday in August is a date to watch.

Welcome back admin. You were missed. I ventured out and visited other sites. I even set up a myspace account. I noticed that his myspace was being updated. I checked out alot of related profiles including yours admin. How pretty you are. Thank you GraysonCapps for the validation and inspiration you've given me personaly. I am refreshed and I hope you are too.

I am on the computer next to Laughin Rain in the McDowell Co. Public Library sharing the only pair of headphones we could find, both of us agree this is the best music we have EVER heard...or at least since Jimi Hendrix ...you know, back in the day. Keep on making the wonderful melodies you know you were born into it. Squal Eye aka Lyla (knows all sees all)

I have never been to New Orleans but your music in a Love Song For Bobby long made me feel I had been there many times. I think you are going to be the next Slice of bread baby!!! If you have any old CD's of your music laying around, throw it my way cause I'm PO FOLK and can't go out and buy any of your music. Oh man, please keep posting your great tunes here cause the Library closes in ten minutes. You Rock hard. Kellie Laughin' Rain

I just wanted to let you know that I think your music is awesome. After watching the movie "A Love Song for Bobbie Long" I had to buy the soundtrack and then I found "If You Knew My Mind" and I can not stop listening to it. Your songs tell a very vivid story of New Orleans. Keep up the great work and let's all rebuild New Orleans!
