- Dear, Dear, Dear Tinkers,
- I just HAVE to write and tell you all again, what a Fantastic, Bombastic
- weekend we had, at the Celtic Faire in Calaveras! And to have been able to
- catch you playing 5 shows in one weekend, (6, if you count the tune you
- played with the blacksmith! What a priceless rendition that was! I wish I
- could have gotten it on video tape, but we did manage to get a photo. ) the
- whole event was great, but you three were the Greatest!
- You are the most awesome power trio since Jimi Hendrix Experience! I
- went home feeling so euphoric that I will be up for days! I feel like
- Cinderella after the Ball, and I even got to take the Prince home with me,
- instead of waiting for him to chase me around with some damn shoe! Thank
- you again, for your part in making a great weekend, FANTASTIC. We would not
- even had gone that weekend at all if we had not known that you would be
- playing there. What a pleasure!
- Did you any of you ever think about how much joy and pleasure that you
- spread around, wherever you go? Do you realize that this practicaly makes
- you all Saints, no matter HOW WICKED YOU MAY BE? Just don't stop. I know
- I'm not alone in saying I LOVE IT!
- Hope to see you'all again soon, till then: "Rock On!"
- Best Wishes from Marybeth & Billy,

- Hey!
- Just wanted to drop you a line, and say that I was very impressed with
- your performance at the Caleveras Celtic Faire. I bought one of ye
- tapes, and would have bought the CD, except that I had to save money for
- food. (They charge an arm and a leg for food, didn't advertise the
- parking cost, and discontinued the student price after advertising it on
- the net. Since I am a impoverished student... I was hatin it.) I all
- but forgot about the transgressions at the gate, however, when I found
- out that you guys were performing, and rushed to find a seat. We (my
- fiancee and I) opted for the pit,however, instead of the chairs. (all in
- good lower-class tradition) My fiancee's son (the little 4yo in the
- blackwatch tartan at the noon show) loved your playing so much he got up
- and twirled around all over in front of the stage, much to the amusement
- of your audience (ye might have noticed?) Anyway, I just wanted to let
- ya'all know that I loved your show, and would buy all sorts of Tinker
- stuff if I could afford it.
ye got me hooked,
- -Tim Simpson
PS: I am curious as to just how much it costs to book the Tinkers for a
- gig

- Had a wonderful time at the Calaveras Celtic Fair. Can one have a bad time?
- This was our third year and we plan on going back. We enjoyed your music very
- much. We did think of another group (not Celtic) that we like very much
- called the Edlos. Their theory is "Loud Is Good", which is the name of one of
- their albums. We hope to catch you at a concert soon. Will you be going back
- to the Calaveras Celtic Fair? Also will you open for Men of Worth (another of
- our favorite groups).

Hello Aaron,
- I'm sorry that I did not get a chance to talk to you, however I did get my hands
- on the Wicked Tinkers CD. I finally removed my aging BrOtHeR CD from the player
- and replaced it with the WT's. This is the type of music I have been searching
- for, just drums and pipes (and an occasional didgeridoo).
- As of this date you are the most awesome piper I have had the pleasure of
- listening to (and that's no shit) and I have finally solved the mystery of who
- was piping for Forest for the Trees. At age 40, I have just started learning how
- to play the pipes and trying to organize a bagpipe band for our fire department
- in Orange County. (unfortunately we have had to play two funerals in recent
- months). Anyway, I admire your unique style of playing (perfection with
- feeling?) , something that I would like to add to my playing ability but I don't
- have 20 years to learn. So how about some lessons???
- My wife and I are looking forward to the Wicked Tinkers next gig at the Farmers
- Market in December, see you there....

- Hi!
- I was wondering if you ever play in Portland or Seattle. I saw
- you in San Francisco and am on your mailing list, but I live in Seattle
- and would love to see you play again. So, if Seattle or Portland are in
- your schedule for the near future, please let me know so that I can come
- watch. You guys are the best! Thank you.

- Hello,
- Just wanted to say you guys are great, my wife and I saw you at the Age of
- Chivalry Renaissance & Celtic Festival in Las Vegas. We stayed for the
- concert and you guys were by far the best band on the stage that night. We
- purchased your new CD and the "Banned" tape, the tape obviously for "The
- Bonny Black Hare". I still can't believe they made you take it off the CD. I
- hope you guys come back next year.
- Peace,
- Pat McQuarrie
- I've just about worn out the new CD since Sunday. I'm driving everybody at
- work crazy with Pumkin's Fancy!!! Do you guys have a cassette of the new
- CD, or is one planned? I got Warren's e-mail about the schedule. It looks
- great - wish we could be in Chino this weekend.
- I noticed your website was designed by Warren. It's really good. Do you guys
- have a permanent WebMaster? If not, I'd love to volunteer. I'd be pleased to
- do any updates etc for you guys - It's my job here, but I enjoy playing
- around with sites in my "free" time, and I'd be glad to help in any way I
- can - again, I mean voluntarily!
- Let me know, and have a great time in Chino.

- I wondering...you told us to love our pumpkins, but then encouraged the
- gouging out of eyes, and even scooping out their innards for
- jack-o-laterns! Wouldn't that be considered abuse in the extreme?

- know. Just wish I could've caught you at the House O Blues w/ the Dubliners,
- but you are worthy of headline status. Sounds like it was awesome. Keep up
- the goodworks, lads and tinker away, wicked as you wanna be! ( God Bless
- you, and may the force be with you!)

Hi Warren -- Just wanted to wish you guys a successful gig tonight. I listened to Brutal all the way to work today (put me in the mood to celebrate the green). Tell Linda, Jim, Wendy and John hello for me.(I'm keeping this short because I don't want to abuse company tools.)
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I just wanted to let you know that a couple of my friends in LA, told me that your liveshow kicked ass. I hope I get the chance to find out for myself. I was wondering if you had any plans on a national tour or of coming to St.Louis in the near future ? I hope you are not offended, but I would also like to make a request for your autograph if I may, so I can add it to my collection.
