| Hi there Sam, nice site and love the berets (pictures and the store). Ordered and paid for one a few weeks back, but haven't heard since. Please advise what I can expect. Would love to include you on the web site (www.BeretAndBoina.blogspot.com); a story on your beret would be welcome! Cheers from New Zealand | |

| loved ALL of your songs, Domingo. Especially the flip side of one of your 45 LP'S, "I'm In With The Out Crowd". Got to speak to you one in the summer of 1966, think it was. On KRLA AM radio out here in southern california (Pasadena). You're still just as handsome!. And had heard you went on to being a pastor in Texas. God's speed. | |

I don't know if you remember me...Ralph...12-string guitarist with Flintlock out of Savannah, but i want you to know that i have never forgot your advice that night when you talked about your friends habit with coke and he always had that vision of going to far...as then and still now i'm sorry for your loss but after all these years i want to thank you for the last two songs of our last nite at the "Post" you told the rest of the band to sit this one out and we played and gave honer to your friend who went "Behind The Door". Thank You, Your ol' friend , Ralph...never knew I was raised in Raymondville, Tex...Rio Grande Valley did you ? Living in Marianna, Fla. now. Sam, you were so influencial in my song writing that my way of life has been very rewarding personally. I can only hope to here from you. | |

| Hello, Sam,
I have an old, scratchy copy of Hard and Heavy that I bought when first released but am afraid it's going to wear out. Has this LP ever been released as a CD? I know it hasn't in the US but maybe Japan? Does anyone have it available as MP3s? Thanks! Peace & Love, MM | |

So since im a great fan, i just found ur sight and wanted to say Hi:) I used this song as a post on an official rock website of mine. I used the version of Bowling for Soup, because i couldnt find the video of yours to it. But it really is one of the greatest songs ever. I hope ur still rockin away:)

Sam was really getting into the vampire thing, and I was real young, so I can say that Sam really scared the hell out of me, lol. But you know what, I have frequently taled abnout Sam and the Pharoes with co-workers, and have a fond memories from his performance that day. What a trip Sam and his band were! Thanks for this web site, I was glad to find it. Best wishes to all, and thanks for the memories! | |

| Hi everybody! Yes , I get the "Blues" myself, once in a while.
Tonight; I'm lonely for Germany. I met such beautiful people there. Someday I would like to go back with a hand-picked band. So I could play some of the beautiful music, my fans in Germany have inspired. Each country I have been to, has it's unique place in my heart. And with that Place, It,s songs and poems, that it inspired. Just like all of you out there; I too get the "Mully-Grubbs", once in a while. "Sometimes it just be's that-a-way". That's when I just have to "SHAKE MYSELF". WHERE'S MY FRIEND JERRY LEE LEWIS. I COULD USE A GOOD DOSE OF "WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN"; RIGHT ABOUT NOW. | |

| Did Stan Kessler ever do the job when he produced Wooly Bully. I often wonder why he didn't use some of those tricks on your other early recordings. To this day it is one of the most magnificent recordings to listen to on a good set of headphones. The drums seem to echo from everywhere. Nobody has ever done a good cover of Wooly Bully to this day. The Pharaohs nailed it. And you, my man, wrote it!

My 5 year old step daughter was talking about the big bad wolf yesterday, so my friend and I put on "Little Red Riding Hood" for her. Now it's all she wants to hear. Take that Hannah Montana!--Blows against the empire, huh? Anyway, I noticed this website address on the CD sleeve and thought I'd check it out. I had no idea there was such a fascinating story behind Sam. I just thought it was great music with good humor. Thought you'd like to know you've acquired a new, very young fan. Good way to never grow old. | |

| Dear Mr. Sham,
First of all I would like to say, Like all your fans I have enjoyed your music for most of my life and do thank you very much for following your desires which have made the sound track to my life so great. When I was very young my mother gave me her and my uncles record collection which included The Wooly Bully lp and lil red riding hood. I would play those lps over and over until I eventually wore them out. To this day El Toro de goro is my all time favorite song from your whole collection. The ultimate bovine hero! I have been a drummer singer for 30 years now and hope you dont mind that I have played your music in some of the bands I have been in. But I'll tell ya, the floor was always packed when we did. One nite in Fairbanks Alaska (my home town) We did an 18 minute version of wooly bully to see how long it would take the drunk eskimos to stop dancing. We laughed the whole night about it. Sorry for babbling on for so long but I've always wanted to tell you about that. Thanks for all the great music. Your fan Jim Maddog Husek drumdragon69@xtra.co.nz (in case you want to say hi) haha | |

| Hey Sam, I'm another one who has enjoyed your music for 40+ years.
In the mid60s my wife was the manager of the Walgreens in downtown Memphis and we opened each morning. I remember that you came in often for a cup of coffee and a doughnut. You were a trip back then and I'm sure you still are. As an aside, I grew up on Highway 61 South and my dad was a trucker. Thanks for the memories, Ed Fuller | |

I wonder if you remember a guitar player named Bill Hudson. He says he was your original guitar player (maybe recording player) on "Wooly Booly" and "Little Red Riding Hood" from Greenville Ms. (1962???) I think he was around 16 or 17 years old.
