| Sam, I remember you from the old Congo Club in Leesville, La. when you were the organist with "Andy And The Night Riders". You guys layed down a lot of great sounds. I left the area and never found out where you went to when you left Andy.
Good luck with all of your future endeavors Sam. | |

| Hey Sam,
I was the guy who produced and engaged you for the Liebes Battle of the Bands at the Cow Palace Auditorium in San Francisco in I guess '65 or so. You were on the bill with The Turtles and Bob Kuban and the InMen (The Cheater) along with sixty or so aspiring garage bands. I loved your song then and like it even more today which is why I am writing. A bunch of us play gospel, bluegrass, tex-mex, rockabilly and classic country pro-bono at a senior center here in Tampa Bay. I sing and play strictly rhythm guitar no lead, and want to sing Wooly Booly backing myself up on guitar. I know the chords but if you were just playing acoustic guitar with a mike pickup, how would you suggest I get your organ riff style on the guitar without a keyboard as we are all string acoustic? I know I will make a couple hundred "seniors" very happy if I could bring them something faintly close to your rendition. Best Regards, Don Steele Trinity, Florida dsteele@dcninc.com | |

| Sam,
I just stumbled onto you site in the most indirect manner, must have been divine intervention. I'm 53 years old & was born, raised, & lured back to South Texas to raise my boys with my South Texas born & raised latina wife. I have nothing but the finest memories of listening to you on the Am radio stations in McAllen, KRIO, Corpus Christi, & San Antonio. My older sister and I would sing a long to all your songs at the top of our lungs while riding in the backseat of our folks car, traveling from McAllen to Pawnee & Kenedy, TX to visit our grandparents. I used to run home to watch all the "Teen Dance shows", I was & still not much of a dancer, but I watched to see bands like yours perform. I dreamed of having a band of my own but not for fame & fortune, I thought being able to perform was the ultimate expression of ones creativity. I tried piano first, but quit before I hurt myself, lack of coordination. Shortly after I picked up my dad's old guitar and painfully taught myself to play. My grandfather played in a band, my dad played as well, I have played nearly everyday of my life since early on and have had several bands I'm not ashamed of being in & we always play "Wooly Bully". Both my boys are gifted musicians and play regularly. My wife and I live outside of town on our little Ranchita. If you are ever in the neighborhood get in touch, my suegra lives with us & has a couple goats you can rope and milk if you don't mind risking you life & limb. Keep up the good work, I catch myself singing "Lil' Red Riding Hood" while working around our place on the tractor. Love your stuff, Tim & Jeannette Smith from Mission, Texas tfhsmith@aol.com | |

| Good Day Sir, My late wife Betty was a friend of a musician named Sweet William. She lived in Savannah, Ga. in the early 70's. She had some pictures with you and her childern taken at her home one time when you were in Sav.
I met William after she and I married but he moved back to Tenn. and at some point we finally lost contact with him. The last time we talked with him he told us of your record shop in Menphis. She passed away from brain cancer 25 years ago. For some rreason all of that popped back into my head today and I thought I'd just say hello and was wondering if you can tell me what happened to "Sweet William" My e-mails are wmjiles@vescorp.com and thstrykr@netscape.net. Have a nice day | |

| Sam, I have enjoyed reading your story, and can't wait for you to update some more! When I lived in Erie, PA, I had friends who had a sailboat named Wooly Bully. They used to blast that song in the marina and everybody had a great time! It has been a pleasure getting to know you and working with you and your wife. I hope to see you again soon.

| Hey Sam!
My professional radio name is Dr. Gary Theil, "The original Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla." Way back when I was still fairly "Rock uninitiated," I received two albums for my birthday. My sister Ronnie had gotten me "God Bless Tiny Tim," and my big brother Mick, "Sam the Sham and the Pharoes Greatest Hits." I became an instant fan. Your music became the cornerstone on which I began my journey to Rock enlightenment. Sorry to say that was more than 40 years ago, but lets just say that in the heyday of "Hair Metal," many were converted to what in the '80's was what I thought "Classic Rock" was on the South Florida club scene. Thank you for all the joy and pleasure you've brought the world with your music. Incidentally, I also became very fond of Tiny Tim's "Then I'll be Satisfied with Life." Best wishes, and see you in Cleveland! | |

Thank you so much for all that wonderful music! I was in physical therapy the other day and I usually bring music with me. I brought your greatest hits. PEOPLE WHO WERENT EVEN A GLEAM IN THEIR DADDY'S EYE were hopping around the therapy center! One Young lady asked me "Who are those guys"?? I told her Sam the Sham and the Faye-Rows! That music is close to 45+ years old! She told me "Its still great music"!! Thats the bottom line isnt it? When the flash and puff disapears the Real Talent remains! Wooly bully, Ring Dang Doo, I'd write you a letter but I cant spell **&^%! Is making people laugh and dance today in 2009 the way it did in the 60's!! God Bless You Sam and thanks again!! | |
