Travis, you are a truly wonderful artist and, after all these years, I am so happy to have your music again. Your rendition of Malaguena Salerosa thrilled me, and whenever I encountered Mexican musicians, I would request that they sing it. But it was never as good - just a poor imitation. Thank you for all the beautiful songs.
Pat Reed, Germantown, Maryland
For years through the army, through college, and most of my teaching career your live performance from Santa Monica Civic Auditorium lifted my spirits and made me feel alive. I bought some CD's from your Web site and shared them with friends. Everyone who has listened loves your work. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Don Stemmler, Glen Burnie, Maryland
Congratulations on the tribute, Travis! Your songs have always been, and will always be an important part of my life.

It isn't possible for me to be in Phoenix on May 9, but I would absolutely love to be with Travis. I just love him, and the memories and joy be brings into my life when I hear him sing.
Suzanne Norman, Carson City, Nevada
You did more than anybody else to bring some of the very beautiful Mexican and other Latin American songs to the US audience. For this, you will always be remembered. Together with the various CD's of other old LP records and concerts that your website has issued , I'll now be able to enjoy your music as long as I live. Thanks for the musical memories that have enriched my adult life!
George W. Cox, New Mexico
I play the In Concert CD often and still have my collection of I think eight vinyl albums from the 60s. I wish Travis a very great tribute night. He's given me so much enjoyment over the decades, it's hard to quantify. It's really the music of my life. Travis had a big following in Montana when I was a kid.
Dennis Seibel, Branson, Missouri
It is so wonderful to have your music back in my life. I play your CDs all the time, and have ordered more. I will be thinking of you on your tribute night, and playing your albums all day.
Barbara Roeben, Bonney Lake, Washington
Your music stands the test of time and is as fresh today as the first time I heard it. Please know that for every one of us who've written, there are hundreds and thousands more who would have if they knew about the tribute concert, or intended to but didn't git 'er done. On their behalf and especially on my own, thanks, Travis; congratulations and may God preserve and continue to richly bless you.

You graced my living room with your songs and LP covers during my childhood in Sebastopol California, and now your voice booms out of my cd player as I travel the back roads of Australia. I don't play the Beatles anymore, and Idon't play the Beach Boys, but I still play the Gateway Singers. Well done Travis.
