Hi Augie!
I just ran across your website and wanted to say thanks for the copy of your cd you gave me this summer! I enjoyed it very much! You guys sound fantastic; laid back but so energetic! ("relaxed intensity" as Dr. G would say) Thanks again, and I hope things are going well!
09.29.09 | Teresa Haas
You need to update your website. You have accomplished so many great things in the past 6 months. I would love to see everything on your website. Please get on that right away. Thank you

OMG! You are becoming quite the celebrity-Conan, Ellen DeGeneres. What next? I'm proud to say "I knew you when............" We enjoy watching you perform wherever you are. Take good care of yourself. Sorry I missed seeing you when you were home this summer.

Hi Augie
I was just listening to "Lllama" by the South 9 Ensemble and thought to myself, "that trumpeter's name sounds familiar." And it was. Cisco Dimas. I saw him play with an Honors Band here in Abq when he was a Sr in HS and heading to the U of Miami to study with Greg Gisbert. He's come a long way since then! I went to his MySpace site but can't reach him there (or, more to the point, don't want to), as one has to sign up for MySpace or something like that, and I'm not inclined to do that. Anyway, pls say hi to Cisco for me and let him know I remember him from Abq. And as he is on the CD, I'd be happy to review it for you (that's what I do -- but mainly big bands). Let me know if you'd want me to write a few words about "Llama." BTW, we have a pretty good big band here, directed by another pretty good trumpeter, Bobby Shew.
Best to you and the band

I had a lesson with you in Milwaukee and it was great. I am one of Dr. B's students and am looking into music as a career also. Just wanted to say hi and thanks for the lesson. It has really helped inspire me to practice more.

Kate Smith sent me your CD to add to our jazz repertoire at WTUL FM 91.5 in New Orleans (the Tulane Univ radio station). I'm just loving it! You guys swing! When you coming to the Big Easy?
I am director of jazz programming at the station and I'm so sorry (for our listeners) that this one slipped through the cracks, but I'm adding it in this week! Love the cover, you bad boy, you...

Hi Augie. I'm Michael Wildeman's aunt (Gloria's sister). I'm generating a site diagram of your web material so we can get a good picture of what you've got going today. write back and tell me about the baby, ok? I'll send you a copy of my self-published novel, "Thin Threads" if you like to read. It's about a tear in the fabric of time. Who takes the 911 call in an emergency like that? You and me...of course. g2

Hi-
My daughter Amy Barrett(currently at PiusXI) was accepted to Miami and really wants to go. She has received no financial aid from Miami. Without aid, she will have to go to UWGB or similarly small school. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, Augie! Now that the dust has settled a bit, I wanted to get back to you and tell you (again) how much we loved having you as part of Colleen's wedding celebration. We have had nothing but fabulous comments re: the quality of music, and everyone LOVED your trumpet : ) It was a special bonus to have Megan as your guest. Hope all is well and you are playing your little heart out!
Love,
~Ma Nelson
08.18.07 | Mark McLaughlin
Hi -
Just writing to say "Hi" and let you know I just listened (and am still listening) to you and your brass partner. I love it! This is the type of jazz to which I'm addicted and to hear it played with crystal clarity and such mellow smooth-ness is a genuine treat.
Fantastic!
And, yes, I am related to John McLaughlin, who did your case. I am his very proud father.
It was through John that I was introduced to you and the Southern 9 Ensemble, so, obviously, I had to look up your web stie and say hello.
BTW: Where did the title "The Llama" come from?
None of my business, actually, but as a writer and former journalist, I get curious about things such as this. OK, OK - so I"m nosey.
Take care and be good to yourself...

Augie, I never could have guessed that the little boy who sat next to me on the piano bench at your mother's Christmas party would grow up to become such an outstanding musician! Great trumpet sound. Keep up the fine work.
05.28.07 | Brad Thorson
I want to appologize for not taking you 100% seriously last night at George Webbs. You made it a quality atmosphere and I feel inclined to dabble in your music. Have a good day sir.
05.28.07 | Nate O
Hey bro I'm glad you got a site, I linked it to mine just so you know. Keep up the awesome trumpet, sorry about not getting the Gordan Goodwin thing, A guy who is going to be my teacher in the fall won the bass/guitar category. I have just been working on school and bass and now it's summer and I need a job. Gigs aren't enough yet. and maybe never in Utah ;) ecept for the very top cats. Anyways do you have a myspace? let me know, take her easy bro.

Hey I saw you play a few weeks ago with the University of Miami Concert Jazz Band and your lead work was amazing. I was blown away. I would like to know if there is anyway to contact the bass player Eric England from the CJB. I'm a bass player in high school and I want to keep in touch with him since he's a monster of a bass player.
