philip________@iprimus.com.au - Victoria, Australia   January 20 2002

I've read a number of positive reviews of your various albums, and performances. I'd like to present your music on KLFM, so if you're interested in some promotion over here in Australia, any chance you'd care to send something for airplay on my program?

February 12
Thanks for sending me a copy of your very fine album 'Tortured Mind'. I will greatly enjoy presenting your music...

Hello Lightning Red,

I would like receive two (2) signed copies of last CD: "Tortured Mind" in American copies... is it possible? Have you in Heroic Records?! Let me now! And one (1) signed copy of : "Texas Thunder Blues" in Heroic Records in HR-103.

Happy New Year to you and yours! I wrote you awhile back about obtaining Lightning Red's new cd.
Knowing he has three cds (that I am aware of) Would be possible to get the third one too? Please let me know when possible I would like to purchase a copy!

Greetings from Pensacola,
My name is Greg Guzman and I host The Blue Plate Special on WUWF 88.1 FM Public Radio in Pensacola, Florida. I enjoyed the "Austin Boogie" and I would like to have your permission to play that and other songs from your web site on the program.

henryprokop@_________.com (Radio Host) - Australia  December 11, 2001

Would love to get the new CD [ Tortured MIND] .
Just LAST night I was listening to a track on MP3, on the Texas Blues Stew site by Lightning called "Big City Blues" which I quite liked, and they said it came from his "Texas Thunder Blues" CD which I have, so I thought OK i'll play that on the program next Sunday.......
After I got off the internet I thought I'll check this out, but guess what, it's not on that CD...what gives?? maybe it's on the new one???? ["Big City Blues" is on Red's Blues]
I'll be looking forward to it...

cdmad@__________.com (Radio Host) - Seattle area, WA USA  December 11 2001

Thank you for the email notice of LR's new disc [ Tortured MIND. And no I/we have not received a copy at KSER. I would certainly enjoy a copy as would others at the station.
Warm Regards, Clancy Dunigan

Nice to hear from Texas again. No I haven`t got the album [ Tortured MIND]. Can be send to RADIO HOLSTEBRO

artists@__________.com USA  December 7 2001 Hey LR,
I work with a music licensing company called ______ Audio. Right now, I am searching the internet for those artists I think have the best potential to get their music placed. Our most recent work has included placing our artists in MTV's The Real World, The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Uncensored, WWF and The Tom Green Show.
Thanks ... I look forward to receiving your music.

You gotta move something! If your toes aren't tappin', your shoulders are groovin', your fingers are tappin', or your head's movin'.
Great guitar work. Everybody gave this five stars. You will too.
