A Great Time In Milpitas

Today at the Milpitas Arts and Wine Festival was the first time my husband and I have seen or heard your band.  What a great band.  We really enjoyed your music.
 
I printed your schedule and will make plans to see you soon.
 
Thanks for a great day!

Dear PT & THE CRUZERS:

Last night you performed for a party for Silicon Valley Law Group in SJ. I loved your music and asked you if you had heard of a famous drummer. His name is Buddy Rich. I'm sure some of you have heard of him.

Anyway, thanks so much for a lovely evening!

Ne Hao from Shenzhen, China and Shanghai

How can I get in to see you (with my girlfriend, Trish), at one of the private parties (I have a truck and can be a roady, or run sound;)?

Every damn time you guys play where we can see you, I'm traveling abroad on business!
Pleeeez!?
It's been way too long since we saw you all.

Lost in Shenzhen,

PT & The Cruzers Rock!!!!

Pat, Harold, Andy and Rick - Oh my gosh.....you guys were rockin' the house on Saturday night at Bosco's!!! All of my friends that came up from San Jose to hear you guys are still talking about how great you guys sound and how much fun they had dancing their butts off. I don't know what it is, but you guys seem to get better each time I hear you. Must be that "better with age" thang!!!! :) When you announced that you guys will be back at Bosco's on the 21st, my friends said, "oh yeah, we'll be back"!!! And we will....again and again and again!!! Thanks for playing all my favorites and I will see you on the 21st!! After all, you guys owe me Rio!! :) Thank you again for a fantastic evening of dancing and fun!

Awesome Again!!

Hey Pat - I wanted to tell you guys that once again you rocked the house at Bosco's!!!  You sounded awesome and I had a wonderful time dancing my ass off!  You all never disappoint me or anyone else for that matter....you live up to our expectations everytime...and then some!!!  I wish I was going to be able to catch you at some of the festivals you'll be playing this summer, but I've got a lot of activities coming up myself, including a 2 week vacation in August.  I will definitely try to catch you all again at Bosco's at the end of August.  Enjoy your summer and keep up the great work.  There is simply no one else out there that sounds better!!!!!!!

Rocked the House!

You guys are the BEST!

Thank you for doing such a great job at our Memorial Day BBQ here at the Los Altos Golf & Country Club. Our members had just come off the golf course from a full day on the greens and you got them up and dancing! Your performance was tight, and the fact that you played all our requests was a real bonus for us! I'm still hearing about how much fun the dancing was and how great the band was. Thanks for making our event so special.

Keep on rockin'

Incredible!

Saw you guys at Bosco's. I only have one word to say "incredible". I will definitely come see this band again. It is rare to see a band with four extremely professional and talented musician's. I enjoyed the show and appreciated your talents. Would love to see you play more in the Pleasanton area!!

;)
signed,
still humming some of those songs you played!!!

I wanna testify!

Pat Tinney is a typical example how the music industry can 'miss' one of the great musicians of our time. As the Pat Tinney Group he's shared stages with some of the best bands in the business and currently enjoys an executive relationship with a top mixing console manufacturer. Now I know that even Quincy Jones took a "day gig" with Mercury Records but Pat is in his glory when he's doin' what he does best: Singin', songwritin' and sizzlin' on Lead Guitar for PT & The Cruzers. Pat's distinctive vocal stylings are as expressive as his Lead guitar work is legendary! Catch P.T. & The Cruzers for a chance to see one of the greats.

Regards,
Tom McSweeney

I am looking forward to seeing you all at JJ's Sat. night. I hope you had a nice break...now back to playing! We have missed you and can't wait to get the gang together to hear some great music (not to mention, dance our feet off). See you Sat. AND definitely 4/26 and 4/27 at Bosco's.

One of your many fans........... I'm the biggest one!

Thank you!!

Hi Guys,

Finally, my email to thank you so much for the fantastic job you did at our wedding!! Everyone had a blast - we could not sit down! Is the bride supposed to dance all night instead of mingling? Oooops!! Do you remember that the dance floor was full AND the lawn! You all played a huge role in the great success of the biggest day of our lives! Having known all of you for so many years, I had no doubt that you would totally rock!
Todd and I just can't thank you enough. You all did such a wonderful job. A special thank you to Harold for also taking on the role of Master of Ceremonies - you were awesome! Please let me know if you need anyone for a reference call list - we are your biggest fans!

We love you guys!

The talllll red head guy with baseball cap, the grandma in the red sweatshirt, and me. Anyways, we had to take grandma home to bed.

Been Watching and am Impressed

Hello PT & The Cruzers

Last summer while attending a wedding reception at the Benson Hotel in Portland Oregon, a guest was requested to sit in on a couple of sets with a hot seven piece band who was really pretty good I thought. This gentleman came onto the stage and was handed the bass guitar and began to cook. WOW! Initially, I thought that this person was just a rookie that needed to show off. As I stood in the background and began to listen, I thought this individual was Stanley Clark and had to get a closer look. He began by just playing along but then the band gave him an opportunity to "display". I thought we were going to were going to have to call the Portland Fire Department to put the fire out on the fingerboard of the bass. He was hot. I learned that his name was Harold Martin. He was from SunnyVale and associated with PT & The Cruzers. Wow, did Portland learn what the Bay Area had to offer. I wanted to know more so I travelled to the Bay Area and recently got an opportunity to watch the whole band in action.

They were opening for the "HeartBreakers". It became very apparent to me who the professionals were. PT & The Cruzers are very together, tight, well rehearsed, and most of all enjoy what they do and played to please their audience. They enjoy each others abilities and are really up and coming.

I recently discovered the existence of this web site and wanted to be sure to let everyone know my experiences and advise everyone to see your band. I can't wait to join you again for a night of exciting music and fun. With this website, I can now plan my trip according to your schedule.

Keep on keepin on and I will definitely see you again. Andy, Rick, Pat and Harold: You guys are fantastic. Hopefully, I can put a gig together for you guys and fly you into Seattle to teach the Puget Sound what the Bay Area has to offer.

Thank You Sincerely,
LK

Hello PT and the Cruzers

I celebrated my birthday last Saturday at JJ's and had a blast!! The soles of my feet are just now healing back to normal after dancing my a__ off! Had a wonderful crowd there and the floor was packed! There was no way to sit down when you hear all the great songs that you played. I am definitely looking forward to the next club date! Thanks to all of you guys for a most memorable evening!

Rockin' the House!

Love your sound

Hey Guys,

Saw you tonight at Bosco's and your sound put me in a place I haven't been for a long time. I didn't want to leave the place. You guys are tight!

Have you thought about playing any Steely Dan or Peter Frampton tunes? I get the sense your style would work well with tunes from these artists, which happen to be a couple of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, I think what you are doing is fantastic. You guys are really tight and seem to be having a lot of fun on the stage.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed what your are doing.

Keep on Jamin!

- Bill

You Guys Are Awesome!

PT & The Cruzers,

First of all, great name! Secondly, I can't think of a better time on a Friday or Saturday night than being on the dance floor dancing to Brick House, Smooth, When a Man Loves a Woman, and the list goes on! And the weddings - they're the most fun when you guys are entertaining!! How anyone can sit down while you're playing, I'll never know!

Love your Faithful Groupies,
The Donners

To the boys in the band,

I just had to write and say that I LOVE your music!! All of you are truly gifted and play incredibly. I LOVE to come see the band play. The drummer, Andy, is exceptional. The base player, Harold, is awesome. The guitar player, Pat, is better than Jimmy Hendrix. With all of you being so talented and fun to watch...my heart still goes out to that keyboard player and singer Rick. I melt when I watch him play.

Your ever adoring fan,
Pamela

Hi,

You were great at the Mountain View Art & Wine. We live in Santa Clara and would like to know your schedule for October, November & December. Any dates you can give us? Will you be at the Los Altos Bar & Grill?

BEST guitar I've heard since Santana!!! You're new recording 4X6 is dynamite!! We wish PT & the Cruzers much success.

Thanks, Your Fans (Sandi & Terry)

Hello,

I thought you guys were great last night (9/1/01). I'm glad that I ended up going out and happened to stop by the L.A. Bar and Grill. Your professionalism, experience and love for music came through.
I hope to catch you guys again.

Thanks, Raya
