"Book 'em! Great presentation! Looked good, sang well, played great! The music selection and the quality of the band would be well received at Rockin' on the River and at Summit Racing car show. What a talented bunch of young men." Joseph
"You guys were awesome! I wish I could play an instrument like you do!" Madison
"These guys are fantastic! I wouldn't be surprised if someday they're inducted in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Keep up the good work." Sam
"I saw you at Rockin' on the River and was amazed! I actually watched in amazement at the talent and professionalism demonstrated. How long has that guitarist been playing? I'm 51, have been playing since I was 16, and can't light a candle to him. The whole band looks good and is sweet. Hope to catch you next summer. I live in Tenn. and spend a couple of weeks in Cuyahoga Falls each summer visiting my folks. Guess I was just lucky to be there to see Retro!" Fred

"I can hardly wait to go to your anniversary concert at the Quirk! I was there last year and was totally amazed and totally entertained!" Renee
"We came to your anniversary concert at the Quirk and couldn't believe the talent!!!! We were in awe by what we saw and heard. It was the most fun that our family had in a long time. What's really neat is that all age groups were rockin' out and having a blast. We can hardly wait to attend the next RETRO concert. We are true fans after one concert!" Mary
"I heard your Oktoberfest concert being advertised on WNIR, so I came to see what they were raving about. Let's just say that I was in shock!!! It was the most amazing thing that I ever saw. I signed your registry and plan on attending every RETRO concert in the future!" Tom
"The Oktoberfest was the most fun that I had in a long, long time. You guys are AMAZING!!!!" Terri
"We were at the Aeros game and saw you guys for the first time. All we can say is WOW! We signed your registry, so you will for sure see us at future shows, starting with Rockin on the River on June 4th. Can I get my picture taken with you before or after the show?" Celine
"Caught you at the Aeros! My four teen-age girls (15, 17, 18, 19) were with me and they are each in love with different members of the band! As a family, we're all going to come and see you guys at Rockin on the River in a couple of weeks! You rock!" Lenny

"We saw RETRO for the first time at the July 4th Parade in 2009 and were hoping that you would be in it again this year! My teen age daughters jumped up when they saw the RETRO banner come down the road (and heard you!!!) What a neat idea! By the way, we've gone to three concerts since the parade last year! We're planning on attending the Festa Italiana in a couple weeks to see you play!" Connie
"The Festa Italiana was AMAZING. I found myself sitting in the 100 degree heat and not complaining one time becasue I was so entertained! Now that says a lot." Robert
"The band played for 90 minutes, and I wanted to hear even more. A solid, great show!" Renee

"Saw you for the first time last night at the Stow Sunset Blast and was totally blown away! We watched the first set, went back for the second set, and wanted more once it was over! We can't tell you how much we enjoyed the show! Thanks for making our Labor Day weekend! We will for sure see RETRO next week at the Riverfront Oktoberfest." Connie
"Hey, Michael, there is only one word to describe you.......and it's AMAZING!" Carter

"How do you do it? I was sitting on the grass in the front row at the Stow Fest and couldn't believe your guitar playing skills! I'm a junior in college who has played the guitar since I was 2. You are my guitar hero. Keep rockin' and I will see you playing in front of a sold out stadium in the future." Ron
"Just at the Taste of Hudson. You guys rocked!"
"I gotta tell you that RETRO got the best audience response at the Battle of the Bands at the Taste of Hudson! Everyone on the green was loving RETRO! We watched all the bands perform and voted you guys as the first place winners! Winning second place was great too!" Jamie
"Totally cool song choices!" Barry
"Michael...we've been to four of your shows in the past year! Love you guys! Your guitar playing is unheard of, and we also love the clothes that you wear. I find myself keep looking at you!" Linda

"So glad that Legends is having you back once a month. I'll be there!" Dave
"I told my buddies (in their 30s) that they had to go and see RETRO with me at the Legends because I personally saw you guys four times. They were reluctant because they thought that they were going to see "another teen band". They were flabbergasted, to say the least! The guitarist blew them away." Al
"I fell in love!" Chrissy
"Fun, fun, fun! A great night out with my friends. You guys are incredibly entertaining. I signed your guest book at Legends and am looking forward to seeing you real soon!" Steffy
"I caught the drum stick that was thrown! Thanks, Man!" Patrick
"How do you do it? Your fingers move over that guitar smooth as silk. Take it from me, I've been playing the guitar for the past 30 years and know how hard it is to play it well, not to mention great. You are it, bro! Too many people take musicians for granted and don't know how difficult it really is and the amount of effort and practice needed. You surely have dedicated yourself to it, I can tell. I was impressed beyond words." William
"Went to the Battle of the Bands on 3/5/11. You were AMAZING! Good stage presence and good music!" Amanda
"Loved how the guitarist & piano player were dressed and looked at the Battle of the Bands!" Syndie

"The best at the Battle of the Bands, 2011!!!!!!!" Claire & Kelli
"Love you!"
"Wanted more than just the 20 minutes that you were allowed to play at the Battle of the Bands!" Benni
"Great song choices...moved everyone in the Cuyahoga Falls High School auditorium. Really enjoyed it. What a treat!" Libby
"Hot guys! One for each of us!" Cindy, Kim, Laura, & Linda
"So happy to hear that you're going to be at the Legends on Cuyahoga Falls Avenue once every month! We have seen RETRO play at least 4 times, and really find the band to be entertaining. I have played the guitar for over twenty years, and can really appreciate the talent that I'm seeing, and the way you passionately "feel" the music when you perform. You are truly a gift from God. Never stop making music because you provide a gift to everyone who comes to see you." Ron
"The band sounds GREAT! We love you four!" Sandy
"Jimmy, you were on fire!" Bill
"We had the pleasure of seeing this fine group of young men last night as we were having a family gathering at Legends. They sounded much more mature than their young age of 13. I'm really glad to see a young band play classic rock. Who would have thought that classic rock would be accepted by a younger generation of future artists, as well as these boys have done it! Thank you! We had four younger members of the family that had a blast all night long. I'm sure you may have created a few more "rock and rollers" last night! Rock on, RETRO!" Gene
"Good job, RETRO, for throwing guitar pics & drum sticks to me!" Samantha
"We went to Legends for a quick dinner last Saturday night and ended staying the entire night! We couldn't leave since we were enjoying the entertainment so much." Gabby
"We love RETRO!" Jean
"Love the idea of putting the fans on the "Fan Face" page! It really personalizes the experience." Kim
"Loved your last show at Legends. Best concert ever!" Patrick
"Went to see you the Stow Armory and really enjoyed the show. 50 minutes wasn't enough!" Missy
"You guys are really good! Thanks for the entertainment." Fran
"I'm a 7 Red student of your mom, and I think that you are amazing! I gotta tell you that I was very impressed with the talent that I saw at camp on Tuesday night. Your guitar playing is incredible."
"Saw you at our camping trip. Great job. Dude!"
"You guys were really good at CVEEC!" Bella
"Totally enjoyable."
"My wife and I were at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this last weekend. Hearing the live music, we ventured into the stage area and stood there in amazement! Hearing songs that I grew up with (I'm 53) being played by musicians less than half the age of my kids just blew me away! You have to come to the Toledo area! You blow away some the bands here, by far! Good luck, live your dream while you can and have the support of friends and family! We hope to see you again!" Ron & Teri
"Saw the group playing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...can't wait to see Michael inducted there one day. Looking forward to hearing your own original work." Barb
