I enjoyed your concert on Sunday, Sept. 5 at Family Worship Center. You did a great job and I'm glad that my wife and attended. We are members of Family Worship Center. Can't wait til you all come back. Thanks for being down to earth people.
Little Roy, its been a while since we've got to play some music on the same stage. But that will come to light in October, at Spring Creek Bluegrass festival. See ya then, Timmy Fischer
(The Saltgrass Band) www.thesaltgrassband.com
I just caught your show for the first time at the North Carolina State Bluegrass Festival in Marion, NC last weekend. I was pleasantly thrilled! Also, we loved the performance of Little Roy's grandchildren. It was a great show!
I saw you for the first time in Marion, NC this past weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed your show and look forward to seeing you again sometime.
Hey Lizzie,
Great stuff, I guess we are cousins, except I am a Connecticut Yankee. I may have to take a road trip with some friends to check you guys out. I guess music runs in the family, i sing some times with friends from Ireland...we do ballads. Hope all is well. All the Best!
Love the new pictures of the group. Want to go on that Cruse with you'll!!
Little Roy,
I miss seeing you. I have been following you and The Lewis Family for past 30+ years whenever you came to Delaware. At your last performance at Sam Yoder's Farm in Houste, Delaware - you said you would still "be around". In looking at your calender, the "closest" place I can find you (and Lizzy) is Lansdale, Pa on September 5th, which is 150 miles from where I live. Will you ever be coming back to Delaware. I know we are a "small" State, but we (in Delaware) do love you, but looks like we are "too small" for you to come any more. I have written you before, but go no response. I wish you and Lizzy great Success (and pray for you) wherever you travel. Just wish you wouldn't have "deserted" little old Delaware. Would love to hear from you. God bless you and Lizzy and all your family. Please tell them that I miss seeing them. Also, do you know Lewis' (Janice's Son's) e-mail address or website. Thanks again. Mike
My son Austin is 10 years old and loves your music. He has started playing the fiddle and wants to know the lyrics to two of his favorite songs that you sing. The songs are: "Everyday Will Be Sunday" and "Didn't It Rain". Could you please send him the lyrics or at least tell us where we could find them.
Thanks,
Michelle Marley
I heard the song, "James White" and was wondering what CD it is on and how I can get it. Thanks, Jerry Burns
I really like your type of music and songs. You all sound great.
It was great to see you at the LHS 50th reunion. We will see you on the road sometime this summer.
Don & Stella
I would like attend the shade Gap Pa show- how do i get ticket?
Lizzy and Little Roy looking forward to picking with you all at Shade Gap here in PA. Maybe we can do a twin banjo song or two for the people. See ya soon. www.remingtonryde.com
Congratulations to Roy and Lizzys' show and with great support from their talented musicians Saturday evening@ Mineral Bluegrass festival as they together separated themselves clearly from the other field of performers with an incredible show.I know what I heard and experienced in this set to sent a clear message to Bluegrass lovers, IBMA powers to be that this band brings traditional live Bluegrass music to the listener as it should be.I want to congradulate the band now for the future recognition and awards it will receive in this bands future.It's so well deserved due to the fact that all members of this group also are very approachable and friendly to their fans.
I for got to name the place I worked. It is the Mountain View Youth Development Center in Dandridge, TN.
I met you at the Cousin jake Bluegrass Festival in Etowah. I certainly enjoyed your sh0w with Earl and Little Roy. I work for the state at a Youth Development Center. I do not know if you do what I am going to ask, but if you are ever in the area, I would like for you to give a short concert for our students. Our students have committed three felonies to be with us. If you can do this, I would appreciate it; and, if you cannot, you still have a devotred fan. I love Sit Down and Cry.
Have a great day.
David Bugg
hope to bring some ice cream next time i see ya; thanks for the great times . see ya soon.
Looking forward to seeing you in Westcliffe, Colorado this weekend! Charlie & I have a message for you, Lizzy from Ty Herndon. Saw him in Laughlin, Nv over the 4th. Charlie will wear Ty's hat...Great to meet you! Love When we Fly! Judy

Maine was truly blessed to have you perform in Litchfield! I come from Bluegrass roots, but have never been so entertained!
It's hard to believe that you can pack that much talent into a 45 minute show!
Hey Little Roy. I love listening to you and the Lewis Family on the Greg Harden Show here in Thomson. this part of Georgia has a lot of respect for you and the family. Also i am good friends with Dennis Robinson. keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the Music and the friendship!
Little Roy, what time do you think you all will arrive in Magnolia, July 6?? I would like to treat
you all to a meal in Magnolia before the show, if
you think you all will get here in time. Please let

P.S. If this is possible, how many will be involved???

Great job this weekend at the Banjo BBQ....ya'll really sounded terrific. It was the first time my wife and a friend of ours had seen ya'll perform and they were singing your praises....again great job......
What a great sound ya'll have got. I really love to hear Rebecca and Lizzy sing Wildflowers....I've watched the video 5 or 6 times today, simply wonderful!!! There are no other words to say. It takes me back home to Madison County on a Friday night and the music that I grew up hearing and playing. I think my grandparents own almost every Lewis Family record ever made... Thank ya'll for the music and each and every mile that I have spent listening to the sounds of folks that love making beautiful music come alive. No matter how far I go, it always takes me right back home. Keep up the good work and God be with ya'll out there on the road.

The Lewis Family came in loud and clear at WJBF TV every Sunday morning in Augusta GA while I lived in Sandersville, GA as a youngster. The show was in living black and white and was live. Dad Lewis only got better looking with age.
I only have fond memories of this family.
Little Roy was really little at that time, but could play the banjo like a grown up.
Seen you guys on Virginia Dream Center and fell in love with your music.I'm speechless awesome,awesome,awesome.Hope you come back to Harrisonburg VA.YOUR NEXT FAN Jeffery.

hello to little roy from bob from the ole sherrif country lancaster,pa.
Little Roy, your records-Lewis Family, and the cassettes have been a part of our collection many years. Thanks.
Always love you music .Have a beautiful day.
GOD bless you always .Buck
I grew up with the Lewis Family as I'm sure you hear so many people say. But I have to be one of the very first because I was at Level Land at the old school house. So see, I go way back with you. My brother Cecil Bratcher had the biggest crush on Janis. So glad to hear part of you are continuing on. It would be such a waste of talent and love to let it all end. Please keep me informed of everyone's health, show dates, etc. I will continue to follow you. I see you every year at Rudy's Bluegrass in the Woods (and yes, I was there when you got the bus stuck)! I love every one of y'all and wish only the very best. Y'all are such an inspiration to me. And to be able to say I grew up with you. Adelle
I see you all in WinGab PA June 2010. Great Music.
Don't know if you remember me, but I am Pacer's mom. He and the kids are here this week visiting and he said you all are going to be in Pocahontas, AR in May. That is only a little over an hour from us here in Newark. Hopefully we will be able to come see you there. I think of you often and remember how sweet and kind you were to my mom before she passed, by sending her your cd and dvd. She really loved hearing you all play and sing. Thanks again for your thoughtfullness and kindness.

Little Roy,
I really miss you not coming to Delaware. When you came to Sam Yoder's Farm, I have been coming to see "The Lewis Family" every year. My cousin and I talked to you about your Guitars, Harp, etc. After 60 years of traveling, I know it took a toll on you (and the Lewis Family). When I asked you if you would ever be coming back to Delaware, you said you would still "be around". In looking at your schedule for 2010, I don't see "Little Old Delaware" anywher on your schedule. Do you ever have plans to come back to Delaware, or within a 50 to 100 mile radius of Sam Yoders? Miss you, and anxious to meet Lizzy. Would like to hear from you if you get time. Sincerely, Mike Melson
Hey Little Roy,How are you and Bonnie doing?We are all doing good.Miss you all.The Lewis Family where like a part of our family for years daddy and mama loved you all a lot.Then my girls came along and we hooked them on you all too.How is Polly Janis and Meggie doing? I read on the web site that Janis and Lewis are singing again some.I thought maybe out our way sometime but I can't fine anything with their dates on them.So maybe if you talked to them you could have Janie call me at daddy's number Earl should still have it.We are going to try to catch you and Lizzy at Oak Grove,La. in Oct.Give our love to Bonnie and the rest of the family,Patricia Hoyt's daughter
Little Roy, enjoyed your show at Hazel Kinder's Lighthouse Theater on Saturday evening.
First time we had seen the LIttle Roy and Lizzy show. Will see you at the Brumley Sing.
God bless.
I am glad that you are on the road again Little Roy! I have many fond memories of the Lewis Family through the years.Ya'll need to get booked at Bass Mountain soon.Great work Lizzie!
Thank You Little Roy for the years with the Lewis Family! My Mom and Dad, Paul & Lurene Carpenter always made a point to take my brother and I to shows all around the midwest or in our hometown of Linton Indiana, The memories I cherish of you and your family being so friendly to my parents are almost as precious as the picture I have of you with your signature and the phrase " Keep on Pickin' " written to me. You bet I'll keep on pickin' my 5 string for the Lord... Maybe you'll see me pull up in my silver and blue Eagle someday! Daddy passed away 3yrs ago, I'll try to bring Mom over to Beam Blossum this year... God Bless You! Keep on Keepin on!
Happy Birthday Little Roy! My family and I hope that you will come and visit in Ontario, Canada soon!
We enjoyed your recent show at The Rudy Theatre in Selma, NC. We miss the Lewis Family which we enjoyed for 30+ year. We are so happy that you are continuing to entertain and bring joy to others, Little Roy. Your group is very good. We loved Lizzy....she has the whole package....talent, personality, and a beautiful lady. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
thanks for that new banjo that i bought from frank neat , ive been playing it and it is a jewel , i miss seeing you all , you where all great friends , my health has been failing but i still can play the banjo and build guitars . bob forrester
I first saw the Lewis Family in El Reno Okla in about 1965 at a church. There wasn't a big croud there but the Lewis Family didn't act like they noticed. They put on a very fine show for us and since then I've traveled many miles, lots of times for their shows. Always good too.
One time we traveled form Okla City to a little town about a 100 miles north of West Memphis to a Rock Festival (not knowing what it was we were going to, except the Lewis Family was there and that was good enough for us) Well they had a big rain the day we got there and we walked about 1/2 mile thru mud, slush and passed out hippies along the way. I guess it was on a mountain, or something cause some of the spectators were real high on something. ha, ha, Everything went well and again they put on a great show. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon, maybe at the Brumley Festival in May
I enjoyed the Lewis FAmily several times at Northwest School, Rural Hall, N.C. I hated to hear that the family has retired. Tommy
Just saw the show at the Pasco County Fl. Fair and really enjoyed it. Already looking at your calender for future shows. Thanks .
Looking forward to seeing you later this year. I am so sorry about Polly's and Miggie's health issues. I am happy that Little Roy is continuing with his music. He and Lizzie perform very well together. We look forward to hearing alot more of their music.
We really enjoyed your show at the Barn in Andersonville tonight. You have a great group. Looking forward to see you more in the future.
Great show at The Barn,Andersonville,Ga. Saturday nite !! Like you're new group,lots of luck in the future. Looking foreward to seeing a lot of you in Ga. and in Ohio in the summer.

Saw you at the Dove Brothers Homecoming Sat. (2/6/10 ) you were great.
I enjoyed the entertainment Saturday Night in Elizabethtown,NC!
Hey Lizzy and Little Roy, Although it's a long time comin' we are so excited to know you're coming back to Clarendon in April 2011. If you guys ever get a gig close to us before then please let us know.
We all love you so much! Elizabeth
Hello Lizzy and Little Roy, just wanted to say I cant wait to see you guys this saturday at the Bladen county middle school in Elizabethtown nc . That is if your still gona be there after our big snow we had here if so I will see you there!
Ken
Prayers are with you and the entire family as you make the transition into new careers and opportunities. Carol and I look forward to seeing you (if not before) at Bean Blossom. Your friend in Delaware.
Little Roy and Lizzy,
We hope you are both well. I've just been looking at your calendar and listening to your music. It is real good!
This is just to remind you who I am -- I'm the guy who helped with your equipment loading after your last set at the SC Bluegrass Festival in Myrtle Beach, Nov 2008.
Thanks, again Little Roy for your generosity in personally introducing me to Earl at the 2009 Lewis Family Homecoming. It was a real thrill to "pick and play" with Earl, you, and Lizzy.
I watched the Family several years on WJBF when living in N. Augusta, SC in the mid-late 60's.
Just curious - is Little Roy considering anything such as a "gathering" or " 'pickin' & grinnin' " in Lincolnton anytime?
I see your calendar is very full and I am thrilled for you. We plan to see again at a show soon.
If you are in the Rock Hill, SC area (just south of Charlotte) any time, please feel welcome to call and come by. We'' ll fix a meal for you if you'd like!
Our Regards are sent with Best Wishes for your continued successs!

Love your new sound.
We will be coming to your concert tomorrow night at The Capitol Theatre. Looking forward to this wotj great anticipation. We love bluegrass and gospel music.
Hi ya'll. Roy here, I live in Oakland CA but originally I'm from Charlottesville VA. I have loved and cherished the Lewis Family over the years and now I am very excited to see the Little Roy & Lizzy show this year. I'll try to catch you in Mineral VA. lotsa love
Great show in Jekyll Island ga.
Hey my wife & i have bin going to your concerts in lancaster for many yrs till we moved to co. So ws just look at music on the web& found you guys.. & you are coming to westcliff co. so so excited to see that, will try to be there..And thanks for including the west in your travels.. May God bless you as you sing & travel.. Conrad
Ya'll were awesome at Jekyll. Thank you for continuing to bring your gifts of talent to us to enjoy so we can forget about our daily routine. We send much love to Rebecca, Lizzy and the entire Lewis Family. This family is the group that brought Dave and me to bluegrass in January of 2002 at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We salute you for keeping the family together for as long as you did; well done, sir! These issues are never easy, nor cut and dried. As you know your fans have adopted each of you as their own family and are concerned about you; therefore, we appreciate your interaction with us at the CD/DVD table. We can listen to you anytime on our CD's and watch the viedos of you, but we come to the festivasl to buy new CD's and DVD's and to say hello, how are you? Bonnie was lovely in handling the table for the group. Calm and collected, although we were coming at her like a drove of bees! Our very best as always to you and Lizzy. One last thing, thank you for incjuding the old songs of the Lewis Family. Sure would have liked to have heard, "Which Came First", "One Rose", and Angles Gathering Flowers". My favorites. My thoughts are that you are teaching your new band the old songs and it takes time. We'll wait! : ) Please bring more viedos of the Lewis Family, I don't have enough of them and like to watch them when we are in RV parks that don't have cable TV. Happy New Year and I'll catch Lizzy on fb.
Little Roy has more energy and talent then you can beleive. Thanks Roy. And keep it go'in. When you get in the Oxford, Pa area I'll look for ya. I'll see you at Mineral Va in July. Lizzy, I only hope you can keep up! Les
I lived in Lincoln county until I was 12. My Daddy moved to Jones County and that is where I live now.
Been following you for a long time. First saw you at Lincon County High School many years ago.
Always enjoyed your music.
I am eighty one now and I am glad to see you keep the Lewis Family alive.
Lizzie you probably don't remember me but I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. I saw Ty Herndon last Friday for A Make a Wish charity and he mentioned your nameI'm also very proud of Rebecca and hope everyone is doing well. God Speed.
Greetings! Just wanted to say I enjoyed last sayurday evening at Sandy Ridge concert . Lizzy you and Little Roy have a special bond that makes your music great I enjoyed listening to your music at home and on the road when I travel . I also love your cds of when you first started playing and singing. I am new fan of the bluegrass music ,I started listening to bluegrass at the first of the year 2009. Thats when I met Rhonda Vincent and the Rage in north carolina and have been to several of there concerts around the area. Now I have met you and Little Roy and am a Big Fan of your music also. Caint wait to see you guys again when you come through north carolina again. Merry Christmas and a Great New Year 2010

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH ONES YOU HAVE ON HAND. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND TELL EVERYONE HELLO FOR US. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Really miss seeing you. Looking at your calendar, doesn't look you are going to be coming anywhere near Delaware even next year. I always went to see you at Sam Yoders in Houston, Delaware. You said you would still be "around", but don't see anwhere close to me. Please try to come back to Sam Yoders if at all possible. Thanks. From a True Fan who has been following you for YEARS. You may not remember, but it was I and my Cousin that asked you so many questions about the Guitars you played, and you played your Har for us and lots of Songs (after the concert) outside the campers, with Mosquitos Biting you. Really am going to miss you. And Lizzy sounds Great. Will try to look for your new CD's and hopefully some DVD's. You are really going to be missed in this area. May God bless you (and Lizzy) as you venture forward and keep you Safe while traveling. Will be praying for you. Mike
