Rita Hosking

Thoroughly enjoyed your concert tonite from Grass Valley - we had you perform a few times for Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association at Anderson Marsh SHP & the night of the Valley Fire at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeprt

Dear Rita, let me thank you very heartily for your music. There are only few contemporary musicians I listen to that often and with such pleasure. You are a great artist with wonderful lyrics and a voice that is unique. All the best & hang on!

Love the live stream tonight, Sunday 19 April. Damn girl, you just get better and better!

Hi Rita, we used to play in Pimlico Road met you a couple of you a couple as artist and fan, have you any plans of playing back in the UK IE London or the south (Brighton) ?
Still lovin you tunes, just listening “For Real” as I right this ?????
All the best,
Keif

My husband bought a wifi, so we could tune in to KPFA, KPFK (Los Angeles), and WBAI, (in NYC) - I came home from work, and was listening to, "BAcK Forty", and Rita Hosking came on singing, "If you come 'round again" - I was TRANSFIXED!!! Today I called up KPFA, (BACK FORTY) and was told by the host, (when I asked if she could play that song, of your's, "If you come back again") that she'd ask you to play it next week, because you'd be doing an ON-AIR, "IN-STUDIO"!!!! Hope I'm off work, and at home, by then!!! If not, I'm going to see if we can record the show, with you singing/playing it LIVE!!!! I used to live up north (in Santa Cruz) until '95, (when they closed where we worked, and we all scattered to the wind, to find employment , elsewhere) and I was a faithful KPIG listener, and a faithful KFAT listener, before that - Listening to you, singing your song, was like a breath of fresh air ! I sit and hum it, HA!! You've got a really special sound!! One of my friends, (who was in a country band, and worked at Cymbaline Records, and LOGO"S Books and records (BOTH of them, )respectively, until they closed, I'm sure he is aware of you and your music !! I'll bet, "NO DEPRESSION" has covered you (among others) When are you gonna be playing in our neck of the woods, San Diego?! Man , what a show, if you, Peter Rowan, Robert Earl Keene, and James McMurtry, could ALL be on the same bill!!! I just wanted you to know , your ethereal voice has touched many, many people!! I just know it!! Thanks for your beautiful music! I want to put "if you come 'round again", on a continuous tape loop!! Laura said "She lives in Davis", (when I asked where you were from) They're luck to have you up there !! Man, what kind of harmonies could you and Nanci Griffith come up with, on the same song?! You're wonderful!! All the Best for a long, long successful career!!

Latched onto a copy of BURN - surprised U aren't more well known!! Love first cut on album (SOMETHING U GOT) - rest of album isn't bad either....hahah..

GOOD LUCK - some people fall thru the cracks - ain't fair.....Rita - you are very, very good!

Regards, Michael Deane/Marcia Sky down here in New Mexico

Just heard your interview with Beth Ruyak on Insight. Your song, hope I got the title right, Maybe Elvis reminds me of the powerful songs from the 60's protesting the insanity of our world. It should be played daily in the heartland and even though bludgeoning the conservative right is not going to help, I would feel better. Thank you for your song. It was amazing and sent chills over my 70 year-old body. I am a crisis counselor at a local high school and the students are so confused about what is real and what is not. I write an opinion column for a small Mother Lode newspaper, the Calaveras Enterprise. Here's a link to the paper http://www.calaverasenterprise.com/opinion/ Cheers and it was awesome to hear you for the first time.

I so enjoyed your presentation and songs at our Rotary Club this fall and want to ask if you might consider playing for my program board at Season's or after our Conference on either the evening of Feb 22nd or Feb 23rd. We will feature Pam Ronald at the Conference.
Please call to discuss details. Thank you.

Loved your show last night in GV! Hope you come visit us again soon! It was a treat to see Pete S playing too!

We went to see you sing last night. You were just as wonderful as ever. And the addition of your husband's music was great. So many beautiful songs. Thanks you for sharing your gift with the world. Barbara and Dan Spikes
