Dear Norm,

Yes, we did receive the replacement (Come & Rejoice! CD), and it is great!  We love it.  I am mailing you a check today...  Could we get the new "Tomato Pickin" one?  (Did I get that right?)  We love Christian music, but we also love all kinds of music and would like one other than the Christian music.  My husband loves to hear your banjo.  I just love it all.  Thank you so much.  If there are additional postage charges, please just let me know.  Who plays the piano?  (My darling wife, Trish.)

God bless your family and your ministry!

Farnum Family...

Thanks so much for your music at Cowboy Lee's camp.  It was heaven on earth for us.  As you know it is not just the music but getting a chance to meet your family and have fun with you -- the time at the lake was priceless.  As promised, attached are photos of your family's time at the camp.  If you would like a printable quality of any, let me know.

May God continue to bless your family and ministry.  I believe there is a great need for your kind of ministry in America.  Let us know if there is anything we can do to support you.

Hello Farnum Family...

We met in Branson at the Clown Jam.  My name is Shan Foster and little Matthew sat with me while you played.  (I had a silver shiny hat).  I am so glad to have met you.  Your family is so sweet.  The Lord is really using you all for his glory.  Thank you so much for letting us join you for supper at your table.  Never stop smiling and continue your great work.  You will be rewarded in Heaven for Eternity.

Hope to hear from you,

We enjoyed your music so much (at the Jefferson City Farmers' Market).  And my husband really appreciated the short banjo lesson.  Could I leave my email address so that if you are going to be in the Jeff City area we could come to hear you?  (Yes!  We've added you to our email list...)

Thanks so much.

Thank you for being a part of the 2008 Gospel Bluegrass Jamboree.

We appreciated you being here and your music.  We hope we can ask you to come again.  We enjoy having family groups.  They add so MUCH.  So glad to see the youth -- singing and praising god.

Thanks for coming.  It was all good.

Hello Hannah,

I really enjoyed your Fiddle tunes!  I have heard other fiddlers over there (Snyder Park) but none of them played the old fashion tunes.  My husband learned to play music when he was about 10 or 12 years old.  He played the electric guitar -- also the acoustic guitar.  He never took lessons; he played by ear.

I hope you will enjoy the tape.  He played the fiddle, acoustic & electric guitar, then took it to a studio & had it put on one tape.  He also sang & played lead on the guitar.  He played for Senior Citizens & Nursing Homes.

Keep playing!

We hope you enjoy this copy of the recent (Youth in Bluegrass) contest at Silver Dollar City.  It was such a joy for us to be around people who seemed to share some common interests, a love for the Lord, family & music!

Hi Norm & Trish –-

Just wanted to let you know how very much I enjoyed your shows at Silver Dollar city this week-end.  All your children are precious and so talented, too.  My husband, John, is looking forward to meeting you.

I called the program director of the Bluegrass Monday Concert Series at KASU.  He coordinates the bluegrass shows here in town that I told you about.  I've enclosed recent programs with contact and other information you might be interested in.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon.  Hope all of you will be performing at SDC in the fall.

Take care and God Bless You.

Dear Folks,

What a great time we had last Saturday night as you graced our stage with your family.  We enjoyed every minute, and the audience did, too.  Diana said you were also wonderful guests at her Prairie Crossing Bed & Breakfast.  Thank you for coming and sharing your time with us.

Enclosed is a video of the program that night and also CD's that I told Daniel I would send to him.  He has a promising future with that rich voice of his.

Sincerely,

Dear Farnum Family,

Just a note to say Thank You for helping us at the concert... and wanted to let you know that $1,000.00 was raised & presented to the Pregnancy Care Center for the Abstinence Program.  Please pray that the books that will be purchased & given to school children will change the attitudes of their families if they are wrong & reinforce them if they believe God's way is right...

Sincerely in Christ,

Hi Norm and Trish,

Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment yesterday.

We had a Gray/Campbell Farmstead board meeting today.  Everyone there said they loved having you and your family there.  Jane, our president, says your oldest son is the next Garth Brooks.  I don't know if you think that is a compliment or not, but she meant it for one.  She thinks he is special!

Thanks again.  I am looking forward to hearing you (again) soon.  Let me know where you will be.

God bless.

Hello Ya'll!

I saw your wonderful family today at Bass Pro Shops... I was truly TOUCHED by the gift God has given your family in music.

I was the one from "Detroit" and the camera and phone... ha...

Anyway... I would like to order a CD from you.

My wife home schools, has 4 children and our 15 year old son is a very well talented guitarist.

I knew you were a Christian family when I walked by and was intrigued how your family entertained the guests...

God bless your ministry and hope we can have you in Michigan one day!

Dear Farnums,

We are so glad that you could come play at the festival & visit with us for a couple of days!  Thank you for participating in GospelGrass - you all really added a lot to that day & I know many people enjoyed your music.

Norm, thanks for being such a great emcee & for doing the banjo workshop.  That was such a help!

Love you all,

Yo, this is Roger over at Mountain Music Shop...  It’s got to be a real kick in the tail to have a bunch of kids...  and then all of a sudden you play instruments...  and then all of a sudden you got them playin’ instruments...  and then all of a sudden that stuff you made’s makin’ music with you!  That’s got to be kind of a cool thing!

Anyway, I listened to your album, dude, and I like it.  I kind of like the banjo playin’ on Battle of New Orleans...  it’s my favorite...  Blackberry Blossom is one of my favorite overall songs.  But I always like that Homegrown Tomatoes song.

It’s all pretty good.  It sounds all very 'family-bandy'.  And it’s got a certain charm to it.  It’s very Ozarks.  I like it.  That’s my review.  It’s good, so…  Bye!

The preceding telephone message was received after sharing our Tomato Pickin’ CD with our friend, Roger Garret, who owns and operates a local Branson music store...  We found it quite entertaining so thought we'd share it with y'all!

Hi Y’all,

Thanks so much for attending the Missouri League of the South meeting...  Your music was a blessing and most entertaining.  However, even more of a blessing to me personally was the testimony of your lives when not on the stage.  It was obvious that yours is a family that loves the Lord and each other.  You are a living witness as to what it means to be in the center of God’s will.

Thanks again for making the state meeting such a success.

God Bless Y’all,

Bob Mills
