Guestbook for The Bugle Boy

Rick Vidrine - Monday, January 7th, 2008
Lane, I had such a great time this weekend. Eliza, then Terri and Lloyd. Wow, Can it get any better? Your venue is just fantastic. The respect that is given to the artists and patrons is second to none. I will be back and will let others know of your place.. Kudo's, Rick

Lane, We enjoyed your website and think you are doing a great job. Hope it will always be successful and wishing you the best of everything. Hope to see you soon one of these days.

Craig & Jocelyn - Monday, December 3rd, 2007
We had been looking at your website for weeks wishing that you weren't two hours away. We finally sucked it up and made the trip. At the end of the drive we found a perfect environment for anyone who loves live music. It was like hanging out in your own living room, except the offerings of both frosty adult beverages and finely brewed joe are better than in your own kitchen. And a "no talking" policy? Woooo hoooo! You must really love music!

Our almost perfect trip was ruined when on our drive home we figured out we had left our visa at The Bugle Boy which was 60 miles behind us. But a quick phone call had Lane assuring us she had our card and would get it back to us. Just two days later an envelop from The Bugle Boy arrived with the visa, just in time to start holiday shopping!

Many thanks to Lane and her team for the energy it must take to run a place so committed to quality live music. And much appreciation for fixing a problem we created! That's the type of service that is rare and something to be proud of. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Hi Lane,

Just wanted to let you know how VERY much I enjoyed seeing Patrice Pike last Friday night at The Bugle Boy. As always, she was awesome, but seeing her at your venue was a very special experience. This was my first trip to The Bugle Boy, but it definitely will not be my last! I loved the place--its energy, the intimate setting, and the friendly people. I can assure you I will be back often! You can guarantee that I will be there any time Patrice plays! I'll bring my "posse" next time! I'll be telling all of my friends what an incredible place you have!

See you soon!

Take care,
Beth

The Bugle Boy feels like home, no matter who is playing on stage. Thanks for bringing the warmth and incredible sounds of this place to the YouTube world. Now, we can get our Bugle Boy fix online until the next time we're able to get to LaGrange!

Lane, Pat, Pete, Charlotte,

Saturday night was our 5th visit to The Bugle Boy and, as always, we loved it! The quality of the talent, the friendliness and professionalism of all of you, and, especially, the great sound of the house has made for a great experience every time. I spread the word at every opportunity and I know I'm not the only evangalist for The Bugle Boy, so hopefully the crowds will grow.

Thanks again for a great listening room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The McCrackens - Thursday, July 19th, 2007
Lane, over the last 4 months we have visited the Bugle Boy once or twice a week. We have not been disappointed-Your talent is outstanding----Even acts we have never heard of excel. Today I looked at our Bastrop paper and saw our entertainment section highlighting you and this Saturdays's show featuring Albert and Gage. It is sbout time. Bugle Boy and your outstanding staff is finally being recognized by the rest of central Texas.

Lane; In todays hectic world, people need something to look forward to. It is attending your venues that really highlight our lives. I guess we are just damn lucky to have you and the Bugle Boy. Others will follow us as you grow--It is just the beginning, Lane---

Thank You for being there for us--Janet and Mac

Dear Lane,
I just wanted to express again, what a wonderful time we had at the Bugle Boy. The people we met were so much fun, and the artist you had was extremely talented.
Robert Frith is a true entertainer.
The friend who was with me is a very talented writer. She wrote a blog about our trip to Schulenburg and, of course, part of it is about The Bugle Boy. If you care to read it, her blog is at xanga.com and she writes under "jazzidiom", scroll down to "What a Life". (The Bugle Boy site won't allow me to post her web address.) She also posted some pictures she took.

Again, we had a great time on Friday night and plan to make the trip again some time.

Thanks for all your hard work and great hospitality!

Sincerely,

Kaylyn Groves

Your in for a treat this evening with Hamilton Loomis. Never miss him when he's in the area. Have property in your area and will check in on a regular basis.

Janet and Mac - Sunday, May 13th, 2007
Dear Lane and friends,

Its the McCrackens again--If we had a choice of Jimmy Buffet or Lary Joe Taylor coming to your Bugle Boy, it would now be LJT. After seeing him and group perform Friday night, we experienced a genuine entertainer.

The Bugle Boy is a "Laid Back" venue and so was LJT. We felt we were at Shorty's or the beach at Port A. Friday night we listened and did we ever listen. Lane--You Know how to book em'. And as our friend Gillian states, " I could come and just sit in the Buggle Boy, even if no act is there. "Yall" are appreciated--I think we now will "coast' on down to the coast. Janet and Mac

CONGRATULATIONS.

I just read the article in Texas Music (Spring 07 issue). That is one fantastic article. And you deserve the great review.

It's been a long road but I'm so happy and proud to see such great progress. The Bugle Boy is finely getting it just recognition.

Keep up the music coming. See you all soon.

Lane ,

Your place is addictive. Over the past few weeks we have seen, Sugar Bayou, Gerry O'Bierne, Storyhill, and just last friday those two grat ladies who kept us laughing along with their vocals.

We will be there Friday to see Rex perform. Lane, When we are at the Bugle Boy, we forget about the outside world. You and staff are so acconodating to all.

You are going to get tired of seeing us every week, but you can not beat it for genuine entertainment. It sure tops going to a movie for the same price.

In this day and age one has to look foreward to something--Its the Bugle Boy for us.

Michael & Gladys Penello - Monday, March 19th, 2007
Just purchased the C-D Live at The bugle boy, Enjoying the music and will look foward to future C-D Volume 2.If we are ever passing through we would be sure to put The Bugle Boy on our list of places to visit.

Judy Feigal - Tuesday, December 19th, 2006
Hi Lane! It was great to see you last Sat. night. Wish we could have seen the entire performance. I just wanted you to know that John and I love your new CD "Live At the Bugle Boy", Vol. 1! We've played it several times. What a wonderful accomplishment to you and all the others who made it possible. We're looking forward to Volume 2! We'll see you soon and Merry Christmas!!!
Love,
Judy & John

Jeanette Upshaw - Thursday, December 14th, 2006
Went to your place for the first time a few weeks ago (Steven Fromholz and Vince Bell) and really enjoyed the performances and your music venue. I'm from Houston and go to local places like the Mucky Duck and Anderson Fair as well as travelling to Crockett, TX occasionally and visiting Camp Street Cafe there where the Gillette Bros do a fantastic job (just as you have done). The small music venues are great!

Herb Agan - Monday, December 11th, 2006
Thanks for all you're doing to make things happen at the BB. All your
energy and love was so evident Saturday night with Ruthie and the great
audience. I was invited by Brett and Karen at the last minute with " you
won't be disappointed!" I was very blessed by the night...just what I
needed.

Now that I have been "to the mountain", I will surely return.

Have a great Christmas and a happy Holiday!!

Lane,
I came up for the Antique Festival in Round Top, but I have to say my best find was The Bugle Boy. I love the atmosphere, the concept, and what amazing talent. I was introduced to the wonderful talents of Sharon Bousquet, Kim Miller, and Richard Bowden. Please put me on the mailing list and I will keep checking the website. Outstanding!

Lane,
I want to thank you for having me at The Bugle Boy. I've played thousands of gigs across the U.S. and Europe but I've never played in such a unique and intimate setting. The Bugle Boy is really in a class by itself!
Please keep me in mind for your 2007 calendar.
Again, thank you and the best of luck to The Bugle Boy and to you personally.
Regards,
Whitey Conwell

Deborah Collier - Tuesday, July 11th, 2006
Was looking around on the BB website because it's been just way toooo long since my ears(& spirit) have had a fix!I am planning on planting myself at the BB soon!

Also, I wanted to say "Howdee-doodle" to Ms. Ronnie in NY! We have some great photos of you in your bright red top hat with your red lipstick on, the night of the Dr. Kracker debut. Also some great photos with THE Dr. Kracker, for you, Lane. (Great photo of Roy, too!) I'll make my way to one of those photo copy machines with my CD and send ya'll some prints. (or hand deliver?)

All the Love and Light~~Debbie (Duck) Collier w/Tres Lunas

Roni - Sunday, July 9th, 2006
HOWDY!!!!!!!! This is Roni the loveable barista in Manhattan baby! I just wanted to say hi to all my friends down south. To tell Pete he's still weird, Pat S we're still red headed step children, and Lane to keep that tiny corner of La Grange insane, but most importantly to tell you that I love you all and miss you and this 14 year old doesnt forget you.Also to any newbies reading this the bugle boy IS the hippest, coolest, swankest, most totally awesome spot in texas and you better get yourself down there before the show is sold out and you miss all the beer, coffe, jokes, music, fun, and all around good time.
over and out.

Truly yours,
Roni Sanford
