Guest Book

Robert Daoust - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebec, Canada: Hey David!! Great interview on CBC's Saturday Night Blues last night. Nice renditions of those 2 songs. Maybe one day Holger will tape a portion of a live electric show to feature... looking forward to December... Robert TIT-GUY just turned 50.
PG fans - of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada: Once again...missed your show on CBC! Bad advertising or just not hearing things right? Any shows on the Island in December?
Toontown Sally - rommel45@hotmail.com of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: Dave, The suit people at Moores miss your witty banter. Women with a lack of facial fat yearn for your return. Bottles of Corona have been left dusty. Colin James has been skulking around muttering about selling his soul to the devil for collegen injection treatments, and we need you to convince him to leave. Help!
Quote from Stevie Ray Vaughan -: Since SRV is one of your icons, thought you might appreciate his wise words:
"Ya know, right now the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all I thank God I'm alive today, and I mean that.
I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing. It took me quiet a while to find out that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you.
You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourself. So that we will know that they are around in the first place.
Its a big world out there; with enough pain and misery in it; without me going around and helping it out by hurting myself; and consequently, those that care about me.
What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are here for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me ?"
Robert E Daoust - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebec, Canada: David, I hope everything is cool with you. I just finished checking your touring dates and plan to catch your shows at the Rainbow in Ottawa and possibly in Montreal at Cafe Campus as well. Keep up the crusade... Robert
Dawn - dcroghan@telus.net of Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada: Its always such a pleasure to see talented blues musicians come our way. Thanks to great folks like Jim C. we will hopefully see much more of you. Try not to forget us little folks when you are touring the world. My son is aspiring to be a famous guitar player and as long as you are working as hard as you are he will always have someone to aspire to. Thanks for the sticker xox vive le blues
Trevor Freed - cheddar@hotmail.com of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada: Hey David, I met you at the blues festival. It was a pleasure seeing you guys. All of our hard work definately paid off when you guys hit the stage. Good stuff! FISH ON!!!
Whitehorse fan - Yukon, Canada: Gogo... we so look forward to your show in Sooke this December... PS - If you could get some glamour shots for your next album cover like Diana Krall's latest, I'm sure you could bump her out of the charts! Some oiled-up leather pants shots... it'd work.
Someone - likenyou@hotmail.com in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada: Love to watch an artist live and breathe his music as he plays. Don't think people realize your inner breath. Blew my mind. I saw you in Nanaimo at the Queens. Never change your gift.
Julian St. Martin - jstm70@hotmail.com of Ottawa, Canada: Hey dude, I see you're coming for some shows in this neck of the woods. Hope things are goin well for ya! Gonna try to hit in Saskatoon as well. I'll be there around the same time frame. Skate or Die!

Ed Note: Information has been sent along to Steve...
Toontown Sally - Rommel45@hotmail.com of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: Hola Brother. I just dropped by to check on the dates so I can properly prepare for your arival. I've already got the Bevis sound clips on disc, a few vaugely faggy waiters lined up to impress (remember the beponytailed guy at St. Tropiez?), mint copies of the entire Edgar Winters catalog and a bottle of Talisker. Now all I need is the video collection of Lidsville episodes, and I'll be as prepared for you arrival as Micheal Jackson is preparded to be classified as a whole new species . Bring fresh pictures of your little family and the new digs. I've got to go finish my Max Webster / Aldo Nova / Toronto mixed tape. See you soon!
Ron and Karen - doucette@mars.ark.com of Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada: Hey Dave... Sure loved your show here. It is always a treat to see you. And your new band, The Junkyard Angels, were just super. Love to see you and Gerry Barnum together! Lots of great feedback from everyone on the island. Hope you guys had as great a time as you gave us. Thanks again Dave from all the people of Hornby. You are our favorite Rocker - Ron and Karen
Duris Maxwell - duris@gulfislandsgiude.com of White Rock, British Columbia, Canada: Hi David: Just wanted to say again what an honour it was to finally play with you on the island. I'm still "sunburned" from your brilliant talent!! But bring it on, buddy!!!!!! The next time we hook-up I'll have to give you my magic formula for cooking prawns. If you can't get a date after that, you're officially hooped! :)
Karen of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: Sorry I missed you last night at Buds. Hope you come back soon!
A.J. Gould - kibbi@sympatico.ca of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Dear David - Just wanted to thank you again for appearing on Breakfast at the NewRO in Ottawa. You were fantastic! You are a very talented man so keep up the good work. I sincerely hope you had a good time on the show. I know it was really early in the morning but you did manage to perform like a true Canadian. Keep in touch ;-)
A.J. - Floor Director - Breakfast at the NewRO
Doug McGiffin - dmcgiffin@fgsd5.ca of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: In reviewing your Guest Book along with following your successes over the years, it seems you have matured into a greatly talented performer. I remember the days when you first played Winnipeg and were paid in rolled coins. I hope that we get the chance to again witness your excellent style and exhuberance in Winnipeg. Great to see you are doing so well and we think of you often.
Sly - charsyl@videotron of Cantley (near Ottawa), Ontario, Canada: David is the world's Greatest Unknown Blueser-Slinger. Or is He well-known now? Keep rockin the blues - www.dirtyblues.com
Willy Pichler - pichlerw@rogers.com of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: We (my wife and I) caught both shows of the Back 2 Back Guitar Attack show at the Rainbow this past weekend. We are blessed with some of the finest guitar players in the country here, e.g. Tony D and Trevor Finley, but unfortunately, they don't play MY kind of blues very often. Your version of "This is a Man's World" has instantly become one of my favourite tunes. The last ime I was that impressed was when Eddie Vaan Shaw rocked the house at the Rainbow after Bluesfest 2000. WOW!
Robert E Daoust - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebec, Canada: Thanks Dave, for the GREAT music you played out here in the east on this small tour... Take it easy at X-MAS and take some time off to relax and come back in the spring or summer with another excellent recording... By the way the band was really HOT !! adios Robert
Al Barnes - NutZ@videotron.ca of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Hi David, I enjoyed the show at the Rainbow but I have 1 complaint. As much as I like Tony D, I would REALLY like to see you do a full show. I know you have the music so PLEASE come back and do a full show.
Scott Riddell - wallcrawler22@msn.com of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada: Hey Dave! Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and say hi. Halfway To Memphis is great, yet another solid album under your belt. Keep'em coming. Can't wait for you to come back to Vic. The last gig at Lucky was a little short.
By the way Dave... thank you. You're my inspiration for my own writing and singing. Your music means a lot to me. Happy holidays.
Ron Modjeski - ronmod@mb.sympatico.ca of Beausejour, Manitoba, Canada: We have a private music fest every year, August 16, 17 & 18, and we were wandering if you want to play at it? www.transcanadaweb.com/greatwoods
Hans Groot Wesseldijk - hgw@chello.nl of Apeldoorn, the Netherlands: Hi David, just visited your site, because i was curious to see if i could expect another great show in Holland... Hope you will play here again soon! I saw you twice in Apeldoorn at the Bluescafe (Small in size, great in atmosphere) where you played amazingly, even when you were sitting on a parked bike OUTSIDE the cafe! I will never forget that. I bought a signed CD at both occasions. Now i see that you have released 4 cd's i hope i can expand my collection, again from your own (very talented) hand. Greetings and all the best to you from overseas!
Adam Gogo - symbience@hotmail.com of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: David, out of curiousity, I was wondering what your family background is. I was born in Port Alberni, and I do not know much of mine. I figure since we have the same last name, there may be some sort of relation. Please email me if you feel inclined to further this. During my life, I have found that many people have asked me if we are related. Unfortunately, I have to say no, because I have never met you nor have heard you name ever raised in the family.
Kristie - krisd_666@hotmail.com of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada: My ex is a slide player and admires you. He got me into playin the blues. Love your stuff. Maybe one day you'll hear me cover you LOL. Good job - keep getting better
Staci - staciis@shaw.ca of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada: I saw David play at the jazz Festival here last summer... and I only have one word to sum up his performance... WOW! He is a great performer, and really interacts with his audience, which you don't see a lot of these days. Would see him again NO PROBLEM! Hope you come out again this year, David! Looking forward to seeing you there again! --Staci (0:`,
Sherry Gogo - sherry@leedsandgrenville.com of Ontario, Canada: Hi David, I called no one was home. Hope things are going well. sherry
Roxanne - roxyz2@shaw.ca of Saskatoon, , Saskatchewan, Canada: Hey you groovy cat! It's been a few years since I saw you last. This town don't rock no more... (Sorry I missed your last show.)
Robert E Daoust - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebac, Canada: On Feb 2nd, check out a live segment on CBC's Saturday Night Blues by David Gogo recorded last August... Things are rolling... Dave - The crusade goes on... Robert
D.S. - of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada: What time is the CBC show? I always miss it! Thanks :)
Robert E Daoust - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebec, Canada: Saturday Night Blues is on at 23:05 out here in the EAST might be different out WEST... Robert
Sherrie - shriyogamama@canada.com of Penticton, British Columbia, Canada: Hey Dave! Heard you tonight on Saturday Night Blues! Sounds great, loud and rockin', as expected! Starved for live music here in the Okanagan, we'll try to catch you when we come to the Island last weekend of March! A little tricky to travel now with our FOUR girls! We'll be in Saskatoon this summer, I don't see it on your tour schedule though...Cheers, Sherrie and Yves
Darrell Peddle - Klipnotica@hotmail.com of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada: What is your oldest giutar? where did you get it? how much did it cost? please email me?
Maj Tom Mitchell - tamitch@shaw.ca of Comox, British Columbia, Canada: I can't believe my luck - I've been an electic blues fan for 30 years & have discovered David in my own back yard! I just wander over to the Edge Water Marine Pub on Comox Harbour on Wed nights where he often plays in the weekly Blues Jam with 2 local guitar gems - Todd Butler & Doug Cox. After a belly full of hot wings, Kokanee Beer and a night of the blues I stumble home fully satified. Also saw his Acoustic Show in Courtenay last week - excellent! It's also nice to be able to purchase David's CDs from him personally. Glad to have met you David & hope that you continue coming up to the Comox Valley regularly.
Mark Peters - mrpeters@telus.net of Calgary, Alberta, Canada: Hey Dave, had to move off the rock on van isle. Can't get into this c+w in Calgary. Born November 27, same day as Jimi. I've been in a purple haze since moving. When are you peppering your shoe out to Calgary? Say hi to your uncle on Milton St.
S.C.O.T.S - of BC, Canada: "Baby...can I get that there snack cracker from underneath of your pointy boots?" Oh yeah...any news on northern shows yet? ;)
Debbie Brunette - d.brunette@sympatico.ca of North Bay, Ontario, Canada: Hi David. I saw you playing for the first time at a local bar here (Wylders) about 10 years ago and quite a few times after that. I' m happy to see you are doing so well. Do you still play Northern Ontario? Maybe not Wylders but perhaps a bigger venue like the Capital Centre or the Heritage Festival in August? Alot of tourists visit for the Heritage Festival every year ( Tom Cochrane, Blue Rodeo Kim Mitchell etc have already played for it.) We are big fans of your music up here. Could you let me know if and when you will be playing up this way again. Or even if you play in Ottawa...would gladly take a trip there if I knew in advance. Anyway, take care and keep up the great work! Deb
The People Under the Stairs - sillyrabbit@telus.net of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada: oh hellooo.. just cruising the net and thought we'd stop by. Hope all is groovy, and "the woman" and Linky are keepin it REAL. lol... maybe we will visit soon if I can peel myself off the couch... bye

CJ - celindarice@canada.com of British Columbia, Canada: Was just reading through the notes from others (from all over the world). The note from Britain hit the mark I Should Have Lied brings chills on tape, in person -OOOOOOHHHHH hooooo baby. The best part is when David actually enters the audience, playing as he goes! Gives me chills just thinking about it. David just keeps better with age. He's sensational, as a person, and as an artist! Luv ya David. Miss you, see you at the Queen's!
Dan Silljer - dbsilljer@sk.sympatico.ca of Regina, Saskatchewan Canada: First heard you on Holger's show last summer. Picked up your new CD as soon as I saw it in the store. GREAT!! You are indeed one of Canada's own guitar slingers. Have looked at your tour schedule and see you playing in Saskatoon, but not Regina. As marketing director for Delta Blues Association of Canada in Regina, am always looking for someone new to play at our mid-winter blues festival, first weekend in March. Am sure our patrons would be knocked out!!! Thanks - Dan
Glen Yorga - gyorga@telusplanet.net of Calgary, Alberta, Canada: Hi Dave, I just checked the tour schedule and it looks like Alberta is going to be rocking in June. I look forward to seeing you again. Who's going to be in the band?
Guff - mmcguff@mail.island.net of Prague, Czech Republic: Hm, Euro tour they say...
Let me know if you're passing through; it would be nice to give you the local beer tour after all these years. If you need a gig in Prague let me know and I'll see what I can do. Guff
Mike - mike@mlbar.freeserve.co.uk of Warwickshire, England: I bought Dine Under the Stars simply because I read somewhere that when Walter decides to leave the top guitar slot, a certain David Gogo will take over.
My god, were they right or what!? This live CD has just about the most passionate guitar playing I have ever heard. Hoochie Coochie just smoulders, and Sweet Little Angel is the best cover I have heard.
CD's apparantly never wear out eh? Mine has to be close to being played to death. Thanks a million David, you're welcome in UK anytime.
Delicado's Staff and Customers - delicado@island.net of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada: Hi David.... we play your music all the time at the deli. The place starts to hop when you come on... good comments and positive energy man... love Jo and Wes

Jeff Thompson - jefft@incentre.net of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Hey Dave, Sorry I missed your show in Edmonton. I was nursing a bad neck. Don't ask me how??!!!! It's always a great time when you're in town. I love the Depeche Mode cover. It's like they suck but you don't. Have a good tour you bunghole!!!!!
Barb and Nancy - ndumont@telusplanet.net of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Hey You: It was awesome too have met you and the boys at Lynn and Gregg's last Saturday afternoon. Boy, the moon was sure high that night heehee....and watching you play was even better. Your talent and focus working that guitar was a pleasure to be a part of. Hope to get a chance to hear you again soon. Try and keep in touch. The girls that get better lookin at closing time. Barb and Nancy.....
Monica Jordan - comedymonica@yahoo.ca of Calgary, Alberta, Canada: Hey Dave. It was a blast hearing you play at the King Eddy. My orange shoes were tapping the blues. I love the new albumn and especially Personal Jesus, I can't seem to get that one out of my head. Take care baby, Monica.
Eoin Kenny - kenrod@telusplanet.net of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Saw you playing at A&B Sound. Liked what I heard. A lot!! Bought Skeleton Key. Love it. Wish I'd caught you at the Sidetrack. Wonder why I've never heard your music before. Got to be the chemicals. Rock steady!
Simon Says and Shawnna Kashmere - mmpoppa1@hotmail.com of Duncan, British Columbia, Canada: Heya you. Why dont you do an outdoor concert for everyone so your younger fans can come see you as well? Shawnna, my daughter is a big fan and can't see you in bars. She's only 8 years old you know. LOL... Keep rockin and thanks for the great music!!
Al Barnes - nutz@videotron.ca of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Hi David, hear you're doing the Ottawa Bluesfest. If I take the time to bring my acoustic, will you sign it for me???
Robert - rob_daoust@hotmail.com of Masson-Angers, Quebec, Canada: Hey... David, people missed you at Tremblant this year. They were quite impressed last year. I will catch your shows in Ottawa in the fall... Adios (by the way I met 3 of your buddies at Tremblant, had drinks and talked about you...) #10
Scott - scottm@snuneymuxw.ca of Snuneymuxw, British Columbia Canada: Hey Big Daddy! Nice stuff. It was really good to hear you at the Q's at the release party. Stirred up the old ghosts and the Guiness induced reality was in focus so as not to block or distort the true spirituality of your fingerplay.
I was hoping to bump into you as every time I listen (5x's/day) to the White Stripes (especially track 5) I want to play it for you. Check it. July 18.
Dan Wrappe - thelateshift@griffiti.net of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada: Hello Mr. Gogo, I thought I'd take the time to write to tell u that your guitar skills are limited to the blues pentatonic scale. This saddens me. Also if David Gahn had actually succeeded in killing himself via overdose, he would be rolling over in his grave due to your vocals on Personal Jesus (a.k.a. the worst cover ever). ed - Dan, Gogo thanks you for your thoughtful entry and wonders if you are available to hang with him. Your understanding of the blues genre and your ability to understand the emotions of the pre-dead intrigue him. He is also worried about your depression. ;)
Bill Wagner - ConfessinTheBlues@yahoo.com of Lincoln, NE, USA: A visiting friend turned me on to Halfway To Memphis. I co-host a Friday PM drive-time BLUES show on KZUM (WWW.KZUM.ORG) called Confessin The Blues. I played several tracks and it was a big hit. Keep it rollin' and don't forget...
Confessin' Starts The Weekend Right!! Mr Bill
Mark Hamlyn - maphamlyn@hotmail.com of Alberta, Canada: David, Caught a preview of your album on CBC, and then heard Personal Jesus on our local CKYX 97.8 FM and had to buy. Just got it 20 minutes ago in the mail. WOW. Can't begin to say how much I enjoy this record. A great, great listening experience. Keep up the excellent work. Take care, Mark...
Kelly ("Doc") - pikachoolee@hotmail.com of Seattle, Washington, USA: Hi Gogo... Was digging through old photos, found the ones from Cuba and thought I would look you up to see if you were still playing. Wish you got down to the states more often so I could hear you play again. I will have to find your CD's somewhere. I am very interested in what you wrote about this time. Best of luck... All My Love... Doc
Andrew Oye - andrewoye@shaw.ca of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada: Hey Dave, I think the French guy said it best when he said............yezzzzzzzz.
Faron Hermanson - belairfaron@aol.com of Strathmore, Alberta, Canada: David... My workmate and I go to the King Eddy often. We saw you and Tony D recently and my buddy said it was the first time he had goosebumps when you were walking around playing slide with the shooter glass. Outstanding guitar. Bought a couple CDs from you but you were sold out of Halfway to Memphis. I ordered it today. Enjoyed talking with you afterwards about the Montreal Canadiens - imagine a Nanaimo boy being a Habs fan. You signed the disc covers with #10 - Guy Lafleur has always been my idol also! Just wanted to say I love listening to your guitar and wish you every success. Come back to Calgary soon.
