Hey Amy,

The songs on your new demo are as amazing as the stuff on _Heroine_; how do you keep doing it? Hope you don't mind, I "borrowed" "Aaron's Song" at Alexa's open mic. With luck I'll catch you performing some time soon.
Marc

Hey! Just checking out your website for the first time. Good stuff. I had no idea you have been playing so long. Looking forward to the show. See you then. Patrick

Hey there!!!! Cup of _ O E

Couldn't stay tonight but always enjoy coming by and checking out you and all the other folks. And, as Marlon Brando learned from Rod Steiger, once upon a time, 'kid, this ain't your night', to which Brando replied "well excusssse me! Many thanks for having this open. C u soon.

Hi Amy, thought about stopping by and tell you that you were great on Friday at Sidewalk. Either slowing down and having some fun, or giving everything to find out who you are...you are on an inspiring journey and you are beautiful!

Hey. Saw ya on the 7 train goin out to pick up your dad. Evesdropped on your convo. Checked out your site/music. Good stuff. Love this "Excuses" song. Hope all goes well for ya! Check out our site about our baseball trip! Sign our book, too!

you are a great talent. your site radiates positive creative energy. i wish you much success. may you enjoy peace and prosperity always.

Thanks again for the use of your guitar at your open mic. I had fun and it made up for a week that didn't go to well performance wise. Also, I think the lottery is a good idea. It's a relief not to have to gnaw at the bone, aka the signup, just to get a piece.

Just thought you were very inspirational =) XxX

come on Amy isn't time for an update?!!!

Amy,
I'm online looking for open mics in NYC and came across your site. Your voice is so pure. Keep up the great work! See u at DTUT one of these Wednesdays.

Peace - Raymond Todd

where oh where has amy gone?

gawd i want you.

Nice music.

Thanks.
Joe

thank you Amy :-) You have the words and thoughts in your head - let the music seek out the ache. See your paragraph 3. Write. Live the moment. Reveal. Repeat. And forever let your voice sing.

Hey Amy. I just heard some of your material. You are amazing... great voice and great talent. Keep up the great work.

congrats on the east village pad. you scenester, you.

just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you. drop me a line sometime. i miss you.

Hi Amy
I'm seeking to contact an old friend - Gregg Weiss! Can you help me please?!

this sucks - another day without a diary entry :-| Write more, stay inspired, you rock, let us all who can't live the life you are living see it through your eyes...

Amy Hills is the Mo Fumpin Nastiest.
G'd up like Kenny.

Hi Sister it has been a long while since I visited your site. So sorry. But once again I am reminded of how cool you are and how lucky I am to have you as a sister even though you live so far away now.

You should get the Ben Lee cd Awake is the New Sleep it is really really good.

I love you bunches.

Your Little Sister

hi amy! its the shakespears from SC & NJ. just wanted to say hi. hi! were going to come see one of your shows soon.... all the best, and happy new year!

Re: previous post

change that sp to so, and consider capitalizing the G in grace.

girl child, always in a mess won't do for ya. The way you sing your songs is the way we all try to live our lives; on point, ready for changes and challenges. it's sp simple and grace to you for showing it

Hey Amy,
You are the best and have a great singing voice!!!

Sounds amazing!!!!!! I am so proud of you for living your dream. I was reading something today that said something like...why wait to do something that you want to do for a later time, say something that you want to say, tell someone what you feel? Just do it Now!!!!That's what you have done and that makes me smile. Thank you for having the courage to live your life!!!!!

Hey Amy,
Lauren O'Connell just sent me your link! I'm ordering the CD for myself for Christmas. I wish you the best!!!

May bop by tomorrow at DTUT to see you dear. Hope you have the cookies ready this time! -Charlie

god i love you - keep smilin' mama!

Just wanted to say I love your cd Heroine. I grew up down the street from Aaron and the song is really special. Stay real.

hey doll,
you are beautiful, let's hang out man. i like the band KISS do u?
u remind me of paul stanley, the way your songs are so sensitive like his. i play guitar too man. bye for now. XOXOXO

My name is that too

Hey cool rockstar! Email me your phone number so we can catch up and I can wish you a happy birthday! I miss you!!!

Jessica

I love you

Amy,
Thanks for the pics and samples via your site. I'm interested in booking, but encountering an error with your contact form. Please e-mail when you read this post.

--dave

amy, your show last night was beautiful. my friends and i were impressed, and honored to listen. thanks for the free show. and the cd kicks ass. stay strong. michael

hey amy, i love your stuff, and your site. see ya at open mic. thanks for all.

Hey, where is Bluefish hiding these days??? I used to love seeing those guys at your open mic?

Hey Amy, you might not know me, but I'm a good friend of Timothy Dark. I think we met before but not sure. Anyways I luv the website looks great, I'm currently working on my on album so I'll probably see ya real soon for open mic. Wish ya all the best and maybe if ya like my stuff we can make some music together. God Bless, and all the best.........Sunny

Hey Amy and everyone else in New York! I really miss being around you all, but I will be there September 21 for about 4 days. Love to you all and I will see you while I'm in town!

hey beautiful! i wanted you to know i got the cds and i have played them over and over and over... again, i want to thank you from my heart for your hard work in organizing the events to honor aaron. it was an amazing way to celebrate a life that touched us all. i am sending you all my heart - ME

Heroine is a great CD! Listened to it everyday this week. Awesome stuff Amy!

i remember a brother of mine screaming at me "it's just disappearing into the ether!!" this was about my blog i think. i think maybe you appear in my blog somewhere if it's still around somewhere... like i ain't read beaudrillard cos i'm a steppenfetchit? i haven't considered the qualities of prayer? disappearing into the ether is where it's at. those silly simps last night all adither with "what is to be done?" the same shit we always do. disappear some more shit into the ether and walk on. you disappear me as you want child but you might want to save copies for your files. here i give you absolute copyright to this piece. this piece of ethereal graffitti absolutely forever belong to amy hills i do swear it. you may be more marketable in the short run child, but over the long haul i got some artistic juju you can't muster. ...i don't hardly save anything any more... i like the idea of things disappearing... and actually that's pretty much exactly the juju you can't muster yet...

black boxes are a hell of a lot more happening than bars. selling beer is a sorry way to make a living... me, i'm thinking pretty hard about going to live in afghanistan which sounds a lot more my cup of tea than new york which has gotten pretty lame. but if i was a young person like you i'd think about black boxes and kids and dogs. me i have always found playing for dogs to be the best. and upper east side dogs got a surprisingly high disposable income.

Saw you with Duende last night, really enjoyed your performance!

Amy,

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. You were beautiful, the songs were beautiful and the whole night was wonderful! Thank you for making that all possible and including us all. It was an honor to be there...

With love, joe

You are my Wednesday night.

Hello My Darling .....

You Are The best !!!! xx

I just listened to your entire CD, which I got free at your Sidewalk show a week or so ago, the one with Chicken and Aaron's Song. I am at work, in a .com office in the Chelsea market, in my f-ing cubicle with my headphones on, and I was made to feel. I really like your music. Ever heard of Paul Curreri? He's good like you are, in a South Carolina, well he's Virginia, way. But where is the Door is a door is a door song I heard at the show?

hey amy. the downloads on yr supersonic site won't work for me. could you please send me some mp3 samples via email? thanks so much. and do you know if christopher taylor has a new website? christophersmusic.com isn't working...

i dey brother!

Hey girl! I love your website. I can't wait to hear your cd's. By the way, I'm getting married in May. I always knew you would become something wonderful. You've always had a beautiful voice that lit up a room. Talk to you soon!

Love,
Betsy Arthur (from Florence)

You should teach other musicians just how a great open mic night is run!

Great Job, Amy!

It was Great to talk to you. I hope and pray all the best for you in all your upcoming adventures.
p.s. If your ever back home and need a soundman give me a call.

Amy, you always seem to play that "Chicken" song at DTUT. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, but don't you have other great songs to play?

Amy, the updated site looks fantastic!
I particluarily like the photo galleries.
Great stuff.

This is a great fun site. Love the pictures and everything. You also run the DTUT open mic exceptionally. Congratulations!

Amy - Joe directed me to your web site this morning! It looks great, I've been listening to your CD at home the last couple of days, keep up the great work, love the lyrics! Can't wait to see you again over the holidays, hope all is well in the big APP. --Kelly and Matt Snipes

Hey Amy, what's up. Site looks cool. Nice to see you're enjoying living the everyday life. I can really resonate with your latest diary entry about stepping outside your comfort zone and moving to new places. Well, not to the extent you did, I mean, I just traded one small town for another, after all. Whenever you find yourself in the Charlotte area, get at me so I can buy you a beer or something. Still got that frog fetish? Peace

Hi girl, I saw your folks today at my father-in-law's 80th b'day. Your folks were bragging on you and told me about this site. I'll be back. Hope you are well.
Love, Grace

Hey Girl!
The new site looks fabulous! The pictures are awesome and it is so great to be able to see you and hear you. I can't wait for the new CD and hey I think it is high time you play a gig in Boston.
Love,
Linda

what's up amy! my mom told me that you had a website now...i was up there labor day weekend hanging out with a friend in brooklyn and should have called you and susie- i thought you guys were still in the city and we were being really lazy just hanging out...glad you are happy these days- call me if you are ever in athens/atlanta...

damn you've got some spam filter. i'm usually not a box filler but for you...phone/email9175139958@mobile.att.net.
you're site's superb but that's no surprise.take care.

Congrats kid!! Beer on me next time I'm in NYC. Keep it going, you're only young once.

Hi Amy -
Stumbled upon your NEW site - looks great! Love the design. Haven't been able to make the open mic for a while - hope all is well :)
~Allison

Hi Amy. You rock me. Let's gig together in New Jersey weekend after next, k? Oh, and if I click the button below, do I really have to submit? Please advise. Thanks. -Charlie

Hi Amy -

I am glad that you finally have some pictures on your site that show everyone else how pretty you have always looked to me. You deserve the world, just take it.

Love,

your non-rock star sister

WOW!! You really are a ROCK STAR.

Hey great site! Can't wait to get the CD :) See you at "work"

Amy I am so proud of you. One day I will be able to say :"She was my roommate!!"

You are phenomenal - I am in awe. Thank you for having the courage to go after your dream. Keep dreaming and writing and singing and picking - it is all good. Mom

Yeah I know Ive signed already. But This site looks so fabulous now I had to sign again. Great job Amy and Sam!

Maybe if I ever write another song worthy of playing I will come up to DTUT and seeya sometime. In the meantime keep having fun :) and write me if you ever get bored(I doubt it but ya never know).

Loved listening to the MP3 - you are certainly growing as an artist. My favorites were "Aaron's Song" and "Can't Stand Up". Wish we could have made it the last time you played Cumberland's. We'll be looking for your new CD.

the site looks amazing. congratulations amy!

I can't believe I found this site . . . wonderful I remember when you where building my Othello set at Yale. Congrats.

Does anyone know when "Bluefish" will be returning to DTUT??? Those guys are the serious hein!!!

Scott B says Mike F stole you away from him while he was away. Mike F says no way. I was too wasted to tell and had just been doused in Kool-Aid. What really happened that night in Keller basement?

hey amy, i loved your show last night. it was great to see you up there. i can't wait for your new cd.

lots of love & luck

boy do I miss you!!!!! Still going well, you know...Come home soon. How about today!!!

Hello Amy.... nice site. keep me posted on all your currents. talk soon.

Never be afraid to ask for help. Something tells me you're not. Ask the right people.
Sorry for your loss...with all my heart...
Your light brightens the room...Shine on!!!

Amy,
What a cool site. The video is so slick! You run one of the best open mic nights in the business. Thank you...
Zach Fischer

as a friend of aaron's and a fellow guitar picker, i really enjoyed your site.
best of luck.

Love your stuff. Love reading your diary...Love who you are...stay that way and grow....

Coming home for a little visit I hear???? Amy's Back!

hellooo amy, i liked your song tonight at parkside. thanks for letting me play the open slot. yeah i want to play in august! oh boy that will be nice. weellll i guess i'll be seeing you around soon. hooray for summer!

hey there amy,how's your sky hanging? well, i hope. guess what? still stuck in my head, yep "Baby" is that addictive. i'm gonna learn how to play that on the ol' guitar later just so i can channel all of it from me in what will probably be a massive sweaty state of convulsion. beautiful.

i hope recording goes well for you,
i'm going to try that myself soon, a few more live shows first, and then i will, i think.

it's been a blast so far to rock it out at your open mic gig every week. a great atmosphere.

i read your entry for last wed, with the kids that were to my right. it was a straaaaange evening.

hope to see you again next week. love lots.

You can't leave me hanging like that...cup of --- is all that i could possibly guess. What??????????????? By the way everyone was crazy about you in Charleston. Can't wait for the cd. I know it will be great!

Amy, all of your old boyfriends in Chas. got together and played rock paper scissors to see who would represent at your gig, and I won! I hope your friends in the NORTH know how lucky they are. Keep livin' the dream.

Amy-
My ROCKSTAR, my friend, my ex-boss have I mentioned how proud I am of you. Keep doing what you love and don't let anyone tell you you can't!
Love,
Linda

Well, you sure have come a long way from teaching us the importance of the Amy Bracket! Seems like it's all working out for ya, and I couldn't be happier for you. Sorry I'm missing you in Charleston this weekend.... wish I'd known sooner! Email or call soon. Miss and love ya!
BROOKE

AMY, AMY, AMY,
FIRST OF ALL, WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOU SING YEARS AGO, I KNEW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT OTHERS WOULD SEE AND LOVE THE TALENT THAT YOU BRING ON STAGE AND TO OUR HEARTS. GOOD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! ASHLEY -JUST A CUP OF ---

AMY!!!! It's Dominic. I hear you will be at Babe's soon. Let me know when. Please email or call soon--I would love to catch up w/you. dfinney@richmond.edu 804-986-3613 You still sound great! Luv, D

Hurry up and get your sweet ass back to the Lowcountry! We desperately need an injection of crazy Amy Hills in our lives!

Did I mention how much my sister rocks?? I hope you all know how much she rocks. Because if you do not, then you are dumb as a rock and I may be forced to beat you up using my rock-hard muscles. HOYA SAXA!

Amy,

Thanks for being such a great host(ess?) at the DT-UT open mic. Don't change a thing about how you run it. I've been there twice, and both times it was friendly, egalitarian, genuinely entertaining, and, most importantly, there's a really good vibe, thanks largely to your positive attitude and good cheer. Keep your sunny side up, (or your moony side down), and great things will come your way!

Forever true to a dream! Can you believe UR is so far in the past! Your website looks great, and I'm gettimg married to my fellow Smith! Can you guess who it is yet? Walter told me you may play Richmond soon? So when! I miss you -- "Lay Me Amy" taught this chica confidence!

Keep writing those great songs!
Your fellow Westhampton Women --
Tasha

Amy-- I enjoyed the show at DT UT last night. Thanks for the flier. Where you get the energy to dole out so many smiles, kind words, hugs and expletives---god only knows. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the music and your working the room. Ill be back for next Wednesday's show most definitely.

Thanks

being u

i 've just got off work ,,, well i've seen u today u looked great .i checked ur whole website , music thing ,i think u're something ,, very promising and talented and don't forget to bring me ur cd next time

i've got extra tix to see richard shindell at the knittting factory tonite (sat, march 29) at 7:30. any interest? will call you you sat. to ask in person. open mike was really something. as i said to my mother, " it's just a matter of backing the right horse, uh person"

Who would have thought that nine years later I'd run into you at my coffee shop? So strange, I'm still reeling and running all these scenarios through my head, I came so close to leaving last night but I decided to stay at the last minute. So what happens now? Do we just wait to randomly run into each other again in another eight or nine years? No, coffee or tea is a nice place to start. Wow, Amy Hills, good to see you. I couldn't email you through your site so get back to me!
Rick

I'm listening to the new live CD right now, impressive!!

hey amy,

never signed a guest book before. couldn't resist when i saw my name in your diary. can't believe you used the word fool in connection with yourself. the word doesn't even belong in the same paragraph that mentions you. you're a smartie and you know it. you're not fooling anyone, you rockstar!

hey, if you get a date with john cusack, will you introduce me to joan? e.

Hi, Just checked out your web sight, Ir is great. Wish you were closer. Much love, Barbara
