Through listening to this site I purchased Shelby Flint Sings Folk (Cast Your Fate To The Wind).  I hope this helps in some way.

Response:

Lanne,

Thank you for writing and taking the time to tell me of your purchase. Whether it helped or not is a best guess but it's still good to hear from you all.

I have enjoyed the website deeply,for as long as I knew was around and I had a computer I had looked for a place like this....it is sad to know to use it now I must make a donation of some sort....maybe someday it will be free again and I can once again enjoy it as before.......

I am fond of Neil Diamond & Slim & Byron Whitman - as the Whitmans are very good friends of mine..and Slim has since been retired for a few years now and since his visit to Kokomo in 1995 with Byron and their band....we have just chatted about old times an etc. My boyfriend took me to see Neil Diamond at Christmas time in 2005....That was truly a night to remember it was awesome ( Byron was right Neil puts on quite a show ).....at the Conseco Fieldhouse.....wow it would blow you away.....by the way Slim can still belt out a great yodel !!! So can Byron !!

Well,thankyou for letting me chat here.....hugs & peace to everyone.........

Dawn,

I'm glad to hear that the Slim and Byron can still "belt" 'em. I had no doubt about theit abilities but I was curious about their activities and their health.

Thank you for writing and please stay tuned.

I'm not an internet browser at all but I was really taken in by this website. I was searching for a song that my childhood friend would actually sing to girls he broke up with ("Let's just kiss & say goodbye") and if that's not a good memory I don't know what is. This guy was the living, breathing Fonze. Anyway, your site came up. It had the song and alot more. I told my brothers and others who also really enjoyed your site. The commercials and TV themes were probably my favorites. They bring back a more innocent time that was before cell phones, internet, and smut being acceptable. I hope that your site becomes active soon. Otheriwse when I sing songs like "My name is Michael, I got a nickel", and my daughter thinks I am making them up, how can I prove that they actually existed!! The internet is so much more plain and boring without your site.

Response:

Dino,

I can certainly identify with all that you said. I'm not saying that I ever sang such a song to the girls that I left behind but it may have preserved many of the bridges that I burned in my past.

You addressed the primary reason for my website. That was, of course, to "introduce" the music of the past to the youth of today. I wish I could turn back the clock but that technology is decades away.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Gerri

P.S. The best HAS come and the worst is yet to be.

To Gerry Brothers,
     What the Hell  happened to your music website?
It was the Best one, over the years, since the Dam War Broke out.   Honor they Govermnet right?

Response:

Steve,

I'm not certain whether it's government or commercialism but I wish I had something for our nostalgia loving troops.

Thanks and check back.

Gerri

This has been a favorite site of mine since I first found it several years ago. Your site had soo many of the songs that I've loved for a big part of my life, and I miss it "terribly". I'm hoping and praying that you can find a way to bring it back asap, so that I can share it with my reunion friends from classmates dot com. Best of luck,
Good wishes, God Bless...

Response:

Annie,

Thank you and I wish I had an answer for you but I'm working on it. Please be patient and stay tuned.

I haven't forgotten and I never will.

Gerri

I hope we all can listen your music again.

Response:

Sirpa,

I'm with you. I miss it all.

Nos duele mucho lo de la pag web,
Te apreciamos,
y a tu web,
Pues ella cubre un gran vacio dentro de la red
No te desanimes,
Viva el software libre
y las cosa bellas.

Gracias por su sugerencia pero el ofrecimiento de un jukebox digital libre no es una opción usando ninguna forma de transmisión. Deseo que era posible dar vuelta detrás al reloj como si de febrero nunca ocurrió el 3 pero eso no es posible.

Gracias por la escritura.

Gerri

I am making a periodic check to see how much progress you have made towards getting that wonderful music you furnished to us on a 24-hour/7-days a week basis back up and running!  The only qualms I have regarding internet radio is if I will be able to make a request for a song and get it played immediately without having to wait for the DJ to decide when to play it, which is sometimes, not at all! This happens when I call my local FM oldies station for a song, and after waiting all night to hear it, the DJ never gets around to playing it! In the meantime, keep up the fight! Good things take time, I hope you will win!

Response:

Laura,

I know what you mean about song requests going unfulfilled but one never knows how many other requests were fulfilled. This, by any means, is not justification by me but it would explain why it may occur. That doesn't make the pill any sweeter but it may make the pill just a little easier to take.

I'm not certain how it all may unfold but, one thing's for certain, it can't exist as it has. The industry just won't permit it.

Thank you for writing and please stay tuned.

Gerri

me gusta este sitio es muy inovador

Respuesta:

Gracias, Jose.

Gerri

I found your site by mistake and have visited it many times just to listen to the songs I grew up with, I am disappointed that you cannot share your music.  but it was good of you to share for a while.  Because of you I bought cd's I would normally just pass up.  Well you take care, and God Bless.

Response:

Moe,

Thank you for writing and remembering. It wasn't long ago when I was there for you all. Hopefully, I'll be back and back soon.

Stay tuned.

Gerri

I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS IN LOUISIANA, I AM FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND THE MUSIC BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMORIES. PLEASE TRY REAL HARD TO STAY ON THE INTERNET AND SEND ME A WAY TO LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC. I HAVE A HEART CONDITION AND NEED TO REMEMBER ALL I CAN OF MY YOUNGER DAYS.
         THANK YOU,
         DONNA ROBERT

Response:

Donna,

I've moved many times in my life and I know what it's like to be in a new state with no friends. I sympathize with you and I wish you well.

Please be patient.

Gerri

just stoppin by to say hey. i love rock n roll too.  I have a playlist, well actually 4 playlists on projectplaylist, listed under SUNSETWOMAN, I was looking for a song by Linda Ronstadt when I found your site. Hope things work out for you. I couldn't find the song though. It was called willing. Well take care, k

Response:

Kay,

Wish I could have been there for you when you needed me. Perhaps next time.

Thanks for writing.

Gerri

So many childhood music memories gone...not forever I hope.

Look forward to seeing (and hearing) you again soon...

Response:

David,

It may take time but, please, don't give up.

Gerri

I have an idea, I've noticed that there are thousands of songs on "you Tube" . Why can they play them? Maybe all you have to do is offer a video, like they do on You Tube, and you will be OK ? I don't know, maybe they can get away with it  because they are so big and powerfull, or they paid the "recording industry" money, again I don't know. Please let me know  if you have looked into this.                                   Again, best regards, Larry

Response:

Larry,

I can only say that, in the end, no one will have gotten past the usher without having paid for their ticket. It'll happen, you'll see.

Please be patient.

Gerri

the ONLY way is to hurt them is in their pocketbook!!! i note that you will not mention any names---you've probably been threatened with a law suit---because of that---i couldn't "blackball" any single company---so i "blackballed" them all!!! i haven't purchased any music at all since this happened to you & i recommend that ALL you fans follow my example!!! i feel that if you contacted the older performers (frankie laine-andy williams-patty page etc. that they would give you the written permission that you require to start up again!!! what do you think??? i'm looking forward to your reply!!

Response:

Richard,

I wish it were possible but many of the copyrights are owned by the music companies. It just means that I have to dig deeper into my wallet but I can only dig so deep. In the end, it's quite likely I'll need everyone's help if I'm to resurrect this website. The format will also have to change but be patient.

Thank you.

Gerri

Having heard the "Songs of the South" by the Norman Luboff Choir in the past, I was very disappointed that I could no longer listen to them. I used to own that album, but lost it in a move back in 87. Fooey! No one does chord changes like that any more. Not even the Mormons!

Response:

John,

You've got a good ear. They're a great group and I'm proud to have them in my collection.

Thanks for writing.

Ger

First of all, it is really a shame you had to take all of the music down. It was great while it lasted. I appreciate all of the time and effort you put into posting absolutely fantastic music for all to listen. As a teenager, I feel like it is something special to listen to music from a different era, such as the sixties and seventies. Hopefully, something will be worked out in the future.

Since visiting this site, I have bought numerous CDs and LPs. I always loved that you had various songs by The Beatles, because it gave me a chance to preview music from a certain album before buying it. I have bought Let It Be (LP), Abbey Road (CD and LP), Yellow Submarine (CD [although the CD is the Songtrack] and LP), The Beatles (CD and LP), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (CD and LP), Revolver (CD and LP), and Rubber Soul (CD and LP). As far as vinyl goes, I also have a couple of their earlier American albums.

I have bought a lot of songs on iTunes for my iPod that I heard on Terrific Music. At least thirty songs, but it is probably a lot more.

I hope all goes well in the future and I understand if you cannot reply. I just read your update and I figured that I would write and tell you about any music I had bought because of this wonderful website.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth

Response:

Elizabeth,

Thank you for taking the time to let me know what CDs and other media you've purchased as a result of this website. If I'd only had some verifiable proof of the thousands or, perhaps, millions of songs and/or CDs that were purchased as a result of this website but, unfortunately, that is not the case. Nearly 10 years and no proof. That's okay, live and learn, right?

Again, thanks!

Gerri

Your website has been great.  I listened to the music a lot and told many of my friends about the vast amount of music that was available.  This site will definitely be missed-it was a shock to see the music gone.

Response:

Linda,

Thank you for spreading the message but try not to miss it too much. With luck and support I may be back.

Gerri

I have been using this site for a number of years. It has given me so much pleasure. I have purchased so many CD's and downloads due to listening to the music on your site. The wonderful music that lay in the back of my memory from childhood was given back to me....a gift I could not have received elsewhere. The memories of music played by my late father. My music collection is now far richer than it ever had been.
God bless you for providing such a sincere and wonderful site for us to enjoy.  May God help those who wish to destroy this site see the service you are doing them and the good you are doing to their profits!

Response:

Barb,

I wish everyone was like you but, as we all know, this is not true. Not everyone saw the benefit derived from this website.

Thank you, your words are an inspiration.

Gerri

Hay,
WE NEED YOU BACK ON LINE !!
 
I am a semi-frequest visitor that grew up with this wonderful music and it's really hard to tell people about a song, without giving them your website.
 
Sooooooooo many of your songs have brought back a sea of memories that words can't express how much they mean to me.
 
What ever the problems are we can figure it out.

Tim,

I'd like to think that this will be an easy struggle but there is much to consider.

I've reached an agreement with the music company and now it's time for step # 2.

Thank you for your words of encouragement and your patience.

Gerri

Hey Gerri,

I just want to say that at your site is where I found the magical music of The Beatles.  Now, I'm probably one of the biggest fans of the fab four.  Thank you for everything and I don't know what I would be without having their music in my life right now.

Sincerely,

AJ

Response:

AJ,

The Beatles were, of course, an influence in my life. My favorites were: Girl, Fool On The Hill, All My Loving, and Norwegian Wood. I can still remember riding around in my '66 Pontiac Catalina playing 8 track tapes of the Beatles, Bread, and Cheech & Chong.

Thanks for writing.

Gerri

i was looking for a song on the internet a couple of years ago, when i finally came across terrificmusic.com. Ever since, i have been hooked on to it! Also, i came to know of a whole lot of other artistes which made me like oldies even more so! I guess this is one website on which each and every song is simply fantastic.....it is incomparable to modern music.

Response:

Thank you, Anam.

Your words are very kind.

Gerri

Where is the music? All I get is a page with your photo on.

Response:

The music has been removed until my options can be accurately assessed.

Gerri

It was nice while it lasted.

Response:

Thank you, Gene.

i have bought three or four cds due to the beautiful songs that where on this site. I loved the music and listen to it with my father. i purchased a simon and garfunkle cd, a drifters cd and a few beatles cds as well. the music was great and i am greatly sorry to see the songs pulled off. i had a great time listening to the oldies music at night while i was alone. although i didnt experience the songs first hand i still am greatly moved by them and enjoy the stories told by my father about this great music and the era's they came from. i couldnt find most of the songs anywhere else but here and that is why i loved the site. keep on rockin to these classics and dont let "anyone take away the music... its the only thing we've got"!!

Response:

Paul,

I have to admit, young men and women as well as the boys and girls of today really can appreciate the music of my generation and the generations that preceded me.

Stay tuned and wish me luck.

Gerri

My father had passed all of this music from the Beatles to Fleetwood Mac to me when I was a child. Through the years, I loved it more and more. Every time I listen to this music, it brings a smile to my face and it makes me feel happy whenever I am in a bad mood. The music from today's generation is confusing and hard to understand and I am one of the few from my age that can reject that kind of music. Only the music from the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties is all I can relate to. Thank you so much for preserving this music.

Response:

Alexandria,

Though I'm soon to be 51, I agree with all that you said. Your folks raised you well.

Good luck to you and stay tuned.

Gerri

Keep fighting! I'm sure something will work out eventually.

Response:

Thank you, Josh.

Gerri

I was very disappointed about you having to take down the music. I would come to the computer and listen to all of the music that I remember my mom listening to when I was growing up. My children would sit and listen with me and sometimes we would sing loudly with them. I have bought an Air Supply greatest hits because of the memories this site brought back. I am still going to buy many others that I wouldn't have thought of buying if it wasn't for listening to your site. To list a few: John Denver, Debby Boone, and Leo Sayer. I have always had a fantastic time looking for oldies that I had forgotten.

Thanks for the memories.
Laura

Response:

Laura,

I don't know what to think. Should I feel more sorrow for our elders, ourselves, or our children? Many of our elders created this music, we listened and danced to it, and our children may never hear it. Is there no shame?

You're welcome and thanks!

Gerri

Gerri

I have been using this site for years to hear old songs. Sorry for the problems you are facing. It is really a sign of the screwed up times that someone would force you to stop doing something that really sells music.

I have purchased approximately one dozen cds as a result of figuring out who sang an old song I found on your site. I have purchased approximately 30 songs on itunes after hearing them and wanting to download them for my ipod.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT! Your site is a great one.

Good Luck to you Gerri.

Tim

Response:

Tim,

Thank you for taking the time to tell me what you've purchased as a result of this site.

You're right! The world's a mess and it's only getting worse but stay tuned and, again, thanks.

Gerri

Hi Gerri;
 
I have always had your website bookmarked since I found it. When I visited it today (4/6/07) I noticed the music was no longer available. I feel bad that you had to take the site down. I have bought a few Cds since I started revisiting old music. I bought a couple of Doo-wop videos and a Jackie Wilson, John Denver, Peter Paul and Mary. I am also in search of a Cd of Elvis's old songs. I hope you can return soon as I know that many people await your website. Good luck and I will keep checking now and then.
 
Regards,
Gil Sequira

Response:

Gil,

I, too, bought a Jackie Wilson video. I'm not a big fan of music videos but I had to have that one.

Good to hear from you and thanks!

Gerri

The music was great and it was always nice when you thought of a tune from long ago, all you would have to do is look it up and play. It was terrific!  Thanks for the memories.

Response:

Thank you, Don.

Gerri

I have made a donation to the fund, and will again if you keep me updated.  The website seems stalled right now with no new info there......but I'll keep checking.  God bless!

Response:

Richard,

Thanks for checking back and, as I told Laura, it's been a very long 2 months since February 3rd.

Please be patient and stay tuned.

Gerri

Just checking in to see what progress, if any, you have make towards bringing this beautiful music back on line! You had a lot of wonderful songs that I could not find on any other site. Children's music, Classical music, Christmas music, to name a few categories. I have not found any radio stations in the Puget Sound area that play a lot of the music your site featured. Yes, I have a lot of CDs, many of them bought after hearing those oldies but goodies on your site! Your site featured .ram files, which could not be burned onto a CD. All the other sites I have found feature mp3 and msmedia, which CAN be burned onto CDs, so I don't understand why you were targeted! P.S. While visiting your home site, I came across some pictures of a cute kitty named Agile. He is so sweet! How is Agile doing these days? I just love his sweet little face! Thank you for sharing him with us! Good luck in your future endeavors! Hope your music is back up real soon!

Response:

Laura,

Thank you for checking back. It seems like a year has passed since receiving the "notice" but, believe it or not, it's only been 2 months. I wish I could say what's going to happen but that ball's still in the air.

I'm sorry to say that "Agile" passed away on October 28th of 2005. He was a wonderful cat. I trained him to sit, fetch, come, hide, and catch rubber bands. He even had a funny way of howling. He was great with wildlife including birds. I, for a few years, rehabilitated wild birds such as lost or abandoned baby birds of all kinds or sick and injured adults. He would take his left or right paw and very gently stroke the birds in a curious yet compassionate way. He would even let them ride on his back or sit on him when he napped. He had a heart attack on his way to the vet. He died just minutes after reaching the vet's. I could do nothing for him other than to drive fast and brake short. That trip still catches me off guard when I think about it. He was the "best".

Anyway, thank you for letting me know about the CDs you purchased and, please, come back.

Gerri

Something isn't right here!!   I visit http://www.johnnyhat.tripod.com and http://www.thestatenislandboys.com  they have oldie music!!
Staten Island Boys have been around (I think) longer than you!!
At least I found them while living in Arizona 6 years ago!
Then a blessing came about 3 years ago (I believe) and I happened upon your Site!!
I know the work and dedication you put into it. My Son has a Family Web Site. It takes time, dedication and lot's of love if done correctly!! Yours and his is all that!!
I immediately sent a link to all my friends!
Many a night I danced to the 50s songs!! What beautiful memories!!............YES! I went out and bought SEVERAL tapes and Cd's BECAUSE OF YOUR SITE!!! Starting with Stand By Me..Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, The Rock and Roll ERA 1957,1954, and 1959. Also Rock and Roll Jukebox Superstars....and more I can't "Dig up" right at the moment, as there are Several in my car!!........So, what's the problem!! You are giving Free Advertisement!!!

Response:

Pam,

I took a look at the two websites you furnished and one of them is, perhaps, gone and the other ought to sleep with one eye open.

I wish I could explain the logic behind the choices of others but, as you know, that's an impossibility.

Thank you for taking the time to tell me about your purchases and I hope to be there when you need me next.

Gerri

1. Just cannot believe it
2. hope your site will up and running soon.
3. used to refer your site
4. I am ...yes I am upset but my feelings are probably very small in comparason of your feelings from having builded this great site.
5. If I had the money I would help you...but it is not the case and it is the small people like me who have to cope with the lost of your site.
6. Good luck to you and will pray for you that things go back to the way it was...thank you
7. bye
