	Cinema Goddess	Say it ain't so Don...you can't quit wowing us with your talent. I hope I'll get to see you in the Charlotte area a few more times before...I can't even say it. You are one of my favorites and I've loved every show I've attended. Hope to see you soon. Phyllis     Posted by Cinema Goddess on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 7:36 PM [Reply to this]

	James	I hope you'll at least do Arrogance reunions.     Posted by James on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 7:36 PM [Reply to this]

	Julie Julie Winters	It's such fun to see you perform, and your love of doing that is evident. I'm glad to see that you're working on new stuff. Frankly, I think you're kind of unstoppable, and I enjoy how you express yourself (I'm looking forward to reading Songs 101 precisely because of that). My hunch is that you'll always find outlets for that expression; you'll feed your soul, and the diet will be varied. :)     Posted by Julie on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 7:37 PM [Reply to this]

	"Merch" Mike	WOW...a Sad Day indeed for Dixon Fans & Music Lovers alike.....A year without a Don Dixon show will be like a day without sunshine to me....Not only a great musician, but a Dear Friend I will see less of each year saddens me even more. I appreciate all the ops you've provided me over the last few years to do photography at your shows, but most of All for your Friendship during that time....Luckily have the My Pics / Live recordings & Memories to help the withdrawals when they set in....Definitely see you in June @ the SC show..... Your photographer & Friend.... Merch Mike     Posted by "Merch" Mike on Thursday, April 30, 2009 - 7:37 PM [Reply to this]

	QueenTechnoGeek	Don, it is us who should thank YOU! You have a true gift. The passion and energy you put into your music is inspiring, and you've got more soul than any other white man on the planet! It really has been a privilege to see you play. Even if you can't tour, please don't stop making music... and be true to yourself. -- Forever fans, Joel & Laura, Manassas, VA     Posted by QueenTechnoGeek on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 4:20 AM [Reply to this]

	ivan funkboy bodley	son, it's tough days for all live music all over the world. there's a recession on! but that ain't the real reason. we did one of the best soul shows i ever played last night in NYC, city of 8 million people. 9-piece band. had about 32 people pay the cover. think we're going on the road? i'm doubting it. but i ain't taking "no" for an answer. weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, solo shows, retirement homes, and just whistling while you scrub the pots. there are ways to sing, bud. always. you've got a great duo partner at home. and marti ain't bad either....     Posted by ivan funkboy bodley on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 12:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Earcandy Archive	It must be frustrating not getting the crowds in places like Cleveland and the Northeast, but surely you get the fans out in the Carolinas (as always). Here's hoping that you still find it worthwhile to play to your many fans there.... however, whatever is best for you, what you need to do, is what your fans would want. you've already given so much to us all already. take care, Don, and Godspeed. Steve P.S. ...almost choked to death in Cleveland? OMG. again, take care.     Posted by Earcandy Archive on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 12:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Hipster Doofus Terry Hildreth	I sincerely hope this is one of those "Stephen King retirement announcments things" and you'll just pretend you never said it and we never heard it. I've just only recently met you and I certainly can't let go yet.If only I had jumped over the fence in my backyard on Oakland Ave in 1974 you were probably jamming at Reflections with Arrogance. But my jumping over fences days are over, friend and so it seems maybe you need a hoist as well. Let out a yelp. We'll be here for you. Much much love.

	Stacey Stacey Wood	Don, WOW...what can I say. After "losing" you and your Arrogance band mates for decades, I rediscovered you this year. The 40th reunion show was a blast and your latest Jump Rabbits album (Nu-look) is as good as anything that you have ever done. Although I live in Charlotte, I missed the show last weekend at the Neighborhood theatre due to a scheduling conflict. I thought to myself..next time. I truly hope there will be a next time.     Posted by Stacey on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 9:49 PM [Reply to this]

	bewilderbeeste	don, most of us know and understand that it costs to be a performer, and it also costs to be an audience.. this recession is not good for any of us. your decison, i hope, is a temporary thing. it seems we all need to step back and wait out this big mess to resolve itself. when the sun finally does shine again, we'll be waitng for you to hit the road and at least perform in nc. ..in that meanwhile of waiting, keep writing, keep recording/producing and keep those wonderful vocal chords in tune. in the meantime, you *will* be muchly missed. -l     Posted by bewilderbeeste on Sunday, May 03, 2009 - 11:45 AM [Reply to this]

	Mike	Well, DC isn't that far away, right? You could always do a few shows in the NC/VA area since it's w/in day trip territory..... I missed your latest show at Jammin' Java due to schedule conflict, but I was at the last one. I promise to be at any future show -- honest!! Let's see -- I made most all of your shows in this area through the 80's. I saw you at the 9:30 with Lloyd, Hoover & Crenshaw, and then at Jammin' Java. All were great shows!!     Posted by Mike on Sunday, May 03, 2009 - 11:46 AM [Reply to this]

	Paul	Prove yourself wrong, please? Being wrong is sometimes the best thing in the world (oh, believe me!) Both on the stage, and off the stage - you rock.     Posted by Paul on Sunday, May 03, 2009 - 5:33 PM [Reply to this]

	Eleanor Eleanor Cook	HI Don, I was there at the Berkeley Cafe and Joe and I found the show really energizing and happy. But the economy grinds on. What can we do to help? Having rediscovered you and the Arrogance clan once again, I want more! More more more - we need you! Don't give up on us quite yet - there is a groundswell of old fans ready to get rededicated - just hang on. I would be happy to make you a million sandwiches and then some - Love, Eleanor (The hugs were awesome!!!)     Posted by Eleanor on Monday, May 04, 2009 - 2:14 AM [Reply to this]

	Becky becky zollicoffer	You love to sing...we love to hear you sing. Certainly there is a way to keep that happening.     Posted by Becky on Tuesday, May 05, 2009 - 11:15 AM [Reply to this]
