"Number One" played and simultaenously both my (then) boyfriend and I looked at one another and said "That's going to be our Wedding Song". We were married this past April 18th (2004) and this was indeed played as our first dance as husband and wife. (Originally we had another song in mind but changed it after hearing this.)Thank you so much for a beautiful song.

Your music has always been a favorite of mine and my wife's and I play it often.Your rendition of Good Night My Love has a very special meaning for us especially in the evening. I wish you could play Cincinnati so my wife and I could get to meet you all. Once again thanks and never let your music die. Respectfully Cletus and Judy Janzen.
