Stew,
I miss Sunday Night Blues, and want to thank you for introducing me to some good bands I otherwise wouldn't have known about. Our 7-year-old boy especially loves to rock out to Joe Bonamassa.
Take care,

Hey Beef...
Congratulations on such a long run with the Sun. night Blues show. I was hoping XM would fill the gap but their programming is all over the place. I could always count on your show for the modern scorching guitar style of blues that I love. I wish you all the best in your forthcoming endeavors. Hope to meet you at the Berlin Festival. Longtime listener,
Paul D.
Again, all my best to you and Good luck...

Hi Stew,
Good hearing from you. Sounds like things are going well. I'm sure you will eventually adjust to the new life style. I used to say "If the weekend has to end there's no better way than to be listening to SNB."
Now it just ends. I guess we all have to adapt to changes. Really enjoyed your show and can't wait for the Berlin Blues Festival. Had a really good time last year.
See you then,
Paul

Hello!
It's always a pleasure to either hear you on the air, or just hear from you, Stew! I will be sure to think about you on Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday evening, after I do some backyard gardening, and having a couple of celebratory beers!!! I tried to phone in the night of your last Sunday Night Blues broadcast to wish you well in your present and future endeavors, but wasn't able to reach you... Thanks so much for the friendship, the music, and especially for the "JIMI HENDRIX, RED HOUSE" request(s)... I'll always remember the encore broadcast of my request you played on Mother's Day 2003... I was so surprised and so excited, you really cheered me up that day!!! You're one heck of a guy, a gentleman, and a scholar!!!
Love ya Beef Stew!
Your listener and friend,
Debbie

Hey Beef,
Good to hear from you. Sundays just don't seem the way they used to.
I want to say thanks for the free tix to Robert Cray Band show. Your last
pair. It was my first time to see him after all these years. Maybe you can do a special guest thing every once in a while.
Greg a.k.a. G-Spot

I still really miss your show on Sundays, however I am happy that you are moving along in your life in a direction you prefer. My boyfriend mentioned that you will send out occasional emails to keep us up to date on your activities as well as some blues events. Can you please add me to the list? It won't be the same as hearing you on Sundays, but at least you won't be completely gone!
Thanks a lot and take care,
Eva
March 19, 2008
Sorry you're no longer on the case but keep those cards and letters comin'. I'm still gonna send you the new Scissormen disc later this year. Just mastered it. Would also suggest you check out www.livebluesworld.com if you haven't yet. Think you'll like it. It's a good active community. Scissormen just got into Bonnaroo, which is a big deal for us - especially with a potential crossover album coming.

What's up Beef Stew. It's sure not the same on Sunday night. We lost you and Jeff Healey in the same month. Anyway life goes on, stay in touch and I hope to see you at the Berlin blues festival or maybe at Toads.

What happen to Stew's blues sunday night? As a blues guitar player, I had my strat tuned and ready by 6:00 going thru my PA. Your choices of music was what I love. Stew's blues step me up as a guitar player huge. I'm dying.

Hey Stew,
The best to you in your new endeavors. WE had a great ride together. I stop into the Brass Key once in awhile and it is amazing that there is so much of the place that has been there for 50 years -- all the stainless steel and the old soda system. Great memories growing up. Stay well my friend.

Beef,
I couldn't believe my ears last night when I couldn't find you on the radio. I finally checked out the website today. Man, I wish you the best and know that you will be MISSED in the blues field on Sunday nights. I am sad to say that I missed your final broadcast because I was out of state. My loss!
Good luck!

Well Stew,
I am experiencing extreme withdrawal from SNB. I wrote down the Nascar winners to send you, but I figure that now you've got time to watch for yourself. I played myself some music including but not limited to; Sugar Ray & the Bluetones, Candye Kane, Radio Kings, Sean Costello, Sue Foley, Jimmie Vaughan, Deborah Coleman, Johnny Winter, Robben Ford, Luther Guitar Jr. Friday I saw The Brian Templeton Blues Band featuring Kid Bangham! It was Awesome! Saturday I saw Debbie Davies. Sunday the show didn't come on. I guess that I can surmise my feelings by saying that I love to hate you. If that makes any sense.
Thanks Man,
Zeke The Listener
March 2, 2008
Stew,
Just heard the news. I'm the odd one out of my peers; I'm 21 and only listen to WCCC 6 hours a week... your 6. Your the only DJ (& Beth) who ever picks up the studio phone. Thanks for my 7+ years of weekly entertainment of damn fine electric blues! Good luck in future endeavors!
Thanks Again Beef!

Mr. Beef Stew,
Being a long time fan of yours, I am heartbroken to see you leave, but completely respect your decision. You gave my friends and myself something to look foreword too every Sunday night this past summer and many others. We would always throw a Sunday Night Blues bonfire, call you up, and you would always put us on the air, making us feel like we were a part of everything; like one big family. Blues was a genre that I've always enjoyed and found a great interest in, but being in CT and being under 21 it's hard for me to experience it - until Sunday night rolled around every week. I don't know what WCCC will do without you, or better yet what I am going to do without you, but all I know is you were a very important part to what's left of radio and blues itself. In the fall I will be transferring from CCSU to the Hartford Conservatory for recording engineering. Recently I read that you went to that school years ago, and now I couldn't be more proud to go there myself. We will keep your memory alive, this summer we dedicate to you. Thank you for everything and take care.

Hey Stew...
Things are okay... Despite being the 'slow' season, I've still got a pretty full schedule. . . .I'll wait until it gets REALLY busy to taketime off.
Stew, you're such an inspiration to me in that you've always done it your way, with thoroughness and thoughtfulness. That's very admirable.
Many times, I get so wrapped up in the whirlwind, I rarely have a chance to step back, enjoy the moment & breathe. Thanks for being part of my radio family, too. It's great having you here.

Beef Stew's contribution to the blues in CT was more significant than any other individual in this State. Ever. No person in the State of CT has ever been more envolved in organization, marketing, promotion, creativity, fundraising and general support of the blues. The International Blues Foundation 2008 KBA lifetime achivement award to Stew speaks for itself. Best time to sell a house, car, or boat is when its in top shape. Beef made his mark and left while at the top of the blues heap. Beef Stew has no equal. Nuff said.

Dear Beef Stew,
Best wishes to you on your journey forward. We loved that
you were one of the last bastions of blues rock on regular
rock radio, and we hope you can find a similar outlet for
your talents elsewhere. But no matter what, hope that you
are well and happy. Stay in touch, and let us know your whereabouts.
You are always welcome to any Walter Trout show worldwide,
just say the word and we will put you on the list. Best wishes
for the road ahead.

Hey Beef,
Wow man, it took the whole hour drive home to come down from
that high. Can't thank you enough for including me and for
giving me the opportunity to jam with such great musicians
(and thanks for tipping me about my "Donald Trump hair!"-
only a real friend would do that). What a great time!! Stew
you are the best... Rock on dude and I have no doubt you will
be happy and successful in the next phase of your award winning
life.
Dan Stevens
February 24, 2008
Beef,
You've been a Sunday night staple at my house for so long.
I'm so sorry to hear that you're leaving, but I wish you all
the best! Thanks for entertaining me and educating me about
the blues for so long.
I wish you well....
Now I got the Blues.
February 24. 2008
Stew,
Thank you for all the great music. I can't believe this is
your last show!!!!Great way to close it out.
Once again, I appreciate all you have done for the blues and
just plain good music. You have really helped CT blues musicians
like myself get noticed. I hope to see you at some of my shows.
I'll keep you on my mailing list. (Try to make it 3/6 at the
Hungry Tiger if you can) Best wishes in all of your endeavors.
Warm regards,

Oh man I don't know where to begin. For the last few years,
I got together with some really good friends on Sunday nights
and we cook up some of the best meals ever, and listen to
your blues program. You can't imagine how you will be missed
in our little world. Make no mistake, I completely respect
your decision to move on. I just wish you to know that you
will be missed. I can go on, but I just want to say thank
you for all that you provided. Again you have a fantastic
show that me and my friends will miss greatly. I wish you
the best of luck, and again, thank you.
Best wishes,
Craig
P.S. maybe you can come back for the occasional cameo apperance....

February 24,2008
Hey Beef Stew,
Really going to miss you. Our Sunday's are always planned
around your show. My husband and I always set time aside to
listen to you, whether it is sitting out on the deck relaxing
after a long week, or even working out in the yard, you make
the last day of the week a very mellow time for us.
Thank you! Sunday's will never be the same.
Best of luck to you and your family.
Dan and Mary Carriere
February 24, 2008
I just cannot imagine a Sunday without the Blues, I used to
listen to Chicago Blues festival on PBS, while in Indiana.
So, having been in Radio myself what will be able to fill
the bill in this time slot. Are you ailing, tired, or are
they forcing you out? I cannot imagine any of the three except
maybe your gonna do something new. Radio people don't just
give up Radio. It's an addiction. Good luck!!! Anyway.
P.S. leaving the country??? Make sure the station is online....

February 24, 2008
Hey Stew,
Been trying to get through on the phone don't think that's
going to happen. Just wanted to say thanks for the music and
much more for the last sixteen years. Can you play Playing
With My Friends for the last time before you go off the air.
See you on the radio. Your blues bud,
Charley White
P.S. We should all be thanking Beth also.
February 24, 2008
Hi Stew,
I wanted to take a moment to say Hello to you & Beth.
I know that Sunday nights will not be the same without Beef
Stew on WCCC. Tonight’s show is awesome. Enjoy the show.....all
my best. Talk to you both you.
Regards,
Barry
February 24, 2008
Stew: Great run....I'm gonna miss your Sunday night madness
at work here at the Quabbin. Can't tell you how many times
you turned a bad day into a better one and a good day into
a great one. How about one for the road....John Mayall--Cold
Blooded Woman?
Good Luck in the Next life...
John
Thanks.
February 24, 2008
I know your probably saying why do I listen to your show,
well because there are no blues stations around where I live.
Maybe you could have a blues show on WCCC AM. I am in Florida
of course but I listen online and it sounds great. Take care
Stew...I also heard your son over in Tampa.....
See ya BEEF...PEACE

Good luck Stew on your last Sunday Night Blues! I'm tuned
in now as I'm doing my 2007 taxes, but may hang myself shortly.
As I told the CTBS board, your departure leaves a big hole
in the CT Blues scene! Thank you for your support of this
GREAT music over the commercial and college airwaves for all
of these past decades.

February 24, 2008
WTF??? I can't believe YOU are leaving? WHY??? I look forward
to your show every week??? How can YOU be replaced??? I have
had many a conversation and schooling with you! I have "timed/programmed"
my Bose with you!! What am I gonna do?? I have enjoyed listening
to you for many years! I have met you once and have enjoyed
your "teachings" every Sunday!! Now what the f**k
am I gonna do? Your show was my "wind down". My
"mommy time"! My "leave us alone" time!
Now what??? What am I gonna tell the kids now???? You are
gonna be missed my friend??
We love you!
This is gonna be a tough break up!!!
So sorry!! xoxoxoxo

February 24, 2008
hey man, good luck with your life after sunday night blues,
i listened when ever i could. being a younger listener i guess,
this is really my only taste of the blues but i love it so
ill probably head out and get a couple albums. i loved to
chill, and roll a fat one, sit back and listen to the music
on sundays, i was also looking forward to cruising around
blasting sunday night blues since ill be able to drive next
week, but i guess ill have to settle for cds rather than radio.
i love the show and music man, have a good one, and maybe
ill see you at the berlin blues fest, never gone before but
i plan on it this year because of the music you play.
peace

I just wanted to once again thank you for being so very kind

success & happiness in the world. I think there is going
to be a whole lot of fans who will miss you. Joe is a force
to be reckoned with in Europe right now, they are totally

Hi Beef Stew
Won't miss Sunday's last show for the world!
Wanted to let you know - I went on Joe Bonamassa's Website
to post the sad news about your pending departure from the
Sunday night show - I guess I shouldn't be surprised - there
was already "posts" about it on there already. "Joe" fans will miss you a lot as
you were always a supporter of his.
Take Care

hi beef,
ive never written you before, but i just read that you're
retiring from the sunday night blues after this week. i just
wanted to thank you for all the great music youve introduced
me to. i'm not a big blues guy - nor do i ever think i will
be - but it was always great to hear something different on
the radio in the garage while working on my stafford race
car into the evening hours on sundays... and i cant tell you
how much i HATED when the patriots played sunday night games...
anyways, best of luck to you. you and your show will be missed.

Wow...that's big news that you're leaving (I'll want to be

I also liked reading about your past achievements. Congrats.

Hey Beef,
Congrats on making it through 13 very successful years at
WCCC. We have appreciated the great support you have show

back to another station in the future. A big Blind Pig hug.
Take care,

February 18, 2008
Stew,
Thanks so much! Glad to hear at least you're still with the
company. In fact I'm an ex-WCCC employee from the days we
still played vinyl. I worked there for one year back in '83
when Sy Dresner owned the station. Bill Nosal was the PD,
Mike Adams did mornings and for awhile we had the late great
Stoneman 7-midnight. Wow the station has changed, I saw Rich's
pictures when Jeff was there. Now it looks like a real station!
Where's the turntables?!
Thanks again Stew, maybe I'll see you around town.

Thanks for the response and many years of great music and
blues education. It's been mine and Eva's ritual every sunday
for about the past five years to start the evening off with
your show and prepare for the week. Guess I'll be getting
the ipod out now unless you have a similar show on the other
station mentioned on megablues.
Please feel free to send us e-mails with updates.
Thanks again for everything,
Dan & Eva in Hamden
February 17, 2008
I am a long time WCCC fan and just heard that your last night
is coming up. I just wanted to say that I will miss your show.
I cannot really say that I am a blues fan, but I liked listening
on Sunday nights simply because it was something different
and I enjoy you as host. I think next Sunday will be a sad
day in WCCC history. Good luck in your future endeavors!
D in Manchester
February 17, 2008
Thanks for all the fantastic music! I'm gonna have to look
elsewhere for my blues fix now. Hope to hear from you again
sometime. Maybe another radio show? If you ever need a good
drummer, look me up. I LOVE playing blues.
THANX & Peace.... Win

February 17, 2008
Beef Stew,
I just heard you announce that your last week of broadcasting
your weekly blues broadcast will be next week. As mush as
I wish you well, I can tell you my Sunday Nights will not
be the same without you. For the past 13 years, I have looked
forward to listening to your program every week, not just
for the music, but also for the insight itno the blues scene
that you can't get anywhere else. I consider you a friend
and a "Blues Brother" and you have helped me celebrate
the goodtimes and defintiely helped me through the bad times
in my life. Again, you will be sorely missed and I wish you
well. If you get this message can you please play "Baby
please don't go" in your honor?
Wishing you the best of luck in your future endeavors,

I don't know what I will do on Sunday night's now. You have

luck to you and if you ever have a need for a Justice of the

miss your music.)
Thank You Beef Stew.

Wow. I knew it would come someday, but still a bit of a shock.
What to say? Ever seen Meteor Crater in Arizona? That's what
the effect of this will be on CT's blues scene. Thanks for
everything, and good luck in your new ventures!
