"Hello Peter,
I found your site through Pat Pepin, and would like to compliment you on its content. Your reviews are well-written, and I'm sure musicians benefit from all you do. I write for the Sun Journal here in Maine and am also an avid Blues fan...." -Phil Whipple/Auburn, Maine "The Blewzzman is an amazing asset to blues music and to the people that love listening to the blues everywhere! He strives to help the independent artist such as myself, be it through kind words, or a fair and highly credible CD review. He's very accessible and down to earth. This makes for some great conversation, a few laughs, and the chance to learn something about a new artist or song that you may never have heard before. Thanks Pete for all you do!!!" - Dan Reading

Pete, I met you when we worked with you at Alligator Alley and you have been invaluable to us ever since. Your review of us in Big City Blues was so great I thought we would be signed by Alligator, Tone Cool or Evidence records the next day. You have helped us find gigs in South Florida. The band really enjoyed having dinner with you and Rose after our gig at The Bamboo Room. We will be playing there again May 31st. If I had 100 more fans like you I would be playing every festival in the world.
The greatest thing I can say about Pete is that he is not just a lover of Blues, but of talent....We don't fit the Blues Nazi mold that most record labels want to take a risk on. Having worked for Johnny Winter back in the late seventies, I have always been kind of a left field player and writer. Blewzzman Pete loves all kinds of Blues. Down in acoustic to heavy electric. I wish you the best and it is an honor to have you as a fan but more importantly as a friend who will tirelessly try to help in anyway you can. - Thanks and Love.....Your brother in the blues, Pat Ramsey
"Pete the Blewzzman, I see your name all over the internet - your networking is good for the blues. Thanks, and keep up the good work." - Bob Margolin - Chicago Style Blues Guitar
'BLEWZZMAN' Pete ~ I cannot thank you enough for all of your help in getting The Hell Hounds booked for their first South - Florida tour. They just completed their second, and it was better than the first! They hear the name "Blewzzman" everywhere they go - and nothing but good things said about 'that cat that promotes the blues'. Thank you also for your well written review of their cd "Can't Take It With Ya" ~ next one will be to you as soon as it's ready! It's more and more obvious that blues is not just your passion ~ it seems to be your passion to 'spread the blues' to all! And that's a great thing!" -Lorna Herman,
Manager - The Hell Hounds
"I wish more writers took as much time to listen & understand the music they are reviewing as Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro does. You can tell that everything he writes is heartfelt, and he picks what he loves, not just what the record company is hyping and the radio is playing. That's special and altogether too rare." -Amy Gieske, Little Luke & The Loose Cannon Band
