Green Button "Peter, I wanted to give big thank you for such a great review of Papa Didn't Raise Me Right! I really appreciate your insight and encouragement. I also appreciate that you seem to understand my sense of humor. I try not to take myself too seriously. To quote Dame Edna, "If you can't laugh at yourself, you just might be missing the joke of the century!" Pete, you have always given us positive reviews, this one is the best yet. I can only hope it's because we keep improving with every new effort. As we enter the next phase of life for The Porkroll Project I look forward to a continuation of our association. Neil Taylor"

Green Button "Pete, Thank you for the wonderful CD review. We can't thank you enough good Sir. Really nice! Cheers, Paul

Green Button "Thank you so much for all you do keeping the Blues Alive. With the pandemic our Blues Society publication is berift of stories covering the live music events for our locallocal artists. Your reviews help me keep our people get through this. David Antin, President, LCBS"

Green Button Hiya Blewzzman, Love your reviews and how you continually manage to introduce me to artists I might not otherwise find for my radio show here in OZ. Chillblain Blues

Green Button "Although this CD has been previously reviewed in the Blues News", the Blewzzman goes into quite a bit more detail about the artists and has provided some nice commentary on the project from an "outsider's" perspective. Nice to see a nationally recognized reviewer with such a favorable opinion of our local efforts".....
- Kentuckian Blues Society

Green Button Peter, I cannot thank you enough for really putting it out there with your feelings about Benny's ability to play festivals and his worthiness of award nominations. It really helps to have others validate what I'm trying to convey, especially in a written and published format, such as you have done. Benny is 76 years old. Time isn't on my side, although I continue to persevere. Your review is a big asset for us! With sincere gratitude,
Sallie Bengston - www.bennyturner.com

Green Button "Pete the Blewzzman is a musicians best friend. Thanks for all you do for the music." - Teresa Wade, assistant to EG Kight


Green Button 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


Green Button "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


Green Button '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


Green Button "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
