The Birth of Blue-Eyed Soul

Trace………You NAILED IT! Wow… I can’t image how long it took you to chronicle the history of OC music. I’ve only read a few pages and was it hard for me to put it down. I’ve always thought both you and John were two of the most talented people l’ve ever met in music!

Behind every great life story is a strong, brilliant woman like Jadwiga. Congratulations to Tracy and Jad for bringing this powerful history to light. “The Birth of Blue Eyed Soul” is more than music—it’s a love letter to a legacy. Beautifully done!

Again, I have to say how much i enjoyed it! It took me down memory lane with all your gigging places and made me feel I was right there with you in so many lone places. So many places in Newport you mentioned—great memories!

I’m savoring it, reading a few pages each day. What a work of art, and so many memories rekindled.

I finished it yesterday afternoon on the porch! This book has so many names, so many great stories. A lot of memories over the years. I had gone to the Belisle’s and Pussy Cat in Vegas many times!

So many stories that were so dear to all of us growing up in Orange County. Remembering the music, places, and a lifetime ago where life was good and the music was enchanted. Congratulations on an amazing book!

It’s huge, beautifully illustrated and full of backstories that you’ll never find elsewhere. It feels like Tracy is sitting in your living room, sharing his adventures.

I just finished reading your book. It was a great read and a lifetime of wonderful memories. You are such a talented musician and artist. Congratulations on this beautiful book. Hope to see you performing at one of your local gigs!

Hey Tracy – I love the book and thank you for all the nice sentiments. Congratulations, I think it’s a great book. Call me or I’ll be around.
