Happy Birthday Vaughn. I wish you good luck and I look forward to meet you at the Con in Germany. Best wishes from Germany to the whole band. Bye Sabrina
Vaughn replied Thanks Sabrina! I don't feel as though the years are piling on. It must be the music! See you in October!

You guys are great! Can't wait to see you on stage at Galileo7 convention this October!
Jens Storm replied Na, quantumgirl? Wo kommst du denn her? Auch auf der G7-After Eight dabei? Ich bin auch da, die ganze G7-Familie wird da sein! Das wird ein fettes Weekend! Make it so!
13 Jul 05 TJ of San Antonio, TX, said
On behalf of Starfleet IC 2005: Thanks for a great weekend Casey, Richard and Vaughn! Ya'll come back now, Ya hear!
14 Jul 05 Jens Stormy of Germany said
Give my regards to the Celestial, the most beautified Enterprise Blues Band! Hi, my name is Jens. I am from Velbert, Germany (that's near to Neuss, Germany) and my age is 17 (sweet youth!). At first I wanna thank ye for your marvelous music - well, that's cool stuff! :p I will, of course, at Galileo7 this October and will do some interviews with the fans and guests. Maybe I (I hope really so) I will interview ye at the (or after) press conference on Friday.
Yours faithfully, Stormy
Vaughn replied Hi Stormy! How nice to hear your wonderful comments! We'll see you in October. I'm happy to do an interview with you there. Thanks for being interested!
20 Jul 05 Gary Whaley of Las Vegas/Chicago said
Have known Vaughn for a few light years now, me being rather the elder here. Have enjoyed his friendship, acting abilities, and now (you never mentioned multiple musical talents) after having enjoyed my own thirty year voyage in music and entertainment, am enjoying yours. I wish Vaughn and the EBB to "live long and prosper." Be looking forward to docking at a r&r station to catch up on all the past and current adventures.
20 Jul 05 Ron Moore of Los Angeles, CA, said
Hey! What a great site. Good work Diane. The Blues Band is coming along and we are getting lots of practice. I am looking forward to seeing you all in Germany. Live long...
BTW: Very bad news about Jimmy today.
Diane replied Thank you Ron! Coming from a vfx design pro like you, that means a lot!
21 Jul 05 T`Praal of Vulcan aka Canton, MS, Earth, said
The weekend of the first in San Antonio, Texas on earth was highly illogical. I found my visit . . . . Ah, heck, lets get down to serious. The Starfleet Int'l weekend on the first of July was a blast. What made it so? Getting down and boogieing with the best band this side of the future. Guys, Casey, Richard, Vaughn, you are all three awesome. Many hugs for the friendships that you developed with the fans there. I applaud all three of you for showing us that actors are people too, especially people you would like to get to know. I know that Galileo 7 is going to be awesome, so I shout out to anyone that will be arriving there that wish I were there too. I keep the lights flickering in Surak's Star of Wisdom and Knowledge, aka The Second Star to the Right. Keeping in touch with the future. Kaith Rush aka T`Praal of Vulcan
Vaughn replied We had a great time, too! You folks are the sweetest in the world! you raised a lot of money for charity that weekend and had a ball doing it! You know how to party! Thanks for including us!
25 Jul 05 Debbie Beck of Florida said
My friend kath told me about it and i even rp as a trekkie for a few years, and im sorry to hear of the loss of a great man James Doohan "scott" from the orignal series Be`Lonna Da`Lor
Vaughn replied Hi, Debbie. You're right. Jimmy's passing is a sad event. But he had a wonderful life and brought so much joy to the rest of us. We should all be so lucky. I met him in El Paso. He was a super guy. So willing to make the moment happy, even though he was confined to his chair at the time and in some degree of discomfort. I'm toasting him at the moment. Raise your glass with me... Here's to Scotty. He's done his final beaming up. He deserved a smooth ride. After all...he invented the mode of travel.
Diane replied ***clink*** Here's to ya, lad!
29 Jul 05 William Jones of Santa Monica said
Just wanted to let all those who've ordered cd's know that I have personally mailed out each and every one of your orders...AND....THANK YOU!
29 Jul 05 Holly Kim of Long Beach Island, NJ, said
I got the CD! And have had a chance to listen to it, too! Love it. Well, it's really "Love it!", but I already had two ! in this message.It's way. The only thing is it's only 7 songs! And I think we ladies need to come up a few songs ourselves. For one, we *must* do a "Star Trek Man Blues" or would "Star Trek Boys Blues" roll off the tongue better?
Holly Kim replied Eek! I wasn't paying attention! Got myself ID'd as male! Not once in my life!Goes to show I should check all the form when writing something
29 Jul 05 Sabrina Ravens of Germany said
I received your CD today and it is really great. I'm really looking forward to see you live. You guys did an awesome job. Bye and best wishes from germany Sabrina
Vaughn replied Hi Sabrina and Holly! Forgive me for answering both of you together. I'm so glad you like the music! We had a ball putting it together! You're right....only seven songs!!!...leaves you wanting more, I hope. But it is nearly a full half hour of fun, don't you think? Thanks for getting the CD! Thanks for leaving your comments, too.
31 Jul 05 Marsha of Verona, NJ, said
Received my CD (personally from Mr. William Jones of California!), played it, enjoyed it, laughed out loud ("please Mr. Shatner...), and can't wait to tell every Trek fan I know to get it. It combines two of my favorite things - music and fun! I love song creating song parodies, so I may take up Holly Kim's challenge to create a ST Boy Blues number. Oh, and Diane, I really like the EBB logo. Very nice. Marsha PS In case you were wondering, I'm the middle one in the picture attached, taken at a Jan 04 con in Jersey.
01 Aug 05 Jens Stormy of Velbert, Germany said
Hi, it's me again! And again I wanna praise your unbelievable music songs! Thank you!
I just have a little question: how could I get the notes from your extraordinary songs? (I play the piano) See you at Galileo7! Stormy
Vaughn replied Hi Stormy. Glad you like the music. It's a joy. About the notes for the songs....I can't really say that anyone has written them down. I did write the various chord sequences to the songs...but the notes themselves were just sort of improvised. Casey and Steve would find the harmony notes off their instruments and them sing them for the band. Note for note has been recorded, but has not been scribed. I can let you have the cord sequence if you'd like. Thanks for the interest!
Jens Stormy replied Hi!First of all: Thank you! I am very glad that you've answered so quickly! That would be a very great favour for me if you could let me the chord sequences of - for example - the "Trekkie Deckie"-song (my favourite song! :p )! Maybe it will be possible to give me them at the press conference at Galileo7 (you know: my little editorial staff wanna interview your great band there) - or you can send me them to my E-mail-address. Thank you very, very, very much! Stormy
9 Aug 05 Emilie Gascon-Montreal, Quebec, Canada, said
Hello ! I just received my CD today... Incredible piece of work ! Wonderful songs, well written, well performed... And the harmonies... wow ! For the first time, I have a lack of words to describe how I liked very much what you have done. Really, I think I could just tell it : I LOVE IT ! Congratulations to you, Vaughn, Casey, Steve, Richard, William & Ronald ! Hope to see you boldly go on with this band of yours ! Have fun ! (most important...) Emilie xo P.S. Personally, it just arrives in time to be in the mood for Blues. Coming up this month is the International Blues Festival of Montreal, call "Festiblues". Thanks guys ! And, Diane... Again, beautiful site, well done. Thank you very much. And thank you, William, for the shipping
William replied Dear Emilie, You're more than welcome. It's so great to hear from those who've received their cd's AND like them as well! Who knows? Perhaps someday our little (yet MIGHTY) band will appear in a city near you. Merci beaucoup (sp?) to you!
12 Aug 05 Holly Kim of Long Beach Island, NJ, said
Hey! There is a review of the CD on Trektoday.com and it's good! Well, it's actually on TrekNation, but you can get at it on TrekToday. Just go to www.trektoday.com and scroll down to the review (if you don't go over today, 8/12) or go to www.treknation.com and go to Reviews. HK
17 Aug 05 pennie of East Coast, USA, said
cool about the new cd. is there any other way to get this than pay pal? i do not want a pay pal account. thanks pennie
Diane replied Hey Pennie! No problem. You can write a check or money order out to Vaughn Armstrong and then send it to my address. I'll send you a private e-mail for that
pennie replied dianethe check is in the mailmuchas gracias
Diane replied Got it! It will be off to Vaughn tomorrow
pennie replied diane, you rock
17 Aug 05 M. Christopher Boyer of Seattle, WA, said
Very nice, fellas. Not at all what I was expecting given what I know of Mr. Rankin's propensity to rock out. Steve, I have very fond memories of you and your band all those years at Zena's on the last night of Humana. Peace, Chris.
21 Aug 05 Tom Drake said
You guys are AWESOME! Any chance you'll be coming to the Northeast?? Maybe to Shoreleave (Baltimore) in 06? I've met a few of you- hope to again/round out the troupe! ~Tom
Vaughn replied Hi Tom! DO you know JG and Bob have a cd, too? If it's anything like their Klingon rap it's a hoot! It's been a while since I was at Shoreleave. I didn't have the band then, either. I think they need us. Tell them! I will be in Indianapolis in November, but without the band...so far. Thanks for the comment!
21 Aug 05 Bev of England said
Hi Vaughn Just a quick note to say thanks for helping make my holiday to Vegas and the 2005 Convention one of the best holidays I have ever had in my life. I had a blast and met some very groovy people, one of which was you, adorable man. I have been doing me photos and remembering some great moments, and also trying to get a bit of a tan in the back garden as people might not understand I didn't go outside in one of the hottest places on earth. I have just booked my next convention - London 2006 at the Hilton Metropole, between 21 and 23 April. It's Creation's first Grand Slam convention in the UK, so you absolutely have to be there! Bring your Enterprise Blues Band as I missed them this last trip, and I've heard the clips on your website and they sound very funny. I was brought up with blues and jazz as my dad was in a New Orleans trad jazz band when I was growing up, so heard all the best music early on. Anyway, thanks again for Vegas, hope to see you and Casey again soon. Bev xxx
Vaughn replied Hi Bev! You say the nicest things! Yeah, Vegas was a hoot! I enjoyed meeting you as well. Nice talking to you at the desert event! We would of course love to come to Creation's London event! Tell them you want us and spread the word! We will be in Germany in October...though I realise that's a trek for you. I'm sure we'll make it to England eventually. If not Creation then some other venue. When ever it is and where ever it is.....I look forward to seeing you again. Maybe your dad can give us a pointer or two. Thanks for the message!
Bev replied Vaughn you are a sweetie. I have started a campaign tonight with all the trekkies I know, friends, family, and Casey's website forum to get Creation to book your band. Everyone else reading this, in the spirit of Save Enterprise/Trek United, please send an email to: gary@creationent.com for Gary Berman, and tell him he should book the Enterprise Blues Band for the Creation London 2006 Hilton Metropole Star Trek Convention. Thanks
I wish I could go to the Dusseldorf 30 Sept/2 Oct 05 convention, but my credit card needs to cool down for a while. My dad was a drummer, and we used to call him Animal from the Muppets, cos he is quite little and made me laugh. See you soon I hope Bev xxx
23 Aug 05 Jennifer L. Long of North Carolina, USA, said
Hey guys, I absolutely love your CD!! It is soooo much fun. The first time I listened to it, it put tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face, all at the same time!!! Whenever I'm feeling down, all I need to do is put your CD in the player, and my spirits are instantly lifted. I recommend the CD to everyone!!! And, I really hope you guys put out another one, real soonA sincere fan, Jennifer P.S. I hope you guys make it down to the North Carolina area sometime in the future
William Jones replied Dear Jennifer, You just made my...MONTH! If it feels good to just hear our songs, imagine how it feels to PLAY them. I personally get the best of both worlds. Thanks to 'Cap'n Vaughn and the crew', I have truly gone where no die-hard rock drummer has gone before. Okay, maybe there are a few but they aren't playing with the 'EBB'. I am truly a fortunate son! Thank you for this wonderful compliment! Personally I have never been to a 'convention' so Germany will be my first. Very excited here. Take care....... "Live long and....well, you know"
24 Aug 05 Becky Brunson Swets of Boca Raton, FL, said
Well, guys, I gotta tell ya...this is so boss! I've been a pianist for 48 years (since 5 years old), and this is some great stuff! Man, wish I was in LA so I could play with you fellows! Jeff, keep up the good work! Becky Swets, keyboard killer
25 Aug 05 Steven "Kaiser" Kell of El Paso, TX, said
Dear Vaughn, Casey and Richard You guys are so cool and fun to be with. You all did a wonderful job at the Starfleet IC 2005. I really enjoyed partying with you guys and so did my friend John. Anyway thanks for a great time and Memories. Keep up the good Work. Steven "Kaiser" Kell
Vaughn replied Thanks, Steven. We had fun, too.
25 Aug 05 Holly Kim of Long Beach Island, NJ, said
Folks, there is a con report on Startrek.com complete with a couple of photos of Vaughn, Casey, & Jeff Combs! Just go to www.startrek.com and click on the link for the Vegas Con Report #3- Recurring Actors. HK
Vaughn replied Thanks, Holly. I love it that they call me feisty. I hate it that that generally relates to seniors. But, truth be known, I'm kinda both! Albeit, more feisty that senior.
Ron B Moore replied Vaughn is indeed feisty, but I don't think he will ever really be a senior. Maybe a dirty old man one day.
Diane replied ROTFLMAO!!!
Holly Kim replied Hey, Vaughn, AARP found me this year! Yep, Nov. 2nd will be my 50th. Which means, too, that Casey and I were born the same year! So I guess I'm bordering on both, too. But, while I have to get older- can't fight time- I will not grow up! I am an adult by the number of my years and I am responsible some times, I am not a responsible adult! :p HK
30 Aug 05 pennie of East Coast, USA, said
mellow greetings! got home from work at 2315hrs to find a lovely EBB cd waiting for me. listened to it, that's just good stuff guys! lolwhen 'trekkie deckie' played, the cat looked at me w/a 'what the h..l are you listening to' look haha. many thanks to vaughn for winging that puppy to me so quicklybe well. pennie
Vaughn replied You're welcome! Thank you!!!!!
30 Aug 05 Bev, who was traveling through space, said
Well, I've had an el crapola day at work, but got home, and my EBB CD was here. As soon as I started listening to Enterprise Blues, it made me smile and everything was better. Red Shirt Boogie Blues made me laugh so much vodka come out my nose. Thanks guys, I love it. And sod it, I'm going to Germany.
31 Aug 05 Tom Drake of Cape Cod, MA, said
Got my CD over the weekend AND I LOVE IT! Redshirt boogie is the best! (reminds me of 'please mr custer') this ROCKs- can't wait for vol 2! ENCORE ENCORE!!
2 Sep 05 Holly Kim, visiting Tuckerton, NJ, said

Also, Lifetime will show a made for TV movie Casey was in, Thirst, twice this week. First on Wednesday, 9/7, at 9 PM Eastern with a repeat next day at 2 PM. HK
7 Sep 05 Stormy of Velbert, Germany, said
Hi, you cool guys! It's me: Stormy. I have just two little questions: First, I heard something about that there will be shown two Enterprise episodes in the UCI-Cinema in Neuss on Thursday, 27 Sep and that there will be some Star Trek actors. Will you, the Ebluesband, already be there on Thursday? Second, is it perhaps possible to get the text of your songs? It would be marvelous to sing your songs with you on your first concert at Galileo7, wouldn't be? Yours very faithfully Jens "Stormy" Storm
Diane replied Hey Stormy! I'll check with Vaughn to see if he can get me the lyrics (or Bill? are you reading this I think that may be a good thing to add to the website.
Vaughn replied Hi Stormy! Thanks for the questions! Yeah, I think we'll be there on Thursday but I'm not sure what time. I know we'll be ragged. We may not get there till the evening. And we'll have to rehearse. I'll try to bring the lyrics that I have on paper. I'm not sure how accurate they'll be but I'll try to bring them. Stop by the table on Friday or Saturday before our performance and I'll give you what I have. I do have an event every weekend before that one so I'm not sure I can manage, but I'll try. Thanks for your support!
9 Sep 05 Holly Kim of Long Beach Island, NJ, soon to be New York City, said
Folks, TV alert for Vaughn this week! Vaughn's ep of The West Wing, "Celestral Navigation", will be on Bravo at Noon Eastern. Also, his ep of The District, "Untouchable", will be on Thursday, 9/15, on USA at 11 AM Eastern. HK
Vaughn replied Thanks for the update, Holly! I've not yet seen this episode of The District. I wish I could watch it but I'm at an event in Australia that day. I hear it's a pretty good episode. Thanks for keeping us informed!
12 Sep 05 Bev of Peterborough, UK, said
Vaughn, Thank you again for a wonderful convention at Leicester, as ever, your company makes me smile. Hope you had a safe journey home and don't forget to mention the Ashes to the Australians. Can't wait to see you again and meet the rest of the band, so will just say Lebe lang und in Frieden! x x x x
21 Sep 05 Bev of Peterborough, UK, said
Hi Ron Its a real shame you can't make Germany now, I was looking forward to meeting you and all they guys. Bev
22 Sep 05 Steve of Ventura County, CA, said
Wow! This is FANtastic. The music is awesome. I'll be ordering a CD ASAP. I just happened to surf in and what a great surprise. I'll be looking forward to seeing and hearing you guys in the future, hopefully at next years "Grand Slam"! Keep the music flowing!!!!!!! Steve
28 Sep 05 Andrea of Wuppertal, Germany, said
Hey Vaughn its nice to meet you at the Galileo7 again and I'm happy that your band is there too. That's the 3rd time for you at the Galileo7 Convention and I hope it's not your last Galileo7. You're really a nice guy. See you at the Weekend.
05 Oct 05 Nic of Neuss, Germany, said
Galileo 7.9: Wow, you are all sooo friendly and enjoyable. *bows* ...and you are the first Star Trek actors who do _good_ music! My boyfriend and I bought your CD (we couldn't afford to get it signed by you guys because we were broke then). We never had the possibility (or better to say the courage) to talk to you at Galileo 7.9 so we both would like to thank you all that way. Thank you so much! We hope you enjoyed the weekend as well. We got an Enterprise Blues Band Jones... *sing* Will you upload the lyrics of your songs at your website? (Maybe I just didn't found them?) Then I could torment, uh... please my neighbours with my off-key singing. Nic and Norman *waving*
05 Oct 05 Rikki of Germany said
First of all: Thank you for a fantastic weekend in Neuss! I'm a proud member of the Enterprise Blues Band Trekkie Deckie Girls, and we had such a marvelous time as you can imagine. Needless to say that we bought the cd and start doing the hula as soon as we hear the song... Somehow it has become a reflex very quickly. So we're waiting for the next cd (hopefully including the "Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian" song and "Consume" with all of you) and of course your next appearance somewhere in Europe. Thanks again for a great weekend. And I promise we'll keep practicing. Love, Rikki
05 Oct 05 Andrea of Wuppertal, Germany, said
Hey Guys I want to say thank you very much for this great weekend in Neuss at the Convention and it was also a great concert. I have a question for you Vaughn that i forgot to ask you at your panel. That was the 3rd time for you at the Galileo7. How do you feel after this Convention. Are you happy about this great weekend with all these happy and friendly people or are you sad because that the weekend is over and you know that you have to go back home? Please answer the question because i really want to know that. You are all so lovely and friendly guys I love you all. Bye and maybe we see us again. Your Andrea
05 Oct 05 Guido of Willich, Germany, said
Hi Vaughn! I was at the Convention in Neuss too. I live in a city near Neuss, so this time a con where proverbial next to my door. Unfortunately I was there only at Saturday, but I was naturally at your great show! I'm the guy you met at the snack bar, near the hotel. German food is really good, isn't it? It was a really wonderful evening with all of you. Your music is very funny, with great rhythm and makes happy. Thanks for the work you all invest in this! At the show you played a couple of songs, which are not on the CD. Especially the medley of a few great Blues Songs, was really good! Is there a chance, that this song and others come out in the future on another CD? It would be great! I wish you the best and I hope to watch you again in a future incarnation of Star Trek! So long, Guido
Vaughn replied Hi Guido! Yeah, German food is great! Glad you liked the show. Yes, we intend to put those songs on the next cd. We're busy looking for the next songs as well, searching for that inspiration. We are having a ball! And we do appreciate your kind remarks. Hope to see you at the next one!
05 Oct 05 Bev of Peterborough, UK, said
Hi guys Fantastic concert and wonderful weekend! It was great to meet Bill, Steve and Richard for the first time, and I hope that the future is filled with many more moments like that for you so you know how much you are all loved. Casey you must put Consumae on the next EBB album, and Vaughn, you're a true gent. Love you all and see you again soon - the original EBB groupie Bev xxx PS When Robyn sends me your Harley photos I will pass them on to Diane for the site. Bill, the look really suits you.
Diane replied Bev! Glad to hear you had a great time. Bill called me the moment he landed from LAX airport high as a kite from jet-lag ANNDDD THE GREAT TIME and SUCCESS they had in Germany. Thanks to fans like you and the others that have posted here...and hmm...can't wait to see the "Harley Photos" But I have to say, my computer is down, and I am not quite sure when I'll have net access again to post the pics. I'll let you know Bye and thanks again.
05 Oct 05 Ulrike Kramm of Rostock, Germany, said
Hi! This is Ulrike, the "Birthday-Girl" and living microphone stand. Thank you so much for this wonderful weekend in Neuss. I found out this is a good place to tell you all the things I forgot to tell you on the convention. You always managed to surprise me, that's why I forgot what I wanted to say.So here we go: Vaughn, first of all I want to show you the picture we made after the cocktail party, because I think you look kind of funny there with your eyes half closed.Did you like the candy-stuff I gave to you all on the Con-Party? I hope you let some over for Richard.You now, you gave so much to me and I wanted to give you something back and say thanks for this wonderful Birthday-Song. Do you know how happy it made me? It really touched me. As you sang the song and I was standing there it felt like thousands of ants would crawl over my skin! And they are still crawling when I remember that moment. I loved your concert on Saturday evening. It was really great and I had so much fun listening to your songs. I bought the CD as well. Unfortunately the funny "Let's talk dirty on Hawaiian"-Song is missing. But I'm happy to have the CD so I can listen to your music every time I want. (And I just can't get the "Trekkie Deckie", "Enterprise Blues" and "Star Trek Woman Jones" out of my head.) Well... Vaughn, it was great to meet you. I find you are an interesting person and I'd like to meet you again. I hope I will be able to save enough money to visit your next German Convention. Whether I will be there or not, I'd like to stay in contact with you and get to know you a little better. I know you're a pretty busy man... but... feel free to e-mail me, if you want. I would be happy if you do. I wish you the best and a lot of fun for the future of the band! Take care Ulrike P.S. If you ever need a microphone stand again, you know whom to call.
Vaughn replied Hi, Ulrike! We all had a wonderful time this weekend! I can't tell you how much the band and I appreciate the warmth of the German fans. You've given us memories for a life time. And the concert was perhaps the most fun I have ever had! The response was unbelievably thrilling and generous. Thanks for the help with the microphone. Happy Birthday again!
Ulrike replied @Vaughn: you're welcomeand thanks again
05 Oct 05 Andrea of Wuppertal, Germany, said
Hi Vaughn! After the Convention in Neuss Rene Ahlberg told me that you said that the Opening Ceremony was one of the most moving moments in your life and he also said that after the Opening Ceremony you started to cry behind the Stage. Was it really true? I also cried a little bit because it was also a great moment for me and I was so so happy to see you again and see your happy smiling face. I will tell Rene that he must get you for the Galileo7 in 2006. (Please tell me if that is not correct english. I'm not so good in writing english. Sorry!) Your Andrea
Vaughn replied Hi, Andrea. What nice things you say! Thank you. In answer to your question, this was one of the most moving weekends of my life. The fans were unbelievably warm to me. That opening ceremony was incredibly generous. The band and I could never thank you enough for how welcome you made us all feel. Galileo 7 is the best! It was a magical weekend where I saw many friends and met many new ones. I have traveled a lot this month so I'm happy to be home now. But that convention gave me infinite memories that will last a life time. I'm really an old softie. No other fan group in the world has ever made me feel that welcome. And they have all been wonderful. I've had great moments with Klingon's in Baltimore and Starfleet in Texas, Fan Clubs in Ireland and cruises in Hawaii etc. etc. But this was a heart-felt moment of appreciation from nearly 1000 the most gracious fans in the world. I'll never forget it and will always be moved by the memory. The added pleasure of the reception the fans gave the entire band was unbelievable. They were equally astounded by the welcome they received and the love and generosity that filled Galileo 7, from the stage to the dance floor, in the bar and the lobby, from the fans and staff and the kids at the wonderful school Casey and I visited. Experiences like the one I had at this years Galileo 7 are difficult to match. Yes I was very moved! And you English is just fine! Thanks for writing! -Vaughn
5 Oct 05 Eva of Hamburg, Germany, said
I can only agree with Rikki, you made us hula - and it doesn't stop Hopefully we can see you play somewhere around here in the near future. We just had a wonderful weekend. You guys are simply fantastic! The photo shooting on the Harley and the conversations on Saturday night were just great. This was very special to us. Thank you for being the way you are! Eva
Vaughn replied Hi Eva! Thanks for the dance! And thanks for being who you are!!! Hope to see you all there again!
5 Oct 05 QG of Germany said
Oh boy, what did you guys do to me? I can't stop listening to your CD. It's running all day long (well, alternating with that one special song by Prince. thanks Casey! ) and my parents are ready to send me to the madhouse. They are glad that I need to go back to university next week But I just can't help it. Brings back the Galileo7 feeling, though a music DVD of the concert would be even better. Now there is a thought *hint hint* You know, maybe next year (if Rene invites you again as I hope he will, otherwise he'll be in big trouble) people will show up with "I love Vaughn"-signs or start throwing stuffed animals or underwear on the stage Anyway, keep up the great work and stay like you are! I love you guys!
Vaughn replied QG! It makes us so happy that our music brings you joy!!! It worked!! We hope to back as well. We love you guys, too!!!

I must admit that I for one think that Vaughn have come a long way since 2 years ago, when was the first time I heard his music. It amazing how great you guys sound when you are together on the stage. Oh and to the gorgeous Hula Girls, I for one liked your dance! It was fun to see you do it in the seats to the concert. I sat in front of you, and my friend next to me, took some pictures of you Hope to see ya'll next year to Galieo7.10!!!

Hi Vaughn... Just wanted to leave a short message to thank you for your great concert on Saturday. Can't get the songs out of my head. I hope you'll come back to Galileo7 with some new songs and with your band of course
5 Oct 05 Alexandra of Hamburg said
thank you very much for that unforgettable enjoyment you made with your music! it was such a great weekend we had in neuss, and especially meeting you guys made it incredible! to talk to you, to see you playing with so much fun was absolutely stunning! and as a proud member of the Enterprise Blues Band Trekkie Deckie Girls, i am listening to your cd all day through and make everyone around me hula! (thanks eva for that phrase!!!) i am looking forward to see you all again and waiting for the next cd! hugs and hula! alexandra
Vaughn replied Hi Alexandra! No thank you! You guys and you hula were so much fun. Did you see that you have your own fan club? Aint life a hoot. I'm soo happy the music is enjoyed so much. Hope to see you all again soon.
Alexandra replied Hi Vaughn! Thank you for your lovely answer! Yes, I know that we have our own fan club, and as far as I know it already has 3 members! The hula was real fun, especially while practicing it. But: We even wouldn't have had the idea for it if you haven't play the song! So it all starts with you guys! And we are really getting the feeling of being in a big big family with the song (and all other songs) and all the proud members of the Trekkie Deckie Girls (you may call us the Treckie Deckies, as you did on Galileo 7 ). Some of us dreamt of the music, some wake up with "the deep blue seeeeeeaaaaa", and I want to know madly how the damn sekkie tastes like!So keep enterprising on! Hugs and Hula! Alexandra

Hi there! Though I could unfortunately not be at the Con, I've heard a lot about how great the band was, and I definitely can't get some of the songs out of my head . So I just wanted to thank you guys for making great music, and I'd also like to mention the wonderful Trekkie-Deckie-Dancers, for whom I've founded a Fan club today . Yay . Love, Lies
5 Oct 05 Marko of Croatia said
Hello!I haven't heard your music yet, but I'm going to! I'm 25 and I'm from Croatia. Galileo 7 was too far away (and too expensive) for me to go, hope to see you and other Star Trek actors some other time... However, you're welcome to visit Croatia any time!There's a number of Star Trek fans who would be glad to see you here. Keep up the good work!
5 Oct 05 Thomas of Hanau, Germany, said
Hi Vaughn and the EBB! Thank you for your coming to Neuss, and for a weekend of music and exciting panels. It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I do sincerely hope to see y'all again next year, and to have another drink with you at the hotel bar at 03:00am! PLEASE keep the music going, it is fantastic!! Especially in the so-called digital age, where most of the music published comes with a "BEST BEFORE" date, it is heartwarming to experience real hand-made music!! All the best, Thomas
6 Oct 05 Sabine of Wuppertal, Germany, said
Hi Vaughn, what should I add? My lovely colleague of our totally crazy Trekkie-Dekkie-Dance group has already said it: You are fantastic! It was one of the best moments in my life watching you, listening to your great music and talking to you the hole night. And: It was my first time on a Harley! Now THAT was a weekend!!! I'm making my family crazy by singing your Trekki-Deckie-song and dancing through our living-room Hope to see you soon. I'm missing you guys. Sabine Proud member of the Trekkie-Dekkie-Dancers P.S.: I will send you, Vaughn and Diana, the promised fotos as soon as I've found them among the hundreds of fotos we've shot at that fantastic weekend P.P.S.: Anyone who has fotos of us on the stage or in our line feel free to send them to us. Thanks
6 Oct 05 Manu of England and Germany said
I still can't believe I missed that. I'm sure you guys rockHope to see you on stage one day, I really do...
6 Oct 05 Sabrina Ravens of Wesel, Germany, said
Hi together, all the people in these guestbook are joining my opinion. It was a wonderful weekend with an amazing concert. I hope, we all have given some of these wonderful moments you gave us back to you at the opening ceremony and your panel. See you next year again?
7 Oct 05 Vaughn said
I just want to tell all of you wonderful people how moved we are. Thanks for the great joy you are giving us with your responses. The fact that you all seem to like the music more than I could ever have imagined thrills me to the heart. I know the other guys in the band agree. You've given us more than we can repay. But we'll try. We're talking about the next album. Maybe in about a year, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. We might never have thought that way had the response to our music not been so generous! And the fun you are all having with this is equally as thrilling! Looks like almost as much fun as we have doing it. Thank you! Thank you !Thank you! Here's hoping that all of you, and the band, live long and prosper!!
7 Oct 05 Stormy of Velbert, Germany, said
Hi! That was a fabulous weekend! I enjoyed to hear your songs in Neuss! Thank you for the lyrics! Could you send me the chords, too? (I just start to play the Ukulele) Greetings Stormy ps.: do you remember me? I was the one in the yellow shirt asking you (Vaughn) about the intention of Star Trek.
Vaughn replied I do remember you. And thanks for the question.
7 Oct 05 DanishTrekker of Denmark said
OK I've finally gotten around to update my site with the pictures I took at the Galileo7.9 before my camera had an unfortunate meeting with some soda. There are quite a few from the EBB's panel. So if you feel like seeing them, you can do so here http://kennl.dk/pictures/startrek.htm
Vaughn replied Hi DanishTrekker, I love the pictures I'm really glad to hear that so many fans have really gotten into the band's music!!!
10 Oct 05 Rikki of Germany said
Hi Vaughn, isn't it great that we got our own fan club. 6 members now, btw. Apparently that's what you get when telling your mad Belgian friend about a convention. But we really had a wonderful time, and I miss you guys. The cd's on endless repeat in my car now. *g* Hope you'll be back somewhere in Europe soon. @Ulrike: First of all, hi to a fellow Ulrike. Of course we're grateful for every hint and help we can get. So feel free to email any of us. Love, Rikki Proud Member of the Trekkie Deckie Dancers
10 Oct 05 Ulrike Kramm of Rostock, Germany, said
@Vaughn: Do you remember what we talked about on Sunday after your panel, as you signed the lyrics for me? The songbook? Please think about making a songbook with all lyrics and chords... you see, "Stormy" is interested in something like this as well, and I think there are many more... So a songbook would be a cool thing. @Trekkie Deckie Girls: Well, it's hard to explain ideas for a dance with an e-mail...
Sabrina replied A Song/Lyrics book is a really fantastic idea! I'd like to promote Ulrike's request...
Vaughn replied Well then, I guess we'll just have to make one
12 Oct 05 Guido of Willich, Germany
Again: I love your music very much, because of the great rhythm and the joy it brings, listen to her! And as questioned: I would like to have the lyrics too! Please put them soon on to your Website, would you? With thanks to all of you: Guido
12 Oct 05 Manu of England and Germany said
Gosh I envy you guys so much for your experiences with the band. I sounds like a lot of fun. Hey Vaughn, Casey and the rest: How about coming to Germany again next year? There is FedCon in Fulda and the best is: I WILL BE THERE!!!! If that is not the right motivation I don't know what is.....
Thomas replied There will also be another Galileo7 in Neuss from 06 to 08 October 06
Manu replied Well, good to know ))
15 Oct 05 Diane of Los Angeles, CA, said
Hello all...Just letting you know that my computer is fixed now, which means I will be able to update the website soon. If any of you would like to send me your pictures from Galileo 7, I'd love to post them on the site. I'm glad to see so many of you had sooo much fun...I know the band did as well!! Take Care Diane
16 Oct 05 Holly Kim of Brooklyn, NY, said
Well, I can see a couple of things: 1) we need to do more editions of the Trekkie Deckie Dancers. A US edition, a UK edition, etc. etc. Maybe a by con? 2) What about those t-shirts the guys wore in Germany? I can see those being a band only edition, but could there be a fan version? Maybe the band version adds "I'm the band" on back and the fan version has "I'm with the band"?
16 Oct 05 Stormy of Velbert, Germany, said
Hi, Leute! Ich seh', wie viele Trekkie Deckies aus Deutschland sich hier schon verewigt haben - wow! Ich dachte mir, ich bin der erste, der 'mal auf deutsch schreibt... Na? Alles klar? Lebt lange und Frieden & Join the family! Euer Jens "Stormy" Storm (17,165,60)

Got my copy of the CD yesterday. When I was listening to it I couldn't help but grin all the time. You can literally feel the fun you guys had. Thanks for sharing your music with us.
31 Oct 05 Lori of Edison, NJ, said
"I've got the Enterprise Blues Band jones. You know they thrill me to my bones. They're on every CD (player) I own. I've got the Enterprise Blues Band jones!" I saw Vaughn at Mountain Con, in Salt Lake City, Utah a month ago (see photo). I bought the CD and I can't stop playing it! The band's joy is infectious. When are you guys playing in the States?
2 Nov 05 Ulrike of Rostock, Germany, said
Hi everybody! You all know... I like this funny "Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian"-Song Steve did on the G7 concert. Not only that I can't stop singing it, now it inspired me to design a t-shirt for Steve. I put it on my website. You can look at it here: http://www.my-dream-now.de/index.php?id=else I wish you all a happy Sunday!
25 Nov 05 Diana Ford of Carshalton, Surrey, UK, said
Hi to all and thanks to Bev for her kind comments about the Official Vaughn Armstrong Fan Club UK that I run; thanks to everyone for all the photos and comments that are being sent to me; if you haven't purchased the 'Enterprise Blue' CD you should!, it is a fantastic CD, great music, sound and great lyrics, wonderful live performance the guys give as well; may they long continue.

We all had a great time at the Light Speed Charity event last Sunday. Sorry Casey wasn't able to join us but at least he made it by phone. Can't believe Vaughn auctioned of his Ukes! Finally I was able to join the rest of the Enterprise Blues Band in a live show. Thanks to all of you that came to see us.

19 Jan 06 Bev, sitting in front of the computer, said
Happy Friday for tomorrow everyone! Question to the Band - are you gonna be at Vegas this year? I have thought that immortal phrase, sod it, and booked myself for this now, as fate has advised me I shall do Machu Picchu sometime other than 2006. Don't ya just luuuuuuurrrrrrve Fridays? xxxxxxxxxxx
16 Feb 06 Vaughn said
Hey all! My son is graduating from art school in May. He's created a website with some of his work. I'm very proud of him and thought I thought you might enjoy it. Take a look at www.ssarmstrong.com Enjoy! If anyone has any questions about the paintings Seth said he would be happy to answer. Thanks for all. Have fun.
Seth replied Hey all, thanks for the questions. I use pretty much entirely oil paints, and occasionally spray paint. I don't use a grid system, just spend a lot of time on the underpainting or underdrawing
26 Mar 06 Ulrike of Rostock, Germany, said

8 Jun 06 Casey Biggs said
Hi all, just wanted you to know that we do check in and see what you all are interested in. Cheers to Diane for putting us all together. We have scheduled the recording for the next CD for the week of July 19. so keep your fingers crossed. all the best Casey
26 Jun 06 Casey said
Hi all, We finished the first round of recording the new CD, a little hectic with everyone's schedule but you will all be happy to know that we think it's going to be great.10 to12 new songs written by us with very different flavors than lest time. Bill wrote a great rock and roll number called Too Far. Steve's ";I Gotta Date with Fame"; is stuck in my head. I wrote two plus another one with Vaughn. Richard has a great ";Gut Bucket Love"; and Vaughn has written two great new tunes. a little more recording and mixing then to the printers!
29 Jun 06 Marsha of New Jersey said
Met Richard Herd a few weeks ago and he was **SO** excited about recording Gut Bucket Love. Can't wait to hear it. When will it be available for purchase?
2 Jul 06 Next Jenn, who was orbiting Earth, somewhere, said
Greetings all! I just wanted to say that I love the music, and I have Jackie Bundy (aka msferengi) to blame! That and seeing Vaughn, Casey & Richard in San Antonio, TX last year!
Can't wait for more music! Next Jenn aka: Jennifer Cole

Weeee!! The cool cat for the cool CD! I've just placed me order. Can't wait, can't wait!!!! Bounce Bounce!Now, to go find the right place to jump out at the mailman......
27 Jul 06 Ulrike of Germany said
I just ordered my CD as well! Oh Holly, I envy you now! Too bad that there's this time difference between the US and Europe. When the next CD comes I'll alter my sleeping rhythm to American time so I don't miss anything. Well, with my luck I'm having these days I'm probably number 101... Anyhow, I'm so looking forward to the new CD. And I can't wait to see you all again at G7. We'll ";Join the family"; (I have a feeling this could turn out to become the G7 hymn), the Klingons will bring a "; Bat'leth Baby";. And the best: it is not ";Too Far"; anymore... So, and now I'll go and tell all forums I know about this wonderful advanced sale and I'll make sure it will be in the news on www.sf-radio.net as well. Take care - Ulrike
