Rick it was great hearing you on your pass through Iowa. Plus it's always good to hear my old friend MJB tickling the frets. Although our stay was short that night at Cocktails and Co., the wife and I enjoyed your music. Live music is a passion of mine and you do the genre a huge favor with your talents.

Vick and Dave

Had a great time hearing you at the Grove on the 28th - even better than the Rooster days! The band was AWESOME and the cd is great - my 7 year old was dancing with me in the living room the other day listening to it - a new convert!

Happy New Year and we'll see ya back in the spring.

Lisa (Hornyak) Curtis

November 24, 2006

Hello, Rick Hornyak!
A friend of a family member recently was visiting Texas and read an article in a local paper about you and your music. Your name caught her eye and she brought the article back for us to read. Even though your last name is what initially interested us (we're from Pittsburgh, PA, by the way)your "story" is what I think everyone finds the most compelling. Best of luck to you in fulfilling all your dreams! You are quite an inspiration. I'm looking forward to hearing your music soon.
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Lisa(Hornyak)Curtis
Greentown, Ohio

Dawn

Hey ,Rick.Dont know if you remember me or not,but im one of your brother Bobs friends and was checking out your web site.Cool.Good luck with everything.Jam on!!

Jim Hornyak

October 11, 2006

Rick, For years I've watched movie credits for fun just to see if a 'Horn-yak' is ever mentioned. No dice. A couple weeks ago, my dad sent me a pic of him wearing a hornyak? t-shirt and I thought it was the greatest! Some of his friends saw you somewhere near Cochranton, PA. We're from Pittsburgh, South Hills. It's been a tough road with a name like ours. I've been all over the US the last 19 years but if you ever find yourself in the Sacramento/San Francisco area, you can stay with family.

Take care, God Bless, all the best to you (Matt 6:25-34),

Jim

Hi Rick ! One of these days I will get to see you sing again, I am never in town and lately you aren't either! It is possible I might be working in Houston on the 14th of Dec and if so, I am only about 4 miles away from the club you list on your schedule (Pub Fiction), so who knows - maybe I will see your new band then.......hope it is going well for you.

Rick, Words can not express how proud I am of you. When I was little I always looked up to you, kinda like my big brother. I know that you have worked hard for all of your success and I listen to your cd in my car EVERYDAY I just can't get enough. Not only does your Mom think your wonderful but the whole town of Fredonia is behind you man. Thanks for being an inspiration to all those kids back in Fredonia, knowing now they can actually make something of themselves and possibly get the hell outta dodge. haha! Good going!
