| Comments | Soft Machine, I'm with Paul as I write you and I'm wondering when I try to download the sound files why my machine has a hard time recognizing the file. Most Music pages offer wav files which are very easy to work with how about doing that with Paul's page? Let me know or Paul. thanks Mart. [Yeah, the native .wav format is easy for Windows to work with but it has many other disadvantages compared to RealAudio or MP3. See our audio format info page and links to the player softwares....you'll be glad you did.] |

You could sell everything that you have done over the years and not have to burn 100 or a 1000 at a time. Whatdaya think?! If one of the faithful could help me out in this way I would make a donation to your/Paul's favorite charity or something along those lines. Any plans to see the 'left coast' soon? Take Care! Kurt |

| Comments | Hi, Paul. Whenever I make a trip back to MN I always look to see where you're playing, thinking I'll pop in and say hi. I don't know if I told you but I made a video for a Japanese cable station about 5 years back and I wanted to use one of your songs from Whistling Past the Graveyard, but they couldn't find it (so we couldn't pay you royalties) so I had to drop it. Damn, the thought of all these Japanese people paying you money seemed kind of trippy. Oh well next life. I will be back in town in August, I guess you'll be playing at Gabby's, if I get time I'll look you up. Then I'm off to SF to beg for Venture Capital (read Free Money) and back to Tokyo to my real job. Hope to see you.

| Comments | Hi Paul, I am the youngest brother of Mike Doyle. Thankyou for the kind words you had to say about him in a Mesabi Daily News article you were in a couple of years ago. We knew he was good, but had no idea of the influences he had on so many people. It's hard to imagine where Mike would be today if we hadn't lost him. I still have about an hours worth of stuff he recorded 2 weeks before he died and am amazed to this day what he could do with a gutar. It's comforting to know that your achievments as a musician may have followed a similar path that my brother only dreamed of. Thankyou and Keep doing it for all of us. |
