-The following are the letters sent to CAROLINE BLUE and their replies…Back in the days before Facebook (hell, before My Space!) one of the ways that people communicated w/ CAROLINE BLUE was via email (and even the occasional “snail mail” letter!). From 2002-2005, the CAROLINE BLUE page had a “LETTERS” page. People would write in and WWJ (plus sometimes one of the others) would do their best to answer / respond. Yes, we know that 2004 is missing. 🙂 Things were quite busy for WWJ & “The Crew” back then. As you can see, an attempt was made to post letters starting w/ what was then current letters in Jan. of 2005. Perhaps one day the letters from 2004 will make it up here…..
-In addition, please note, all links that were on the old website for this page have been removed. Many of them went to pages that no longer exist (mostly bands).
-Please also note that, as per the format, the letters and responses are posted in reverse order. This means that, starting from the top, are letters from 2005 and as you read and scroll down they regress back towards 2004, 2003, etc.

You guys need to have a show down here…I’m dying to go see a good show! And there’s quite a lot of my friends, who have bands down here. and I’ve told them about you. They wanna experience your music, most of my friends are in heavy metal bands….star says this shall happen-so mote it be dammit!! *giggle giggle* But seriously….don’t make me stalk you! *he he* love you guys!
Star-Pennsville,NJ
We actually have talked about hitting NJ for a few shows. If you could, email us some info about the scene there-clubs/bands/etc….website links would help too….Hopefully we’ll be there soon. Metal J has been around the scene out there a little bit and knows a number of people out there.

Awsome!!! OMG (In the Crazy Fan voice)-my name is on your disc. Awsome! Thank you as well for allowing me to help you. I love helping at being at your shows…..On the solo instrumental #11; are you working on words to go with that or is that just something for fun? I think it’s very pretty (sorry if that’s too girly).
Sincerely,
Gabriel K.-Syracuse,NY
That track-named Inertia-was made to help all the insomniacs of the world get some sleep-HA! No words for it-just a simple little instrumental piece. There was actually suppose to be an effect on it, but there wasn’t enough time to get it right so it was left off. Oh well….maybe when it’s remastered in 10 years….

You put a lot of time into your website. It shows. Is this entirely your work? I know I spoke with you about this before,but I wasn’t sure this was all your work. If it is,nice job!
Zoey-Syracuse,NY
Thanks Zoey! Yes-I put the whole site together and maintain it-but CAROLINE BLUE wouldn’t be what it is without the sum of ALL of it’s members. Otherwise I’d just call this band “Wayne.” 🙂
Actually-I couldn’t do that even if I wanted to cause there’s already a band called “Wayne”…..Go figure….
WAYNE

Wayne,
Well, you’re always asking me what I’ve been doing with my painting. I got inspired awhile back but tried to ignore it cuz it was a subject I’m not very good at. I hoped and hoped this idea would go away on its own,but all it did was fester,and give me the worst case of painter’s block I’ve ever had. Let me know if you can’t get it open-cuz this one is all for you.
RnRPaintGrl-Syracuse,NY
Wow-that is great! Very cool! It is very much appreciated RNRPG….To see her painting,click on the link to our FAN ART. Thank you very much!

The only show they have at the moment is on Halloween at Bleachers (see SHOWS).

……You dunt like post those (pictures) anywhere do u?……
The Queen of Skullz-Somewhere in Cyberspace.
Yes,this is from a legit email.Not everyone uses their real name.The reason I put that part on here is to address an issue. Some people see me at clubs all the time taking pics-it’s what I do. They wonder if I’ll post them on the site-specifically the FANS,FRIENDS, & FREAKS page. The only pics that will be posted on that page will be from CAROLINE BLUE events and that person has to have a member of the band in the pic with them. Hope this clears up things! Thanks!

9/8/2003
Wayne,
No problem for coming out the other night…Had a lot of fun seeing many people I haven’t seen in awhile…I meant every word I said when I told you this was the best version of Caroline Blue I have seen yet….You seemed way more comfortable up there on stage with a solid rhythm section behind you…I was VERY impressed with what I saw…
The drummer reminded me so much of my old friend Paul Grillo behind those drums it was scary (remember him? He was the 21 year old drummer that died from Czar and New Reign).
If I get a chance tomorrow at work I’ll post a message on the forum…or I could hire a man to break that little drummer guy’s legs if he doesn’t continue to play with Caroline Blue….I don’t think he realizes just how hard you work at promoting Caroline Blue…I see every email you send, every flyer you post…you’re a hard worker man…and I respect that very much. 🙂
Latah,
Big Billy B.-The Back Alley Boys
Big Bill,
Thank you very much for the props-it’s VERY much appreciated. I try. Glad you had a good time last Saturday. I think that if there was a MVP award for that night it would go to “Small.” He pulled thru with flying colors-and with basically only 1 rehearsal with the band! As for him staying with the band,it would be great-but that’s totally his decision. And whatever it is,I will respect it. I mean, what other guy can do all that powerhouse drumming while wearing leather pants??? 🙂 For those of you who may have missed the show, this upcoming Friday (9/12) will be your chance to catch “Small” in action! Go to the SHOWS page for details! Again Billy-thanks for the props-even though my work has just begun…..
WAYNE

Hey Wayne & Ham,
I’m an old friend of Jamie Criscione…Lewis…whatever his name is. Guessing that Jim checks this site out and knowing his ego I thought I’d post and inquire about him. Kind of bust his balls and keep him thinking…..
Wayne,I don’t know if you remember me,but I actually hung out with Jim when you joined the band (FRONT ROW)…..I think I actually have some old video of you playing at The Lost Horizon. I stumbled across your site while searching the net for anything musical that related to another old friend,Fran Scaglione. Jim has him listed as his favorite drummer in his facts stats thing. Glad I found the site. Always thought you were an excellent guitar player. Randy was good too, but kind of boring to watch. You have flash man.
Ham, you probably don’t remember me. I was friends with Chaz & JC-The All Americans. I was also a cameraman for many of your live shows and a few of the shows taped at the boxing gym….I watched the interview that you guys did for UMTV-it was on their website-and thought that you looked familiar. Looks like you’ve added some meat to your bones since the wrestling days…you were a stick then…hair looks the same.
Small fucking world! Anyway,I’m glad I found the site. Would love to hear more tunes.Rock on.
Not JC-Somewhere in Cyberspace…
Thank you very much for the kind words. It’s easy to tell what Jim’s name is.It’s Jim unless he puts on that jacket that he wore on stage back in 92-92….then he becomes JAMIE CRISCIONE-SAVIOR OF CIVILIZATION & PROTECTOR OF ITALIANS EVERYWHERE!!!…..Just ask him,he’ll tell ya….(HA!). Very cool to hear from you-I vaguely remember the name-didn’t you help tape a show at Big Bertha’s one time? I think I have that on tape. I’ll keep ya informed on what’s going on here and hope everything is going well. Take care.
WAYNE
8/7/2003
Nice job guys!!!! LOVE the ICEMAN!!!
Marvereno-Ozone
Thanks dude! Marv’s talkin about the new CAROLINE BLUE video “Mine,Mine,Mine” which was on this night on UMTV. The Iceman is the $1200 guitar I was using-it’s an original 1978 Paul Stanley Ibanez Iceman guitar. Very awesome!!

I’ll be checking out the rest of the tape after I send this, and will give you my impressions, for whatever THEY’RE worth! lol Just want to say HUGE thanks once again for the tape; and I’ll do my best to send people to the CAROLINE BLUE site. My compliments to you and the band on a job VERY well done! Take care.

7/10/2003
Wayne,
I was on the site last night. It looks good. I have to say one thing, you do not generate any so-so feelings. They either feel very strongly for or against whatever they have to say. What did poor Ham do to deserve that kind of comment? Feed him chips?? Really. People never cease to amaze me. The poll was an easy one. Still waiting for the CD! I will take a look at the UMTV site for the new video. I am glad things seem to be moving forward for you and that they continue to do so.
Later,
Susan- Albany,NY
Thanks Susan-great to hear from ya! I know the LETTERS page is a little slow since we put up the Forum and the Guestbook is always entertaining, but it’s great to still get emails. Personally, I think once Ham put on that jacket during the interview-all bets were off! (HA!) I’ll let you-and anyone who will listen-know when the video can be seen! It’s awesome! Thanks again Susan. Take care.

HAM-Syracuse,NY
3/8/2003
$50,000 per year plus health benefits and 401k in a written contract will get you this pro drummer for 12 hours a day,5 days a week. That’s cheap if your serious. I also write, play bass, guitar and keyboards.

Dear CAROLINE BLUE,
Hi Wayne! I get your printouts, but they come too late for me and Lori to see you. I just got the one today that says you’re suppose to play at The Red Door North on 2/22/2003. Obviously I wasn’t able to make it! I’d really like to come and see you and so would Lori so let us know a week in advance. Keep sending your letters.My new address is (…………..).
Jane-North Syracuse,NY.
Hiya Jane! Believe it or not, it WAS sent out a week early this time! Obviously, the change in address caused a delay. Sorry you guys missed the show-it was a good one! Unfortunately, there are times when the snail mail newsletters aren’t received in time. That’s why we urge everyone to sign up via email-cause then you can get the newsletter right away! Plus you can also get updates on stuff like last minute shows and stuff. We will be sending out a little notice sometime soon urging people to switch to the email signup. We won’t cancel the snail mail people-people can’t help if they don’t have a computer-but with the costs rising, it’s sometimes hard to get things out promptly. Hope to see you guys at the next show!

Hi Wayne,
Hope you had a great birthday.I know,I’m a few days behind. I’m looking forward to checking out the band with the new guys (even though Marv isn’t really “new” to me!). It has been WAY too long since I’ve seen you on stage! It’s kinda funny, I was going to go to the Sub-Urban show and decided not to at the last minute, otherwise I would’ve seen you there! OK, well I wanted to wish you a happy birthday so there you have it! Take care.

Wayne,
I am so sorry I could not make it to the show. I thought I had planned so carefully in order to show up for the first live show since I met you. Only to have fate intervene and along with work being such a disaster, managing to park the SAAB in a snow bank and burning out the transmission was just icing on the cake. I really hope things went well!!! Hopefully, I will be able to make the next one.
All my best,

Hey WWJ,
Here’s some tips about women you won’t read about in Cosmo:
1)-“Calling Dr.Love” does not have to be played as you enter the bedroom. Despite the initials WWJ, you are NOT a professional wrestler and, therefore, you do not require an entrance “theme” song…
2)-When asked,”How was it ?,”…don’t reply,”…You’ll read about it in the book!”….
3)-When saying goodbye the next morning, you should not give her a CAROLINE BLUE business card as a memento!…
4)-Don’t stand on the bed afterwards and perform “The Spotlight.”….
5)-When you see her in her Victoria Secret’s, don’t say,”…I think I wore that onstage once…”….
Merry Christmas Brother!

As for “Queenie,” I guess my response is the same that she keeps voting on the current poll….”No Comment.” Thanks again!

Hi Wayne,
I just wanted to take the time to let you know that the site looks really good. Nice job! I’m hoping to get out to see the band before I move….Your hair looks awesome in the pics….Take care and I wish you continued success in your venture!
Georgene-(Weaves Gone Wild)
Thank you very much for those kind words! I hope you get to see the band out soon too! Can’t wait to get out on stage again.But we’re trying to get the CD done and we also just filmed a video for UMTV. Thank you very much for the hair compliment-then again,the only reason why it looks so good is cause you guys at Weaves Gone Wild (Click on their Banner on LINKS) take good care of it. I should be in sometime soon so you guys can get it out of the mess I made it into 😀 Take care.

Hi,
Where are you playing tonight? Thanks.
Pete-CyberSpace
Hiya Pete,
Thanks for the question! CAROLINE BLUE doesn’t have any shows lined up at the moment. They’re in the midst of trying to finish off their handy-dandy CD. It better be awesome if it’s takin’ this long boy howdy! We did learn that CAROLINE BLUE is filming a brand new video for UMTV this very night-as well as tomorrow night! Check on da NEWS link for more info.Well….? Whatcha waitin’ for????? Ciao.

Hey there…
I checked out your promo and it rocks. Loved it…Forums do seem to attract all sorts of interesting characters and all their silliness….Hope to see you at a show soon too.

Thank you very much! Great hearing from the hottest member of the mighty Thunderosa! If ya wanna see what they’re up to, go to LINKS and click on da Thunderosa banner-it’s pretty intense! And hopefully there will be a forum here before the end of November. Cya soon Foxx E…

Hey,
Dude I saw your promo! I watched it three times in a row because it kicked so much ass! I LOVE the way it was put together…and especially at the end when you…I don’t remember if you punch at the camera or something and there’s a BOOM! sound…and then the promo cuts off after that…THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!…did Mike see it yet? 😀
Cristl :)-(Day Glo Crazies)
Hey Back!
Wow-talk about having one’s ego yanked into the stratosphere! Thank you so very much Cristl! You are much too kind! I had the idea in my head for that promo for months and it’s so great to have it now become reality. Looks like someone got to see it a little early-it hasn’t aired on UMTV yet. 😀 Hopefully in a week or 2. I’ll have the “crew” post it up here when it airs. And yes, Mikey saw it. I surprised him with that “move” I did during the middle-you’d think after all those years of being on stage together that nothing I do would surprise him yet….CAROLINE BLUE is arriving on UMTV. And this is only just the beginning!

Wayne,
I have been hearing about you for over a year from Gail and when she introduced us I couldn’t think of a single thing to say. I could tell you it was because I was so overcome by your charms but in reality, by that time, I had such a miserable headache from too much sun that I could barely remember my own name. I just finished looking at your site, and-Please, please don’t cut your hair off! It is absolutely gorgeous-you can take that as a late vote for your last poll. Otherwise, I enjoyed the pictures. Loved the one of Mike you had mentioned. Anyway, I am sorry I did not get a chance to talk to you and wanted to know if you were coming to Albany on August 2nd for D.O.M. at Northern Lights? I have to ask about the statement,
“I also seem to be pretty good at makin’ women hate me (3 and counting…)”
There has got to be a story behind that one.I hope I get the chance to hear it.
Susan-Albany,NY
With letters like that, no wonder I have such a lead on the current poll (HA!). Thank you very much for the compliments Susan. You’re too kind. Don’t worry-I don’t plan on cutting my hair until I start balding-which shouldn’t be for quite awhile (knock on wood). We did have a show planned for 8/2,but it fell thru so I’ll probably be at DOM’s show. They’re an awesome band and I’m usually at their shows anyway (go to LINKS and click on the Dogs On Mars link). As for that quote (which is from FACTS’N’STATS), those women are very beautiful and are good people, but you can’t please everyone. Not even me-Mr.Ego (HA!). Talk to ya soon and take care.

Don’t listen to the other people!!! Talk to you soon.
Jerimi-(Day Glo Crazies)
Those polls sure are somethin’ huh? Wayne didn’t cut his hair at all actually-well, he did buy some Nair for the 5-6 hairs he has on his chest 😀 . For those who don’t know what this is about, click on ARCHIVE and look at the past polls. And while you’re at it, go to the LINKS page and check out the Day Glo Crazies.

Hey Wayne,
Actually,musically you guys sounded pretty good the other night.The mix was a little muddy and the guitar solos were buried (but not to the point where you couldn’t hear what was being played) but overall-great show.Questionable mixes happen to everyone…you know that by now 🙂
You do a great job singing AC/DC.I was pretty surprised at your vocals actually.To me, you sound like Paul Stanley. I was hoping you guys were going to break into “Black Diamond” or something.
Go ahead and put me on your newsletter. I’ll try to make it to more of your shows. I had a lot of fun the other night. Saw the mention of “Big Bill Blanchard” on your NEWS page…LOL.T ake it easy.
William Blanchard-Syracuse,NY
Bill,
You’re much too kind-Thank you very much! Glad you had a good time. The newsletters are on their way. And for those of you who want to hear some great instrumental music, go to the LINKS page and click on Bill’s link-there’s some great stuff! Take care.

Hey,
I was wondering if you might be able to help suggest some good places for local bands to play when they’re just starting out. Troop 204 is the name of the band. Their style is like the Deftones.They have more originals than covers. They cover My Own Summer, Head Up, Back To School and a few others.They’re working on some Papa Roach too. They’ve had a show at Armory High in Syracuse and had a decent turnout. Now they’re looking for more places to play. If you can help with any kind of suggestions I would really appreciate it. If you can think of anything please e-mail me back. Thanks so much 😉
Jessica B.-Syracuse,NY
Jessica,
Here’s a few places you can try:
(1)-Bleachers/Syracuse-(451-4841)-they’re starting to have heavier bands there so they might be worth a try.
(2)-Lost Horizon/Syracuse-(446-1934)
(3)-Planet 505/Syracuse-(471-8646)
(4)-Gatherings By Design/Phoenix-(695-3950)
(5)-Club 48/Fulton-(593-6666)
(6)-The Brickhouse/Fulton-(598-1529)
Don’t really know about the Fulton ones, but it can’t hurt to try right? Hope this helps out. Take care.

How R things? Who’s in the band who’s playin Bass? Just curious.
Joe-Liverpool,NY
Things are going well with CAROLINE BLUE-albeit a little slower than I’d like. Check out the NEWS link for more info. Roy St. James is still playin’ the “B-Ass Guitar”-but at the show at The Red Door North, on 6/1, a bassist named “JC” will be there. Also, there might be an additional member up on stage w/ us. Check out the SHOWS link for more info. Hope to see ya at the show!

Where do you guy’s mostly play and how often do you play a month? The site is pretty cool!
Tom-Baldwinsville,NY

At the moment, CAROLINE BLUE mainly plays in Oswego County-specifically in the Fulton/Phoenix area. The band plans to expand into Oswego and Syracuse soon. Shows are a little sparse at the moment, but they will soon pick up. Glad to hear from ya! Take care.

Hi.I’m writing about a possible gig for the CAROLINE BLUE band. This would be on Thursday May 23rd during the day, possibly at 11 or 12 o clock in the afternoon for maybe 2 hours. It would be at Jamesville Dewitt High School, in Dewitt NY, outdoors if weather permits. If not, inside of the gym possibly. It’s sponsored by our student government,and we really have no clue how much something like this would cost. We wanted to replace the crappy DJ of years past. This leaves us able to spend $200 to $300 on musical entertainment. If you could let me know how much something like this would usually cost, or if it would even be possible on this day, it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
Tim-Syracuse,NY
Unfortunately, CAROLINE BLUE won’t be able to play that show. If I may suggest, go to the LINKS section on this site. There are several bands who might be able to help-like Dogs on Mars. In regards to expenses,the biggest thing will probably be PA. Is there one already there (not just a simple school one,but one for a band) or does the band have to bring one in ? If the later, your costs will probably be higher. PA rentals range from $150-$300+,which may or may not include a sound man to run it. One of the reasons why bands are so damn poor :-D. Hope this helps. Take care.

The President of Roy’s “Fan Club For Men” has spoken!…now we know there’s at least one person who wants to visit the CAROLINE BLUE Diner and order a “Moons Over My Hammy” from Mr. St. James!

Maybe it has something to do with his time in prison…:-D Course, you can vote on the MONTHLY POLL as often as you like so….maybe it’s some drunk guy who keeps freeze framing old FRONT ROW videos of Dave in spandex :-D. Or maybe the votes are from that legion of midget-stalkers that hound him wherever he goes! Most people seem to agree that Dave has the goods. If you feel differently, go to the poll and vote!

Gaelical4-Oswego,N.Y.
The drummer’s name is David Scott Victory the 12th and we hear he likes women who can beat him up on a daily basis. Strange-but everyone has their thing 😀 Actually we asked Dave and this was his response:
DAVE
“Tell her I said hi and to come to the next show wearing a scarf-and only a scarf-so I know which one is you.”
Spoken like the true lady killer that he is! Thanks for the great question! C-ya at the show. (Only a scarf huh? Hmm). Bye!

Wayne was gonna respond but I thought it would be better if I did. Bucky is my nickname. My real name is Rebeka-and I’m 100% female thank you very much!

Hey guys! Just wondering who you are bringing into the band. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make this show. Is this a permanent thing? Hopefully I can catch the next show.
Julie-Fulton,N.Y.
Thanks for the question-Wayne seems to just keep us all locked up till we’re needed so it’s nice to get some feedback. According to Wayne, Roy St.James was unavailable for this show (rumor has it he’s searching for Diamonds in Chicago) so Scott Coon (AKA “Scooner” and “Chachi”) will be filling in on the “B-Ass Guitar.” Sorry you can’t get to a show.
