Hey Steve,
I don't know if you remember me but I took some songwriting classes a few years ago at your house. (I lived in sacramento at the time) Anyway...I just ordered a bunch of your cds b/c the cds I had of yours were stolen. I was so mad to find out of all the cds stolen, yours were in that bunch... Urrrrr!!!! Can you sign one for me if you don't mind? That would be awesome! One of the ones stolen you had signed for me, oh so long ago.. LOL..I hope all is going great for you Ellen and your boy. I hope to catch another of your songwriting gigs the next time I am in Nashville (blue bird Cafe, Rocks!! ) Well Take Care. Love Tammy K.

Tammy, I'm so sorry to hear your cd's were stolen! When we receive your order, Steve would be happy to sign one for you before we send them out. I hope whoever took yours gets hit with a lot of really bad karma.

Steve, I have lived in Nashville on & off since 1983. I had never been to the Bluebird until last night. Wow!!!! What a first experience...just incredible. I soooo enjoyed my night. What a gift God has given the four of you. Thanks for sharing and making our first venture to the Bluebird a memorable one
Ellen/Ann writes:
Ann - I'm so glad you enjoyed the show. The Bluebird is a special place, and Steve always hand picks great people to perform with. He plays there several times a year - keep your eye on the schedule, if you want to see him again. I think (not sure) he'll be there in June and September.

David White from Sharp Creek Elementry is my grandson and I want to take the time to thank you for allowing David to get up and sing with you at the Honeywell Center. He loves to sing and has been singing since he has been about three years old. He does not have one shy bone in his body. When he got up in front of our church and sang Ill Fly Away this past May there was 250 people in church on that day. He has been the subject of bullying since he has started school due to his weight and his overall kindness and unwillingness to stand up for himself. He was moved out of one school to go to another school due to being bullying on a daily basis. He enjoyed every minute up on the stage with you. Once again Thank You for your kindness and all of your efforts to stop bullying, and to try and show children how to deal with the situations.

Cheryl,
Steve actually told me about your son, and that he came up to sing with him. What a wonderful boy he must be! I am so sorry he had to change schools because of bullying. Steve is very proud of the work he does, but we are both sad that it is so desperately needed. Tell David that when he grows up, he will have more friends than the kids who are doing the bullying. Tell him that it's ok for him to stick up for himself, but also that it's ok if he doesn't want to. I hope both he and the other students at the school remember what they learned from Steve's visit. Please keep in touch, and let me know how David is doing.

Hi Steve
It was a pleasure meeting you today and getting to see and hear the song our third graders put together with you at School. It was very humbling. Thank you!!

Steve is so glad you enjoyed the weekend! He is still out of town for a while but will be sending you some songs as soon as he can.

Of course we remember Bruce! I didn't know him for as long as Steve, but I remember him as a really special person. We still have a cat statue he gave us when we got married - one of the few things we still have from the gifts we received. It lives next to our fireplace, and will always be there.
I also remember and LOVE the song he wrote - I think it was called "I'm Calling You" or "Can You Hear Me?" It was on a recording that Steve did as an album and a cassette tape. He's out of town for about a month, but when he gets home he will look for a copy - then I can have it converted to MP3 and email it to you.

My brother was an early supporter of yours, his name was Bruce Nelson. You sang a beautiful song at his memorial service. Do you remember the song and is it on any of your CD's?

Stumbled on your name through a writer, Roger Murrah. Still have one or your originals. Do you remember my wife, an RN at Disney, hosting you and you family into the park? Just listened to "Bad paper". What a knee slapper. There doesn't seem to be a way to send PIX of us at the fest on this venue. Contact us at alanndee@cox.net. TTFN

Steve asked me to let you know that he may be at the Palms again in January. The best way to find out if and when that is happening is to get on his mailing list. You can do that from his website.
Ellen/Cindy
Steve wanted me to let you know that he's actually in the process of trying to book a songwriting seminar and concert in Seattle. The best way to know if and when he's appearing is to sign up on this website for his mailing list. That way you'll be sure to hear about it.
Thanks for writing!

are you ever in the Houston area? I use to go see you years ago in Mt View Ca at a little steak house. I had all your albums. Would love to see you again!

Great Website. how fun to hear you again. Used to see you at the Headquarter Restaurant in Seattle. good music and good times. Taught my children to sing Blue Music when they were toddlers. Remember that? you have one of the sweetest voices ever. Do you ever come to Seattle?

Any chance Steve will be back at the Palms in Winters any time soon?

Steve did indeed sing (and record) "Sailboat," written by Jonathan Edwards. I believe it's on one of his older tapes. Unfortunately, my computer crashed and I lost my digital copies of his albums, but if you send me your address I'd be happy to send you the tape.
As far as the other song, it could be "Like Family." Does that sound familiar? If so, I can probably find that for you, too.

Did Steve Seskin ever sing a song called 'Sail Boat'? I can only find a version of it by Jonathan Edwards but it's not quite right from what I remember growing up listening to. I was certain my mother always played it from one of Seskin's albums but I can't find which one among her cassettes to digitize, much less a CD/digital version.
Also hoping to find another song I remember, one with the lyric "Like two ships set sail together". Any idea if that was on the same album?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sorry we don't have a digital copy of This Good Tonight - it's about the only album we don't have! Anything else I can entice you with?

Just was cleaning out the attic and found my treasured LP... This Good Tonight. I am now jones-ing for a fix, and have long pass tossed my turntable. What gives? Why can't we be treated to a digital copy? Monterey Whaling Company + Steve still have never left our lives.
