A note from Steve and Ellen Seskin:
Hey everyone! We really love reading your posts on this page, but lately my schedule hasn't allowed me to respond to all the messages here, even though I DO read them all. :) Your questions and comments are important to me and I want to make sure that you don't feel forgotten.

I truly appreciate all the support, either communicated to me or not, that I have gotten from you through all these years. Without you, my music would not be the same!

Closest to Tulsa. But willing to travel! I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and plan on moving home soon...so I will keep checking the calendar. On a writing assignment here for now. Thank you so much Ellen!

Make sure to let us know if you do move back - and I have let Steve know in the meantime that you are hankering for a show!

I would love to come say hi at one of your shows...excepting that you have exactly NONE scheduled according to your calendar. Silly man! (subliminal message...schedule some acoustic concerts...)

Oklahome, huh? What part? I'll pass it along to Steve. You never know!

Steve, remember when I bought your album when you played with Radney Foster in Berkley and made you sign it for Bryan White? Just wanted to say hello and I'm excited about your new music. Happy you're still out there doing your thing!
Ellen/Annie writes:
Wow, Radney Foster? How long ago was that?!!? Thanks for the hello - keep listening, and if you make it to one of my shows, come up and say hi!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show Saturday night. I recall the last show of yours that I had attended at The Keystone...Memorable how you could leave the stage, walk through the club, playing and singing without any amplification while still filling the room with your wonderful song. Thank you AGAIN.
Ellen/Dan B. writes:
I'm so glad you enjoyed the show! The Keystone - wow, haven't thought about that place in a while. Now what's there - art store, photocopy place, restaurants? Thing do change.

oops left off the title of that LP - Greatest Hits

Rick, that's a very nice offer! What did you digitize? Is it the album,"Steve Seskin & Friends Greatest Hits?" If so, we already have it, but thank you anyway!
Looking forward to seeing you at the Palms.

Just took my copy of "Steve Seskin and Friends" and digitized it. If you don't have a digital version and would like to have it, please let me know. Gonna try to get to The Palms on 6/6.

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/Ellen writes:
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.
Ellen/Kristi
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!
