"Dear Mr. Alligator:
Love the Gonzo web design. Sorry I wasn't taking pictures of you guys back then, looks like I missed my brush with the almost famous."
Walter S.
"Fun! Loved seeing your photos! I have no corrections or anecdotes to add to your site. I was too busy singing along (off key), dancing, and flirting to keep up with details. But, I was there at many shows - particularly The Tale of the Fox and Myrtle Beach. And as I approach the age of 50, I am still obnoxiously singing along (off key) and dancing. I gave up flirting. Tonight, as I am tired from starting a school year (I'm a high school assistant principal.) and tired from working on my dissertation, I went to your site and laughed and danced and sang (probably off key, but who cares!)."

"Why is my name not on here? I sang with you guys at least once!! Chuck is this you?"
Johnny S.
"What is this and why is it making appearances on my computer outside the web site???"

"I got a phone call from my brother this evening. Go to this website he says. As I browse through there it brings back so many memories and the most fun anyone could have. What a great time we all had. I will pass this along. It made my day today. Look forward to seeing more stories and memories. I'm going to dig up some of my pictures and pass them along to you. I have some great ones from Murrell's Inlet I think. You need a board for everyone to sign it and leave messages. Would be great to catch up with everyone."
"Rock on Babes!"
Jan J.
"Can I be on your web page?"
Lauren N.
"Someone just told me this site existed, but didn't know the web address so I just typed in johnnyalligator.com and there it was. What a flashback to some truly strange and lurid times. I think about those days with that band and remember with a load of fondness how fun it was. Great job with the site. I'd love to hear what some of the other folks are doing. Any chance for a reunion gig?"
Randy M.
"I have an old friend...a little cobwebby, and one arm needs some more solder...Yes, I have the musical crab!"

"Saw Al Roma & Comet & I'm happy to report they are doing well. Even had a
pop-in by Bag-o-Mag. Enjoyed the memory lane"

"Yo, Maggot! Nice work. Summer memories run rampant. Ocean Drive potsicles arise from the ashes of misspent youth! MacIndouche witnessing signs of the existence of the Almighty when he saw + and - signs at the ends of a lightening strike at sea. Going round in circles at the Riverboat, electrocution holes in Rhodes' fingers and toes, nocturnal and inter-van shotguns."
Joe S.
"Did alligators really attack the armory? Did they bite off Jenkins ear? The names have been changed to confuse the amnesic but the unmistakable stench lives on until the coming of DDSIOS."
Bob R.
"With gas prices what they are, and man they're stinkin', would Jesus drive a 'Hot Rod Lincoln'?"
Charles S.
"Still crazy after all these beers. There really were positive and negative charges visible in those lightening bolts dammit. Some stars too though those may have been reflections of that AWESOME shirt I wore at the Armory!! Love to all."
Rick M.
"Keep up the groove."
Greg C.
"Hello Mr. Alligator,
