| Doc, Though I'd drop you a line just to say thanks for everything you've done and all you continue to do for me, my career, my family, my records, hey man just everything! Your a great producer and more important a friend. You were there for me when my career started to slow down and with your help and skill, we picked it back up to where it was supposed to be all along. The gigs you got for me when I really needed it, The great records we made together will never be forgotten (we're making some hot records old man). Anyway I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your help, Your my ace in the hole. Let's do it for another 10 years. Take care of yourself man, I need you around.

Greetings, Doc:, I just wanted to send you a quick note
to thank you for all you have done for me in helping me with my career.
As you know, the CD/album you produced at The Power Plant Studios resulted
in not only huge radio play around the world, but got me charted in
several different countries (as well as on the Worldwide Most Played
Chart!).
Your direction, arrangements and song selections just
were wonderful. It was such a pleasure working with you. Not only did I
learn an immense amount about recording and the industry as a whole, but I
had a ball doing it.
I look forward to collaborating with you again in the
near future. I mean, come on...Who else would I trust to produce me
now??? With Best Regards, Jessica Rogers
(Country Recording Artist) PS. Next time I'm in town let's do lunch
again! Love that Chinese place!

From the Desk of Red Hawk Nominated for a 2004 IMA Music Award Native American Music Award Nominee Attn; Doc Holiday Power Plant Studios Dear Doc; I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all the hard work you have put in towards my music and promotions. After our last CD, “The Songs Remember,” won the 2004 TELLY award for music video of the year, I didn’t think it could have gotten any better but, we went on to get a Native American Music nomination, and Independent Music Award nomination, a letter from the President of the United States thanking us for our wonderful tribute to September eleventh and most importantly several first round entries in the 47th annual GRAMMY Awards, wow what a year. And the new CD, “Flight of the Hawk,” released in June under your direction, is already doing better than last years. That GRAMMY is getting closer and closer. You once told me, “It’s just a matter of time.” Thanks again for all your hard work, dedication, and loyalty to the craft and congratulations on becoming a voting member of the Grammy’s. Sincerely yours, Red Hawk Keynote Motivational Speaker EntertainmentWinner 2004 "TELLY" Award for the Music Video from the CD "The Songs Remember" |

Hey Doc, I just wanted to write you a letter to let you know the
great work you did on getting Amanda's media kits ready. I know it was a
labor of love for you because you went way beyond any expectations we
could of had. The Demo CD came out great, the pictures came out fantastic
and I know you put in a lot of extra effort to redo them once we had
already finished so that we could get that perfect look for her. On top
of everything the video you did on Amanda came out extremely professional
and I believe that will be the major selling point. Also the revision of
the Bio by your staff came out much better, cosmetically and word-wise.
All in all I couldn't of imagined any one else doing anywhere near the
quality work you did in getting the media kits together on Amanda and
helping us with everything from A to Z. I just wanted to thank you and
everyone over at Doc Holiday Studios for opening doors for us and helping
us get going with a fantastic start on getting Amanda a Record Deal.
Thanks Doc -
Denis Koci

| From: Stan Edwards, General Manager, Standef Broadcasting Corp. As a member of the broadcasting community, as operator of Radio Stations, both terrestrial and wired/internet, I can personally attest to the credibility of Mr. Doc Holiday and his related companies. They have produced and promoted artists and their records for at least the past 15 years that I know of and have always been professional in their endeavors. Many of their records reached our Top Ten in airplay and when advertising was run on our stations, payment was always made in a prompt manner. Stan Edwards (THE COUNTRY BEAR RADIO) Lake Placid, Florida |
| YO, DOC, You were right on time. I'm number 1 in Richmond on MP3 and the best is yet to come. It's an honor to do bizz with you. I appreciate everything you have done for me. You help make history in my life and for my family. You will be rewarded spiritually on the next plane, I know you feel me. NOD DREAD (International Hip Hop Recording Artist) |

Doc, I can’t thank you enough for the role you have played in my development as an artist. Whether it was helping me find my comfort zone in the studio, arranging a recording session at Quad Studios in Nashville with some of the finest players, producing a hell of an album, booking shows with legends such as David Allan Coe, or just pointing me in the right direction when I needed guidance, I can always count on you to come through in the clutch. Doc, I have accomplished more in one year with your help than I could have done in three by myself. I never would have imagined that one person could have so much experience in this industry and it just proves the fact that you have become a legend for the entire music community. Thank you for your desire and passion of music that enabled you to help so many artists like myself get a foot in the door. Cowboy Up! Johnny Napp (Country Music Recording Artist) |

DOC, JUST A QUICK NOTE TO SAY THANKS FOR ALL THE
WORK YOU DID FOR ME. WITH YOUR HELP I COVERED MORE GROUND THEN ANY ONE
THOUGHT I COULD. WE MADE SOME GREAT RECORDS TOGETHER AND GOT
SOME GREAT AIRPLAY. LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AGAIN SOON.

| Blessings to
you Doc ! Thank you for all the beautiful " Musical Life Adventures &
Experiences" that having you for a friend has allowed me to be a part of
! Yesterday....I believe the year was 2000. I thought I had seen and
done almost it all. !
I was walking down the street with my head held high and my pockets full of
dreams. And I fell into a hole. I had fallen into this hole and I had picked
my self up and dusted myself off and got out of that hole many times before.
This time the hole was much deeper and I didn't really care if I got out or
not. Then we met and it began. You grabbed me out of that hole and dusted me
off and said : Hey Man ! WAKE UP! It's not all about the business and
money! You've been given the "Gift of Music"! You taught me that..... Sad
is to live in solitude. Far from your tranquil attitude. Sad is to know
that no one ever can live in a dream, that never will be, will never be,
dreamer awake, wake up and see. Your beauty is an airplane, fly so high that
can't stand the strain. My musical heart was an empty shell, then you came
along , you smile, and suddenly it's spring! The sound of violins, the sound
of birds high on their wings! You taught my heart to sing ! Now my hearts
filled with song! The miracle of experiences with you will last my whole
life through! When I think of all my musical influences, you're on top of
the list! My Friend...My Counselor.........My Mentor........I think that
there's a time in your life, when you realize that what ever it is that's
eating you,....what ever it is that you're running from,...whatever it is
that you're afraid of.......you just have to stop.....take a deep
breath,.....turn around, and face it. Face it, stick your arms out wide as
you can and embrace it. Hold on real tight! You see the tighter hold you
hold on to it, the smaller it gets and you just embrace it and embrace it
until you find yourself embracing yourself. Then you can move on with peace
of mind! All that stuff, just leave it behind! ( Like the first time you
told me "Go up on that stage and announce all these bands! Or........jump
off of a platform 1,000 foot high on a rubber band in Gatlinburg! DO IT
NOW!!!!!! OK DOC!. Sometimes you don't understand why life is the way it
is. Things don't always go the way you planned them. But I believe God and
time are synonymous and in time God reveals all things. You got to be
still...Standing......Loving...Paying Attention. So sweet the journey when
you learn to love yourself, expect yourself, forgive yourself, believe in
yourself, be yourself. YEAH! THANKS DOC ! I am free of anger, I am free of
fear and my mind is at ease. I don't regret a single yesterday, because
yesterday made me who I am today! And today I am who I am in music because
"The Doctor" healed me! He taught me to walk, and he taught me to talk He
made me cry and taught me to fly! He taught my heart to sing! Keep walking
in that sunshine Doc, cause wherever you go that sunshine lights up
somebody's heart and It begins to sing! You never take more than you give
! LONG LIVE DOC HOLIDAY!!!!! p.s. Oh!!...You're a pretty good producer
too !

| Hey Doc, Just a line to say how much I appreciate your input in my recording career these past 15 or so years. Not many independent labels were charting on Billboard in 1989 but you took my records on to the National Billboard charts 5 times. Not only have you been a great help concerning my solo career you have also boosted the sounds of The Fortunes record sales word wide. Because of the support accorded to me by you and your organization my book sales have tripled in the past year, and the Grammy nomination for my last solo album in 2003 didn't hurt my career one little bit! I look forward to at least another 15 years of working with you and it is with great anticipation that I await the 2005 release of my Jon Washington Greatest Hits album. Thank you for all your help and support through the years my dear old friend. Jon Washington Of The Fortunes (International Recording Artists with over 10 Million Records sold Worldwide) |

Hey DOC!
I wanted to write to say thanks for
everything you have ever done for me. From our first meeting when a band
had to cancel a Canadian tour in 1988 and my band (The Tracy Wilson Band)
filled in for them , you and I have always gotten along great! Then we
cut "Roadman" and got another Canadian tour ( The Blazing Trail
Tour) which we set all kinds of attendance and bar sales records. You
really know how to get publicity and produce talent. You 've worked me
hard in the studio and it was always worth it. You have always been a
great confidant and friend. I thank you always, Your friend,
Tracy Wilson

Dale M. Herr Greenbrier, TN Mr. Doc Holiday, Power Plant Studios, 2708 Build America Drive, Hampton, VA 23666 Dear Doc, This is to say thanks for the great experience that my Nashville colleagues and I have had working with you over the years. In particular, our most recent collaborations have been especially noteworthy. I’ve discovered over the years that your sense of musical craftsmanship and imagination gives us the freedom to escape the “cookie cutter” mentality that so often strangles us in the record business. Also, because of your refreshing approach, I find that the best session players are always eager to play your dates. As you know, besides working on records, I am very heavily involved in scoring music for network television and feature films. Therefore I have a great appreciation for a producer who can bring a project in on time and on budget - as you have done in every instance where I have participated. I wish you much continued success and look forward to the next project we do together. Very Best Regards, Dale Herr , President, RhythmMax Productions, Inc., Contributing composer – The Simpsons, That 70’s Show, Bernie Mac, The Today Show |

It is so long since I touched base with you,
I just got the CD from Johnny Napp a little while ago. The first chance
I had to give a spin was the other day. I must trust your production an
awful lot because I didn't pre-listen to any of them, I just put three
tracks to air based on their titles.
I am rapt in the CD I think this young man
is excellent and well done to you on your brilliant production.
You will find the songs I played on
yesterday's play list that I posted on the net.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Sherryl Chilcott

| Hi Doc, This letter is long overdue, but my appreciation
for the time you took to have a word with me has remained constant all the
while. It was reassuring to find that we were on the same page about so many
aspects of the business. I can think of few people in this kind of work of
whom I've heard it said that they truly deserve the reputation and success
they enjoy, You are one of them!

Hampton, VA 23666
Doc Holiday;
I want to thank you for your expertise in
the production of "Goin' Down Mis'sippi." I have always wanted to record
and release the original music that was inside of me. This dream could
have never materialized without the 50+ years of experience you bring to a
project. I was unaware of the myriad of minute details and pitfalls that
this industry possesses. The conversations and face to face interactions
we have had has shown me the enormous dues you have paid.
The time at "Power Plant Studios" was
productive and direct. I like the no nonsense, get down to business
attitude that was flying through the session. I have done studio work in
the past, and too much time and money is wasted when producers don't have
a solid "blueprint" of the product development. The equipment at the
studio is top dollar, but of no use if the technical knowledge is not
there. This is not the case at the "Power Plant."
Post production amazed me! The additional
lines enhanced the songs I had written, but did not lose the feel that I
was striving for. The sense of dynamics of you and your staff is nothing
short of miraculous. The artwork captured the essence of the product, and
the soul of my being.
Now the business end of the Mega staff
takes over. This was one of the finer, but critical, details that I was
unaware of. The relationships in the industry that your organization has
developed, are more than impressive. The marketing team works
relentlessly in the wings, while the artists, musicians, engineers, and
producers stand center stage. They truly are the unsung heroes of the
finished product.
Lastly, I cannot thank you enough for the
peace of mind you instilled in me. The more I learn of this industry, the
more anxiety and frustration I feel. But not on Doc Holiday's team!! You
recognized my insecurities and anticipated my concerns. Just like a
doctor treats the whole patient, Doc Holiday treats the whole artist.
Sincerely;
Johnny Fung (International
Recording Artist)
