Helloooo Gilli!!! Thank you sooo much for your
newsletter!! I feel inspired by all you do and all the
services you provide as well! I have seen
you sing in LA a while back, and I felt you were a fire cracker..
amazingly powerful and touching!! thank you!! Anita
Thanks Gilli, we are truly fans. You are inspirational, brilliantly
talented and your energy is contageous...music runs through your soul - SONGSINC
I put it on (your music) while cleaning up in the kitchen and doing
some packing for my PA trip (I leave tonight!). I kept coming back into
the living room and standing between the speakers, with a smile on my
face! I listened to the whole Woman CD straight thru, without stopping,
and turned it up twice during the run. First off, you've got yourself
quite a set of pipes, my dear! And I love what you do with your
voice…sadly missing, in my opinion, in a lot of records these days (ohhhh,
these kids today…) is that there's no VOCAL ARRANGEMENTS going on. I guess
people are lazy, or they don't know how to do it. But your layered voices
are all over the place, dynamically AND harmonically. As you can probably
tell from some of my tracks, I LOVE it when artists 'take the trouble' to
work up sets of vocals around the lead…it gives SUCH an added dimension to
a record, and I so love that you pay such attention to the vocals,
especially with that incredible voice you've got. I also love the
soundstages you create. No two are exactly alike…so rare these days when
all the songs from top-to-bottom sound homogenous, to the point of being
annoying and tiring for me. You are definitely not afraid to throw down to
'tape' what's in your head, so refreshingly unbound by what the 'rules
are'. The engineering is cool, too. 'Do You Wanna? KICKS ASS, and there's
a few others whose energy/drum ambience I particularly perked up at…I
think it was 'Someone to Love' and Bop to the Rhythm' that come to
mind…believe me, I was noting the track #s as they went by. I also dug
'Damaged or Broken'…but really the whole thing was a treat, a journey
(just like what you said about 'the Goddess') which I think is the mark of
any well-put-together album. Also the closer, the 'Woman' remix. They just
kept coming! AND ANOTHER THING…I like that the songs were basically
piano-driven, but that guitars were still there, and they sounded great,
too. The piano provides a nice anchor, a you-can-count-on-me stability or
presence that allows ALL that other stuff to bounce off of so nicely,
setting up everything for maximum impact. Thank you for presenting that
record to me…I love it when a record like that (and the other one I'm
familiar with, extraOrdinary life) comes off so powerful, but not that
phony corporate-big-label-compressor-driven power. No, what you have
offered with your work, Gilli, is the Real Deal. And, I dig the artwork
also…the front cover is great; I wonder what the thought was that was
going thru your mind the instant that shot was taken! Hee hee... Whatever
you do, KEEP MAKING MUSIC.
Fondly, George Arthur Wallace
it was great meeting you in nashville. I started reading your book
yesterday and already find myself completely inspired by it. thank you for
staying organized enough to get it written! (in between all the other
things you have going on.) I am listening to extraOrdinary life right now,
and it’s a fantastic record. I wish I had your voice, but… the story in
your book about your friend, who is a fantastic songwriter but unhappy
because she’d rather think of herself as a singer, was a great example for
me. I’ve got a lot of talents, and my writing is the strongest. sure, a
little singing, a little guitar, I’m a ballsy performer, but all of it
revolves around my writing. working in close partnership with a
world-class musician the last few years has left me longing for more of
the things I don’t have that much of and not being thankful enough – or
reliant enough – on the things that I DO have in abundance. that story
unlocked something in me that’s needed unlocking for a while, and I wanted
to share that with you. planning to take my first look around Songsalive!
tonight, time permitting. though I joined in nashville I haven’t explored
it yet. maybe I need to make a to-do list. now THERE’S an idea, lol.
anyway, very glad to have gotten to know you a bit.
you rock.

It's wonderful what you are creating and you are a continual
inspiration to musicians and people, like me, who want to make a
difference. Thanks Kris Searle
So I'm thinking about all this time I've been following your exploits
and realizing that really all this time I've been a fan of you, the
industrious artist, and for some ridiculous reason had not immersed myself
in the music and gotten off my bum to come see you play, only to find I'm
now a complete and holistic fan, if you will, of the entire package. You
were absolutely fabulous and, as you autographed, an inspiration to my
artistry! It was a wonderful evening all together but I have to say Gilli,
your storytelling ability and connection to the songs truly sets you
apart. I haven't felt that drawn in since I saw Annie Lennox at the Bowl.
It's the kind of skill where you could read the phonebook and make it
into a compelling story. Literally gave me chills, made me cry and laugh.
Truly and wonderfully unique and what I will heretofore call, Gilliesque,
experience. Melissa loved you as well and made very similar comments. I
will joyously look forward to the next song-fest and bringing new
soon-to-be-fans with me! ~ K.C
I finally sat down to spend some quality time with Gilli’s music &
philosophy. In the end, I was rejoicing and giving thanks for some of the
most beautiful, inspiring moments of truth and music. “WOW” is all I can
say right now…I simply need to catch my breath and take it all in. What an
amazing gift she shares… Thank you! - Andrea Standley
THANK YOU right now,from the very top of my heart,for everything you
are creating.You're doing us all a great service with your music,your
vibe,your overall being.Thank you so much from one artist in the community
that you're both living in,serving to,and creating in,around,and for.You
have my gratitude. GROOVEandDOOM-clay phillips

talented and your energy is contagious...music runs through your soul SONGSINC
I have now heard your cd (extraOrdinary life), and I love it. Why? is
probably way more interesting than me giving it a bunch of roses. Your
sound reminds me of ... well me! Your voice is very good and it mixes very
well with the rock universe you place it in. Innocence and energy- it's
very powerful and inspiring. You stick to your own thing- and don't let
what is the "in sound" or trendy at the moment influence you - a rare and
admirable quality. - Petina
Having seen you at the Xmas party and then reading your book I've come
to the conclusion you are a human dynamo of artistic and business activity
that operates with integrity and concern for the wellbeing of others.
Thanks for the support and the sacrifices you've made on my and others
behalf. Hope you have an enjoyable Christmas with family and a flourishing
new year.
Tutwiler Station (Alex V)
Thank you for sharing your heart, spirit, and passion through your
poetry. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I'm always inspired by you.
Blessings.

Thank you for being you, for contributing to this business in such an
inspiring and wholesome way. People like you drive me on, though there are
days I think...I've done it/am doing it all 'backwards'. There's no such
thing. We just live our lives. We live them well.
Many thanks to you for just putting yourself out there. The Mandela
quote you have on the warrior girl website is very inspiring...I spend a
lot of time apologizing for being who I am in order to not make others
feel bad, so thanks for that wake up call. I wish you cosmic, eternal
success, Leslie Moruza
great performance at genghis. i just wanted to let you know how much i
enjoyed your performance and meeting you; it was very cool that i got a
signed copy of your cd.
i attended one of your sessions at the TAXI road rally, ...well i
bought your cd and book that day, and i'm part way through the book and
just listened to the whole cd. thanks for just existing the way you are.
how inspiring. and as soon as i got to your site, the song "be" started to
play. JUST WAY TOO SEXY< I"M SORRY! your whole cd was a real pleasure. i
just let it roll without interruption as i layed back on a couch that is
the same green as the cd. and i thought: later i will check out her
website....and then i got distracted.....and then i found your site when i
went to my friend Irish Hugh's website! you see, that's psychic something.
i grew up away from cities too. hope i can be the opening act for you
someday. all the pictures of you on your cd are good, and that color of
green is...supreme or something. right on. see you later, and god bless
you.
--ben
Just want you to know that you inspire me. You continue to move forward
with grace while blazing a trail for yourself and those around you. You
have a great blast of energy in your being and it is all for good.
Blessings...

Hi Sweet Girl!
Thank you so much! It was lovely meeting you BUT seeing you perform
knocked me out! You are not only a skilled and talented singer/songwriter
but your stage presence is AMAZING. You owned everyone in that audience
from the moment you flashed that first coy glance at them. I made myself
stop watching and look around at the audience during each of your
performances... not one person was drinking or smoking or talking or
squirming in their seat. All eyes were locked on you and that piano that
you somehow turned into a full orchestra. Warm and witty, wry humor and
intelligent lyrics... the cute, sexy girl-next-door with a kick-ass voice
and a magic piano - what more could anyone want? Jeez gal, you've got it
all going on! Don't work too hard - rest once in a while!! Talk to you
soon! --Judy @ Oasiscd.com
myspace is extraordinary...i probably would not have heard you up to
this point without it...
am glad i did. only been on for about a week...still, you are the first
artist i have heard that has something extra...out of all the listening i
have done....the "it" factor.
played piano for a long time now....and appreciate your talent...your
passion, and soul. thanks...ciao
A special thanks to the gals for coming all the way from Portland, Fran
Gray, and Sacramento Roberta Chevrette two locals Natalia, and Debra ,
that's me, for making our Females On Fire event at Spellbinding Tales a
joy for all! Have gotten great feedback on the concept and songs on the CD
so far! Thanks to all!!! Debra Knox
Just wanted to again say that you are a powerful lady with a powerful
calling! (And what a gift, of course!) Everyone did beautifully. What a
blessing to be amongst so many beautiful diamonds of artists with such
different gifts in music to offer! Congratulations! Keep the
faith....Michael-Ann
I wanted to write you and sincerely thank you for having me involved
with Females on Fire II. You are a fabulous talent Gilli and it's a
Warrior Girl testament that you also create opportunities for other
artists and share your courage. You are a wonderful ambassador for
Australia. Way to go girl!!! I stand proudly beside you. Take good care of
you and I'll see you down the musical track I'm sure. Again, thank you!
JACINTA Brondgeest www.chunkymusic.com
It was great to see you in LA - the launch event was wonderful. Thanks
for all you did to put this together! Jacinta and I had a great trip to LA
- extremely productive and a lot of fun. Jacinta had a great performance
on Sunday night at Here Lounge to a packed house. A wonderful vibe in West
Hollywood - we're looking forward to returning to the west coast! Hope we
can work with you again on another project, and best of luck with FOF2!
regards, Paula
Hi, Gilli. My name is April. We have never met, but I wanted to take a
moment to tell you how much your words on Freedom meant to me today.
Really. The timing is certainly one of those magical moments. Thank you.
Hey Superstar,so excited about all these wonderful happenings you're
creating for yourself, for all of us and of course the inspiration for us
to do it for ourselves! Just adore you and your spirit!
I listened to your new song "be" at myspace. its beautiful. Read your
book, loved it. Your art just generally kicks ass. jordan page

i loved it story telling .... . i like alot of artist love music in
general ..........from the 60 's to soft , hard rock meatl ect , i hope
you have a good one hun much love
Thank you to you for writing such a wonderful and inspiring book, "I am
a Professional Artist." It is because of your book that I was able to put
my fears and doubts aside, finish my CD myself, and take the show on the
road. I found it to be very well written and chock full of useful
information that I could start applying immediately. All the best, Setra
I had the good fortune of crossing paths with Gilli at the harmony
festival last weekend. I gotta say.......Evolution just leaps off that
sampler and smacks ya upside the head. My wife ( a musician/writer in a
femme trio) and I are listening as I write this. Good,good stuff. Larry
otis
It was so great to meet you last weekend. Thank you for all the love
and support you give to all of us! You made a lasting difference in my
life. Looking forward to seeing you perform live again! -Lisa Lazo
My name is Eddie Felker. We met at the NEMO conference in Boston this
fall. I picked up your book and I really love it. I'm gearing up to do a
real CD, and "I am a professional artist" has really inspired me to look
at things differently and with real hope. I didn't get to start reading it
until just recently, and I am not quite finished yet, but already I am
recommending it to fellow artists.
Also, I'm hearing your music for the first time right now in my office
while hanging out on Myspace. Great Stuff! Im easing into my Monday with
ya!
Thanks again for your book, it's really a great resource for artists. I
hope many more people discover it.
Geralyn Beaulaurier here, one of yr. Songsalive folk, writing to say
Hello & Great to see you perform at the Talking Stick last night! Sounding
Great! I've been thinking of you actually for several reasons.
I want to Thank You for yr. Wonderful "I AM a Professional Artist"
book, which I've been reading lately & is Full of Great Inspirational
Stuff!
10 Kudos to represent all the Great and Extraordinary things you
continue to do for the world and the generations to come! I look forward
to what new discoveries of truth, creativity, inspiration, encouragement,
wisdom that your book will plant in myself and others lives. You are truly
one in a billion for this generation and already deserve to be considered
a true visionary mastermind for all that you have contributed to making
the world and other's lives better, beautiful and brighter with your
books, music, paintings...etc.You are like a modern day Trinity(the
Matrix) that I can say I have had the pleasure of knowing and seeing
perform Impossible feats that the Industry and World said could not be
done! Thank you for freeing our minds to be able to define success and
learn the do's and dont's of being a Professional Artist! You are blessed
to have mentored the masses and to have such a great team on your side to
include Toni who is a mother to all those who need love, encouragement and
let's not forget hugs!!! Because of your presence in my life and others I
am now encouraged to raise the bar in my life and really make my life and
days count with Purpose and Passion!!! Hope to come see you perform again
sometime in 2006!
Hi, we meet in Sydney recently at the Songsalive workshop, I bought
your book. Just wanted to say I loved it, it was very timely for me and
confirmed my existing attitude toward my career, but more importantly made
me really focus on new and fresh ways. You really spoke directly to me and
congratulations on living your dreams. I am a Country music
singer/songwriter and so often I hear about the 'traditional' way for
Australian country artists, it frustrates me and I feel its so limiting in
terms of communicating to a much wider audience. Your book made me really
consider a non-traditional and much more creative way to reach an audience
and create my career. It has given me clarity about who I am as a
professional artist. So thanks, I feel for the first time, I could
actually really do this. I wondered if you have every considered mentoring
artists? (Yes I do Amanda... www.warriorgirlmusic.com/coaching) This may
be really out there for you, ... Thanks again for your wonderful work and
book. It is so inspirational to have people like you on the planet. Thank
you and looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Amanda Johnson.
I met you during your panel presentation at the Rockrgrl Conference in
Seattle in November. I thoroughly enjoyed your contribution then and
continue to appreciate all that you do for independent artists through the
Songsalive! Organization.
I meant to write you after I first read this email from you but then
got all caught up in working on the final phases of my CD and forgot about
doing so... I was cleaning out my email folders and saw it again today and
re-read again... what an inspiring read! Thank you for taking the time to
share and remind us why we really are doing this! You've inspired me... I
am now going to go and join Songsalive!
I love reading your thoughts. I am just starting as a songwriter and
have all the fears and dreams you write about. Thanks for the inspiration.
John In Florida
Gilli -- I heard you speak about DIY at the TAXI road rally -- you were
awesome! I'd already decided before attending that I'd make my next
project an indie -- but I was totally psyched after hearing you speak. I
have to confess I was also so happy to see a woman on the panel -- there
was way too much testosterone up there!
I loved most what you said about networking. You said we should ask
ourselves "how can I help this person?" I really resonated with that
comment. My mom always used to say to me that the music biz will "eat me
alive" because I'm too "nice." I disagree. I think the world (including
the music biz) responds and reflects back the love we send out. Thanks for
your shining example of that!
I just wanted to write you and let you know that I have now listened to
your album Extraordinary Life all the way through and it is beautiful,
intense, and just what I needed to hear. I think you should do a live
album, your live show is extraordinary all by itself.
I just wanted to say I got your cd and I am listening to it these days.
I find it really great, I would say "extra-ordinary":))) I really
appreciated your arrangements choices, the use of particular sounds
together with acoustic instruments, really original indeed. But most of
all I have been really touched by your sincerity and spontaneity in your
singing and writing, these are virtues that these days are hard to find in
an artist. My favorite songs are Hollywood and Undone, and naturally the
Italian version of Bye, really nice indeed! Congratulations also to your
musicians, who gave a great contribution to the whole sound of the album.
This is just what I need to say about your music. Thanks for the listen
and the emotions. Alex
It totally brings me into the space, the place in New York City. The
life, the love and the insight of one who knows what it is like to live in
a constantly revolving, evolving city that is unforgiving, yet fascinating
to see as a spectator and/or as a once removed participant of a place that
mysteriously co-exists with sanity and insanity, the rich and poor and
indifferent. Are people aware, or do they just ignore what is going on
around them? Don't let on what you truly feel. Do we entertain to inform
or to persuade "them", whom ever will listen, how to awaken to what is
real and right? Then if the latter then let us take a moment and pray to
whatever god, diety, or spiritual place for the people of the south who
lost it all and the souls of the ones watching over their neighbors and
friends from the other side chillin' in the New Orleans we once knew. P.S.
Gilli, you are a great talent. Your performance in the seminar you held at
the I.M.C. was phenomenal. I can't wait to see you live again!
In responce to Gilli's spoken word piece www.gillimoon.com/poetry about
NYC- Hi! I caught the show at The Mint on Saturday night and it was an
incredible musical experience. I picked up the Females On Fire CD (also
bought one for a friend--she will love it) and it is spectacular! The only
difficulty is learning the lyrics so I can sing along! I'm slightly
hearing impaired and sometimes it's very difficult for me to hear some of
the words. Will you be posting the lyrics on the web anytime soon?Thanks
again for the incredible show and introducing me to some amazing artists.
I'm moving out of the LA area this week and am pretty bummed to not be up
on the independent artist scene. But once I find a new job, one of the
first things I will do is buy some of their CDs! I need more of their
music!Cheers,Melanie
You are SUCH the WARRiOR GiRL... so passionate and energetic and.. oh
yeah- TALENTED! "I'm a riot in my own living room..." I'm really getting
into ALL the cool places you have to visit on your site. Hopefully I am
one of many many many... Peace! Joanna DeVoe http://iluvkoshi.com
Gilli - I think your new CD is extraordinary. You are a wonderful
vocalist and songwriter! Barbara Jordan - Music Supervisor
I really enjoyed your album - sexy, sultry intimate and somewhere
between a younger hipper Olivia and Portishead. ~ Cat Cohen, UCLA
Wanted to tell you that Extraordinary life is a great album.
Especially, Evolution, Bye is such a lonely word, Spaceship,
Deconstruction and the Italian version of Bye. Great production and
arrangements. Thanks for giving me a cd.
I finally had a chance to listen to your CD this morning. It was
interesting because I was in a not so good mood and had been trying to
contact one of my good friends to talk to him about some of things I am
going through. Well after several tries I realized I wasn't going to be
able to contact him so I started my daily routine. I had a few errands to
run so I decided to put your CD on while I prepared to leave. From the
very first song your album spoke to my heart. It was like a story book had
been opened and it contained bits and pieces of my life. Some of the songs
spoke directly to my circumstances while others helped to put things into
perspective. I am absolutely floored by your talent. I feel your giving of
self in the music. I was extremely moved. Your album is wonderful. Know
that it also served as a lift to a friend in need. The timing was perfect.
Continue to bless the world with you beautiful songs. I put your CD in the
CD changer in my car, so I will be riding with Gilli Moon. Spread Love

yet. Very creative and engaging. Great job!" - Jeff
"you voice sounds great. love the mix. don't know what it is but
american recordings just have a better all round sound and great mixes.
your vocal is right up in the mix yet all the instruments are heard.this
is what I call great production." Roxanne (Aus)
I like the song "Hollywood" very much, it oozes class, nice melodic
harmonies and great composition and arrangement. anymore!! Keep up the
good work!!! - regards Paul (uk)
"I love Enchanted Forest opening... a little bit tribal, sets a mood,
then the so honest lyrics." - Catie
"Gilli, Undone is awesome. Absolutely my favorite." - Cristin
"I think the song "Undone" is that I heard here. What a gorgeous piece
of music with a great rockin' chorus hook. Doesn't get any better than
that... :-)" - Lynn
re Little Boy Lost: "This is top quality indie music. A funky, swaying
beat, a bright and clear voice, an empathetic message and some tasty tenor
sax licks add icing to the cake. Much kudos to you, Gilli!" - Jason

Jack
"Evolution is my favorite!" - Chris
Hi my name is MIKE, I really enjoyed going thru your inspiring website.
I am very much in line with your thinking, it is nice to know that there
other people who want to make a difference in this world, and who have
such a handle on their lives....I am so blessed to have read about you and
all are ambitions, and I honestly really thought about the concept and the
importance of "letting go," and allowing GOD, or the universe to take
control of our lives, and lead us to glory. I know in my heart that I must
still learn to let this process happen, and for me, it is about allowing
myself to enjoy NOW and to not get so hyper focused about the future. I
know I must slow down and end have a good time here, and I know Music is
that driving force to where I want to go...I believe in my heart, that
what you are doing is a true labor of love, but above all you are a true
example of someone who understands the importance of believing in the
higher purpose and I can't tell you how thankful I am to have come across
such a wonderful person...Keep living your life, filled with divine
light...I can't wait to find out more about you and all that you
accomplish here ....Mike
I love reading your thoughts. I am just starting as a songwriter and
have all the fears and dreams you write about. Thanks for the inspiration.
John In Florida
You are an inspiration to me. I love you in the artistic sense of the
word. I always thought it was much better to create your own works of
artistic vision, self promote and sell, as you go about sharing your
love of art with the true patrons of the art world. You go Warrior Girl.
Keep fighting the good fight! Art for Arts Sake! Fear No Art! Sincerely
Jeffrey Alan Rochlin
GIRL YOU ROCK!!!! I haven't heard music this fresh and true in a long
time. I will be the first to admit I'm no expert on music, but your work
is unbelievable. I can't wait to buy the new album. - Susan
gilli, i had the joy of seeing you perform last fall @ moonshadows (I
was up a few sets after you) and wanted to tell you how inspiring you are,
and truly amazing to watch live. Best of luck in your career. You've got a
fan for life in me, and I hope you'll add me as a friend. Best to you,
Jenna Wilson
Saw you at artist salon. Your performance knocked me out. I am on your
e-mail list. I am a poet, lyricist, motivational speaker. Love your
spirit. Your ability to stay independent and not compromise your creative
integrity is so cool in a business where you can so easily become a
commodity rather than an artist. Jeffrey
I wanted to say thank you for a great performance ... I always enjoy
your performances; you bring something different into the room each time.
I especially loved when you encouraged everyone to dance and just let
loose. I could feel the energy bursting through my whole body.
WOW. I witnessed, in the course of a only a few songs, an entrancing
trip through your personality, and world as you view it. I was sucked in,
and slapped around, and left only wanting more. I am very picky about what
I like live, and you captured all that I worked to accomplish in a live
show. To describe it best "You grab people be the throat and shake, but
then give them a gentle kiss and pat on the head, and send them on their
way" left with a total feeling of toe tapping fulfillment, and friendly
scars of good times had. I hope to see more. I am such a sucker for
layered sounds that actually take you somewhere. Good stuff!
Aside from being beautiful on the inside and out, she is one of the top
(currently unsigned) performing artists in the country. Gilli gives 110 %
to her music. She is a soulful, deeply poetic, driven, diva, dance vibe,
multi dimensional experience. In essence... She totally rocks - Patti
www.smartwomen.org
"The more I listen, the more I want. Gilli Moon is like a drug perhaps
heroin or similar type. Every now and then one comes across an artist on
this site that just blows you away and I must admit I've been blown away
by her voice, talent and her style. All I have to say is APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!"Markku
"Gilli you are a breath of fresh air to all that desire to achieve
being an independent artist. Again i am overwhelmed by your
accomplishments. You rightly deserve the name Warrior-Queen because you
have fought a persistent fight for others. thankyou"- Brent, Philadelphia
Your words are fundamental, spare and powerful. ... your thoughts roll
like fresh apricots into my spam-cram mailbox, and reach into my soul. I'm
tired, you warm and refreshing. I'm wrung from giving all, you bring
me all that I am. Thank you for being simply gilli moon, and for taking
time to send the love. Thank you for being exactly that, in this moment. I
could kiss you head to toe, if you won't mind tears of gratefulness! ciao.
Thanks for continuing to inspire. If every artist listened to and
responded to those that were "looking out for the best interests" the
state of the arts would be in worse shape than it is presently in. With
all of the vanilla musicians and non descript painters. Dianna sent Trance
and I the songs for The Goddess Within...
I am just listening to your song right now, WOW!! I LOVE IT!!
I (actually, my band) really enjoyed her performance last night at
Monsoon Cafe. I was especially impressed with Gilli's vocal range and
strength, which isn't as apparent when you listen to the recorded version
of the same tracks, though they are still good. Live performances are
always so much better!!! And of course, who can beat getting to play that
beautiful grand piano with it's resonating tones. Amanda and band :)
I've been listening to the "Songsalive!" compilation cd you put out and
I have to say that your song ROCKS! Really...It's my favourite one on that
disk (Woman). The production was great. Lyrically, I can relate to always
being a giver and finally now just taking time for myself and my needs. I
also enjoyed the emotion you put forth in your performance and the vocal
dynamics displayed. Nice backgrounds too!!! Yeah...hearing your tune made
sense for me why your comments were so beneficial. So I just wanted to
give you props for your song. You got skillz you sexy "Woman!" Please keep
me in the know for any and all of your artistic endeavours. It was a
pleasure making your acquaintance. Jamie
Your energy is delicious. The music a living force with your direction
and focus, it is an unbeatable combination. Beautiful and funky. Thanks
for your wonderful songs and creative spirit. Good Luck always to you.

Saw you at the Greedy Bastards show last night. Awesome show - wished
you'd got a little more time on stage. {I'd probably agree with this guy
to get you more time on stage but i'm always wanting more of gilli moon on
stage! tk nosing in while sending you email addresses 8-) } Come
back to Toronto soon! Steve
I was stoked to see that you will be touring with the "Greedy Bastard
Tour" One of your stops is in Kalamazoo, MI at the State Theatre. I'm
really looking forward to meeting you, being that I work there. The ironic
thing is that I was looking for some type of internship with Warrior Girl
and hope to talk with you. Anyways, rock on....you have some great stuff
to offer. Take care..hope to see you in November! michelle
Was looking at Eric's diary, and had no idea how many times you guys
were through Toronto. If I'd known that I could have shown you the town!
(when my buds from the Alan Parsons band are here, I usually only get less
than a day to go out on the town). Anyways, I hope you all had fun and got
to do something besides rehearse, play and do interviews.

WOW! I finally found you on the internet...it's as if you've escaped
from a toy store! You're amazing! Hypnotic! I saw you at Sin-e in New York
for the amazing Jeff Buckley Legacy Tribute. You stole my heart and soul!
I became an admirer from the moment you pierced that crisp pure voice of
goodness into the crowd. You are a true entertainer. I made the journey to
New York for the Sin-e show on a budget of only a one way ticket to NYC
and a cab fair from the airport to the show. I'm from Oklahoma and I'm
losing my best friend, my grandfather who is 94 and blind.... and leaving
this 'tour' of life soon. Without silly details of my personal life.... my
spiritual life has been completely re- directed yet again. What a
beautifully pure and organic experience. I had a dose of purity that night
at Sin-e. The kind of purity that transends you to another reality... a
new reality. It has been the food for my soul here with my grandfather.
It's amazing. The music you create is unique, and full of warm fuzzies and
sunshine kisses, all the good stuff that life is all about... Everyday
(since the show), my life has stored that blissful explosion of goodness
within me and I now share that with my Grandfather... it has enriched my
life and now I feed that to him. I appreciate the honor of hearing you and
the other talents that were there. It has helped me feed my soul a little
more to get through this tough time. Life is so beautiful! Thank you! You
are one of the many splendid and beautiful things that keeps this world a
beautiful place. I honor your spirit. What a beautiful blessing we all
have by having you around. I hope to see you again. You are a powerful
presence. You're gift goes beyond even what you or I see. You have a
faerie like quality that tickles the soul. What a groovy thing to see and
be a part of. Thank you for sharing your beauty and sprinkling sunshine
and pixie dust over us. You're a legend! All the blessings to you from
this world and beyond.
my kindest regards and wishes, april
Was looking around the internet for doamins for my own website and
tried my nickname in various versions and found your pages. Have been
browsing them for a while now - like what I saw - next it is the music,
and I love music - Australia mmmmm. I guess I could go on forever about
that - brilliant keep up the good work - take care best wishes from
Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland
I just heard your music and website and think you are absolutely
inspirational and amazing! Thank you for all your incredible work. I'm an
artist living in LA and wonder if you ever collaborate. I would love to
write with you. Please check out the site above and I really hope to hear
back from you! - melisa
Hey Gilli, Just wanted to congratulate you on yet another
accomplishment(the mp3 site stats). As always your biggest NY fan waiting
with baited breath...something fishy about that... for your NY appearance.
Fondly, Your Bud Vin
MORO! = hello! Greetings from Finland.. Nice music.. I´m lisning your
music first time right now and I like it :D it sounds perfect:)You have
beatiful voice :) I don´t have nothing better to say... so see u
HELLO gilli *big nose nuzzle* *lots of happy tail wagging* I'm looking
forward to your next visit to Australia. I often think of what you said to
me - "you win fans one at a time". I'm always astounded at the energy you
have for the projects you take on. *nose nuzzle* from Streamer the gilli-moon-fan

Hi Gilli, great to see a local artist making such a big mark on the
other side of the world. I present a local music program on 2CCC (Central
Coast Community), and next time your back home, I would love to have you
in the studio for a chat and some acoustics. All the best, Kevin
"i attended the nashville music conference where you sat in as a
panelist for the cd review. i noticed in the j. buckley newsletter that
your name was mentioned as an artist who was around or perhaps shared the
stage with jeff in his sin-e days. is it possible you could write back and
tell me a little bit more about that experience. i like many others am a
huge fan of his and being i missed his shows when he was here, i kinda of
have to experince them through those who have had the pleasure of se "
Yes, Atlanta is the Oz of the South. Met you at Eddie's
Attic...happenstance, if there is such a thing. Enjoyed recognizing your
passion in vocation; evidence in the distinction between that and
profession, as the same of work is to play....elementary fun.
I clicked on you site from Carey Slades web site. I am blown away, I
love your sound. I am a musician/songwriter and am totally humbled when I
hear a talent like yours. I have written about 40 songs, but no band to
play them and it gets frustrating. I love Carey, she is extremely talented
and yet does not get the kind of recognition she deserves. I keep her CD
in my auto for road trips. The talent that is below the hype of modern
industry machinery music is awesome. Good home grown music has the
integrity that belongs to the heart. I would love to travel the world and
just listen to local talent and get to know the world through their
musical eyes. To bad!!! Anyway I love what I hear. I have a song called
Bullshit Love that I would love to hear you sing, but then you probably
get lots of people peddling their music on you. If you are so inclined
give me an address and I will send you a copy of this song. I just love
your sound. I have songs at www.mp3.com/craig_leonard. The only problem is
they are poorly recorded and my vocals don't sound good. A poor rendition
of those songs and recorded direct to my living room recorder. Anyway
thanks for you talent. I will order your CD when I get a few extra pennies
in my account. Thanks craig leonard,
I was at Hallenbecks tonight and I spoke with you briefly. I just
wanted to say how honored I feel to have been in the audience. Music is so
important to my life. I have to make time for things like tonight. I have
been to Lauren's shows/gigs before and enjoy her music very much. Tonight
was different because I had the sense that I was sent there, a series of
Synchronicitys made me follow through with going. I read the first chapter
of your book Gilli, the messages in it are something I need right now..I
began writing a book nearly 3 years ago and it's going very, very
well..It's a very exciting project but I have to constantly do the
balancing thing in which you speak about in your book. I find your words
so very helpful to me right now. I am someone who knows the entertainment
business very well, been in it over 20 years, but to shift to the creative
part and back to business is a task at times..I got my message loud and
clear from you all tonight.
Your words of encouragement, your music, and your book are a wonderful
gift to my life right now and my own creative process....I appreciate you
& I thank you. My book is a biography of a singer's life, it's tedious
work...but I love it. This project has been magical for many, many people,
it's got a love force on it that can not be denied. Thank you for being at
the other end of where I was sent.... Vickie Wright
What a wonderful zap to the central nervous system you were tonight.
Thank you! - G-Man

We REALLY enjoyed the Living Room on Sunday..what a great
concept..thanks for including us! And for having Katie play too.
Gilli..you were awesome! It was fun to see you perform more than two
songs..you move so beautifully and each piece is an entirely different
artistic offering, can't wait for the next show I'll be able to see.. Toni
your "cool" made everyone feel good and happy in a situation where other
people would have gone "agro" as they say here in Cali..yes..better too
few than too many chairs..definitely a good sign.. Peace & keep well,
Bridget
just wanted to thank you for the amazing show you did last nite with
your band. Your wonderful spirit, astounding vocal range and expression,
and sense of fun really carried well. Unfortunately, the lyrics didn't -
at least where I was sitting- and I really wanted to hear them better. Is
that the HArd Rock or just where I was sitting? Great band too -
especially the guitar player. Nice stuff. (Including the keys - wish
they'd been louder!) Anyway, it was a treat right from the acoustic acts
all the way thru your set, where the aptly named hard rock chairs finally
got my butt tired! Rynata is a real kick and most of the first artists on
were terrific - especially, of course, Lisa Johnson, always good. (One of
the few Gilli-class vocalists there.) Scott
6-1-03 Just wanted to let you know that I saw you at CC this past
Wednesday. I was the one who wrote I was a songwriter with asterisks and
stuff and said only "genius" in the comments on your performance. I
especially loved "jazz!" she commanded and you shifted gears swiftly and
smoothly. Was very much a musician's joke that everyone got a kick out of.
I have posted my link for inclusion in your link swap at
www.songsalive.org to www.garykonigsberg.com I also am a member of
www.artistsforabetterworld.org and spoke with George Alger and with
Barbara Oliver last nite. I told them I would like to be a liaison between
the two groups and would like to discuss with you or with whoever is in
charge of your marketing or such how that would be of best benefit to your
organization.

5-8-03 - Danielle Egnew here from Pope Jane. Once again, fabulous show
Thursday, and wonderful record! I do very much like your new "Shania
Twain" song... my being from Montana and all. Being a producer myself, I
could have gone on and on about the "ear candy" on your record...
4-20-03 Hello Gilli- It was terrific seeing you at the booth, on the
panel, and on stage at the Call to Arts Expo. And what a wonderful treat
to get to hear you perform a few of your lovely songs. There are people
with writing craft; there are people with lightning inside; there are
people who touch every listener. You have all this and more. Thanks! Hugs,
Scott The G-Man http://gmanmusic.com http://delvianrecords.com
Hey Gilli, you blew the house away at the Call to Arts Expo..whoa! What
a voice! And that exquisite thundering keyboard work! You are an awesome
talent and I can't wait to hear more of your music..it should be all over
the radio! Keep going strong......
Heard you at WhisperZ two weeks ago. Outstanding performance. I enjoyed
your break from convention while still maintaining an entertaining
performance without being pretentious or arty. (Plan to purchase your book
soon enough). Koala Oi(?) Erik Sheppard
The site looks great. The record is Great and I am very glad I got to
play drums on it. good luck and keep it up, brian (drummer on "Woman")
Hi Gilli! Was checking out IMC2003 site and came across yours. I'm
watching your video and checking out your website. Very interesting stuff
Gilli! Well, I just wanted to say hello and good luck with everything you
do. Take care Gilli! - Jon
Thank you so much had a blast jamming with you at Bar Nun in Phoenix Az,
Let me know when you are coming back into town would love to come see you
again. Keep Rocking Warrior Girl!!!! Peace love & light Carey Slade
wow, you are an expressive soul! I love that. I love the freshness, and
unique, fearless energy that you put into all that you do.
yes, indeed, I have observed your paintings and find your art, as well
as all your expressions of creativity quite inspiring.... makes me feel
like doing stuff myself... Of yours I particularly loved:
ocean, spirit, woman dark, see the humor, and that bizzare little flash
piece: whats a nice girl like you.... couldn’t help but think to myself,
she's already ascended (or resurrected, as the case may be). Interesting,
I often think that is a major theme of this game we call life in a way...
throwing off the chains that bind, and rediscovering the truth that we’ve
forgotten (or have been programmed to forget by the culture). So many
people live their lives just lock-step in march with what they are told to
do, or conditioned to do.. numb and blind to who they really are, living
in a consensus illusion. I love free-thinking, self empowered people.
Much of your work, and I notice... in the way you perform your music,
seems to be all about setting yourself free. Believe me when I say, I can
relate.
best of luck to you out there on the road. I’m sure you must be
collecting some great experiences. Enjoy!Jack
3-12-03 KIA ORA Gilli, My name is Messepa Edwards, I am a memeber of a
Pacific womens trio called Manuhiri, originally all 3 of us are from New
Zealand and of Maori decent, currently living in the Northern NSW Byron
Bay region. We have been singing together now for the last 5yrs and our
music is a mixed fusion of Contemporary, Funk, Blues, Jazz with the
natrual blends of our traditional and cultural sounds of the Pacific. A
very good brother of mine Lake Crowley told me all about your website and
told me to check it out. I am so glad that I did because it truly
supported and encouraged me to continue working on my own projects. This
yr Manuhiri is doing its world tour launching off a project that gave
birth some time last yr while we were over in the UK for the commonwealth
games in Manchester. Thank you for being such an inspiration, I love the
website of warriorgirl. Looking forward to keeping in contact Arohanui,
Messepa Edwards, Manuhiri
3-9-03 Thanks so much for sending me your links and adding me to your
connect list. I can’t tell you what a pleasant surprize it was to come
into that little coffee house last night (the Muse) and be treated to such
inspired, passionate, creative and (most of all) authentic music! With so
much formula-based gimmick-motivated music permeating the airwaves, I
stopped listening to anything new a long time ago. Artists such as
yourself are a bright ray of hope in an otherwise desolate landscape of
consumer-based banality. Although I only heard two or three songs, I heard
enough to get a ‘feel’ for who you are and where you are coming from.
Very impressive. You are a true artist. One who expresses with boldness,
courage and passion. I so admire that. And I know one, because I am one.
Good luck in your travels. I applaud you living your life from your heart.
I’ll look you up when you are back in this homogenized valley. Till then,
knock ‘em dead! Jack. Ps ---I have lots of art on my website:

Thank you so much for this email. This couldn't have come at a better
time in my creative growth. I'm experiencing some serious writer's block

invigorating. Norm
emails from the Cindy Alter benefit concert aug 31:
It was an awesome event. You did a great job putting it together and
keeping it running. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. I'm glad to
hear a lot of money was raised, that was the point after all. Maybe we can
all gather together and do it again to celebrate when Cindy is well. -
Charlie White
Thanks for putting on such a great event. I was thinking about my Dad a
lot, who died of cancer and how hard it was, and wouldn’t wish that on
anyone. So suffice to say I was very moved. Completely forgot how to play
and sing...
Anyway, you did a really good thing and was proud to be associated. -
Libby Lavella
I’ve never played so bad and felt so good about a performance! Tee Hee!
Gilli – you really are an inspiration. Thanks for bringing this together.
Cindy is just the greatest and so are you. And all the performers were
wonderful. Looking forward to the Songsalive Expo! Camille
Hi Gilli...thank you for putting together such a magical night of music
for a wonderful purpose! ..I look forward to the near Fiery event! You're
amazing Gilli!!! Denise www.denisevasquez.com
On behalf of Delilah, Kristin and myself, I'd like to express our

the work you are doing! Sincerely, Stacy Golden

feedback on "Woman" the album
8-28-02 Hey G! Finally got to listen to "Woman". The only problem with
it is I CAN'T STOP LISTENING! It's really good! I really like the way you
took "Need You Tonite" from the dance floor to the bedroom. Dripping with
sex. You can smellit. Ouch. Yup. This could break you outta the indie
world. Almost every cut is radio friendly, & the collection stands as a
complete work. I'm guessing that's why you chose to have so little time
between songs. I am humbled & honored to be in your presence, oh Indie
Queen... - Jimi Yamagishi (read his review for Creative Line)
Hi Gillian, Saw your Woman video and loved it congratulations!!! Lots
of stuff going on in your life, I see, I am happy for you. Love, Sandy
your "woman" is in my hands... caressing my ears... melting and
scattering me across the horizon. ii hope you will understand and not be
offended if ii remain speechless. words are very unnecessary. you and ii
don't need to be "propped up" in that manner anymore. through my silence,
ii reveal to you... everything. with all love, tenderness, humility and
respect
I just downloaded your new album... I like it .. It's a departure from
the poppier Temperamental Angel it's more introspective It's good I like
Real, Damaged or Broken and the seducer...
You are one of the most complete people upon first impression that I
have ever met. I hope the tour continues to go well for you/went well for
you. Joel Edelman Editor Gartner
Gilli, I promised myself that i would sit right down when I got home
and tell you how incredible you were tonite, but frankly the words escape
me. It is so rare in songwriter circles to find anyone really strong in
every way as a performer, but you certainly fill that and more. As a
singer, performer, writer, the way you check in with the audience yet
still maintain that deep connection with your inner process, your great
sense of play, is nothing short of inspiring. But I still gotta see ya
paint and sing at the same time. You sure blew all in the room away with
your beautiful material and performance, perfectly suited to letting
yourself out to play, okay I'll stop gushing now. ta. SCOTT

8-1-02 - had some interesting hate fan mail in last month. one
particular got my goat. an anonymous hate mail ('Walkin' on the Moon').
well, it had to come some time. read it and everyone's wonderful responses
about it here...
August 12 - (in response to 'Walkin' on the Moon') I read your diary,
in which you most recently commented on a piece of hate mail. I was
inspired to write you in response. I am a Boston-Based singer/songwriter
who has been in the business awhile. Allow me to expose another
perspective: We seem to have a lot in common. Your involvement in every
aspect of your career is essential to success and you are brave in
undertaking all that you have. . . moving full speed ahead, yet not
forgetting to look back at where you were and help those that began where
you did. Your involvement in Songsalive!, your initiative in starting your
own label, the attention you pay to your fan base, among other things,
makes you special and demonstrates your unrelenting persistence and
passion. To be a songwriter is to be vulnerable, for our music comes from
the depths within. There will be those who take cheap shots, and the most
mature way to deal with that is, as you did, remember to be humble. From
someone who has done his homework and knows a little about the business, I
can see that you wear many hats and wear them well. Hats off to you. You
are a strong Woman Gilli (a Temperamental one perhaps, but certainly an
Angel! :-)), and for that you should be proud as I'm sure you inspire
other women to be what they can be. . .and to know that to be vulnerable
is also to be strong. Very Truly Yours, Christopher Marston Fellow
Singer/Songwriter
Dear Gilli - overly-concerned with outward appearances.

hi Gilli, just went through your newsletter. although it's pretty
long, I find that you are doing great work to get indie music on the map.
and I also have respect for how you promote your work, even with a book.
you get the buzz going, girl! I was wondering. will you stay indie, or
will you join a major once they knock on your door?

sure to come and listen. Thanks Y-O-U
I was dragged out of my home by friends Sunday night, not willing or
wanting to go anywhere after a long work day. After some prodding, I caved
in. I didn't know where my friends where taking me. I have been grateful
for them and there insistence of my presence ever since last night. We
caught the Parrot Bay show and I too, became enchanted by the artist. Gilli
is genuine and talented. The lyrics, the music, and the attitude make an
impact to the degree I would call myself a fan only after one s
You enchanted me in Eugene, on the 26th. I think everyone
was enchanted that night:). Loved the book, quite inspiring...not sure I
am as ambitious! Good luck.

the Hard Rock in Phoenix earlier this year...you have amazing talent and
great chops (voice). -Timothy
mar 26 02 - Well, folks, let me tell ya... Eileen C. and I went last
night to this mexican restaurant waaayyy out in Woodland Hills where Gilli
Moon decided to have her birthday paaaaty... at first we were wondering
why on earth she would have it so far away (well, for us anyway...) but
once we got there, we knew why hahaha... It's a great eating place with a
room in the back that is set up for a cozy intimate live music experience
and yes, mam, we were all treated to an exquisite performance by one of
L.A.'s finest female vocalists. And that HAS to be GILLI MOON..... Backed
up by her guitarist Gordie Germaine, she played on every string of our
emotions. From sulty to rocking, from swaying to swinging... Gilli does it
all. I feel like writing a review for Rolling Stone Mag hahaha... but let
it suffice to say that she is truly a gifted artist. Check her out next
chance you get. Happy B'day Gilli. Shredmistress Rynata http://www.shredmistress.com

4th mar 02 - I am the technician you spoke with earlier today about the
slowdown / stop in email. I am so happy that I was the one who got that
call. I'll be even happier when I can clear a credit card enough to get
that album! After browsing around on the site I was so impressed and
really just had to pass that appreciation along! I am an artist and writer
who believes in living to create things rather than creating things for a
living. You seem to embrace that idea as well and your music clip was
great! I need inspired music by inspired people in my life because it
drives me on and you seem to have that. I hope I can purchase the your
album and hear more soon. Warmest Regards! L Wisocki PS: I can't even
begin to have words for the art yet...still looking in awe. You are truly
blessed by a thousand muses!
feb 26, 02 - I am really impressed by your site and everything you have
done ! Congratulations - Not that we really need it.......Basically we
give out to the world and everything we need is rewarded! Thank you for
the opportunity to program for you and I can honestly say that you have
been a divine inspiration - for it is not only what we think and do that
matters but also what we sing and say! - Carol Rhode
I left my house last upset with my boyfriend and ended up at Rusty's.
You summed up all my emotions last night and have inspired me to pick up
my guitar again. Great show. - Lisa Marie Ackel
gilli moon is igniting fires here in Phoenix, the valley of the sun. it

the fire burn higher. - Toni

28 jan 20 - Just about to go to air and will (with pleasure) be playing
a few tunes (2) from your new album. www.radio.adelaide.edu.au is where
you can find the real audio link - show is called EMANATION Thanks for the
great - Oz inspired music. ;O) - John Murch
28 jan 02 robin and i just want to thank you for coming to play in our
home attitude about the attendance problem. you were like, "well, let's
just play for ourselves." after you left, we played the two-disc
compilation. it was interesting, because live you reminded me a little of
tori amos (at least for two songs) and fiona apple ("the seducer"), but on
the compilation, as soon as track three came on, you reminded us all of
kate bush. everyone who heard you last night came away very impressed. i
certainly look forward with pleasure to seeing you again, tomorrow night
and then again in february at rusty's surf ranch. robert and robin
12th jan 02 - Gilli, Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say you
did a great job. Your experience and enjoyment show , which makes it
pleasurable for everyone. I’m still partial to the classics “Too Much”
“So Far Away” etc. .....but I really liked the 1st 2 new songs you opened
up with and I enjoyed “Naked”..... I encourage you to do more Gilli and
the piano songs with maybe some light production if the spirit moves you.
My personal opinion is that’s where you shine brightest. As we discussed
there is many sides to all of us and you should explore all of them but up
close and personal works well on your recordings as well....Just my humble
opinion. Safe trip back home.....I don’t think I’ll be able to make the
art exhibit.... Congrats and have a great time - jaen ;)
7th jan 02 Hi Gilli, I just wanted to let you know how much I love your
CD! Wow, I am impressed! I have listened to the song 'Alive' at least 20
times today! I can't get over how incredible that song is. Your material
has such depth and soul; I
really think you could write for film. As Cindy said last night about
one of your songs, it sounded like it could be in a musical. I feel your
songs do have that type of vibe. I am also pretty blown away by your
singing! What I would give for a voice like that! And this is not just
talk; I give sincere credit where it's due. I hear a lot of local artists
here and have purchased many CDs. There are so many gifted
musicians/songwriters, but your CD really went beyond the typical type of
sound. It was quite different and creative. I'm only sorry I haven't
heard your music until now! Again, great work on the CD. Talk to you
soon. Peace, Terri DiMarco
october 01 - Musical athmosphere respects and go for it with the good
willing
wishes! The world would be empty place without those songs. Keep
filling worlds gaps with the thoughts of Your music. All the best! Ari

Hey, wild critter - I just missed your Hard Rock concert <damn!> but my
husband and I wish you all the best. The site looks great and wow, you've
been so incredibly productive - all this action & new media since your
Undici2 performance. Good for you & take good care of yourself. THANKS for
the mailer update - a great investment! Your sensual performance kicks
ass, your body & personality are awesome,and we have total faith in your
power and ability. Keep it comin'! Gilli - after looking @ most of the
site, I'm wondering if there's any way to get a poster of the first of the
b&w photos on the battle of the babes mug - pretty pleease? Also, I'd love
one of the color shots of you singing in the vinyl jacket, your head back,
eyes closed, lost in the song. Also, one of you in wings by the tracks,
leaning against the wall - let me know, wouldja? Looking forward to the
diary to see how 9/11/01 affected you . NicoleJason Odhner & Nicole

10-25-01 Hello, I stumbled across Gilli Moon on ZeBox and really
enjoyed what I heard --- Keep up the good work and good luck with the
music! Have a good day, Kris - The Fleshpeddlers http://www.mp3.com/thefleshpeddlers
10-24-01 Hey I LOVED YOUR CD. Temperamental angel and swimming were my
favorite. I was really impressed with it and I'm not bullshitting you.
Really really awesome, now you just need to make another CD, and then
another and another, etc. Very very good! peter
10-8-01 - hello there. you are an amazing songwriter gilli...i am soo
impressed. hope you are settling back into your us home. peace & love be
with you
10-6-01 - You really put on a show don't you ?......It was very
interesting 4 me seeing you live now as to 4 years or so ago , and what
really stood out to me was how it was so tight as a band .I'll try to
explain ...... it was always "Gilli" singing on stage , with you in tune
and full of confidence but some how now reaching your full potential. Now
i know it wasn't you not having alot of experience as such but it was who
u had with you on stage . You all project this wave of energy that is very
powerful. You all not only sound great and tight but also enjoy what your
doing .As to it was YOU who sounded great and enjoyed what you were doing
. The album shows that even as good as it is , you are better ( as a band
) now and have a greater feel for the songs now . The next album you do I
strongly suggest you try to capture more of your live sound as it has a
better edge to some of the songs .... In finishing I was and am and always
will be very proud of you and what you have done so far , and I'm looking
fwd to hearing & seeing the next stage of your career . I had a great time
you look great and hope we can catch up again soon .......all the best.
p.s that song Damaged & Broken ........god ... its unreal !!!! put it on
the next disk !!!!!!!
10-3-01 Hi gilli, Just wanted to let you know that I have been
listening to you CD and I ADORE it!!! I think the track 'Temperamental
Angel' is my favourite but I love all of them! The production I spot on
and all the songs, melody,lyric and structure wise are strong - commercial
without a hint of cheese - just the way I hope my album will be when it's
done. All very inspiring..congratulations!! And please keep in touch and
let me know what you get up to. And if you need a bands/acoustic act as
support when you tour back here, give me a yell. xxMandy

9-25-01 Dear Gilli, My name is Tarryn Walter, I was at your show at the
harbourside Brasserie on the 25th of september, I thought u were really
great. My brother Jarrod was one of the dancers that danced along to
shine, he was full on bragging that he gats to dance with you and a whole
lot of other really cool stuff, I'm so JEALOUS!!!!, he is so lucky to have
a friend like Sarie who can get him involved in all this stuff. Over all
I would just like to say YOU REALLY ROCK!!! Tarryn
9-25-01 Dearest Gilli, Well, you certainly are full of surprises! Thank
U for your wonderful show; I have just arrived home, and wanted to write
and thank U before going to bed. I have listened to your album many times,
and tonight was one of those nights for me that doesn't come along often,
because seeing your show was something I was long awaiting. And it was
better, much better actually, than I expected, although expectations are
something I am not having as many of these days. And I didn't expect to
see you perform in Australia at all, least of all so soon. I wanted to say
how much your song lyrics touched me, as there are many of your songs (and
especially the 2 unrecorded ones) that describe the longing for the lost
inner child, and the war between confronting and letting go of the past. I
really enjoyed your lyrics, and your stage presence ... well ... I don't
need to tell you that you looked as comfortable and were as entertaining
and creative as always! I affirm you on your piano playing too! :) Great
work! Your confidence is an inspiration to me. Take care Gilli. Until next
time,Lotz of Love 'n' hugz, Vikki XXX
9-24-01 it was so great to see you perform on Saturday! You are such an
entertainer and you have such a strong voice, maybe one day I will get to
see one of your full on band shows. Anyway, if any of the pictures I took
are good I will get you copies. HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! AND WELL WHILE YOUR AT IT .........LUCRATIVE:)
AUSTRALIAN TOUR!!!!!!!!!!! Look forward to seeing you again in October or
November for the songwriter's workshop, Heather www.mp3.com/HeatherBaker
8-9-01 I saw your site in your yahoo profile and thought I'd pop in and
check out your music! What a rockin pleasant surprise!. There are some
awesome things happening in your music. You have the aggression of a rock
artist and the beauty of an angel's voice which makes for a great musician
with A LOT of talent! I would love to get your album and review it on Oz
Music Seek when we get our review area up later this year. - Geoff
8-9-01 Yeb! REALLY beautiful work and gives an moment of peace to soul.
Keep that!Peace! Sagittarius, Finland

happening for you..it's a long-long road isn't it!!!!!!!....the studio
is the same....acquiring gear instead of songs......... Great to see you
still use Paul Bryant...he's done about 150 C.D's for me now...he's still
the best!!!!!!!! - JEFF CRIPPS...A# Sharp Studio
8-13-01 Gilli- It's a wonderful recording. Hope millions of people play
it! Hugs, Scott G (The G-Man)
7-28-01 - Hey Gilli, It seems you have mistaken my email address for
someone else. I have to admit when I got your email I was thinking "What
in the world?!?!" I had no idea who you were. Your name sounded so
familiar so I looked you up on the Internet. I couldn't believe that a
famous rock star had emailed me! I know that you must be busy & probably
are disgusted that I took such interest in an email that was sent to the
wrong person. I downloaded some of your music (which I know love). It
seems so odd that you make the kind of art (aka music) that I love. I know
that to you this is some silly letter that you'll probably toss away
before even finishing. But I have to admit that I am taken away by this
pure coincidence. I love music. Music is like my escape from everything.
It's like going to the beach & you get that feeling of freeness all around
you. Obviously it has the same effect on you. My best friend, like you,
has a beautiful voice and has hopes of becoming a singer. It will be so
funny to see her face when I tell her someone 'important' accidentally
emailed me. Well thanks for your time, and I wish you best of luck with
your music career. What an odd way to make a fan right?
7-23-01 - i just listened to your cd and i was floored - a great
production!!!!!! You are a fabulous singer - well I could tell at the show
- yet missed alot -I want to alert you that your band mix was too loud in
relation to your vocals in the live setting(all sound men are deaf anyway
and they had you and your kick-ass amazing band cranked to the max) just
an idea - once your mix is done with the sound man - have everybody turn
down a notch- then your vocals will stand out better - we are missing the
lyric content and nuances of your incredible soulfulness and sexiness of
your singing - which is too fabulous to be believed - and so refreshingly
un-contrived yet masterfully pop at the same time. You sing alot about
drowning and swimming - I want you to know they are drowning you out. I
hurts me when this happens to singers - and it does oh so often.
Nonetheless your sheer energy - your entire gesalt and the raw energy of
your vocals carried the show magnificently. I think you have amazing songs
- and some commercial . Naked is a hit . swimming is a classic break up
song - so universal yet so quirkyly put - I just love how uncliche yet
spot on your lyrics work - and how your capture the sadness - and are so
incredibly moving for this jaded listener. you barely ever using rhyme -
maybe in the hooky chorus - yet your stuff still sounds commercial - The
other tunes I love is the hard hitting rock tune: disgrace - I want to
send it to my last boyfriend for review - not because he' a record
critique and journalist - but because it exactly communicated my
sentiments about our relationship . why do you still love me could be the
theme for a romantic movie about a dysfunctional relationship - this song
is a sleeper hit - like a country ballad can be sometimes . temperamental
angel is great too - oh I like alot more - I just don't want you getting a
big fat head now - just kidding. All in all - your live performance was
flawless and your raw chi-factor(Joel Jaffe used this term to describe you
which I thought was so interesting and well said) a powerful force which
never lost my interest - and I am pretty jaded i have to admit. It's
amazing how tough and vulnerable you are at once.
You sing like a soul-diva and look like a fem/butch baby-faced-tae-bo
warrior with a your curvy body and ample rack your honest sexuality
produces moves reminiscent of a pornstar in one glimspe and r&b hiphop
dancer the next - and a defiant toppy young elzbo the next(though there is
no real gay over tone to be sure about) you are a welcome relief from the
plaintiff/somewhat passive folk/rock artists and and the hard-core rocker
gyrations which in my opinion usually are predictable and contrived - your
movement is so integrated and seamless and interesting - so incredibly
non-repetitive - so very rock and roll - so NOT "performance art" (save
the wing/transition and the painting bit - which obviously is an unusual
thing to see in a band and will cause you to be noticed especially -
though it is fascinating - you alone are so interesting - the painting
felt to me a bit anti-climactic at moments - perhaps you are giving us a
break from the intsensity - I never wanted you to stop moving around ) -
your choregraphy makes you a very commercially viable video/stage vixen -
a darkly sexy and brilliant antithesis to brittany spears with the truth
on overdrive -your are the make-upless "real" non-skinny sex symbol for
the young anti-establishment - you will be a star - play progressive
colleges/art schools/ my dear - they will adore you. My dear - you have it
all!!!!!!!! - Amy Camus- Co-Founder DivaBands
7-20-01 - you were great and that second song made me cry, seriously
i had to go to the bathroom and blow my nose.... argh! beautiful stuff! xo
che
7-18-01 Your band sounded good last night and I hope things went well
with the record company. THat bass player is an excellent musician for
sure. Regards Jim
7-17-01 gilli...Hope you have a great show... wish I could be there. I
would form a fan club and surround the stage with groupies.
You are the kind of artist that deserves to make it big. Your
intelligent approach to all aspects of this mission has not gone
unnoticed. Our best to you and Warrior Girl Music.
You are still in medium rotation spin here at theWave (KRSC-FM)
Claremore/TULSA. Thanks for the cross marketing by including some of my
comments on your web page. It's nice to have an Australia connection via
Hollywood...
2 july 01 - Hi Gilli, thanks for including me on "News from the Moon".
I look forward to hearing you at the Gig and I'm fairly sure I can catch
you at the Hot Wired Cafe. I live pretty close to both locations. Last
Friday, I was listening to my CD here in the office from my computer
drive. Not the same experience as being able to pump up the volume at home
and relishing every beat. I love all the songs especially Disgrace - very
powerful and it sure it's home. Ouch! -
16 june 01 - I had a great time last night at Hard Rock Cafe! You and
your band are AWESOME. Michelle loved you too and she couldn't wait to get
home and play the CD. - Lourdes
2-june 01 - Hello, gilli moon! Awsome music. I`m glad that i have find
mp3.com. Here i can listen music from all the world! I LOVE MUSIC! Thanks
you for your work! I hope i will visit your site again in the future. Keep
up the good work and good luck for you with your music! Your friend from
Russia, Victor Azanov.
1 june 01 - You are rock'n and roll'n! I'm very proud of you and can't
wait to see you live again! Cin
24 may 01 - Hi, As an Mp3.com artist I listen to a lot of band to
discover new talent. I looked at your web site and your song has something
different from the others. I like the way you combine your sounds. Good
luck with your future projects. Dj ZaZe http://www.mp3.com/codebass Ps :
Sorry for my bad english, my first language is French.
24 may 01 - wow! I listened to it again and again, analyzed it turned
it inside out and listened to it again. It reminds me of this Ozzie band I
worked with back in my BMG days called the Baby Animals and not only that,
there's something that makes it unique and much better than a lot of stuff
out there right now... I wish you could make a trip to the East coast
'cause I'd really like to here you live (cybercasts don't really work well
for me). Anyway thanks for the CD it's really good and extremely well
mixed... there's not a song on it that I don't like. Get to New York!!!! -
marco rosa
15 may 01 - We love you and we're so proud of you. Fantastic words and
music. If heart has anything to do with it you're there. John, Jack, Jill
and Daisy
10 may 01 - WOW Gilli, You are kicking super butt right now, girl. I am
so proud of you. You carve the way for us all:) Love & Light, and votes,
of course, Cindy
5 may 01 - Compliments on your Website. It is very well done and I
agree that Lucien has a huge potential. His talent and dedication will
lead him to success. Good job Gilli ! and thank you for helping other
artists. Martine
5 may 01 - Well I finally got the chance to meet you... You know when
we talk over the phone its easy to put a picture with the voice and I'm
not sure about you but we are typically surprised when we see the "real"
picture of who we work with. I have had the pleasure of viewing and
listening to your CD... Temperamental Angel. My most favorite recording is
Naked. It has a terrific sound, your voice is beautiful and it flows
wonderfully. My hat off to you. Its always been a dream of mine to record
and sing. In fact... many years ago, when I was a young gal, I did record
a few songs. The team I worked with was terrific but for many factors, I
could not pursue what I love so much. I have three daughters and my
youngest is most vocal. She is six. She and I sing together and she has
come to know the music scale, she has vibrato and just throws herself
into music. It brings me much joy to watch her. Best of wishes and all the
best in your music endeavor. Its really fantastic! Lynn
23 apr 01 - Great to see you too. I've been listening to the CD and I
am really liking what you've made. Great job girl...My take is a cross
between Garbage and Kate Bush...I love both... Stuart J
14 apr 01 - I really enjoyed the show. You ROCK! You were so ON, which
was obvious in your energy, your spirit, and your voice. It was apparent
that you were in your element, comfortable with it, and having a great
time! Congratulations! Once again, it was an honor for me to be a part of
it all. Scott

Richard S. Shaw
3 apr 01- I wish I could express to you how wonderful it has been for
me to experience the creation of this music, YOUR MUSIC, which has made
you so happy and "revealed your true self". Love, Evan
Dear Gilli Was immensely impressed with the reviews. No one deserves
success more than you. Not only are you really talented, you're one of the
hardest workers I've come across. I can only hope for you amazing success
in acknowledgement and in dollars. Go Girl! Regards from Jayne
Hi Gilli, Thanks for your email. I just wanted to let you know that I
got your album the other week and I LOVE IT! Great work! My favorite songs
are "Temperamental Angel" and "Naked." The whole album seems to hang
together well and I listed to it in my car from start-to-finish. Good luck
with the launch! I'm sure it will go great! - Aaron
What a great f* interview! I just read it! I'm getting more excited
about this with every layer that is peeled off. You are too cool! Kelly
23 mar 01 - Now back to the personal part of this letter. I bought your
CD recently and I absolutely love it! You did a great job,
congratulations! When I went on MB's show a couple of week's ago, I got
him to play the track "Why Do You Love Me Still" which I really love -
there's such an incredible build in the dynamics on that one. Well done! -
Rachel.
23 mar 01- Hi Gilli, I am very impressed by your musical abilities and
live performances as well as your business savy. It's amazing that you
have started your own record label. Your web sites are very professional.
I wanted to know what your 9-5 job is that you mention in your diary. I,
like many other musicians, am tired of working meaningless anal jobs to
support myself while my passion goes unused. Good luck on your Album
Launch on 4/10.- Rebecca
20 mar 01 good on ya. gillie. - Ian Madison and Sam Neill
3 mar 01 you are soooo cool...love your music - Chris Larson
27 feb 01 Hey girlie! Well, I have to tell you, one of the reasons I
was so anxious to have you get some more CD's to me is because Miss
Victoria, from my office has had your CD pretty much since the day it
arrived. I think I got to give it one spin, and I remember I was very
impressed, but now I really remember why. I've listened to the CD 3 times
since last night and it's so good!!!!!!!! I am really surprised that no
one has attached a Kate Bush comparison to it yet. You're amazingly
talented like Kate, and still very fresh and inventive! - Kelly
26 feb 01 Gilli Moon anyone? What's everyone listing to today? Just HAD
to say that on constant repeat is Gilli Moon's "Swimming." Got this over
the weekend and wow, anyone with lingering breakup issues will lap this
fantastical gem up from piano pounce one! Maybe a break from the Eminem
drama hear would be some "Now Playing" posts? - xo melyssa Get Fancy
3 feb 01 - Hi Gilli, Sorry I've taken so long to let you know this but
the album sounds amazing! Congratulations to you for all your hard work
and dedication. I wish you all the success you can handle for 2001!
Cheers, Brett Garsed
3 feb 01 - Thank you Gilli for the wonderful CD. We think it's
fantastic, and grows on you more each time you listen to it. Great to
catch up with you in Australia! Our favourite songs are: Luis=> Naked,
Tania: Temperamental Angel, Vikki: Disgrace and Why Do you Love me Still.
Tania says ... "Sounds very like Kate Ceberano in style and vocals". Hope
to see you perform live once again in Oz sometime soon. Good luck in the
future. V, L & T XXX Luis, Vikki & Tania
2 feb 01 - got it friday! thank you! so far my favorite song is
'naked'...i just love it! - Laura, Columbus OH
16 Jan 01 - When are you coming to Peoria, IL.
I have been listening to your songs for almost a year now ... and your
new stuff is awesome!! I share your songs with everyone I know. We have
some great clubs here. Madison Theatre, etc. Talk to Jay Goldberg. Thanks
and look forward to seeing you LIVE!!! Kirk
Dec 00 - "Naked" is my favorite song. Have a happy holiday! Artist
Discovery.com
Dec 00 – I loved the record! really nice, really versatile. 1st choice:
#5 second choice: #4 third choice: #7
Dec 00 - I think your CD has great potential and especially after
seeing you perform live I'm even more of a fan. I think the best tracks
are "Temperamental Angel" (the single?), "Naked" and "Alive" (absolutely
stunning). I like them because I think they are where you really show your
vocal "passion" and I think they have the most contemporary indie feel
that I'm most partial to. These are definitely the most inspiring tracks
to listen and the ones that make me play your cd again in that good
obsessive way. "Time" has a very nice boppy radio friendly quality. I love
the way you rock out on "Disgrace" this is a very classic pop/rock song
that would also make a great single. I also love the flute intro to "Touch
Me" and this is also a really fun radio friendly song (you sound very
Olivia Newton John in parts). I think you've done a great job Gilli. I
wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing what you do next. I'm
listening to "Alive" right now. quite brilliant.
12/11/00 - i think the cd is a hit. tyler loved it (4 years old) and
still dances to it. he seems to especially love the speaking portion at
the beginning. as for me, i am not equipped to be a music critic, but i
thought most of the songs were radio quality.- Janelle
12/8/00 Congratulations! By the way, I love the Warrior Girl Internet
Press Release - THE BEST INTERNET SEX EVER. Great grabber!
12/7/00 Gilli - as I write this...it sounds very good!
12/6/00 What's up! I've just left your site and reviewed your
production, and I must say that I was highly impressed!! Your production
really sounds good and is also "awe inspiring", It's sad to see so much
great talent and not a big enough resource so that every talented Artist
can get a piece of that "BIG PIE CUT", but anyway I really enjoyed what
I've heard..... please post me up when you create something new so that I
can adore more of your work...If you'd like to take a quick peek at what
I'm offering to MP3.COM..check me out..and if you got time give me some of
your inspiring feedback! Again Thanks! I'll keep in touch.

12/5/00 THe cd is tremendous. The overall quality, voice clarity,
musicianship, song writing and expression are excellent. Motion Picture
companies should take note.
12.5.00 Your song TEMPERAMENTAL ANGEL = Smash opening number.- Nice
start. . Construction reminiscent of Supertramp. SWIMMING - Swimming is
undeniably an emotional song. Elegantly simple. Piano and poetry in blue.
Great vocals
Suzie bought a cd last night. She thinks the same. Loves the cd.
Her favourites at first listen - TA, Plenty, Swimming & Disgrace. D
12/3/00 I bought the Album and I love it. Gilli I really love it and
your , Stephen Kalinich - Lyricist for Beach Boys and Randy Crawford and
many other artist.
12/2/00 I finally got a moment to sit down and really listen to your
CD. I must say that your 3 ballads are very moving especially 'Swimming' -
a masterpiece. Dr Brooks
11/29/00 Once again I am late acknowledging a landmark in your upward
flight. I never cease to be impressed with your drive and your passion for
your work. It IS the only way. I'm looking forward to hearing the album.
Congratulations and - higher and higher. Love Chris Kirby
11/24/00 HI GILLI!!!!! humming your songs. thanks for the great CD!!!
we love you!!! P.S. Nice site!! julie & sandy
11/23/00 Principessa, Wow is right! Bravo, bravo, "Temperamental
Angel." E
11/15/00 It sounds great and the songs are absolutely killer. You
should be proud of your work, Gilli. I am very proud to have played on it,
and I unfortunately do NOT say that about a lot of CDs I've been on. Well
done to you and Evan! - Christopher Maloney
11/15/00 Finally listening to the CD on some good speakers and with no
one else around. IT"S GREAT!!! The whole lot. The opening is very
interesting and leads beautifully into Temperamental Angel. I love it. The
quality of the sound is excellent. The mix is clear and precise. Your
orchestration is new and original. The choice of instruments and
combination of sounds is well chosen. Evan has clearly shown his talent
with engineering. The production is faultless. The choice of songs is
good. Claude
11/8/00 - Just listened to your new CD - it is brilliant - I love it.
Some very different sounds on this one. Sounds very polished. I like how
you've gone a bit heavier with some of the songs. SOUNDS EXCELLENT!!!! I
love temperamental angel. AWESOME! Very proud of you, you've impressed the
socks off me once again... Kristi
11/5/00 - I think it's excellent. Wow. Great voice! - Jamie
11/2/00 - I just wanted you to know that, according to the proprietor,
I was the first to buy your CD at The Art Cafe yesterday. I haven't had
time to play the whole CD yet, but the title track was just great.
Congratulations, and the best of all possible best wishes, Dan Moore
11/1/00 - You're record, I knew already that it sounds incredible, but
it looks so insane, it's ridiculous, I'm jealous in a good way, not like
competitive, I hope one day i can have a record that looks that good, it's
just YOU!! and the record is in my car, I love Naked!! that's a great song
- eddie
10/29/00 - I checked out the website and I love the cover art for the
new CD!!!! I am pleased to hear that things are going so well for you
now...you deserve it! - Christina
10/26/00 - I really love Plenty, but Temperamental Angel has really
grown on me. I think it has got a great anthem quality. I also like the
way it develops/progresses. Maureen
10/29/00 Hey, I was just on your site at mp3.com. Really enjoyed your
stuff!! Joe Langley
10/26/00 Dear Gilli, I always enjoy reading about what you're up to
now. What great energy you have. I just love it when you meet/know someone
who actively pursues what they're after and doesn't sit back waiting for
it to happen. Regards, Jayne Ambrose WTS Entertainment
10/25/00 Big congrat's and best of luck with the launch. It must be a
great feeling to have achieved this album. Alan
10/23/00 Dear Gilli. The first time I heard about your music is when a
friend sent Feel For You in mp3 version. I loved it so much and found the
sound to be so refreshing. I find that now a days many artists do not have
their own special sound. There are too many groups that are put together
like Back Street Boys although some of their songs are fresh all too many
times you can not decipher their mus between them and another groups such
as NSYNC. Mariah Carey is a very talented artist but many of her songs
sound the same. I continually searched websites for your music and found
Girl On The Moon and on another site found write-ups about you in
Australia. Now for the past year have been using Napster and saw your
name show with other songs. I find the Napster to be controversial. In
some ways I think it is great to promote people but then it is not good
when you can get all of the songs that are on a single CD for free. That
is taking full advantage and I am sure that Napster can not control this.
It seems there has been so much publicity over this but in reality there
are many other websites were people can download music from for free. What
is your opinion on this topic? I will definitely check out the web address
you sent me so I can purchase your CD's. Cheers Lisa Cattel
10/21/00 Dear Gilli. I was wondering if your first CD that was released
in Australia 2 years ago will ever be released in North America. I live in
Vancouver, BC, Canada and have tried many times over to purchase this. I
have gone to import stores to see if they could bring it in at any cost to
no avail. I absolutely loved the songs "Girl On The Moon" and "Feel For
You". I do hope there is some way for me to purchase your first CD and
noted in the email I received today that your 2nd CD is to be released in
the USA November 28
10/20/00 I just listened to your song on the Phenomenal Unsigned
Artists station. Thanks, Ryan www.mp3.com/ryangindhart
10/18/00 gilli moon, heard your music, you sound great! Adele adele@liveunsigned.com
10/18/00 Hi Gilli, I have been meaning to email you for sometime now
just to congratulate you on your success at the 2000 Song Expo. Well
done!!! Isn't it great when the hard work finally pays off.... :-) Keep in
touch, Damien Halloran
10/17/00 I enjoyed the too-short set ... at the risk of sounding oh so
"hippie," I must comment on the wonderfully, warm and positive "vibe" of
the Bee's crowd towards you; very tangible. E
10/2/00 Jon Mitchell suggested I cruise your web site. Good job! There
is so much stuff, and cool designs, and it is deep, like I could keep
going back for more, you know? Great work Gilli, you are a hard worker,
and I'm sure the music is just as deep. Looking forward to hearing
recorded & live. You rock! The Eggman
10/2/00 Keep going girl, you're doing great. So looking forward to the
Beehive. Light & Love, Cindy
10/1/00 Gilli, Congratulations on the international music award for
your song, "Plenty," I look forward to hearing your latest work,
"temperamental angel." I'm especially interested because you wrote all the
songs and if the record's truly stripped down and "raw and sensitive" as
described, then you've released the "artist/Gilli Moon" inside. When you
totally surrender your naked soul, you will be set apart, you have a
natural gift. Ernie
10/1/00 Hey Gilli,. Congrats on the new album,...Devin
8/30/00 Hi Gilli. I have" Naked " (my favorite!) on my station
Phenomenal Music Artists. www.mp3.com/stations/phenominalartists It is
listed on your MP3 site under your stations. Stop by and enjoy some music
by a group of talented dedicated artists. www.mp3.com/shannonjay
8/29/00 Hi Gilli. Firstly let me say that I think you have an amazing
talent ! Your Mum was kind enough to give me a copy of your "Girl in the
Moon" CD and I think it's great. It gets played often and I can assure you
that Lew and I will be doing the rounds of the local music stores when you
release your official CD later this year, asking them to be sure and order
in plenty of copies ! We're looking forward to hearing more of "Gilli
Moon"! - Kristy Pulbrook
8/28/00 Hi Gilli, Shannon Jay here, fellow MP3 artist. Just stopped by
and checked out your ever so cool site...totally pro! Played a few of your
songs...damn you are good! Want to exchange on artists we like..add a song
to my station.. www.mp3.com/shannonjay
7/22/00 Just to let you know I played all your songs again tonight. I
really love your music and your voice. Your songs are very haunting and
beautiful. Keep on making great music! - Martin

7/19/00 Hey- I saw Jessica Christ at The Mint a couple months ago and I
was way into it. **GREAT MUSIC** I'd love to see more. Thanks a lot, and
keep rockin'! - RS
7/12/00 Hi babe! While in Vietnam, I was working out at the gym in our
hotel, which overlooked
the Australian Embassy, and a bunch of Aussies were in there working
out with me. Coincidentally, I was listening to your record and Didgeridoo
Dreaming came on, and there was this very Australian moment all of the
sudden...for Vietnam, anyways!!!! xoxoJonathan
5/24/00 Wanted to say that you are GREAT!!! Robin, one of our female
singers fell in love with your sound. Congrats and keep up the good
work... Good Luck on your new Album and career. We like to see Artists
with your talent make it and we expect you will. If we can help in any way
just let us know. Good Day and God Bless!

Leave a message for gilli in the guest book She'll write back!
4/8/00 After The Gig gig
You were incredible. Seriously fucking brilliant. Honestly the best
show I've seen yet babe. And that dress was gobsmackingly gorgeous.
Svelte, sexy...you go
girl! -Shelli-anne
4/10/00 "Review: Gilli Moon "Naked"
Sexy voice, dreamy song. Makes me think naughty thoughts. Hope she wins
the babe battle"
Good Luck, Randy Hansen - Eraserhead
4/10/00 Hi,I am Mug from ATP(adenosine triphosphate). Just writing to
let you know I really liked your works. My band mate/singer Taata will
love your work too. I will let her listen.

4/10/00 Dear Gilli, Thank you SO much for making sure that my CD's got
sent in a hurry. I love it and Monika loves her's too! I think we're going
to try and come to the show at the Gig. What are the Los Angeles Music
Awards? Did you win something? I hope so! Also, did the thing in Music
Connection come out? I looked at it a couple times at the bookstore, but
didn't see it. I've been listning to my Jessica Christ CD a bunch and
singing along with you. I want to learn to play bass and start a band.
You're my hero. You rawk! luv, Tara

and maybe u can have a listen....but, you are soooooooooo
good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1/27/00 hey gilli moon , you've some VERY cool tunes there!!! luuv too
much!!
best of luck to you, gbj
1/6/00 Your energy and belief in your work is inspirational and I wish
you luck with all your projects. Your work seems to have a nice symmetry
to it and I'll know it'll all come together for you - I think a career
that's fuelled by 'doing' has an organic growth as opposed to one that's
fuelled by 'wishing'. Chris Kirby
1/5/00 way to go! all i can say is...it's about time! congrats! - Laura
