Fly high over your rainbow Sam and know you live on in our hearts and souls forever.  From: Jason Glenn Neely (Jgneely@gmail.com) June 20 2010 Happy Fathers Day Dad ! I love and miss you VERY much !I am going to lite me up a cigar for you today ! Been playing your music non stop this wonderfull Sunday !!! Miss ya ! J.G.N. From: Ron Jensen May 19 2010 Many years ago, I had Sam's first album and really liked it. For some reason, a couple of those songs popped into my head recently and I did an Internet search and found this page. I'm so sad Sam is no longer making music. But I plan to reacquaint myself wiht the music he left behind. My best wishes to his family and friends who miss him still.... From: Cindi Bonifer (gigibonifer@yahoo.com) May 16 2010 Fans and friends, the tribute book called ''Sam Neely: Loving You Just Crossed Our Minds'' is now available by emailing me at the above address or calling 361.947.0418. There are great pictures of Sam by Patrick Lewis and others contributed by Sam's family. Proceeds benefit local charities. Thanks for your patience and support of this book. It has been an honor to write it with my daughter Lorelei Stenseth. From: JD Sell (jd@ma.rr.com) April 13 2010 I've been a disc jockey since 1973, and we got thousands of albums and 45's into the station in hoped of getting air play. I remember the first sam neely song i heard triggered something in me. I took the record home, and started listening in a more casual surrounding, something I often did to get a better feel for new artists. It only took a couple of days to realize Sam was special, and started giving him some plays. We got good response, but more than that, I knew I had become a lifelong fan. From: GeBe Landergren (gbwriter@hotmail.com) March 29 2010 I bought your album in Los Angeles 1978 after listening to you.(probably in the radio). Rosalie was one of my favourite. So sad to realise that yoy are not with us anymore. But you are still alive. We will all of us meet you. I love your song Rosalie. I live in Gothenburg Sweden. Kisses to Jason & Kelsea (I hope I understood right that you are the family. Kisses from GeBe From: judye (spence)clark (judylovesdolphins@yahoo.cvom) March 21 2010 hey sam i just read alot of the other hellos and i agree ther is no better way to take yourself back to a good or even great time in life than to sit down and put your cds on and listen like the old song says ''get lodt in the fifties: you can really get lost in time going back to the ele eel kings inn and many other places they sure were ggod times i moved to mem in 1977 but if it hadnt been for your records dont know if id stayed would come back to cc and first night home we;d go looking for sam and wouldnt take long to fine you either im so sorry i missed the last 30+years but i have my memories and cds to keep on going i now have the last two so im good to go hope ton see you nagain someday and then we can let the party start all over again love judye From: Laurie Roussel (pianochick711@yahoo.com) March 18 2010 I'm so glad we can still hear you. I'm so sorry that you and my dad had to go within days of each other. I can really try hard to remember his voice which has now faded softer than a whisper in my head, and the only tape we had was that on the answering machine and my brother erased it. How fortunate J is to have so much of you left...really, how blessed the whole world is to have you yet a part of it in some way. You were so gracious to us all. I know what people think your big accomplishments were, but as a parent I can say that NOTHING IN THIS WORLD OR THE NEXT compares with the feeling of accomplishment & satisfaction when you teach and instill something in your child & see it come to fruition. For those who don't know, Sam's son, Jason, is a living legacy...with a singing voice that eerily mirrors his dad's at times, but his guitar ability...it's his superpower...like watching Superman fly! I know he's proud of you & Kelsea, Jas. I know it's hard for Jas to fathom that he doesn't walk in Sam's shadow, but rather equally beside him and though Sam probably sounded parental (to Jas at least) when coaching him along, I always, ALWAYS saw the pride he had in Jas after he'd solo...Always if I caught his eye, I could see the sideways, twinkly irish smile...along with...THE EYEBRow... ^ Sam, Wherever you are, I hope you and Louis go easy on prankin' Dad...;] ... yet a loyal fan, Laurie From: Bobby Moore (bobby.moore@callabco.com) Home page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000436541302&ref=nf March 14 2010 I'm so sorry to hear that Sam passed away. I met Sam more than 20 yrs ago when he was playing in my Mom and Dad's night club, The Kountry Klub. I loved his song The Party's Over (I was a big fan of MASH) when Sam found out that I had takin the time to learn the song he asked if I'd like to sign it with him. I was awe-struck and couldnt believe that someone like Sam would ask me to sign with him on stage. But he had and so I did. It was something that will be with me forever. I've posted a picture of Sam and I on that night on my FB page. Goodbye and solong my friend. Bobby From: judy clark (spence) (libby_lou_93@yahoo.com) February 3 2010 miss you its been 30+YEARSand when i listen to your cd's its almost like time stood still wish we could all go back wouldn;t that be something wow to sam's kids i;m so sorry for your lost but we as fan and friends know how you feel miss and love him. judye clark From: Minnie Motley (minnow50@aol.com) January 3 2010 So sorry to hear about Sam's passing-I did have the opportunity for some email chats with him before he passed.I have always been a fan and will remain so,did Sam ever put Sam Neely-his first album That I am aware of)on CD? has Take Me Back Wife on it____ From: trishgunter (trishgunter@yahoo.com) December 17 2009 sam you will always be known as a person with a heart of gold just like nan jason and kelsea it doesnt end there your dad lives through you so shine take care trish From: Wallace Klekar (walace48@comcast.net) Home page: http://www.wklekar.com November 23 2009 I remember Sam from Jr. High. I lived just up the street from him. I would to go listen to him play and sing at his house. I lost track of him after high school. I'm glad to see that he was able to live his dream. From: Ben (ben@dabin.com.au) November 18 2009 Sam, I was 10 yrs old at my primary school fete in a small town called Yass in Australia. I had 50c to spend and out of everything a kid could spend their money on at a fete, I chose to buy my very first cassette tape from a box of someones old tapes. It was the music of Sam Neely and I played it over and over year after year. 26yrs on I still have it as for some reason I have always cherished it. In all of my moves it was boxed with my valuables and for the past many years I have kept it in my top drawer along with my passport. It would have been an honour to have met you and through reading your guestbook a little part of me feels as though I have in some way. Besides, one day I'll be where you are now and I will have the pleasure in meeting you and hearing you sing. A fan. From: GENE BARTON (DIRTBABY77@AOL.COM) October 6 2009 I THOUGHT ROSALIE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER.FOR YEARS I WANTED TO GET SAM TO RECORD A SONG THAT I WROTE.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIT!!THANKS FOR THE MUSIC SAM,GENE From: Joanne (jdudley@lifelinemedgas.com) September 27 2009 Sam and Jason, You will both always have a special place in my heart. I listen to your music often and remember the special times. Sam's amazing voice and Jason- no one can play like you. From: Cindy Freeman Brissman (cindybrissman@yahoo.com) September 16 2009 I met Sam in Corpus Christi in 1967 or 1968. Sorry I can't remember exactly the year. My soon to be husband was his friend and I still remember what a gentleman he was. I am sorry to hear of his passing. RIP and God Bless his family. From: Steve Weldon (lweldon@frontiernet.net) August 25 2009 Dear Sam, Happy Birthday a few days late! I remember celebrating your Bday in Port A when I moved back to CC in the 90's. I still can hear that voice on the phone. You will never be forgotten my friend! I read Carl Beckers great letter and I remember some funny times at Studio B. Afew I cant talk about in mixed company but there were plenty of laughs. Zack and Lorie send their love. I'll also never forget how unselfishly you looked after your ailing Mom when you had your own problems. But that was you buddy. You took care of the ones you loved. We'll all be there with ya in no time if we mind ort P's & Q's. Your bud always.

I miss you Dad ...................Peace & love ,,, J.G.N. From: Cathy Smith (comforth4him@yahoo.com) July 18 2009 I bought Sam Neely 2 when I was around 14, and I'm 49 now. I loved his music then and still do. I watched every tv appearance he made that I could. I'm deeply saddened to know he's passed away at still such a young age. His music will reign forever as will his spirit, and the lives of those (family and fans alike) that he has touched. RIP Sam - God bless you. From: Bob Branson (bobbranson@sbcglobal.net) June 7 2009 Just last night I was showing my vinyl vollection to a young person and pulled out Sam Neely 2, which Sam gave to a young deejay when we met in 1973. I am saddened to learn he has passed.

From: Carl Becker (carlebeck@aol.com) May 14 2009 Many yaers ago, believe it was 1967 we ran into Sammy Neely in my old home town of Corpus Christi, Texas...We did some production on Sammy and his music...Just a young kid at the time trying to break into the Music Business...at the ''end of the world''.. when speaking of the Music Business... in little old Corpus Christi, Texas... He made a believer out of a lot of people and made a name of himself... We will never forget Sammy Neely that's for sure.. Sam was one of the nicest people in the business.. His son Jason plays guitar with such feel...For example...listen to ''Writing on the Wall'' You made Sammy very proud Jason.... God Bless you Sammy...

Warm regards from Sam's friend Jörg in Germany From: Danny Silkwood (daniel399@sbcglobal.net) March 30 2009 I never get tired listening to my old Sam Neely albums. ''Loving You Just Crossed My Mind'' is one of my all time favorite songs. Sam and his music are truly missed! Danny From: judy (spence) clark (libby_lou_93@yahoo.com) February 20 2009 hi sammy, just to say hi and miss and love you judye From: Kurt Lengel (klengel@videotron.ca) February 8 2009 Sam, I miss you too. I remember all those nights spent at the Sundance Saloon on Corona Street, dancing and having a great time. I was just a kid, barely 18 (the legal age was lower then), and returning to Corpus Christi after being away for many years. I had no friends, and you took me under your wing, made me feel welcome. You brought me into your circle, let me hang with the band, even belt a few tunes on stage from time to time. You were, and still are, my truest friend, someone I will never forget. When I had my motorcycle accident, you took the time to visit me in the hospital and at home, encouraging me to get well and walk again. Over the years I drifted on, but I never forgot you or what you did for me. Occasionally, I would make it back to CC and I always looked you up, and you were always there to shake my hand, take me to lunch and listen to me ramble about my travels. It was never about you, Sam, it was about those around you. You made us all feel good, and people like you are a rarity these days. It is an honor to have you as a friend. You are in my heart and soul forever. To Kelsea and Jason, I know how you feel. In 2004 I lost my father and in 2006 my mother followed. Sam was a friend to them as well, and I understand that loss. There are no easy words of comfort, but he will always be with us everyday. My heart is with you both. From: kelsea January 14 2009 Dad, i need you.! From: Cindi Bonifer (gigibonifer@yahoo.com) January 14 2009 Daphne, I believe the song is ''Sadie Take a Lover''. Fans & friends: the manuscript for Sam's tribute book is about to go to publishing. Thanks for your patience! From: Daphne (dldaphne@shaw.ca) January 10 2009 Back in 1977 I had an album of Sam's. I can't remember the name of it. There was one song in particular that was so plaintive that I could emotionally release some tears. I don't even remember the name of the song, and the only words that come back to me are something about ''going south''...I think in a kind of chorus. I have checked the albums on Sam's web site but can't seem to find the song. I know this is very little to go on but can anyone help me figure out what song that is? I would like to purchase a CD that has it on it. Thanks anyone who can help. Daphne From: kelsea neely (kbland48@yahoo.com) January 5 2009 Daddy, i miss you so much its unbelievable.. life isnt goingg so greatt... i need you heree.. :( i love you daddy! From: Kitty Markusfeld (Kittenis6@yahoo.com) December 9 2008 I spoke to Sam back in 2004 and just came across the order form of the cd's I wanted to order. I just went to his website and found out that he passed, I'm so sorry I hope that a long road to Texas took him home. Rest in peace Sam. Kitty From: Kelsea Neely (kbland48@yahoo.com) November 18 2008 Dad, i have been thinking about you alot lately. I miss you like crazy! I miss you always being there with me through EVERYTHING, but i know that you still are somehow, helping me through everyday!

From: Richard Bridges (radionewsguy8893@yahoo.com) October 15 2008 I never had the pleasure of meeting Sam but I learned about him and his music through his brother Rodney who played many of Sam's songs for me. I was impressed with his music from all eras. I intend to buy some of his CDs despite not being a huge country music fan. From: Dawna K. (dawnakramer@yahoo.com) Home page: http://www.myspace/dodonut80 September 28 2008 Sam reached the hearts of many. I remember listening to his music as a little girl. I grew up with all the crazies!
