Love your new sound.
Love your new sound.
We will be coming to your concert tomorrow night at The Capitol Theatre. Looking forward to this wotj great anticipation. We love bluegrass and gospel music.
Hi ya'll. Roy here, I live in Oakland CA but originally I'm from Charlottesville VA. I have loved and cherished the Lewis Family over the years and now I am very excited to see the Little Roy & Lizzy show this year. I'll try to catch you in Mineral VA. lotsa love
Great show in Jekyll Island ga.
Hey my wife & i have bin going to your concerts in lancaster for many yrs till we moved to co. So ws just look at music on the web& found you guys.. & you are coming to westcliff co. so so excited to see that, will try to be there..And thanks for including the west in your travels.. May God bless you as you sing & travel.. Conrad
Ya'll were awesome at Jekyll. Thank you for continuing to bring your gifts of talent to us to enjoy so we can forget about our daily routine. We send much love to Rebecca, Lizzy and the entire Lewis Family. This family is the group that brought Dave and me to bluegrass in January of 2002 at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We salute you for keeping the family together for as long as you did; well done, sir! These issues are never easy, nor cut and dried. As you know your fans have adopted each of you as their own family and are concerned about you; therefore, we appreciate your interaction with us at the CD/DVD table. We can listen to you anytime on our CD's and watch the viedos of you, but we come to the festivasl to buy new CD's and DVD's and to say hello, how are you? Bonnie was lovely in handling the table for the group. Calm and collected, although we were coming at her like a drove of bees! Our very best as always to you and Lizzy. One last thing, thank you for incjuding the old songs of the Lewis Family. Sure would have liked to have heard, "Which Came First", "One Rose", and Angles Gathering Flowers". My favorites. My thoughts are that you are teaching your new band the old songs and it takes time. We'll wait! : ) Please bring more viedos of the Lewis Family, I don't have enough of them and like to watch them when we are in RV parks that don't have cable TV. Happy New Year and I'll catch Lizzy on fb.
Little Roy has more energy and talent then you can beleive. Thanks Roy. And keep it go'in. When you get in the Oxford, Pa area I'll look for ya. I'll see you at Mineral Va in July. Lizzy, I only hope you can keep up! Les
I lived in Lincoln county until I was 12. My Daddy moved to Jones County and that is where I live now.
Been following you for a long time. First saw you at Lincon County High School many years ago.
Always enjoyed your music.
I am eighty one now and I am glad to see you keep the Lewis Family alive.
Lizzie you probably don't remember me but I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. I saw Ty Herndon last Friday for A Make a Wish charity and he mentioned your nameI'm also very proud of Rebecca and hope everyone is doing well. God Speed.
Greetings! Just wanted to say I enjoyed last sayurday evening at Sandy Ridge concert . Lizzy you and Little Roy have a special bond that makes your music great I enjoyed listening to your music at home and on the road when I travel . I also love your cds of when you first started playing and singing. I am new fan of the bluegrass music ,I started listening to bluegrass at the first of the year 2009. Thats when I met Rhonda Vincent and the Rage in north carolina and have been to several of there concerts around the area. Now I have met you and Little Roy and am a Big Fan of your music also. Caint wait to see you guys again when you come through north carolina again. Merry Christmas and a Great New Year 2010

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH ONES YOU HAVE ON HAND. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND TELL EVERYONE HELLO FOR US. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Really miss seeing you. Looking at your calendar, doesn't look you are going to be coming anywhere near Delaware even next year. I always went to see you at Sam Yoders in Houston, Delaware. You said you would still be "around", but don't see anwhere close to me. Please try to come back to Sam Yoders if at all possible. Thanks. From a True Fan who has been following you for YEARS. You may not remember, but it was I and my Cousin that asked you so many questions about the Guitars you played, and you played your Har for us and lots of Songs (after the concert) outside the campers, with Mosquitos Biting you. Really am going to miss you. And Lizzy sounds Great. Will try to look for your new CD's and hopefully some DVD's. You are really going to be missed in this area. May God bless you (and Lizzy) as you venture forward and keep you Safe while traveling. Will be praying for you. Mike

Roy,i enjoyed the jam session in nashville on friday night at the IBMA convention with you and Lizzy.Thanks for the insight on the 60 gauge ghs strings. They really give a bassy bluegrass sound. Thanks again,Bob Bragdon
I'm sure gonna miss th' Lewis Family, but I'm really lookin' forward to seein' y'all on-stage. Do ya have any plans to make it to North Texas, anytime soon?
Little Roy,
I have been following the Lewis Family for many, many years. I have All your CD's and most of your DVD's (and some on VHS Tapes).Play them all the time, at home and while driving. I saw your last performance in Houston, Delaware as "The Lewis Family", and sorry to see them retire. You may not remember, but my cousin and I were asking you about the Guitars you play and your Harp. You also played several songs (after the show) sitting outside in camping area, with Mosquitos Biting. This is first time I went to your new Website with You and Lizzy. I really enyoyed the song that stared playing. I didn't catch the song name, but assume it to be: "Down By The River" (I'm guessing). But in either case, You and Lizzy really Sound Great together. I look forward to exploring your website when I get more time, and look forward to you coming back to "Little Old" DELAWARE (small state), or somewhere close, maybe in Northern Delaware or maybe Salisbury, Maryland area so I can come to see You and Lizzy. Keep up the Great Work, and Best of Luck in your New Adventure, and may God Bless you and take care of you as you travel. Mike Melson
Great website. 5 window 32 will be on the road next 2010 again.

I am proud of you Lizzy. Keep up the good work.
So glad to see you're coming back to Milan MI next August.
I bet Little Roy was impressed as we were with Jerry Run Theater, a tremendous achievement and huge faith by the Andersons. It reminds me of "build it and they'll come." Lizzy, you've been there before and I bet you told Little Roy he would be.
The theater was at its 180 capacity and Renee had to turn people away. She turned us away by email but thanks to Lizzy we were able to get in. I sent her and Dusty a thank you note. Nancy and I capped off the weekend by staying at the Park in a tiny cabin, eating a great,cheap lunch at the Park restaurant, and going to the Wildife Center near Rock Cave.
We'll see you all at Penny Royal Theatre
Saw you guys at Jerry Run Summer Theater on Sat. 10/10/08. What a great show! I grew up in sight of the theater there with my cousin Dusty and enjoy going back to see shows there as often as we can. My daughter Heather (Jordon) McNemar has performed there several times and the atmosphere Dusty has created there is so refreshing. Jerry Run is a great venue and we hope to see you guys there again next season.
i enjoyed your show in lincoln in may wish yall would consider doing another again thanksfrom local fan
Congratulations Lizzy!! We are not surprised, even a little bit!! We knew you would do it. See you in Fairview in three weeks.
I remember the first time I saw The Lewis Family 47 years ago at Park Center in Charlotte, NC. I became a fan then, and I am so delighted that Roy has decided to continue his career with Lizzy. You sound wonderful together, and carry on the tradition just fine! I look forward to seeing you in the near future up here in NC. Roy, how do I ever thank you and the rest of the family for the laughter and love that you brought to my life? Words can't begin to express.
Hello again, Roy & Lizzy;
The year was of course last year 2008....
Wow, time flyes fast!
Sorry- my mistake.
/Bo
Dear Little Roy and Lizzy Long;
Bluegrass music is my life and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to see you in person 2009.
People like you make this place on earth a better and more fun! God bless you and your music!

We have seen you and your family for years and going to see more of you in the coming years. SEE YOU AT MOSSY OAKS !!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Little Roy,
We have been a fan for a while,,, My wife and I have a bluegrass gospel group here in Elverson, PA. which is near Reading. Our CD "Walk Behind Jesus" is our first project. We have playing a gospel Bluegrass service at Our Church for almost 2 years now. We were in the June issue of "The Lutheran Magazine". My question is , we want to branch out since our church can no longer afford to pay us for our music ministry. Its just too much work every week to prepare a different program, to practice, set up equipment and do that every week. We also would like your opinion as to the quality of our CD. I understand if you get more of these types of messages that you can respond to, but like my mom used to say, you dont know if you dont ask. Our web site is: sweetwaterbluegrassonline.com. I would also like to send you a copy if you would like. Thanks for your time and I'm glad to see the Lord still has a place for you to continue prasing him
Sinderely, Howard & Ramona
Hi cant wait to see you guys real soon ! enjoyed talkn and pickn with little Roy in ellenbourgh NC . Hope to see you guys in Barnerdsville .

Little Roy and Bonnie,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of of loss.
Our prayers and love are sent to Little Roy and Bonnie during the death of Bonnie's father.
Hello Lizzy, Roy and Mr. Scruggs,
I just wanted to pass along how much my wife, daughter and myself enjoyed your show on July 4th in Cashiers, North Carolina. Lizzy, your fiddle playing and singing is outstanding. I just don't know how you put up with Roy - he's a stitch. The last time we saw Mr. Scruggs was in Atlanta back in the mid seventies with Mr. Flatt and he hasn't missed a lick. Thanks for the autographed cd. Our eight year old knows everyword and is now a big bluegrass fan. Hope to see ya'll again soon.
Good luck and God Bless,
Rob
Lizzy,
Enjoyed jammin' with you in Elkins, WV last Wednesday night! There was certainly a bunch of pickers. Take care, may God bless, and see you down the road!
Little Roy
I cannot begin to tell you just how much I enjoy your music. My father was a big fan of yours and the Lewis Family. I didn't truley appreciate the pure joyful music until he passed away and I began to listen to your records.I plan to come and see you and Lizzy in Logan Ohio.Your music brings my father back to me every time I hear it and I thank you for that. Stacy..........
Love the new web site. Glad to see ya'll doing so well. Can't wait to see you; coming to FL anytime soon? Keep the strings hot!
I have know The Lewis Family for 40 years. I am so sorry to see them retire. But I know we all must do things sometimes that we had rather not do. I can hardly wait to see Little Roy and The Lizzy show. I am from Macclesfield N.C. They are going to be in Wilson in Sept. and I am looking forward to it.
Hey Lizzy!
We seen Lizzy for the first time at Racoon Creek this past weekend and loved every minute of it. Of course we have seen the Lewis Family several times at Hoofers gospel barn. But we sure did not know that Lizzy was Little Roy's daughter. She sure does play like him though. I sure know that he taught her well. We look forward to seeing them two together. What is going to happen to the grandson that played with the Lewis family some times at Hoofers?
Debra & Sonny
Auburn, AL
Saw the Lizzy Long Show on July 9, 2009 at Racoon Creek Bluegrass Festival, Little Roy could not be with them, but they were great. I am a cousin to the Rakestraws that own the park, in which Ricky plays in the group with Lizzy. They are wonderful. We espically love "Chicken Feed." Can't wait to see you all again soon.
I've known Little Roy for a little over 25 years.
I met lizzy and fell in love with this young lady,
what such talent. After hearing about the retirement
of the great LEWIS FAMILY that has traveled for 60
years I was heart broke. They say that all things
must come to an end, I don't think that's true. The only thing that would stop Little Roy is to
called home to be with Mom,Pop and Wallace. I feel
there's a few more years left in Little Roy. I
can't wait to see what's instore for this group
of talented musicians.
i have loved the Lewis Family and Little Roy for years. i use to see them in Blountstown, Fl every October at Buddy Smiths program for the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranch. i was sad to hear they are retiring but i am glad Little Roy is continuing to play with Lizzy. i dont know much about Lizzy but i know if she is playing with Little Roy she must be very good. i would love to know where to buy the new album by them.
Little Roy & Lizzy;
Lizzy, I saw you several times a few years ago
when you made a few trips with the Lewis Family.
Looking forward to seeing you & Little Roy together again.
Mike Hoffman
Looking forward seeing you at Milan M.
Nice wed site! Good to see that you're still going at it Little Roy. Lizzy and you make a great duo! I hope the little banjer that I built for you is still going strong. I'm building one for Andreas David of Berlin, Germany. You can check out the building progress of it at www.banjomaker.net. My prayers to The Lewis Family. Hope to see you all again soon!
God Bless!
Marvin
I only got to see the fantastic Lewis Family once at Sam Yoder's in Delaware....it was the greatest show....what incredible talent! Little Roy had us crying with laughter....we truly were amazed at the whole group & hated to hear they were "breaking up." I now will look for Little Roy & Lizzy at a concert nearby....my love & prayers go to the whole Lewis/Easter family...they are so special & a true blessing. Thank you!
Great to find ya'll on the internet! Nanny had me looking to see hwat your date is for the Cashiers ,NC show....she's gonna be disappointed 'cause it's on the 4th!!! She and Lynn have family stuff then...But we will all see you at the Big Ivy date in August!
Our prayers are with ya'll in this new endeavor and of course, Little Roy, you're family is always there!
We are soo!! glad to see that Little Roy has went on the road with you Lizzy. We will miss the Lewis Family but we are sure we will enjoy you all as much. First time we went to BG fest was in Eminence,Mo. several years ago and happened to get in the food line with you, Roy, and I don't need to say anymore. You are dynamite and will make a great show together. Hope to see you in St. Louis,M0. in March 2010. Safe travels and Good Luck. Missed the Homecoming this year but had been to the past several years in Lincolnton--GREAT TIME!!!!
Love ,
the Sanders
Hi Lizzy and Little Roy, I was just reading the calendar and noticed that you are not at the Red Light Cafe in Atlanta. You are usually there around the fall. Will you be appearing there at all? Maybe Charlie and I can catch ya'll in Swan. I still miss my former student Al McCall.
How is he doing? Do you hear from him?
Heading out to Charlotte, MI tomorrow. I'm heartbroken that the family is retiring and won't be there this year. Will try to catch you guys at Milan and Fairview. I know you will be a big hit. I love you all. Please send my thoughts and prayers to the family!
Hate to hear the Lewis Family is giving it up, but so glad to hear about Little Roy and Lizzy. I'm sure that will be a great show. Little Roy, I wish you the best and please take care. Your friend, Johnny
Mary and myself realy enjoy ya'll everytime we get to see ya'll,keep it going!!!!!!
