Vinnie,
I hope this message finds you well
and getting ready for a joyous Christmas Holiday. I was wondering
if your music was eve going to go to something like iTunes or
Rhapsody. It's so hard to find your music. I would love to be
able to download the entire Airport Love Theme Album. Have you
ever given thought to that?

Dear Mr. Bell
About 5 years ago, I happened to
listen your tune "Lover"
(as far as my memory is correct) on the radio.
This tune was very beautiful and dreamy guitar instrumental.
I tried for long time to find this tune but I could not.
That feeling is still in my heart but I could not get it
back that clear feeling
How can I listen that "Lover" again?
My name is Aki from Japan
Please let me listen again.
Thank you for your cooperation
Best Regards
Aki Tanaka

Hi Vinnie,
Just spent most of an afternoon
looking through your site and loved every minute of it...like
others I was aware of you but had no idea how much of your output
I had been exposed to, or how long ( both recordings and instruments).
The joy and humor that comes through
in your site and especially in your playing is palpable, and your
non-judgmental attitude about the kinds of music you take on is
something younger players would do well to emulate.
Best wishes and thanks

you gave me in your basement studio back in Fords, NJ. I used

pounds of books in my bike's basket, my De'Angelico in one hand
and the bike's handlebar in the other and pray on snowy days that
I wouldn't freeze to death! That was a mutual dedication that

What can I can say? Your music has never ceased to touch me. I
am talking mainly about your solo releases.Your vibrato, tone,
and sweeping lead lines have been an inspiration.
I discovered your music when I was 16 and I own all but "
pop goes the electric sitar" I am 27 now and I write and
record my own music.
When I record I have a few cd's or Lp's I use as a reference for
the sounds I want to get. Your LP " Good morning starshine"
Is one of them.
