Hey Yves, do you remember that guy with the long hair that went up to you, and bought one of your CD's on Saturday? Yup, it's me. I want to let you know that I absolutely LOVED your Eventide CD. My whole family really found it amazing. I'll try to learn the scales you showed me as soon as possible. Your music is very inspiring, I hope to hear more music from you. I'll be sure to buy more soon.

Hope to hear from you soon.  - Roy Ramos

My special hello to you both

You must be in my circle of caring.  We just arrived home from Houston Texas yesterday.  I cannot tell you the number of times I continue to play your music (Amen!!!)   I constantly reminisce back to when we saw you in Palm Springs.  There was that special connection with you both then.   Dan and I both continue each day to relax to your CD’s.  Are you still down in Palm Springs?  I would love to meet up with you again some time soon.  Where are you performing lately? You are the BEST in our world and for many others out there.  Again, just a reminder you are in our thoughts after a year in Palm Springs.  Keep up the good work.  Please, sometime play my special request (How Great Thou Art).  That’s for me.   Any new CD’s coming out?

Friends Forever

Donna & Dan Elms in Calgary, Canada

I must say...your music is aabsolutely exquisite; pure beauty to the soul.  Not sure which on I love best, but I know the more I listen to each one - that one will become my new favorite.  I've listened to "Back To Eden" 3 times now. I thank you again, Yves, for sending me "My Beloved's Garden" ... Blessings, Judy.

Hello,
 
My husband & I arranged a getaway to Palm Springs for several days around New Year's Eve.  We heard about the VillageFest street fair & were surprised that it was happening on January 1, 2009 at 6pm. It was a very chilly evening as we strolled the fair.  We suddenly were aware of this beautiful music coming from one of the booths up ahead.  The first sounds we were aware of drew us to the booth.  There, my husband met a charming gentleman, the maker of this compelling, gentle music.  CD's were flying out of the booth as others lined up to peruse & purchase the smooth jazz sounds of Yves Vincent and his guitar. 
 
We returned home the next day & immediately began to listen to the two CDs we had purchased.  This dreamy music had us enthralled.  My husband quickly got on the internet & visited the website.  Hearing more of this magical music on the site, he called & ordered different CDs than he had purchased originally.
 
We are smooth jazz fans and we feel that we have found the most beautiful music to enjoy in our home & vehicles.  The familiar tunes that we heard had very original arrangements that are pleasing to the ear.  The other, unfamiliar tunes were a welcome discovery.
 
We are so glad we discovered Yves Vincent's music on that very cold winter night at the VillageFest in Palm Springs.  The frozen hands & noses were forgotten as we listened to the warm sounds of his guitar.  Lovely, just lovely.  What a great way to start the new year!
 
Thank you, Mr. Vincent.  We'll be watching for more of your original music. Gary & Donna

Dear Yves:

Just thought I would mention that I "found" your music last week at an unusual place.  Not the typical music or variety store, but at my barber's in Menlo Park.  I was sitting in the barber chair listening to this wonderful guitar and when I heard "How Great Thou Art " playing, I knew I just had to have that album.  So my barber, Moses (that's his real name) goes in the back, gets your Amen! CD cover and gives me your website address.  I went home and ordered 5 CDs.  Two days later, it's here!!! I have my own music and I love ALL the albums.  Many thanks and Happy Holidays. -Owen-

While at the Tall Ships Festival in San Diego 2008, I heard the most beautiful music and gravitated to its source. There, I met Yves and was mesmerized. I bought Eventide and took it back to my sailboat and listened to that CD over and over and over the whole afternoon. I went back the next day to buy 4 more CD's! What a talent and Yves has added so much joy to my life! Thank you, thank you! Jean Swink

My job is to make sure planes arrive and leave safely on a US Navy Carrier. It's a high-stress job and at the end of the day when I go down to my quarters, I put your music on. In minutes, all the stress accumulated seems to vanish completely out of my body and I can relax. Thank you! Keep playing the good stuff.
--Commander Ron Tulimann, U.S. Navy

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar are part of a great classical legacy from India. I share the privilege of being a part of their family and a music critic/writer in my own right. Yves, you manifest a rare sweetness and detail in your music. It is a joy to hear Eventide and LoveScapes. Thanks for the music.

Mr. Vincent, I picked up your CD The Blue Zone at the in Palm Springs a few weeks back. This is a fabulous compilation of great music! As a guitarist myself I am blown away by your tone and arrangements. In a word it's inspirational. Thanks so much! Mark Webber

Dear Yves,
We just wanted to let you know that our CD has arrived. I had been waiting with anticipation for its arrival, as I knew it would be wonderful. We do so appreciate your brotherhood and will think of you every time the music permeates throughout our apartment. Thank you once again, we absolutely love it.
--God Bless, G. & P. Bond, Australia

Hi! I was honeymooning in La Jolla during the week preceding Memorial Day this year. I met Yves Vincent and fell in love with his music. I bought his LoveScapes CD and my husband and I enjoyed it during our drives around LaJolla. On our return home, much to my dismay, I found that I had left the CD in the rental car. I wondered what I could do in order to have this CD replaced. I don't know if you take credit cards or what, so I would appreciate you contacting me on this. I would also like to purchase the other CD that he featured at the mall where he was performing. Thanks so much for your help. I will wait anxiously to hear back from you!
--D. Dustin, Utah State University, Smithfield, Utah 

You play such lovely music! I would love to invite you to play for my family.

 Yves, ce sont de tres belles musique d'ambiances. C'est un CD qui vous donne l'envie de rever, c'est magique. Je conseille а tous ceux qui l'on achete de l'ecouter pres de la plage, ou dehors allonge sur l'herbe. I like your CD. C'est un tres bon CD de detente. Alors au lieu de se distresser avec une cigarette, essayer plutot d'ecouter ca.

(English Translation) Yves, these are real beautiful mood elevating music. It's a CD that makes you dream...it's magic. Best to listen on the beach or outside, lying on the grass. I like your CD. It's really good for relaxing. Instead of trying to relieve stress smoking a cigarette, try to listen to Yves' music. It really works.L. Philip - Ussel, France

Dear Mr. Vincent,
I received "The Blue Zone" cd and I'm just "chilling" now.  Thank you so much for your kindness.  I will share this wonderful music with my students.  Eva Wortherly

I can't believe it...I guess that means we'll be seeing you at the Harvest next week...just wanted to say hello.....Almost thanksgiving huh? Have a great one!!!!!!!!!!   Your friend, Barbara

Hi Yves,  we recently purchased and connected an awesome speaker system for our backyard.... which of course led to us putting some Eventide......which in turn led us to thinking about you.  Let us know what you have been up to and what is keeping you busy.  Jeff, Patty, Roman and Eric!

Yves, thanks for your prompt reply.  Your music is the best!   We've talked to you in San Diego at Seaport Village & in Las Vegas. Keep your magnificent music coming. Carol & Lloyd Ewell...Las Vegas, NV

Dear Yves,

We’ve bought both CDs and go to sleep to them every night. Great way to end the day! Greg and Sam – San Diego, CA

I was fortunate enough to meet you in San Diego when I was there for a
conference. Upon listening to you for about 10 minutes, I decided to purchase your CD "Eventide" so that I could use it when I teach Pilates. I love it!!! More importantly -- the students love it! I cannot wait to purchase your newest CD. Please let me know when it will be released.

Thanks. J. Seward - Indianapolis, IN

Dear Yves:
John and I want to thank you once again for the awesome job you did for us on Saturday afternoon. Many made comments on the beautiful music, and John and I feel you were just the perfect cherry on the cake! We are sooooo happy that we found you in time for our party.  We will keep your information for future reference, and will be happy to share that info with anyone looking for a terrific musician. I've been playing your CD all morning while working in my studio. It's perfect music to work to as well as to party to.  J & S Lauer - La Mesa California

 J. Agard – Jones/ - New Jersey, NY
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting you and being able to enjoy your beautiful music, Yves. It was not until yesterday that I had the opportunity of listening to your great CDs and I was immediately transported back to San Diego. What a glorious feeling! Now I will always be able to conjure up the delicious memories of a spectacular Fourth of July evening with lovely new
acquaintances and lovely music. Does it get any better?

 K. Dubec – Falls Church, VA
Yves
It is Friday eve about 6:00 p.m. - HAD to write you. NOW - couldn't wait. Got the CD's…thank you so much for signing them-what a delight! I am hard pressed to decide which one I like better - LoveScapes or Eventide...both fantastic. I received them right before I went to lunch today. Timing couldn't be more perfect. My lover and I had a picnic outside (beautiful day here) and listened to LoveScapes. I gave him one of the copies of Eventide--he was going on a long drive out of town and listened to it on the trip. He is now a fan, also. We decided it is now "our music" if you know what I mean (blush). Your music speaks to me, Yves. It also says a lot about the person you are - your emotions, your attitudes, etc.

P. Norwood – Dallas, TX
Yves,
Thank you for The Christmas Guitar Symphony. This was a special Christmas for me…one filled with many memories and missing family no longer here. . Knowing that this CD was from your heart and filled with your family memories growing up, made it just that much more special as it played here throughout Christmas. God Bless and looking forward to LoveScapes.

Thank you, L. Hawkins - Chicago, IL
Dear Yves,
A few months ago I visited your beautiful city and I had the pleasure of meeting you. You were playing some of your songs. They were absolutely beautiful! I immediately purchased your CD "LoveScapes." I have played this CD countless times. A dear friend of mine now has it and I am in dire need of another copy. Please let me know how I can purchase another copy.

 Jim & Nanci S – San Diego, CA
"Calming and upbeat. Thanks for your talent."

C. Walton - Peoria, AZ
Good Morning - I have been listening to your CD "LoveScapes" for several days. A friend of mine obtained it while in AZ. I would like to know if you have any additional CD's I may order.

JoAnne W. – Bronx, NY
It’s very refreshing to listen to, Yves.

 Tim, Unmi & Sabrina H. – San Diego, CA
This CD is an enjoyable delight. The music is soothing and relaxing. It’s the most played in our household!

B. Classon - San Diego/CA
Dear Yves Vincent:
I bought your Eventide CD last Saturday and I just had to let you know that the music has brought me many pleasant listening times. Your arrangements are just great as are the selections. When I was stopped at a traffic light, the car next to me remarked what beautiful music I was playing. I had to tell you that as compliments are too far and few in between.

By the way, the new CD is also great. I purchased "LoveScapes" along with your Christmas CD at Bernardo Winery last month. If you ever do a religious album in your terrific style, I would appreciate if you would let me know where I could purchase the album. In fact it would be great to be on your mailing list for new released albums.

Keep those wonderful CD's coming. Let me know when your web site is open, thanks. Again thanks for making my life a little more enjoyable.  An admirer of good music.

M. Lesley - San Diego, CA
Yves
Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time my wife and I had listening to you play, and talking to you this evening at the 4 Cats restaurant. I wanted to personally thank you for making our dinner that much better with your music and the time you took to talk and visit with us. I really enjoy listening to your CD, but watching you live is much better. You can hear the music and see it at the same time. I can really see the passion you have for your music, it really showed while you were playing.

I look forward to seeing you perform again, please keep me up to date on where and when you will be performing. I am also glad that you are going to do another CD, keep me posted on that if you wouldn't mind.
Thanks again Yves and take care. 

J.Vincent - Huntington Beach, CA
Yves,
This is beautiful! Awesome! No wonder people are buying it like crazy. With the new player I have, there’s a video mode that I use and it’s settled with different colors and stuff. Peaceful music Yves. When everything is quiet and the room is dark, it just follows the music pattern and it makes it even more peaceful.

I was listening to your music while playing a game on the computer and I had to stop and sign on the Internet to tell you how it made me feel. You are playing "Amazing Grace." It is so peaceful. I just love it Yves. Well, I'll stop here and may God Bless you and your music cause God is a lover of Music. When God takes you away from this earth, may He take you into his Heaven so you can play your music just for Him for eternity! Bravo mon frere!

M. Wright - San Diego, CA
What you do is like wine. It gets better and better all the time.

P. O'Neill - Escondido, CA  Hi Yves, Thanks so much your CD Eventide It is a work of art, really nice.  Regards.

Yves,
Got your CD, and we love it! I'm giving out your e-mail address to those who are interested. I play it in the office and have gotten favorable comments and interest. Frank and I would like your other CD as well. Assume it's the same style music. Thanks...

Hello Yves!  I love your music, I have listened to you at UTC alot, and I picked up your CD today! Regards...

Bahman S. - San Diego, CA

Dear Yves,
I am a commercial fisherman and am trying to get back into playing music but up to now did not have the movement in the hands to do it. My wife and I really liked your CD "Eventide" and someday I hope to play like you. I can hear the music inside but can’t get it on the guitar neck yet. Maybe it will come in time with alot of practice. Someday we will return to San Diego and hope to see you again. I will keep a look out for another one of your CD’s as we really enjoyed your music.

Take Care, Good Luck. L. Laferriere – California

Yves,
We have spent many hours enjoying your music. In fact, a friend borrowed my first CD of Eventide and I haven’t seen it since. Sharon – Iowa

Yves,
Today a friend of mine introduced me to your music by playing your CD titled "Eventide". What a find!! It's fabulous, and I immediately fell in love with it. So much so, that I'd like to purchase several copies. I know other people that will love it, too. I'm also interested in whether you have any other CD's of your music available for sale. Have a great day. K. Dubec – Falls Church, VA
