Hello Jason,
Your cousin, Kim, is in one of my husband's classes at Grove City College. I met her today and she told me about you. I am a singer and voice teacher here and in St. Louis having left the academic world of voice teaching 10 years ago.

I see that you study with P at IU now. I have one of his former students, Aaron Magill, who has grown into quite a singer. Also Kim mentioned that you were at BG for a time, which is probably where you first met P. You probably worked with Gene Dybdahl too. He was once my opera director in college at Ohio University about 100 yrs ago!

I have avoided some the opera endeavors in the Valley but have had some students work with OWR and LO over there.

I hope to hear you and meet you some time.

Saw your performance as Don Pasquale last evening at the Pierce Opera House in Sharpsville, PA....magical! I appreciated all the work that went in to this production--we, in the shenango valley are proud to think of you as a 'local' talent. What a blessing to have such a beautigul gift of your voice--best wishes for a happy professional life! You bring such joy to your audiences. Bravo!!

HI JASON,

I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE
ENJOYED THE DRESS REHEARSAL LAST NIGHT.
I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. I AM GLAD WE
RAN INTO YOU AT THE BOWLING ALLEY, OR
WE WOULD HAVE MISSED THE SHOW. JASON
AND KORINE (THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAME
WITH US) COULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
YOU KEPT THEIR ATTENTION FOR THE ENTIRE
SHOW. OPERA HAS TWO NEW YOUNG FANS!!
BRAVO FOR A GREAT OPERA.

HI JASON,

I REALLY ENJOYED THE DRESS REHERSAL
LAST NIGHT. IT WAS MORE THAN I EXPECTED.
I AM SO GLAD WE RAN INTO YOU AT THE BOWLING ALLEY LAST SAT. THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT CAME WITH US WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND YOU KEPT THEIR
ATTENTION THRU OUT THE ENTIRE OPERA.
THEY CAME AWAY WITH A GREAT APPRECIATION
OF YOUR ART. THEY TALKED ABOUT IT ALL
THE WAY HOME. EVERYONE INVOLVED DID
A FANTASTIC JOB. IT WAS A GREAT EVENING.

Hey Jason! Great website, Ah, so many memories. I am sure that your mother has told you that I called her and I am looking forward to seeing you both some day, so good to see that you are doing so well and keeping busy, that does not surprise me in the least with a voice like yours! You look great, and so does your mom. Your mom told me about your web site and I am looking forward to seeing you perform some day. Do you ever come down to Naples Fl? Well if you ever do you have an open invitation here.

Courtenay Budd (Caramico)

April 1, 2008

Hey Jason. I met you years ago (MacAllisters maybe?) and just found you on CDBaby trying to see how easy it is to find my CD by searching for Budd. We should have gotten hitched - I wouldn't have had to change my last name (Caramico is a leap). Enjoyed your site, especially the bit about your mom's facial expression regarding your career choice. I'll buy your cd and look forward to it. All the best to you! - Courtenay

Robert "Bob" Murphy

February 21, 2008

Congratulations on your success. Your CD is great. I new you had talent along time ago when you were at YSU. Do you still bowl? I remember the 300 game way back in high school. Best wishes for continued success. Bob

Jason, Beautiful website. Wanted to drop a line to let you know that I didn't hear more than 2 bars of the Cd when the player in my car ate it. When I got it out, it was no longer playable. Scratched up terribly. I will get around to buying another CD in the future here. Hope all is going well for you with your career.

Eddie and Cathy Jarrell

December 30, 2007

Jason, don't know if you remember us , but we are very good friends of Todd and Shirley Jaffe. Well, they gave us your CD of Christmas Music a week ago and I am listening to it as I write this email. It is beautiful. Being Catholic, these are our favorite songs and it just uplifts us more than we can say. Eddie has had a tough year with prostate cancer, so we needed a wonderful diversion and this just touched our hearts. How PROUD your parents and close friends have to be of you. We certainly join in great praise for you and your God-given voice. I can still remember you in Fiddler on the Roof in Titusville with Todd. You were terrific in that role. Once, again,Blessed Christmas and we look forward to your CD of religious songs. God has blessed you and we are happy for you. Sincerely, Eddie and Cathy

Jason,
I just read the article about you in one of the Hubbard newspapers.
How wonderful your accomplishments have been. I am very happy for you. Although the road to one dream was a dead end, you found another one and your dream is only begining.

I see your mom from time to time at various Hubbard, ohio functions. She is always such a nice person.

Take care and keep dreaming.

Friends just wrote to say that they had seen you steal the show as Bartolo last night in Cleveland. Bravo, bravissimo Signor Bartolo. They know we are great operaphiles. And they insist that you are from Hubbard, and that as a transplanted Hubbardite now living in Chicago, I would know your family there. When you come this way, contact us! Tom & Paula
