Hi Bill Years ago I bought There were signs having never heard your music but thiking if people like Rob Mounsey were involved it would be cool. What a understatement-it was one of those records that you just played and played. Thanks for the great music and looking forward to the new record when it's ready.

Hey, Bill:
I'm just starting to hear the second CD you brought to me yesterday, named There were signs and I'm really impressed with your talent, the marvillous way in which you make a very gooe fussion of jazz, country, latin american music and a bit of etnic african too. Congratulations for your work. It's brilliant. Now youare in the second place of my favorite american artists after Dave Matthews Band. I just want to tell you tha tif you allowed me I'll play your musci in my nice terrace. Take care and see you soon.
Rafa.

Hi Bill,
Thought of you this week, I was in London for a couple of days and I found the CD from Kenia "Rio/New York" onwhich you wrote the title song with another of my all time favourite hero Tonhino Horta… Beautifull song it aged very well considering it's over 20 years old… Did you have the time to listen to the CD we sent you? any feedback? anyway drop us a lionbe when you can, that would make us happy… Jack and Laurent

04nov27As a musician, composer, sound designer --most active as such in
80's, early 90's-- came across your music listening to KTWV (the WAVE) in LA. I
had a direct line into the studio and sometimes in the early A.M. I'd call in to
Amy Hyatt and chat...or ask "...what in the world was THAT..". One such call was
about "Cape Horn". Your music is in many ways like my own -- very emotional.
Thanks for putting up the .mp3's. I'll look for the album on Amazon/Ebay.Looks
like you're touring in South America. Much happiness, success and safe
trip!--DSPS:Barest beginnings at (finally!) putting up much of my
varied-spectrum professional experience on my website ...some of the music
referred to above, to come.

Dear Bill,We just returned from a visit to Argentina. The highlight for us
was hearing you perform in Burruyacu! We were mesmerized (except for the gabacho
calling for sing-alongs. How would you sing along to "The Three Levels of
Nigeria" anyway?!!) We always look forward to more Bill Gable.C.

Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow....I too thought that ma and my family were the only
ones who loved you!!! My Dad discovered you on the radio years ago and we have
had you in the family ever since. You are a staple of my childhood. Every time I
listen to "there were signs" I am whisked back to days when my dad drove us
around in the Honda with the windows down and you echoing through the speakers.
We are true fans of you and would love to see youon tour!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for
many fond memories and for adding to the memories of my past.

What an honor to sign the G-U-E-S-T-B-O-O-K right after JIMMY HASLIP! WOW! I was so
pleased to find this website. I bought "There Were Signs" when it was released
and always enjoyed listing to it tremendously. I became aware of it due to the
fact that Rob Mounsey produced it, whom I loved with the Flying Monkey Orchestra
and his works with Michael Franks and Steely Dan. I look forward to hearing more
great music from you, Bill. Remember, you biggest fan outside the US is from
Berlin/Germany!

Mr Gable, I am glad to find this site...Like others here, I thought I was
alone in loving your music. When I went through a bad relationship awhile ago a
friend turned me onto Intimate Strangers and Leaving Venice to the Rain. I Have
a copy of There Were Signs and now that I know that there are other CDs out
there my X-mass list just got longer. Recently feelings for that relationship
have reared there ugly head and I find myself yearning for Intimate Strangers. I
hope that it will be on one of your new Cds. If not please advise me where to
get a copy of you performing this wonderful song. Thanks for the songs that help
put things in perspective. Phil La Jeunesse

I was in high school when I found THERE WERE SIGNS at a dollar store. I'm 30
now, and I wake up to this CD every day. I listen to it all morning - sometimes
twice. I went online today to see if I could email Bill to thank this brilliant
artist for making music for us and express my disgust that he is so undervalued.
Imagine my surprise when I found fans! I assumed no one had heard of him. What
else was I to think about a guy whose CD sold for a few dollars so long ago?
Anyone considering a purchase should take the plunge. THERE WERE SIGNS is
amazing. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow knowing so many other people can have
as wonderful and peaceful a morning as I do.

Mr. Gable... Was diverted here via your friend Robert Lamm. I'm an old
believer in birds of a feather, and as his musical sugestions have not failed me
as of yet, I'll begin my search for your works today. If anyone out there can
give me a few pointers or suggestions on where I can find these seemingly hard
to find items, it would be appreciated. cheers! dennis

Hi Bill, found your name on a German eBay auction for the "There where signs"
CD and got very excited about the songs I listened to on your site (without any
interruptions even with my slow net connection !). How could I have missed such

win the auction !). Best regards from Germany, Martin.

Hey Bill, I was just thinking...Lee Ritenour was at his best when he had
singers vs. only instrumental. Your cool guitar and his? I could envision some
interesting music being made between the two of you...just a thought. (Actually,
I'd like to hear a good album from him again and thought you could do it!) BTW,
could you type in some messages to us from time to time? Take care!!

Seems like only yesterday that I was in a music store in Houston... Some
seriously nice music was playing. After about two seconds, I asked who it
was..."Bill Gable" was the answer... The album "There Were Signs" is one of the
most beautiful , I have ever heard in my life ... Can't wait to hear the
others... Like Autumn at the beach, I can't understand why, no one else was
there... So these people who have written you must also be special... They hear
the magic...
