CD when scripting each show for
the New Age Sampler on 90FM WWSP."

"Listening to Jamie Bonk has been the highlight
of my entire day! My day at work
started out frazzled and rushed. Just by closing my eyes and
listening to Jamie's
music soothed my weary mind, invigorated my soul and peaked
my curiousity to
what he would do next.
I am a visual artist and Jamie has helped to open my ears to
the world of New Age
auditory art at it's finest. Even my 67-year-old mother (who
will tolerate nothing short
of 1800's classical) fell in love with Jamie. Here at the end
of the road at WELY in
Ely, Minnesota we stimulate our listeners with a variety of
music (ranging from new
age, polka, celtic, folk, blues, bluegrass and yes, to rock
and country). We try to
enrich our listeners' ears and minds. The response to Jamie's
new CD has been
nothing short of phenomenal!
For those who just love outstanding music, Jamie Bonk is a definite must! I can't
wait until the release of his next CD. I feel like a kid nearing
Christmas Day again!
Thank you Jamie for your gift to those who love music!"
Alice L. Hill, Assistant Manager
WELY 92.1 FM/1450 AM (Ely)
"I really appreciate the variety of music on Jamie Bonk's
CD. You'll find everything
from up tempo pieces to pieces that make you want to dream.
His music backs up
nicely against pop, world, folk, new age and celtic. As a radio
programmer, an
instrumental CD that works with all of these genres is a rare
bird.
Jamie Bonk delivers!"
Robin Rilette, Music Director
Northwest Public Radio
"I just finished listening to Jamie's CD in it's entirety.
It is a fine one. Being a
percussion freak, the interwoven percussive textures that integrated
into his fine
guitar arrangements were much appreciated by these ears. Both
very enjoyable
and interesting to listen to. You can count on airplay on "Sounds
Eclectic"
beginning tomorrow morning. It's a pleasure to have Jamie
Bonk in the
KUMR library."
Jim Sigler - Program Director & Producer/Host of Sounds
Eclectic & Special Blend
KUMR-FM 88.5 (Rolla)

relax, turn up the volume
and enjoy.' Jamie's sound is perfect for our Sunday morning
easy listening format."
Jon Matthews, Music Director
CJFX 580 (Antigonish)
"This upcoming artist captures the essence of guitar and
takes it to the next level

programming, but Jamie's CD
has such a bright, positive sound that it deserves, and is getting,
plenty of airplay."
Keith Leask, Operations Manager
CHRB 1140 (High River)
"This young man has the talent to take us into the new
millenium!
Jamie is taking jazz to another level with the first track,
" If You Only Knew" - it's
soothing but fresh. My favorite cut is "Unspoken".
Well, the title of that particular
track says it all - no need to speak about it, just listen to
it. It's clear and bright
and the verses are laid back and on track. Check out the entire
disc. You will
love it all. Excellent for jazz formats and albums cuts!"
LLJuna Grennell-Weir, Program Director/Operations Manager
WPRL-FM 91.7 (Lorman)

""Violet Skies" and "Indigo Muse" are
standout tracks on an otherwise excellent
release. Jamie Bonk has had a great response on my show.
