"We at Informed Rider would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those that were able to make the "Because Bikers Care Run".

Due to your participation and generosity, we will be able to purchase over $1000.00 worth of food to help replenish the shelves of the Leesburg Food Bank. Please stay tuned to this site for pictures and details of the run. With the success of this run, you have truly proven that we do this "Because Bikers Care". We could not have asked for a better day. The weather was perfect. The MISSTAKEN band rocked the house. If you closed your eyes you would have truly believed that Stevie Nix or Janice Joplin were there as Linda and the band sang and played.

So from the bottom of our hearts, Thanks to all who participated and donated so that those less fortunate do not have to go to bed hungry."

"One of Central Florida's more popular bands, Misstaken Band, plays rock and roll and plays it right. They play many local clubs and will even do benefits and private parties. If you ever see a marquee with their name on it and you fail to stop in and hear them play you will be so ashamed of yourself when you hear all your friends talk about the great band they heard last night when they stopped in to see Misstaken play.
to visit their website go to www.misstakenband.com
You'll be glad you did."

"Your daughter Linda, was incredible! Great singer - gave me chill bumps too."

~Bonnie / Levy County Horse Club

"Thank you Ruth, I enjoyed every minute of our BCA event!! Your daughter Linda was awesome, I think she sang Blue Corn Moon (Colors of the Wind) much better than the original artist... blew me away. She should call The County Girl and sign up for the 4 freedoms fest in Madison Florida. It's in the spring. The link to the station is on our site www.levycountyhorseclub.org We did great for our cause!! Wahooooooooooooooooooooo"

~Bennie / Levy County Horse Club

"The couple that camped next to us were from Davie, loved the trails, can’t wait to come back and ride up here again, and, of course, raved about another of your songs, and for the life of me, can’t remember which one, but all they could say was “Man, she really nailed that one!!!”  Think he said he got goosebumps from that song…   I had so many thank you-s and compliments, they are hoping you can come again next year, too… already!  ...So, once again, thank you so very much for your very special part of our over $4,000-dollar fund raising event, best-ever our little club of 28 family members, now, ever did.    Bonnie that rode “Tonka” with me, ...she also mentioned several times how great it was for you to come and sing for us all again, too! 

THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, again, coming with your truck-full-of music stuff."

~Ruth Brace (Linda's mother) / Levy County Horse Club

"Thank you, Linda! I will tell them you are putting the Levy County Horse Club Breast Cancer Awareness ride into your schedule. They all loved listening to you."

"Yes add us to your mailing list. I see you play all around the state perhaps we can see you again.

I really appreciated the way your band played . The balance of the
instruments was perfect, no 'volume wars' . Your voice was out front
where it belonged , but all the other parts were easily heard.
I notice this kind of stuff because I was a music major in college and
still play for fun myself. I remember we had two guitars in my band,
and they were constantly turning it up trying to outdo the other. It's
not often I see a band that plays covers so well. Great job!"
We enjoyed your music.

"We've seen Misstaken at Uncle Tom's, Good Times, Redhouse and Jalopy Joe's. Everywhere you play you rock the house from first note until the last. Your show is outstanding. Bob on bass and Jason on drums are a strong foundation for Mike's magic guitar and Linda's beautiful voice. All the covers are good but your original songs are great. Glad we heard and met the band before you make the big time."

~Thanks for all the good times. Bill and Theresa.

"Hi, just wanted to say what a blast it was jamming with Jason at Baseline last Sunday. It was also nice meeting Linda. And it's always a pleasure jamming with Mike!!!! You guys rock!!!

Later,

Thank you So very much"

"I had to come over and tell you that you guys are Awesome!  No, I mean it...you sound great! We have gone around and seen many bands (which will not be mentioned out of respect) and 
you are at the top.  You guys have the whole package... the singing-you can sing anything male or female and it sounds great, the music-you sound tight, you put on a show...and you are the best band we have heard (from here to Orlando). We will be checking your website to see where you are so that we can come out to hear you.  Do 
you have a cd?  When you get it finished, we will buy one!"

"I was told that I had to get out and hear your band and that you guys were so good. I couldn't believe how good you guys sound and the show you put on is unlike any I have ever seen. We will be back. Let me know where you are playing and we'll be here! You guys really are great!"

~annonymous customer
  Dizzy's

"You guys are so GREAT!  Thank you for playing at our wedding.  Everybody loved you 
and you made everything turn out so perfect!! It was the most perfect day.  I told everyone that they needed to come out to Dizzy's with us to continue our celebration 
and if they thought you were good at the wedding, they should hear you with all your stuff and see the show you put on when you are out doing a gig.  I will be coming out after the wedding with a bunch of people and we're gonna have fun!!  Thanks again so much!  I love you all!"

~Mary and Dan

"You guys are just great! Once again you did a fantastic job. We don't even bother with any other bands now.  You are one of two exclusive bands that we have in here and we will only book you and the other band.  You bring in the crowd, you work the crowd, they love you and they stay here all night listening, watching, drinking and having a good time."

He wants me to send him your web page now and he's going to get his friends involved.  Where are you playing next?"  "The decorated storage trunk looked cool on the stage, it added a neat image."  "I could tell you tried hard, you should be proud of your efforts, it showed."

~Mikki

I never heard you sing, but I checked out your website and I was blown away. You seriously need to send a cd to some recording companys. Damn You got a voice..... Take Care. :-)

~Brad

Holy Cow Your original song was great!  Can't wait to hear more! I want a cd when you have them ready!

You guys ROCKED Uncle Tom's again! Everyone had a great time and we look forward to the next time. Thanks for the nice comments Linda!
One of your biggest fans!

Hey Guys & Linda! Thank you so much for playing the Koester Benefit this weekend. You ROCKED the house at Uncle Tom's! We raised a lot of money and we got a sneak peak of what's to come on March 5th. Jason seems to fit right in and everyone sounded GREAT! Looking forward to seeing you again! 

~Patty

Hey Gang this is Mary, Dan and Peaches. I am so glad you all are back up and running 
and I can't wait to hear how great you all sound. I know for a fact that you ALL play very well including the new drummer he is awesome to begin with and a great asset to the band. We will be there to hear you all in March. WE CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE DRUMMER WE SENT TO YOU ALL IN THE BAND.

~Love ya all
Mary, Dan and Peaches

conversation at the Silver Moon from a die-hard fan:
Linda: "What happened to your face?"
Silver Moon Customer: "Oh, I just had jaw surgery"
Linda: "Well, then why aren't you at home resting?"
Silver Moon Customer: "I heard that the Misstaken Band was going to be here and I had to come out to see you cause you guys are awesome!! We've waited a long time for you to come back and play here and I wouldn't have missed it!"

~annonymous, Silver Moon customer

"Man, I tell everyone what a good singer you are and how you gave Gene goose bumps when you were singing karaoke.  I never thought you would be that good with the band, but you are awesome! You guys put on a great show and You sound so good!"

~Ingrid

"Man, you are the best band we've ever had in here! You sound so good!"

~annonymous, Dizzy's customer

"Most bands forget they are entertainers and they just stand around and hardly move... they just stand there and sing or play and think that's entertaining.

Your band entertains and I love the props you use to put on an entertaining show.  You guys are good and I really enjoyed it."

~annonymous, Mr. Pub customer

"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your music.  You play a lot of songs that we want to hear and other bands don't do, and you have a beautiful voice" 

~anonymous, Mr. Pub customer

"You guys are very entertaining and you've got a great voice... where are you out of and when will you be back here?  I would like to come and hear you again.

~annonymous, Mr. Pub customer

"Linda sings like a Mocking bird and Michael can really make the guitar sing."  

~Ernie

{Ernie drove all the way from Umatilla to come out to Belleview to hear us and he said...} "I told you that I really liked you guys and I'm going to follow you wherever you go... as long as I can make it out to hear you."

<speaking to Linda> "You've got a lot of energy and a beautiful voice.  I usually follow (another band we won't mention) around, but you play the songs I like to hear.  I will be following your band now! You guys sound great!"

~annonymous, Mr. Pub customer

"I can't believe the range you have with your voice!  You can do guy songs and it sounds great...almost like the original - only better; and you can do all the girl songs that we want to hear. You don't hear any girls doing the kind of songs you do.  I heard a bunch of people saying 'there's no way she's going to do this song good' when you did an old southern rock song... and you nailed it!  They were all like, 'she's good, she's real good' when you finished.  It's so great to see a girl singer in a rock band that can blow away 
all of the guy bands!  You go girl!"

~anonymous, Uncle Tom's customer

<speaking to Michael, Misstaken's lead guitarist> "She's got a hell of a voice" and he 
also stated that the band is pretty good.

~Bobby

"Hey guys! Patty from Uncle Tom's here! You were awesome this weekend! The show you put on definately made an impression in Umatilla! Love the web site too! Hope to see 
you again soon & thanks again!"

~Patty

"I was the first one to bring them {Uncle Tom's} your business card!  I told them they had to get your band in here cause you are GREAT!  Then, after I gave them your card, about 4 or 5 other people came in and gave them your card too, and they finally said 'ok, ok, I'll get them booked in here,' but I was the first to bring it to them! 

You sounded great and you guys put on a real good show... I'm sure they will have you back again soon.  See, I told them they had to have you in here!  Everybody loved you!"

~Melody

"I did not know you guys were that good.  I really enjoyed watching the video of your band playing. I love your music! I keep playing the video over and over... I show it to everyone."

~Mary (in Chicago, Illinois)

{speaking to Michael, Misstaken's lead guitarist} 
"You guys are really good. Your wife sings real good and you can really play that guitar.  
I don't know who's better, you or your wife. 

I will be bringing my wife next time so she can hear you. I will come out to hear you every time you play here."

~Ernie

"Man, you're the best band they (Uncle Tom's) have ever had in here.  Hope they have
you back soon.  Your band is awesome!"

~anonymous, Uncle Tom's customer

"We had about 10 of your business cards in here that customers came in and brought to us.  After so many cards, we finally said "alright, enough already, we'll book them!" 

You guys are really good!  We want to book you again soon. Everyone had a really good time.
Thank you!"

~Management, Uncle Tom's

"I love to listen to you all play. The band really rocks and you guys make it a good time. Cant wait to hear you again soon. Looking forward to the new songs your working on.

 Love you all"

~Mary, Aimee, Peaches and Kenny

"You guys were really good and the crowd seems to love you.  You kept them here til closing time...  We're going to pay you more!  You're one of the best bands we have had in here. Thanks!"

~Management Coyotes

"Your band rocks!! There's no "Misstaken" about that. I especially like your lead guitarist Mike and his soon to be wife Linda. Those two make an awesome duo!! Looking forward to seeing more of you guys!!"

~Margie

"You guys all have a lot of talent. Heard you at the Shamrock and Coyotes. Sounds great!"

~David and CAT

"Hey ya'll, I saw you at the Shamrock. Ya'll sounded real good. I especially liked that guitar player. I bet you if you turn loose of the bridle on that boy he could take you to a higher level. Well I'll see ya'll real soon."

"Man, you guys ROCK!!  You're the best band they (Shamrock Lounge) have ever had in here.  Hope they have you here more often.  Your band is awesome!"

~15 Shamrock Lounge customers we've never met before

"I was talking about the Misstaken website.  I wanted to show {someone} how nice it was."

~Mary (in Chicago, Illinois)

"You guys kick ass.  I think you got a really good thing going here. You got awesome vocals, a solid drummer to be the backbone, a good bass man to hold it all together and one hell of a lead guitarist."

WELCOME to our 
Rants & Raves
section!!  
Where you get to Speak Your Mind... 
This is where you can tell us anything you want to share...
Something you love, pet peeves, if you're our biggest fan, etc. whoo hooo.

But please keep it clean or we will have to *@$%$^# (bleep) your words, remember kids visit us  :-)

Ok, I'll start, ha ha...here's from my sappy side...
RAVE:
You guys... I just love you all because I have never seen such loyal and faithful followers...
You love music and you love Your Misstaken band!! We love you and very much appreciate
your time, your comments, your friendship and all of the love you share with us. I only hope
that we are giving you back all that you give to us and more!!!     ~Linda
.

Here's another one...here's from my "evil" side...hee hee
RANT:
Is anyone else getting outraged over the traffic lately? It is enough to make you pull your hair out!  It's not the fact that there is much more traffic, it's the fact that people cannot even get
up close to the posted speed limit. For some reason, every where I go, people are doing 
about 10-15 miles UNDER the posted speed limit!!!!!  I hope the police start giving out 
tickets for those people who are Holding Up Traffic because they are going TOO SLOW!!!! I got 4 words for that... "I Can't Drive 55!"
     ~Linda
