Something I could then send back to Elmer to autograph for him.

For all of my non Yooper friends, if you love old country music give Elmer Aho a listen on his regular Saturday night show here in da Yoop. American Country Gold. One of my favorite radio shows to have ever graced the airwaves. Famous across the globe and this is coming from a guy who hates modern country music:)

Don’t get out there much anymore since my mom, Margie, my sister Peggy and my significant other have passed on. Camp up the road from the boys isn’t the same but I need to start going down there again. Miss it too much. Hope all is good with u!

She loves to listen to you, and is 78 years old. Her name is Martha Sullivan from Calumet, Michigan.

Hi Elmer,
We are all up at Camp G in Fech, MI ready to listen to your show tomorrow night. 88 year old Grandpa Gus Groeneveld, WWII Purple Heart Veteran, bagged a nice 8 pointer with his cross bow this morning. Wondering if you can give him a shout out during the show, and if you could play the song off your album: “GRAMPS WHAT WILL WE DO WITH ALL THE MEMORIES”. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for all the great music. Keep it Country!

Hi Elmer,
I’m Marcy Frusti, the nurse you met at the MGH Rehab unit. I came back from break and you were gone, so I thought I’d email my request. We
will be listening tomorrow out at our camp in the Keweenaw on the big lake, at Big Betsy (just north of Gay) My husband, Jay, really likes Johnny Cash, if you could play him a song, he would love it. Thank you so much in advance!

Listening in Negaunee. Thank you so much for playing Lane Dawson and Hoot Roberts for my Mom, Elaine Roose’s birthday. She loves to hear the music of Lane Dawson. What a special surprise when you played “Invitation To The Blues” by Hoot Roberts. That is one of her very favorite songs by Hoot. Thank you, Elmer. Thought you’d like to know she received a special birthday message from singer James Intveld yesterday. We look forward to seeing you a week from Wed. at the Finnish group. Drive home safely tonight.

I want to share with you an Elmer story… It was June 24 2011 and my boyfriend drive me to MGH because I was having contractions. Turns out our baby boy was going to come a few days early. Somehow his laptop ended up at the hospital and he was able to stream one of your past shows. We listened to you the whole day (it was a Friday). We had doctors and nurses very excited you were on in our room. Well needless to say our son Elden Gene was born during your show! I’m not a big country fan but Andy and I always have you on, on Saturday nights. You are kinda like family you know since you were in the delivery room and all.

Take care,
Melissa, Andy and Elden

We would really enjoy hearing these songs and look forward to having you on the radio as we sit by the bon fire and will be lighting off fireworks at dark.

Thanks Elmer!!!

Elmer don’t matter what you play just wish some younger folks out there would appreciate what they missed growing up to in the U P. I would hope that Todd finds a replacement for you when and if you decide to hang it up hopefully we still have you for many years to play all the old classics.

Thank you Elmer for playing our request for us. The song, “Silver Haired Daddy of Mine,” was our mother’s favorite because it reminded her of her father. Now, it reminds us of HER. The family stayed up late Saturday night to listen for it. Thank you, again. –The Girard-Westfall families.

Hi Elmer, I was listening and heard your gospel number at the end of the show that you played for Bob and his wife. Bob had requested a gospel number at the Jacobetti home on Wed. You played “Whispering Hope” by Skeeter Davis. Her rendition is so beautiful! I had mentioned that to you after you had played it another time to close your show. I’m glad you chose that one for Bob and his wife. My Mom Elaine and me (Karoliina) wish you a great week.

Hey Elmer,
You’ve never met me but I’ve been a fan of yours since moving to the UP twelve and a half years ago. I even know the house that you grew up in out in Kiva. I’ve got one of your cassettes and wish I had many more. Once or twice I heard you on the country radio station as a disk jockey. You are a legend Elmer! Thanks so much for accepting me as a friend (Facebook). I certainly hope you’re feeling well Elmer, you’ve been through so much. I will pray to our Savior about your health and even longer life.

In His Clutches,
Dave Grizzel

Hi Elmer,
Thanks for taking my call recently, I know you are very busy with the radio and I must tell you that you are doing a fabulous job with the program. Every One loves your show!
I must tell you also that last Saturday night we (my sister and family) were invited to a country music jamboree just down the road from where I am staying. It is in Green Hills and the neighbors put this thing together every once in a while and invite their friends and neighbors to sing along. It was great!! They have some real talent here and sing many of the American traditional songs. They had a fiddler there also and I went to shake his hand after their part of the program was finished and discovered that he was the fiddler for the one and only Slim Dusty. This guy is amazing to say the least. He is considered the very best in all of Australia and it was a great pleasure to meet him personally. The entire evening was great and it was over by 10:00 and every one went their way. I happened to meet Stuart Watson, the fiddler for Slim, and given the idea that I listen very carefully when talking with Aussies, it is hard to determine their actual comment sometimes. I believe he said his name as Stuart Watson so I will go with that for now. If I learn differently I will correct my mistake in the next letter. Simply said– This guy is A REMARKABLE person on the fiddle and it was such a pleasure to meet and hear him. I thought of you frequently through out the evening. Thank you again for taking the time for my rambling here and also for playing a tune by Johnny Cash for your friend and mine, Ben Livingston. He so loves Johnny Cash. I will write again later and if I can I will introduce you to my friends and family here through the media of the Internet. It is 8:30 on Monday morning here as I write this to you.

Best wishes,
Wally Patterson
