We used to love to hear you play back in the mid-70s during impromptu 1st-East concerts in New Men's Dorm. I was the guy that used to say, "play your other one!"

My wife and I lived at 1104 Lexington '79-80?
Used to go down a couple blocks to Danny Pieoffs and listen to him and some friends jam.
That pic of the house on Lex brought back some great memories
Thanks for the great site and music

Why mr.greene, why did you wait until we weren't in your class anymore to reveal that you're in this awesome band?
Mariah

Wow.... Who would have thought that my English 10 teacher (Ben Greene) would have been part of such an amazing group of musicians!
You all rock, seriously.
Keep up the awesome work! Hopefully I can get ahold of a copy of "Wilson" as well as "Words To Burn"
Again, you're all awesome.

(PS. Mr. Greene, hopefully this is accurate enough grammar for you!)

Jim from time to time I check
out your home page. You are
so very talanted, hardly seems
like the little boy I used to know.
Your mother attended my 80th
birthday party and my heart was so warm seeing all these ladies come in that had been such a
great presence in my life.
I could never tell you how much
Leonard enjoyed your CD, called
Buried Land. He knew every inch of that land too. He kept it in the
CD player by his chair and I
often found him listening to it.

Hey guys! You're doing a great job and I love you're new site!!! I especially LOVE the first picture that comes up with Andy in the background. I am reflecting today on the past year as it's my son Anderson's first birthday. I so wish Anderson could have gotten to know what a wonderful great uncle he was named after. I love Dillard Street, and am so happy to hear Andy's voice on the new album although it makes me cry to hear him that way. Thanks so much for all you do - keep up the wonderful work of making our world more musical! Em

Hello Myths! I'm very pleased to hear you've got a new disc coming out. I'm also happy to see that Mr. Ben Greene is still rockin'! Maybe I'll bump into you sometime soon Mr. Greene. I look foreward to hearing the new material!
January 27, 2007
Great job my friends, though Jim, you're the only one I really know of the Near-Myths. I listend to the Dillard Street song and think this is nice, a little indulgent, goes on too long; then read the commentary that it's the story of a man's life not just some life encapsulated some perfect song. So glad you included that news commentary revealed this and that references and what the song and the man was all about. Can envy what you guys have all meant to each other. I never was much a band man my early years, still find it easier to break it out solo free and crazy but luckily I had some folks became "band-type" friends their persistance showed me another way looking at it all. Really wanted to hear Water into Wine took me a couple of days the system wasn't set up for that. Will look forward to it.

As a proud owner of “Wilson”, I was excited to hear Dillard Street. I listened to it tonight with my wife and offspring (aged 22 and 21), and discovered that your trip down memory lane provided the vehicle for me to reminisce with my own family about past exploits. Thanks for that gift. While your sounds are truly unique, for me they echo Ray Materick and Harry Chapin. Such pleasant sounds telling such great stories. What a treasure!

Your guitar player Teep tells us that somebody connected with the Hackney family in Wilson was the originator of the phrase,"A cliche is just something said before, before." Can this be true? Why don't you use more cliches in your songs? Just wondering.
ps-I personally coined the future cliche, "The more you hit your head, the more you hit your head." I'm sure Teep will concur that this is at least accurate if not lyrically significant.
Good luck to you all.
A fan, Pahaska

So very sad about Andy. Knew him since Dillard Daze. Fell in love with him at first sight one Halloween on Tate Street even though he was wearing a mask the whole time. But character, wit, and intelligence somehow leaked through the eyeholes, and then when months later I saw that face, heard that guitar & singing, what a treat. Had not seen him in several years but wish I had. I won't forget you, dear Andy.

Give Nadine, Dash, Patches , and Thumper a kiss for me. Play a little volleyball, sing a couple of songs, and play a little poker. I know you will all be looking out for us.
And my friend, the great Andini, rest in peace.

Nicholas Anderson Oglesby is now and forever one of The Near Myths. He always will be an inspiration and influence to me, both musically and socially. All of us will miss him. Sincere thanks to all our fans for the love and support you have given to us in this time of grief. The Near Myths appreciate it more than words can convey.
