Now I have turned 75 and my daughter played me your version or "75 Septembers". I knew PP&M by the time you played Sydney, Australia, in an appalling boxing stadium with revolving stage and corrugated iron accoustics, 1964. I thank God for you and the love and wisdom you have shared out of your experience, oh, and the music! ...hope to see you again in the audience when there are 10,000 times 10,000 present 🙂

Noel' I want to once again being an inspiration to fellow musicians. I have played your songs and sung them all over the world, but the one song I will never forget is Leaving on A Jet Plane. hearing it on my head phones as I was taking off for my first tour. I cried as it was so true to my spirit then used a song or two in sermons. Keep up the faith and strong musical truth we all need each day.

Dear Mr. Stookey, I want to wish you the very best. Your beautiful music, and especially The Wedding Song, brings me joy and never gets old. I was playing it today and decided to reach out and thank you for it. You're the same age as my mother and I pray you're in good health and walk in peace. I'd love to hear from you but I understand that millions of others would as well. Warmest regards, Allen

Looking for the song you sang so many years ago: "trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding" I can not find this rendition with any search, did you record this and where is it please?

Shook your hand this evening at David Mallet’s concert at the Grand in Ellsworth, Maine.
And I Thankyou again for all the years, all the music.
In spite of my white hair, I’ve followed you many, many years and David almost as long.
Both superlative performers !
I’m honored to have been able to shake your hand. You are a real gentleman and this country needs more like you.
Thankyou for your dedicated voice.

Big fan of the music since I was a kid in the 60's. Great stuff! How about a tab or music sheet here and there. I figured you use drop D tuning on Miracles. LOVE THIS SONG. Cant find sheet music anywhere. You think as a musician I could figure it out. Okay, well not a musician but I play the guitar. Ummmmm alright alright I am a guitar owner. Anyway would love to get the chords to play this wonderful song.

Thank you, Noel, for your song "Early in the morning." It has become quite a blessing to me this year. I want to have a way to rejoice in the Lord every day, so I sing along with it driving to work. I am getting better at reaching the high note! The song is only a little older than I am. I love its energy, and how complete it is even though only a minute and a half long. It's my current favorite song and likely will be for a long time.

In the mid-'70s, a friend taught me a song he said he got from a cousin of NPS. I've never been able to verify this. I love the song and wish to share it, but want to make sure I give credit to the writer. The words begin: "I was wondering if you had been to the mountain to look at the valley below..." Is this one of Mr. Stookey's creations?

Greetings 'Good and faithful servant'.
I always felt that NPS and I have lived parallel lives from: when I was given a signed copy of 'Lemon Tree' in a Toronto department store as a young teenager; playing guitar in a folk/harmony group as a later teenager (PP&M were a major part of our repertoire); committing my life to Jesus in my 20s; playing and singing 'Wedding Song' at a few weddings; meeting you at Greenbelt (I live in the UK); using 'Peace in the Valley' in evangelism (and other 'Bodyworks' songs).
I am now in the process of learning 'Nukes are Nuts' for a Peace concert at my Church (I am a Deacon).
I just wanted to say you have been a constant in my life and I am proud to call you 'Brother'
Bless you.

I first met you in 1980 at a concert you did for my school in Portland I have followed you and admired you over the years as did my father. In 2018 he was dying of colon cancer and became so weak he no longer wanted to talk but instead wanted me to play and sing for him.... I played your songs as best as I could and he was happy. I just wanted to thank you for giving us the gift of a peaceful passage. I am sure I am not the only one with a story like this you have touched more lives than you know..
