Hi Lenore: I was in the Florida Keys on a scuba diving trip in 1991.After our afternoon dive we went to a place I think by the name of Sunset Bay.You came on the deck and performed,it was so relaxing and your music and voice captivated me.I did talk with you after you finished ,I don't expect you to remember lol but you took the time to chat for a bit.I bought your cassatte at that time and still have it.So happy to hear that you are still performing,would love to go back to the Keys sometime.
Anyways just wanted to say hello and keep up the great entertainment...bye bye for now :) Tom

I googled you to see if you had any more CDs. Got to tell you, 10 years ago, my sister gave me your Jetset to Sunset CD. I just loved the sentiment and felt it completely. I retired at 55 and headed South cruising and now live in the Dominican Republic... Thanks to Jetset to Sunset.

Greetings from Delaware! The last time I wrote in your guestbook was October 27, 2006, so it's time to say Hi again. I retired from teaching and live a few miles from Rehoboth Beach. Glad to see you are still enjoying sucess in the music business. One of these days I'll have to get back to the Keys to see you. Until then take care and enjoy.. Ingrid says Hi.

Lenore,
In the early 90's I lived on a balloon boat in Key West. When we made it back in town you would be on the pier waving to the boat. I would always make my way down to see you perform. Your music remains true as a gift to all of us that have been able to meet you and feel you sing. Thank you for being such a gift to many people.

Mark Wally

November 8, 2010

Hey Lenny!
How are you!? I hope you're well. I just heard from a friend yesterday that told me her friends met you over the weekend and thought you were great. I guess one is a bass player. Sorry I don't know their names.
I'm trying hard to get down there with Donna in a few weeks for 3 days, a little birthday getaway for her.
My friends Dave and Sheri Cross are down there this week and will be looking for you. ( Oh ..Paradise just came on! I always loved the way we did that!)
So I hope to see you in a few weeks! I look forward to seeing you!
By the way, I still think you should do a smooth jazz cd with alll your past jazz tunes plus some new ones. It would be great!!

Evie Valdes

November 7, 2010

Lenore, thank you for making Fantasy Fest 2010 the best ever! Your song for the skit The Anti-Depressants was absolutely hysterical! I was thrilled when we got a standing ovation at The Mascarade Ball...then you topped it all by winning 1st place at Pretenders!!! Astounding!!! between your song and Teri Johnston's costume creation of pill bottles...we were untouchable! Thank you for sharing such an amazing experience!!!!!

Hi and hugs Lenore, from an unusally hot England!! Just watched the video of you performing 'Sand Dancing' on Smathers Beach for the 'Hands in the Sand' event...... wow, it brought home to me just how much I miss being in KW, and just how beautiful nature is....... I pray that there is an end to the tragedy that has been wreaked upon mother earth.....

And missing my Lisa more than words can say....

Sending good energies to you and yours, and I hope to be back soon - the lure of margaritas, my second home and sand dancing is always calling out to me.....

It was great to see you again. A week in paradise goes by so fast. We have decided we just have fun too quickly! Sitting on the beach with you and your gang was delightful. We really loved the Friday night Aqua and catching up with everybody. The Saturday La-Te-Da was just like we remembered and Sunday Gardens event was spectacular. We really enjoyed you in all these different venues and hearing you in person is always the ticket. Did you make the Today Show? We are really looking forward to that next CD! Come to Raleigh it's only 95 here! til next time. Jan and Gang

Jennifer Schwipps

June 16, 2009

Where does one begin to say what has not already been said? Like so many others, I feel that Key West and Lenore are one in the same. Get tired of the Duval Crawl, and it is so wonderful to have a place to sit and listen to such talent. The only time I have had the pleasure of seeing you in person, I was chosen to come up and play the bongos in a "band". It was such a hoot!
Not many times does one buy a CD for one song they have heard and find that the whole CD was really a treat.
Thank you for the music and the island breezes and memories you bring to the snowy days here in Indiana. Am coming back down at the end of August. Hope you will be SOMEWHERE performing.
PS I wrote Ellen and told her she needed to have you sing on her show.

Edwardo Rodriguez

June 1, 2009

I finally had a chance to view your website and I LOVE IT! You are quite the busy lady..(whew!) I get tired just reading your schedule! I cannot wait to see your beautiful face next time I see you at HD..your friend, Edwardo

Peter Grad

May 2, 2009

What a great and pleasant surprise to see that you are enjoying such a successful career ... You won't remember me but I interviewed you and Cathy Grier for a feature story in the Meriden Record-Journal back around 1982. I thought you and Cathy were sensational and consider your debut album among my favorites. I had no idea you were still performing and am anxious to purchase your CDs. I wish you continued success.

Cindy Friedbauer

April 10, 2009

Dear Lenore, I'm so thrilled to hear you are still performing - and love your "island style" so much I had to order the CD's asap - can't wait for their arrival. Too bad KW is so far away from NY! I can't believe we first saw you (and Cathy) perform back in 1980 or 1981 down on Bleecker Street in NYC! Loved you then and still love your music now! While the styles have changed, the talent has only become more refined, distinct and pure! Keep it comin for your fans (and cousins) back in NY!

November 21, 2008

Hola Lenore! Just checking your schedule to see if you'll be back in Key West over the next few weeks, we're heading back down. Key West is not the same without you, we both remember the last time we saw you, I think it was Thanksgiving weekend of '05, La-Te-Da was quiet and we had that "all request show" (Remember "Cheffie"? what a piece of work SHE was) Happy Holidaze!

Diane Gilmore

November 6, 2008

Are you still performing in Key West?

'Cause this old elementary school teacher from Texas is planning a return visit to the island, and it just would't be the same without you.

Diane Gilmore

November 6, 2008

Hey Lenore,
Am glad to see you are still at it. I'm back in Texas, and when I want to feel the breeze of the Keys, I pop in one of your CDs.

Are you still in Key West? There are so many websites with your name on them that I am not sure. If I were to visit, could I find you performing on the island? Or would I have to settle for Debra and Patrick? That's not a bad thing.

I am teaching Language Arts to fourth graders in a very small town, about 40 miles from where I live in Texas(but I grew up in the country, and am accustomed to having to drive long distances), so it is not a real issue. There's a couple of Starbuck's en route.

However, I did recently acquire a CD that I tried to find, while on the island. One that featured keyboards, by a country-blues artist named Tracy Nelson (happyday)which i thought might be a good cover for you...still love your original stuff, tho.

Anyhow, I am here, listening to her, and planning a vacation there in the summer of 2009. I am wondering if u might be performing somewhere on the island then.

Promise I won't live up to the moniker they gave me at
Alice's, my wife wouldn't be too happy with me, if I did, bbut I'd sure like to introcduce her to you in person. She's been a real trooper in regards to most of my tastes in music.

forever a fan,
diane

Hi Lenore, just saw on your schedule that you are coming to KY November 8th which is great news for those of us in the Louisville area. We’ve been to several vineyard concerts at Equus Run and they are always fun. Just send me an email with the vineyard name as I don’t want to miss the event!

Most weekends I fill my backyard (as well as my neighbors’ backyards) with your music and I know they will love joining you at the vineyard too. PS: I’m the sister of Denise Winnett (7/7/08 entry) and your music was a great birthday gift.

Looking forward to seeing you in the Bluegrass state!

July 7, 2008

Hi Lenore,
I received 5 of your CDs
for my birthday from my sister! Would like to share the note that she enclosed with the CDs...She writes..
"I don't know if you remember this or not, but approximately eight or ten years ago you gave me this cassette and said 'you're really going to love this music from the KEY WEST Women!' You were right. I really did love this music..all three song! I swore if I ever found this group I would buy every thing they had!. So many years of grilling anyone going to-coming from or thinking about Key West and music, I finally found the artist. And I did buy every CD the artist, Lenora Troia made! In fact, I bought two of every one. Hope you enjoy her music as much as I have over the years!"
My friends and I have celebrated my birthday weekend with your music!
Thanks to my sister and you for a fun filled music weekend!!!!!

Lang Godfrey

June 28, 2008

Hi Lenore:
I moved down to the lower keys this year and heard your version of Seminole Wind on 104.1. I called Jamin Jim and he gave me your name and web site. I don't think it is possible for this song to be sung any better. Please let me know how to get a copy of it.
Thanks Lang
