Email in regard to Vintner Wine Room set list, December, 2009 To Mr. Vague:  You may be able to claim the late James Brown's title of 'The Hardest Working Man In Show Business"... Besides being an interesting and good set list, it's a long one! They are getting their money's worth from you!

Video Watcher/Listener, August 24, 2009 To Mr. Vague:  "I am a longtime fan and friend (but not  longtime friend, if you catch my meaning) of Mr. Vague. After viewing his latest offering on YouTube, I was struck by two delightful and wholly unrelated impressions. The first: Mr. Vague is a professional. I say this with the utmost sincerity. Mr. Vague was unfazed as people strolled back and forth (seemingly fazed) in front of the stage. As these folks meandered back and forth like one of the lost tribes of Israel, Mr. Vague and his flautist, Geri Rizzo, played a delightful (and improvised version) of Vague's own "Hotcake Blues", which leads me to my second impression. I have known Mr. Vague for over twenty years and during that time I have had the privilege to listen to his vocal stylings. Time has served Mr. Vague's voice well. With each passing year, his voice grows (dare I say it?), sweeter. His is a melodious and unobtrusive warble (and I mean that in the nicest possible way). Listening to Mr. Vague is akin to spending a warm sunny morning  on a secluded beach. Time ebbs by and once you are ensconced, you simply do not want to stir."

Mr. Vague, Big Shout Magazine, Issue No. 161, December 19, 2000 - January 16, 2001 Ebenezer’s Cafe
Ebenezer’s Cafe, located in the Shoppes at Smithbridge, is a relaxing eatery complete with comfortable chairs and an inviting fireplace. The menu offers light fare, gourmet pastries, and specialty coffees. In addition, Ebenezer’s presents live music on Friday and Saturday nights, featuring predominately solo acoustic performers and occasionally jazz musicians.
In this relaxing atmosphere, Mr. Vague performed a 90-minute set included both covers and original material. While the covers were an interesting mix of 70’s acoustic artists and 60’s psychedelic bands, the set still managed to retain its continuity. Surprisingly, songs like Al Stewart’s "Last Day of June 1934" and "Songs out of Clay" worked well with Jefferson Airplane’s "Genesis" and The Zombies’ "Beachwood Park." Even though he lacked the backing of a band, his stripped down versions of "Genesis" and "Beachwood Park" retained their power. Other covers included Joni Mitchell’s "Urge for Going" and Tom Waits’ "Can’t Wait to Get off Work."
Mr. Vague’s original material, consisting of "100,000 Deaths," "Ginny," "Just Once More," "Spider Web" and "Through the Glass" worked well with the covers. His songwriting also revealed much of the same political commentary and forlorn feelings of the covers. Mr. Vague did not talk much during his performance, but was willing to grant requests. The sound quality was excellent and his vocals hit the right note.
Generally, solo acoustic acts do not lend themselves to rambunctious stage shows and in keeping with Mr. Vague was no exception. Instead, he provided, in the comfortable setting of Ebenezer’s Cafe, powerful music worth contemplating.
