Happy Rhodes fan Guestbook

Happy is living her life and is very content. She lives on a peaceful farm in upstate New York with her husband, musician Bob Muller. She has a "day job," one that she likes very much (she hand-builds pro-audio equipment for Dangerous Music, and is able to work at home). Though she hasn't made music for many years that is (we all hope) about to change. She and Bob are building a home studio which will, uh, we all hope, be used to make more of her beautiful and unique music.

I do delete entries not concerned with Happy's music or if I feel the entry isn't appropriate.

I'm sorry there's a length limit and that some entries have been cut off. I can't seem to change that. If you write something long, highlight and copy it before you send. If it cuts off, leave another message with the rest of it.

Please, if you have something you need me or Happy to get back to you on, leave your email address or send me a reply email when you receive the canned confirmation note (the one that eats apostrophes, sorry about that).

BTW, if you leave your e-mail address, it can only be seen by me, not by everybody.

"Find Me," Happy's 11th album and her first since 1998's Many Worlds Are Born Tonight is released and is now available on CD Baby (both the CD and as mp3s), and on iTunes.

The Find Me album now has a MySpace page of its own, with 6 full songs, and song samples from the rest of the album.

Happy's MySpace page (which I maintain. Actually, I maintain all 5)

NOTE: I no longer accept add requests UNLESS you send amessage along with the request that lets me know you really do like Happy. In fact I'm deleting people left and right because I assume they've never heard Happy and don't care. It's a long story, but I don't want Happy to be a number by people who send add requests and don't even stick around long enough to listen to the music. Unfortunately I can't tell those people, from people who have listened and really like, so send a message, ok? Thanks.

Happy's official site

The Ecto Home Page (here you can get lyrics)

HAPPY VIDEOS! (well, live clips, since she's never made any actual videos)

That link above is out of date. There are lots of great links, so I'm not going to delete it, but really, there's so much more on YouTube now. Just search for Happy and you'll find either

k8fan's channel

xenussister's channel

happyrhodesalbums's channel

Plus, 5 full-length concerts are on MySpace. there are 3 at the above mentioned MySpace page

and 2 more at a satellite page. Just under Happy's picture you'll see "View My..." and click on Videos. You don't have to be a member of MySpace to view them.

Thank you again for discovering, listening to, and supporting Happy!

Vickie

On 2000(this time internet is not so easy to access to me) I was found a cd with acoustic songs as Hold me. I was dont have money on this day. So I was write on a paper the singer name and the album: Happy Rhodes, The Keep. But this item is rare and I like much music ( The Mission is my fave band, and many other music styles)but never forget it. Past year I remember and found the anotation on my agenda e search it on youtube. I hear on youtube (case of glas, rainkeeper...)and was do a download of one album but I will buy maybe all studio albuns released. Still I'm knowing what is your songs. I like very very much you chant style. You remember me little Juliane Regan. She, Wayne Hussey, and I think you now is my fave singers. Would be a great a duet between you and Wayne Hussey! I wanna know a explanation about your lyrics content, your themes is about? What is the ecto? There aliens on your songs? There esoterism on your lyrics Miss Happy Rhodes you take me to the heart. I have 36 years old but you make me a child when you sing. I really gradually know more about you music. Maybe I play it to me when I come back to my classical guitar lessons... I love music...

A little over 2 years ago I was trying to find a song I heard in a store (several stores) that might be by Tori Amos. Rather than just listening to every Tori song ever recorded, I did web research using a bunch of audio and text tools, and discovered a whole world of music that I don't hear on the radio, even though I have a pretty good local radio station. I never found the song, but I became a huge fan of Vienna Teng, whom I'd never heard before, and also a fan of about half a dozen other female singer-songwriters. One stop on my search was the Ectophiles' Guide, where I read about Happy Rhodes. I put her music on my list of things to do, but somehow never got around to listening to it until yesterday. Using your site, I've started at the beginning, and gotten through about half of the first album. Already by this point it's obvious: Happy Rhodes is an amazingly talented songwriter and performer. Her music is just hypnotic. I will listen more, and then buy some. If she ever performs in my part of the world (unlikely, I know), I'll attend. Meanwhile, I've got to thank you for maintaining Happy Rhodes' web presence, without which I would not be hearing her music. BTW I have not included my e-mail in the form, only because your site does not make it clear whether it would be publicly displayed.

Happy's really great. She's one of the few artists that I can really listen to. I've only gotten into an artist this much one other time, which was Guster. I'm just now recalling Happy, because she was actually the first artist I ever listened to. When I was about 8, I really loved "No One Here," because I was with a friend and we were meowing along with the cat. It was a lot of fun. Now that I'm into her again, I keep finding other friends that I really think would like her, and I think I got a little group going together that are really into Happy. I told my friends about Santa Cruz when she cut her finger before a concert, and are just now realizing that we'd all be awaiting for her to return once again. At least, hopefully. She's been a real inspiration to me, her unique music can really relate to my binaural taste.

I am looking for song lyrics to a fantasic cut on the Will Ackerman album called Hearing Voices. Happy's cut is called "Before We Left This All Behind." It's a FANTASTIC SONG I listen to every day because it makes me so happy and I feel like I'm getting a healing. I would LOVE to have the lyrics so I can sing along. I hope you can help me out.

I wanted to know if Happy is looking for background vocals or other (drums, synth, tupperware, sound samples, piano....) I have a long history of singing as a background, and my voice has been described as more than one voice, it happens that one night i sang in the total darkness deep in the woods near an old cistern, and little flames like candles began to come toward me and my friend. i also write questionable poetry that deserves to be culled for maybe one good line. From a vocational test at Drexel university, they came up with results that i am most similiar to musicians. I am a cashier at a market (beep beep.... beep) my cat likes it when i sing. She does not like it when i dance, for obvious reasons. I feel Happy and i are close in age and might be friends, i would never want my own show(egads), i love to be a calm contributor... mother made me sing in the car...mostly harmony. i have some acting experience but again, its not me, really. My sister lives in Albany, NY. We like to go to shows but have not seen her there. I saw her at the Painted Bride in Philly in 93. I have a goal to someday make bells, i have some experience in metals, painting, and other stuff at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia. Too much talk....more music. I played only Many worlds for a whole year (truly!)and never tired of it as a mantra...it was my food. I must say of any musician, i have the most utter respect for Happy, and would be honoured to contribute even the tiniest bit, if it might be useful.

I really love all of Happy's music but was forced to seel myentire music collection last year. I am now slowly beginning to rebuild it digitally but I am not terribly web-savvy so I'm having a hard time finding all of Happy's albums available for download. iTunes doesn't have half of what I had on CD and Amazon (though cheaper) even less. Do you have any suggestions where I should look? Thanks.

Hello Happy, hello Vickie, just a few lines to thank you both for giving me the chance to dive into this fascinating universe that is Ms Rhodes' music. The fact that we all share the same love for KB and felines, makes things even more fascinating, of course! Wishing you both all the best for your future projects. Hugs! Antonello x
