Just Some Of The Many E-mails Received
About Me, My Show & My Websites .........
"Listening to your show again but this time live on 247. I love it! Thanks for the great promotion!"
"Wow! Great show!! I was only going to listen to a few minutes of it tonight and then listen to the whole show tomorrow but it was so good that I listen
to both half hour segments tonight. Thank you for promoting the iPolka Band, I thought you were only going to play a couple songs from the Plamore,
I didn’t know you were doing the whole show, that was awesome! I will email the show to the other band members but I plan on listening to
it on 247 Polka Heaven again!! Thanks so much! Brian"
"Hi, Brian; Hope you're enjoying the predicted Snow Storm that isn't. I can tell you how impressed I was with the quality of the recordi/ng of your
band at the Pla-Mor. NEVER, I my WILDEST DREAMS, did I ever think the recording would turn out 'that good' !! I got the performance edited
into four parts and parts 1 & 2 constitute this week's Internet Show on 247PolkaHeaven.com. (Actually, it's going to be Part 2 followed by
Part 1 because I could find the edited files opf your performance until after I had begun recording my show yesterday.)
Also, I wasn't sure of Lori's name, and somehow got Nissel confused with Meisner initially during my show, but DID get it clarified and straightened
out during the show. It was another 'fun experience' recording a live performnace, I'm glad I discovered that you'd be 'in the area' on St. Patrick's day.
Today via e-mail, Raza,ocarfrom 247Polka Heaven sent out your CD files to the IJ on the Network; look forward to your phone ringing. Ditto for my
promoting your phone number and e-mail address on this week's show when I feature your bands music.
I'm attaching a schedule of when my shows are heard, my show featuring your music begins this Wednesday evening at 7PM if you want to inform Kurt,
Lori and Brian #2. I'm also attaching the two audio files I sent to 24/7Polka Heaven for this week's show for your 'advance listening' pleasure.
Good to 'hook up' with your again after ALL THESE YEARS !! Delta"
"Thanks for coming to the dance yesterday. It was nice to see you in person again! I will forward the pictures to the band members! Brian"
"Hi Delta,
Can I get your mailing address. We will be releasing a CD on Friday with my band “the iPolka band” Lori Nissel said she is going to do a digital
upload for the IJs but it’s always nice to have the hard copy also. I hope everything is going well for you and I try to catch your show whenever I can.
I’m attaching our band schedule and it would be great to see you if you could make a show. Your friend, Brian."
"Delta,
Excellent, fun show 2023-12, great variety of music, and good luck with the new book."
"Delta,
Nice broad variety of music tonight. Great hearing a shout out to John (Jack) Benver, that's Denver with a B. Jack was a great guy to work with in
the 911 Center. He was a fun guy, had lots of patience with folks he supervised, and could make a shift something other than stress. He created
fun and got the job done."
"Glued to the laptop. Great show this evening, lots of fun music and chat."
"I ENJOY THE SHOW; IT'S GREAT ENTERTAINMENT."
"Delta;
Great 19th season starter; the flash back to your early days as a broadcaster, disk jockey in old parlance. Fun to hear the variety of music from several eras.
Much success with Polka Heaven in 2023 and going forward."
"Delta, Great New Year's Eve program, ending on top of the charts. Looking forward to the same great programming for 2023 and two more decades of fun
entertainment."
"Nice show #51. A fine finish to several weeks of Christmas music. Much success in 2023, as you had in 2022, and for many prior years. Your music
is always fun and uplifting and your cimments entertaining, ; except the 'groaners'; just kidding. Best of Web shows and music ahead."
"Wow, almost ending, good show, again excellent Public Service Announcements; hopefully well heeded."
"Good show; really good show."
"Delta, Great #3? Christmas show, the spirit is there with the music and many good reminders about safe driving and not drinking. Hopefully two
shows for Christmas, keep rolling."
"Some nice comments on the Webpage and I recognize sime."
"Lots of upbeat Christmas music, almost halftime, unbelievable."
"Lots of good drinking/driving messages; keep it up."
"Good Punlic Service Announcements."
"Nice Christmas program, Stay warm."
"Some zany stuff this week, compared to last week."
"Lots of good public service announcements."
"It works well. Didn't you do some broadcasts a year or two ago using this production method ?" (Yes; I did.)
"Nice sound separation, music and D.J, clear, distinct."
"Hello and thank you for your time in Reading this email. I have been listening to 24/7 for quite some time now and you do a great job providing music for our listening pleasure. It is very enjoyable so thank you." (Good Morning and thank you for listening to my Internet Show and taking the time to share your comments with me. The 'concern' that you expressed of my inserting some 'talking over' the various songs while they are playing is, believe it or not, 'by design' for the following reason(s): Most of the musicians who provide me and the other IJ's with their music, provide that music to us at basically 'no charge'. They depend on us playing and promoting their music with the concept that our playing and promoting their music will encourage our listeners to purchase their CD's and cassette tapes (yes; there are still some cassettes floating around !!). If I were to simply play their music without any (as you call it) 'chatter', listeners could simply record the music (for free) off of my ( and other IJ's) Internet Programs and 'build' their music libraries that way without having to actually purchase any CD's; the bands and performers would end up 'getting nothing' for their efforts. My periodic 'talking over the music' while it's playing discourages that practice of being able to download uninterrupted music performed by the artists. That helps increase sales of their music and CD's which makes them happy * prosperous and then they send 'The NETWORK' more 'free' music to promote their band and (hopefully) listeners purchase their CD's and everybody's happy. Interestingly enough, your comments of 'talking over' the music while it's playing has been brought to my attention only two or three times before during my 18 1/2 years as an Internet Show Host on www.247PolkaHeaven.com. When someone, like you, takes the time to contact me with their concern, it's only 'common courtesy' to reply with an explanation of WHY I do 'stuff' the way I do; as I've done in your case. Again, THANKS !! for listening and taking the time to send me your e-mail. DELTA)
No hard feelings,however, the one thing that’s annoying is while the songs play there’s all that talking in between so the songs are hardly heard in its entirety. Every now and then you hear the entire song without having chatter or comments in between. It’s annoying to not hear the song in its entirety. If the chatter and comments could be eliminated while the songs play that would be great. My opinion, Reminders and such should be done after the song plays.
Thank you for your time. Have a great day.
"Really great show, thanks for the hour. Stay healthy, enjoy the good things in life; eat your fill tomorrow (Thanksgiving)."
"Delta, Great 2022 Christmas 24/7 Polka Heaven show. More great joyous music, keeps us in the spirit of the season. Thank you for your production

Keep it up!"
"This is really a fun show, I think best yet, but you have another half to change that. Jack Benver would love this number !"
"Delta, I just finished listening to your Polka Heaven show #15, 2022. If the folks that oversee Polka Heaven listen to this one program, they would understand
what a fine presentation you give.
"The amount of music time, mix of music, meaningful public service announcements, and professional and pleasant presentation as a broadcaster, are a model for what would
make Polka Heaven a stand out in the industry."
"Delta, keep up the fine work, the programs are interesting and fun."
"Delta, even though the April 6, 2022 show was a rebroadcast, the music is always fun. Nice work in selections and presentations."

"Dick, While listening I revisited your memorial to Paul on the TDS website. Your words were very fitting for a very special man, friend. You do a nice job,
and the things you write are there for rereading anytime someone needs a reminder of those who we were so fortunate to have known. Paul, Jim, Jack,
what a trio. Your memories of Paul as a fine example for living are so true."
"Delta, Goodnight; Keep it up, good music, great public service announcements, and all."

"Hi, hi, hi, hello, great show Delta !"
"Didn't know tango's were polkas."
"Your sound this week again is well separated, can hear your voice distinctly, much more professional since the change, great work."
"I'm really enjoying the music, great October spirit."
"Delta,
Excellent show tonight. Like your technical changes, it sounds so clear and professional, a much higher standard than other programs on the Polka
Network. It sounds like a clearer distinction for each element,voice, music, and canned announcements. A better overall sound quality, it seems you
have a better control over individual volumes, they are not all mushed together. Great job."
"Hi Delta."
"Wow; show moving fast."
"Show is zany but cute, great music selections, fun stuff."
"Guess you did "take off" the 2nd half, fun."
"These are good polkas."
"A very good show tonight, thanks for the good music, fun, and meaningful public service announcements."
"Bruce (Springstein) is amazing, as are you and the show. Have a great rest of your evening. Nite, nite."
"Great show, Dick; really enjoyed it. Headed off the web for the night, thanks for the entertainment; just plain fun. Loved the bridge horns."
"Great ballroom dance music, go, go, yes yes !"
"Great end song. Cajun/Zydeco, some of my favorite music, a prize."
"Another great show Delta, fun music, good chatter, keep it going."
"Remarks from the head and heart, you do a great job."
"Straddling the two sides, great first side."
"Delta, Great show, how can they get better every week, but they do. Nice work. Dennis from Duluth."
"Oh no, close to the end. Once again, lots of fun music and commentary, great job Delta."
"Really fun show, you did lots of work putting together the music, public information bits, and commentary. Thank You."
"Nice public safety bits."
"Very good special show, lots of good music and comment."
"Great program, wonderful dedication, I salute you; truly."
"Great first half show, excellent variety of music, moved fast, good DJ'n. Waiting for 2nd half."
"Night, night; great show."
"Good morning Delta. I love the show. I’m a public defender in Grand Rapids Michigan, semi- quarantined, but still fighting the good fight. Please keep
up the good work and keep the polkas coming."
"Very nice. Thanks for sharing!"
"We listened to the show last night and we all enjoyed it. Thank you."
"Richard Odoms, I am in receipt of your letter and cd of the show. First off, thank you for your years of service as a Hennepin County Sheriffs Sergeant. From
The ALASKA STATE TROOPERS:
Thank you very much for the kind words you used to describe me in the letter you sent. To answer a question, no I am not retired.
The cd you sent of your program was listened to by myself and my coworkers this morning. We found it to be a very positive show with upbeat polka music. Keep
up the good work.
By the way, it was -10 Fahrenheit this morning and 66 F degrees in our office while the show played in the background. At one point an un-named Sergeant
spontaneously demonstrated his ability to Polka dance for us.
Best wishes." ALASKA STATE TROOPERS
"Thanks, Dick - you're the best !"
"Hi Dick, You sure did have some great shows the past few weeks. Loved all the Octoberfest shows. Hope you are feeling good and your health is great. Show # 44
this Thursday was fantastic your 2015 interview with Walt sure did bring back memories. It is hard to imagine that he has been gone already for 2 years. We miss his
show on 247 it was always entertaining. We had a little snow flurries this morning and it is getting colder.
I do not know if everyone thinks this way or is it only me that it seems that it got colder faster this year, it is 33 now and the rest of the week and into next week it is
going to be in the upper 20’s and low 30s BRRRR. God Bless and stay warm there in Deltaville."
"Hi Dick, Listening in to your show on this 4th of July and really enjoying it. Your last two shows that you dedicated to the doctor were great. Linda and I would like
to wish you and all a very Happy 4th of July. The weather has been has been in the upper eighties and a little rain every day, kind of like Florida, but we love
it. Summer has finally arrived. Our vegetable garden is great this year and have already picked some green and yellow beans, Kale, Spinach and lettuce.
"Hope you are feeling alright and God Bless." Linda and Tom

GLBTQ people. Thanks again for offering such support on 247PolkaHeaven. I was not aware of the Gill Foundation before this introduction."
"Hi Dick: Listening in now and your Christmas shows have been great so far, you are really doing a great job on putting them together."
"One thing we like is you mix up all the different nationalities and styles. It sure is enjoyable listening to them. Everything has been going well here and it may be chilly but no
snow so far to speak of, which I like. God Bless and have a great week."
"Delta Dick --- Great Website (best I've seen)."
"Your Web Page Is Amazing !! I hadn’t seen it in a while, you’ve put a lot of work into making such a great web site!"
"I turned on 24 hr Polka Heaven this AM and heard your program honoring Independence Day. When I tuned you in, you were playing how Francis Scott Key wrote the
Star Spangled Banner. It was very touching and made me cry. Can you tell me who made it? I would love to get it for my grandchildren so they can understand what and
who makes our country great."
"Dick, you're amazing."
"It was touching. I'm not surprised you're getting emails about it. Good Job."
"Thanks for the effort you put into your show, and into keeping your website up-to-date!"

"Hi Dick: Great show and interview with Nathan Neuman today. He is a very talented young man. I first saw him on Molly B Polka show on RFD TV. This CD along
with Ted Lange’s daughter, Ali should be in everyone’s collection for sure I was surprised to find out that Nathan is related to the Langer Sisters. His Cd is also
available at Jimmy K’s Polka and at Polka connection.com."
"Loved that Birthday song for Randy, I never heard that one before. He did a great job on that one."
"You always get some great guest on to interview. That is why you have one of the best shows on 247 Polka heaven. Linda and I always enjoy listening to you.
Have a great weekend and God Bless, Polkatively Yours, Linda and Tom"
"I am in Binghamton New York. I am a big fan of he Delta Dick Show and have been for a long time. Love the music and your interesting communication." Bill
from Birmingham, New York
"Great show Delta; keep up the zany. HA HA." Ray from Pennsylvania
"Hi Delta : Where else can you get all the different music, The information that Delta has to offer and the entertainment all in an hour show. The only show of its
kind anywhere. The fastest hour ever."
"As of this writing, I don't know what the new schedule changes are, but I'm sure they are fine. Continuously, over the past 43 years, I've had at least a weekly radio
show-usually more. What was drilled into me early, is that a radio show host does not own the air time. The audience comes first. All things considered, You must have made the
best schedule for all. Thanks for your efforts. Feel free to share."
"Ray, Who doesn't want another hour of airtime? I will say that I am in if you decide to change the network to 2-hour segments. I appreciated the comments that
Delta Dick gave and it made me think of a few things as well. Altering the network for 2 hour shows will now change the flavor of the network in a lessening way.
Normally a listener has the variety of a different format each hour. With the 2-hour format, you might have listeners no longer tuning in because they cannot get
that variety. Say someone does not like Polish style, they may turn off 247 entirely because they would have to wait another hour for "their" music. I think you will have
a very difficult task of re-arranging shows to keep some of the IJs in their favorite spots. Not that you aren't up for it, but I agree with Delta Dick in that many listeners
are used to their favorite show in a particular time spot. Many of my listeners do not listen to me at my appointed time, they listen to one of the repeat air times.
I also agree that doing a 2-hour show may actually be a bit of a burden. I currently produce a 2-hour weekly radio show and a one hour podcast in addition to my 247 show.
I try not to use the same material in any of these shows. The 2-hour weekly has always been the hardest to get complete in time.
I did not see any other "reply all" emails from our fellow IJs, maybe they spoke their opinions directly to you. Always appreciate what you do, Ray, thanks for the suggestions."
"Nice website. Thanks for helping me out. It is great music, great advertisement. May God Bless." Phyllis Hummel
"Hi Polka Cuzzin Delta Dick..... Listened to your show tonight.... Thank you so much for featuring my new CD "Let's Dance" twas nice of you.... Your delivery was

Bennett and Disney Studios in May of next year.... Stay well & Keep Big Band and Polka Music alive.... Musically Yours.... Walt Procanyn..... N.Y.C."
"Enjoy your program. I liked the one featuring an hour of the Jimmy Sturr Band. I am listening at my office in the basement of Student Activities Center at UCLA. Your
program plays at 8:00 to 9:00 am.
"I enjoy your Webpage and check it quite often."
"Hi Richard: I meant to write sooner but have been busy. I just wanted to say we are really enjoying the old show that you are running this summer. That was a great idea
of yours to do this. Hope it is nice at the lake. It sure is summer now, this past week it has been in the upper 80’s and low 90’s. But I am not complaining it sure beats
freezing temps. God Bless and have a great week."
"Dick, Your Webpage looks fantastic. Wow, what a talent you have. I am very impressed."
"Hi; I really enjoy listening to your polka show. I love that you play polkas from years ago up to the present date."
"I'm a 65 year old male living in Springfield, MO. There are no polka dances around here. So, I rely on your polka show for polkas!!"
"Love your show !!"
"Dick, You said everything I believe in. As what Rush would hear, "dittos"..."
"Delta Dick; You're the authority. You're the man when it comes to finding those blasts from the past.....some that we would think were obsolete."
"Nice job Delta Dick."
"Hi Delta, I'm listening on Wed on March 30, and you just played the most beautiful German song. I think it's Aba dich (I'm Polish, so I'm guessing at that :)"
"Just wanted you to know that I always enjoy your shows." Shirley in Plymouth, Michigan.
"Dick; Congratulations on your new site!"
"Dick: Every time I check your site there is something new. I am impressed!"
"Dick, It was great seeing you as well. My wife and I went to the 50th Anniversary party for North Ambulance Service tonight. I saw Chuck Lindstrom, Mike Murphy,
Ricky Karnitz, Ron Robinson, and a great many of the old North paramedics. I brought your name up to many and they of course recognized the famous name
behind the dulcet tones of the great Dick Odoms. You are a legend."
"Heard from Brandi Yaeck's sister how nice you were to put her benefit info on your Website. What a nice gesture."
"Hello Dick, I am Judy Feltmann, you stopped by my house to drop off your CD, business card and donation. I want to follow up today by first saying
"THANK YOU" for the generous donation of the Gift Card. I have been in total shock with the response we have seen to the benefit........some by people like
yourself who have never met Brandi."
"Thanks for all you do !!!"
"I love your Website! Thanks Delta!"
"Hello Delta! It's really very interesting to read all this information concerning your Hamburg and to see these nice pictures!"
"I thank you for being a man of your word."
"Caught your program last night at midnight EST in its entirety. Just wanted to drop you a few lines to thank you for featuring our 'Resurgence' CD from end to end;
much appreciated !!
"Hey Delta Dick: Great show on Monday morning at 2-3am. Keep up the good work."
"My name is Theresa Narvinski from Pennsylvania and I recently caught your show showcasing Bud Hundenski & the Corsairs and their new CD "Resurgence." I have
to say that is best polka music I've heard in years and hope you will continue to air it and styles similar."
"Thanks again for a great show and will continue to listen on a regular basis."
"Thank You - it's nice having neighbors like you and Stan."
"I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE!! How wonderful of you to spend your time doing this! What a positive impact you make on many lives every day! I wish someone from
your neighboring city of Glencoe would do this for us!! Thanks SO Much!"
"Take care of yourself and Happy Holidays.... Congrats also on "making a difference" in your community.... :)"
RETIRED CAVER COUNTY SHERIFF BUD OLSON SAID THIS .....
"Dick:
Thanks for your public service; you do so much and probably don't get recognized for any of it. But, you are a wonderful asset for Carver County and Hamburg and for your
radio listening community; you're just a great guy. Thanks so much."
"My prayer would be more Dick Odoms' would rise up and get involved in their lives, in their communities and in our way of life! Our future needs courageous leaders who
are not afraid to “challenge” the process and our leaders. America needs our involvement more than ever because of the polarizations that is taking place at all levels
of government and our lives. I have tried to think of any part of my life where government in NOT involved in some way, shape or form. While I believe we cannot live
without “the people” looking out for each other, I believe we have created a monster that has an appetite we cannot sustain. Something has to give……"
"Thank you for taking such an interest in the Office and my journey. It has been enjoyable to connect and reconnect over the years."
"Wishing you Life’s Best today and everyday !! Many blessings in the New Year."
Byron 'Bud' Olson, Sheriff of Carver County, Minnesota (Retired)

see all the weather stations on Weatherunderground. Thanks also for promoting (Severe Weather) Awareness Week. We do appreciate it. Watch out for the
sirens on Thursday! Make sure you simulate going to the basement. Todd" (Todd Krause, National Weather Service Forecast Office-Chanhassen, Minnesota)

been nearly 8 weeks and my hope is dwindling, but.....everyone tells me dogs are very good at fending for themselves.....even backyard-city dogs??"

Day! From Green Isle."

are the closest to me (Green Isle) so what happened? And how do I fix it? See ya from G.I."
"Hi: My name is Wendy and am originally from Hamburg. My dad used to be the postmaster in the 1950's-1960's. I was wondering if anyone has any photos of the old public
school or teacher Miss Hildur Carlson? We moved from Hamburg when I was 12 but I attended the school up until then and would love to see photos or make copies as I
have none. Thank you for your help."
"Richard, This was a great show about the various things you can do at NYPD and it seems like the guy loves the department.You have a great radio show and nice website. Thanks
for sharing it with me.
Respectfully, Matthew"
"Hi Dick: I meant to tell you last week that the interview with Mike was great. WE really enjoyed it. Just to let you know that Thurs. line up was all messed up, Your
show was not aired till 10:00. I had a doctor appointment at 10. Luckily I installed a VLC media player and I was able to record that show and listen to it today.
You always have an entertaining show and really do a great job. Thank You for doing it each week. God Bless and have a great week. Polkatively Yours, Linda and Tom
