I keep meaning to write to you! I really enjoyed your CD. The production is fantastic and the diversity of the songs very impressive! I loved that amazing weird one with Emily in it.. and your voice is great. I’d be interested in seeing your band some time.

I don’t give out compliments lightly, but this is incredible. I’m going to order four copies for friends of mine who I know will love it. I’m thinking of recording my own independent project, and this is raising the bar and inspiring me to a higher standard for my own project.

I am truly grateful to my friend for introducing me to your music!

So let me tell you the simple joy of your rikud. You listen to it for the first time and say to yourself, ‘How cool, Cory Cullinan has a CD and it’s good but musically challenging and I don’t want to really think right now…’ Finally, a few days later you find yourself singing “Hey Hey Eye High” over and over and over and over again. So you go back and throw on the CD and listen. And the next day you’re singing a new song in your spare time and then all of a sudden you just keep playing his darn CD because you have decided it rules and you need to learn the words so you don’t sing the same part over and over and over again.

When you think singer/songwriter, you don’t really think of the kind of material that Cory does — and I think that you’re going to like it! He is sort of one of those musicians without borders, and he uses all of his influences and incorporates them beautifully — flawlessly — with great lyrics. And you’ll probably hear a little samba, a little Queen, a little Beatles, a little bluegrass, who knows?!? You would if you had the CD, which is excellently produced and a really wonderful product! Brilliant, funny, and largely influenced by the Beatles, the Gershwins, and Gustav Mahler!!!

We didn’t move fast enough because His Oyster is no longer available in any of Chisinau’s many trendy music stores. Can you send us the (signed) CD at $15 so that we won’t have to continue to endure the snickers of President Lucinschi and our other dinner guests when they demand a Cory Cullinan song and we come up with some lame excuse?

Dear Cory: Thank you very much for the copy of My Oyster, which the Arkansas Governor’s office passed along to me. I was glad to receive your work, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Hillary joins me in sending best wishes. Sincerely.

Thank you so much for the wonderful CD containing your song, Little Rock Don’t Break. (I enjoyed your other work, also!) Cory, your musical interpretation of the first day for the “Little Rock Nine” is outstanding. It is obvious that you have a heartfelt concern for Little Rock and Arkansas as we deal with and overcome the crisis at Central High School. Please accept my warmest and best wishes for your success – and may God bless you.

I hope he gets famous. It’s a really neat CD. Really creative guy, and a good voice. I just won’t let my wife listen to it anymore. That little hidden track at the end makes me look bad; I asked her to marry me in the car on the way home from the vet. A natural romantic! Hey, put me on your mailing list if you have one; I want your new CDs when they come out. Also, if your band comes out east, tell me when/where.

The music Cullinan writes does not fall into a traditional category. It combines elements of every kind of music… With even more variance than the Beatles put in Magical Mystery Tour… It is also further proof of Mr. Cullinan’s abnormality.
