I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.
Giggl-icious… if a bit predictable.
Rock it out.
I’m still better than you,
Lilly
what effect did it have on you when u knew uthat yiu had to make music being blind
Oh, dear, holy GOD!! I saw it coming (unlike Stevie) a mile away & it STILL waylaid me!
Shameless, politically incorrect, insensitive, not to mention just plain… wronnnnnnnnng… & I haven’t stopped laughing yet!!!
Please don’t ever stop.

[ Paul, check out the Wikipedia entry for Satire. It has all the answers. -B. ]
hello agian just to say have you got any websites of your own that plays your songes if so plw3ase email me
[ Wikipedia. Post haste. -B.]
Oh my God! Our society is going down the tubes…stupid people posting everywhere! (don’t get me started on the Paris Hilton posts)
The sad part is I come here for a laugh, and in these cases, leave frustrated knowing that these people vote, and in the case above me, will be deciding how to fix Social Security a couple decades.
Brian, maybe you need a front page with the site title and “From New York, a weblog…” in size 40 font with a “Click here to enter” thing to help clarify the confusion for the dim bulbs. What do you think?
You need to check out the main story in PARADE (1/8/06). It mentions your name as part of someone’s dream of a lifetime. It would be great if you could make this happen, if only for a day! I don’t know the person, but I would be interested if you decide to act on this. Thanks for letting me write to you. I have always adored your music!!
stevie im in year 10 i am doing a report on you couldyou emailme and tell me howyou use your ict with your special needs please relply thank you very much love danielle and stephanie xxxx
[ Note: Though I thought it obvious, Banterist is not a conduit to Stevie Wonder. -B. ]

And Congraudlations on the little one may he or she bring you great joy and happiness and i know within the years to come you’ll be writting about her or him and there youth day’s which i know will be the bomb
Hi, My favourite song is ‘Buttercup’ by ‘Carl Anderson’
It was written & produced by Stevie Wonder. Was it ever recordrd by Stevie, as I think the track in question would be too dangerous for words if it was, and where can I get a copy ?
Also, I do a Soul music programme every sunday night here in the UK. What are the chances of getting an interview with the man over the phone ??
Dave Watts
Hi stevie..my boyfriend is a jazz musician, an amazing pianist in new york city. It is his dream to meet you. It is his birthday next week and I’d do whatever it takes to be able to introduce you two. Is there any way we can make that possible? Thank you! Kate
are the comments real??? they’re even more hilarious than the original aol chat! LMAO!
Hello Mr. Wonder. My name is Seymone and I am 16-years old. I will be a Sr. next year and am pursuing music, with special interests in keyboards. How nice it would be for you to be my instructer(smile).
Which books would you suggest for learning how to play the keyboards?
Thank you.

Hi Stevie, My name is Elia and I am 11 years old turning 12 this year. This year is my 8th year learning classical piano and I love it! I’m starting my last year of primary school this year and on the 1st of March I’m going for a music scholarship for the secondary school I want to go to. I think they will ask me who my favorite musician is so just out of respect for you I was just wondering if I could mention your name at my audition.
Hi! Stevie, my name is rana my salut to the great man and singer of the whole univers I love you so much I would like to know how do you feel about the new governor of new york ?I’m sure u r proud and happy and god is great.
Mr. Stevie Wonder,
I wanted so badly to see you at this years Taste of Chicago, but the person I was supposed to go w/ blew me off, so I tried so hard to find everyone I could to go w/ me? But I could not. I know me being a scared going down town by myself had a great, down fall on that. I know my brother about a week ago saw you and took a picture of you and his wife, when I saw that, I was so jealous of him, it hurt to see it? I do one day would like to meet you, and I how that would be posible?!?! Now I am showing my age here, but I do remember seeing you on the t.v. show like Beach Blaket Bingo, and I feel in love w/ your music then and I still do now!!!! I think you are such an insperation to all. You so do ROCK….Stevie do not give that up!!!

Dear Stevie,
I had the opportunity of seeing you at Acer Arena, Sydney, Australia.
At the beginning of the concert the feedback was so bad we couldn’t hear anything, the vocals were drowned out by the instruments. We saw the back up singers singing but heard nothing of their voices throughout the whole concert. Stevie appeared lack lustre and had no energy. On the whole after expecting something wonderful I was greatly disappointed.Didn’t anyone do a sound check? Maybe I should have seen him ten years ago before he became stale. Sorry, I was so looking forward to a good night out after I had been through an operation on both hands. My friends had paid for our tickets, and I believe they should be refunded, as the tickets weren,t cheap for your average punter.
The medleys of choruses left you wanting the whole song, not just bits of many. On the whole so disappointed, I have followed your music for years. I have many albums, maybe you should retire or take a holiday to reinvigorate your music.
I wonder if this will get to you
Hi Stevie Wonder! You are the most amazing artist ever. I love alll your songs. You are the best in the world!!!!!! When we had to do reports in history i choose you because i wanted to know more about you cause your great!!!! The teacher said that we get bonus points and i need them!!!! It would be great if you could come t my school but your probably to busy!!!!!
stevie i always wanted to meet you i love you and your song dont you worry about a thing got me through my teenage yrs i love you so much and i probably need to meet you i love you so much
I should have followed Denise Williams when she left Morgan State to sing with you back in the 70’s.You culd have saved money withe because Iam a fashion designer to, My dream is still to be a Wonder Girl and do a gig with you.I have been painfully teaching for 36 years. I will be 60 in October and still dream that I will meet you and I can finallgive you an outfit that I MADE BACK IN THE 70’S. You and your music has been constant in my life and gives me hope. You are remarkable! Thank you, Faith or Faithy
