Click Here to read a Thank You Letter to Leo from The Links, Inc.
"Seeing Leo Casino in performance brings back something from time.
There are not many featured folks in the music industry today who might be considered original. There are few who both compose and play their own music anymore. Even most of today's "stars" give only the ambiance of factory production. Leo Casino is an original. He gives his own compositions, delivered in his own more than just professional style of music playing. He's worth the night out, and lasts in memory. His sax plays past the long night."

"Dear Mr. Leo, Thank you for our own private music from you. It was very beautiful and it touched my heart along with your words. I am going to give your website more attention this evening. So far, it is lovely and you have quite a bit of reading for me to do. We want to thank you for making our evening something to remember and we hope to see you soon and be able to sit and listen to you perform. If you have time to answer this email, will you please let us know if your schedule has changed so that we can make sure you are performing when we come there again.
Sincerely,
Linda Consiglio
"Hello Leo,
Looking forward to met you again this evening.
And
Thank you, the plight of unloved children and caring of them is very moving. In the same spirit is the Ambassadors of Peace for which we are nominating you. Ambassadors of Peace."
God Bless You and Your Works,

Subject: You are a DREAM SUPREME!
"Leo
Thanks again so much for your great participation at the Miami Beach Cinematheque with Dream Supreme and company!
It was a wonderful night, and we always love and appreciate your work, energy, talents, and now your new "platform of love" for President of the United States!
You are a man of many talents, and an inspiration for everyone around you!
It was also great to see the world class performer Maryel do her things so well at MBC, and to see that cat Hood surprise us all with what he can also do onstage.
It was an honor to have the rare trio of you three perform together, along with your other friends.
(What is your address, so I can send you a check?)
Hope to see you soon again at MBC. Looking forward to the next Leo Casino night!
PS. Don't forget about Norma Miller and The Queen Of Swing September 15, Saturday! You and your performing partners are all welcome as our guests that night.
You are the best!"

"I just reread Return To The Hill and your bio.You are and will be so
much more to
young blacks than one of the worlds best dressed men.You looked perfect
in a blue shirt when setting up your equipment,and then you
changed.That is packaging and so very important but your messages are
so much more.Do you get grants for films?"

"Hi Leo,
How are you? Fine I hope. I finally seen the documentary and it was FANTASTIC. I sincerely apologize for not being able to find it in my (messed up office) but it is there.
The whole film was spectular from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the part of you revisiting your home and the memorial service you had for your sister. That was very touching.
Seeing you at the jail with most of the cats I knew was funny (sorry). I seen one of the inmates you interviewed out on the street and he hasn't changed at all, but I hope and pray that everyone else has."
Peace,

"Leo,
Thank you for sharing a copy of your DVD "Return To The Hill". It was
compelling indeed! There is so much hurt in the world it can seem
daunting. Thank you for your heart and efforts for those who are in such
great need.
I am encouraged to share with you the work of a man whom I have met and
worked with and who may be able to help you in your efforts in Philadelphia.
He is Robert L Woodson Sr., Founder of the Center For Neighborhood
Enterprise. (www.cneonline.org) This is a wonderful faith-based,
grass roots organization. Its mission (among other things) is to bring hope
to and find ways of creating enterprise in depressed and stricken urban
areas. I suspect you and he would have much in common.
Perhaps there is an alignment of efforts and a joining of forces that can
bring a helpful boost to your goals.
Though my work with him and the CNE was a while back I know how to connect
with their PR person and I would be happy to arrange a contact.
Again, thanks for your wonderful labors and dedication to your talents which
made such an enjoyable time of my wife's 50th birthday celebration.
... so many blessings,"

"Dear Leo Casino :
On behalf of Marlon Moore, Executive Producer of the “MANTRA International World Music Festival 2007, a multi-cultural world music, art and dance festival in the heart of Downtown Miami, Florida-USA;
I would like to thank you for your wonderful performance during our Mantra International World Music Festival 2007, on February 10th, 2007 at the Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant in Miami, Florida.

"Dear Dr. Leo Casino,
I am grateful that you are interested in helping us with the Black Student Union Conference. I would like to know if you would be interested in being a keynote speaker for our conference on Saturday February 24, 2007. We would be honored to have you join the Reverend Al Sharpton, Dr. Lisa Delpit and Bishop Victor T. Curry as Keynote speakers for our conference on "Empowerment: Seaching and Finding Solutions". We are extremely excited about the conference because of the great people that we have involved with it.
The Black Student Union is not a new organization on Florida International University's campus. It was the second student organization founded on the campus of Florida International University. After being none active for several years it was revived by two members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. The first student organization of any kind at FIU was Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Lambda Tau chapter. Phi Beta Sigma is proud to be the sponsor of this years conference and it is important to us that the conference be a success so that we can show that our black students and communities are continuing in the traditions set by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Edward Waters, Ralph Bunche, and others.
As a proud member of both organizations I have been privileged to have the opportunity to chair the workshops and speakers committee. In my personal opinion it is the quality of speakers that will make this a memorable conference and really allow us to accomplish or goals of searching and finding solutions for issues affecting the black community and maybe most importantly empowering the next generation of leaders.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (305)-338-2143, or by email at aia85@aol.com. We hope that you will be able to make this wonderful event."
Sincerely,
Audric Adger
