      Creator R Peter Wilcox on July 20, 2012

      I demand a refund of the portion of my $325 donation that was for the private concert. I have no interest in the Hugs without Patrick in it. I will accept $225 and call it good. Peter

      Creator Bridget on July 18, 2012

      Looking forward to hearing this album because the hugs will never be this good again without great guitar player, Patrick And Drummer, Mitch

      Creator The Hugs on July 17, 2012

      We're not bad people. The chemistry wasn't jiving and we were all unhappy playing together.

      We've moved on with new members. It's better for Patrick to write, sing and record his own music past this album he has done with The Hugs. It's for the best. Don't feel ripped off. It's about the music created together. You pledged for us to make an album. We did. Thank you.

      Creator Rosemary Bayer on July 17, 2012

      We are appalled at you forcing Patrick out of the band, after all his work, songwriting, performing, and the funds he raised from family and friends. We feel ripped off (BEWARE any involvement with this group) and have no confidence in this group, its music without Patrick, or its future in general.
