P
Jason J. Parma (aka Zero the Hero)		It's not much but I hope it helps. It's fans like you that make fans like me proud. I am a frequent visitor to "The Highway Star" and have told all my friends that its the BEST rock and roll website I've ever seen. It's even better than "Achilles' Last Stand" and I'm a big Zep fan. Yet, I am still purple at heart. Good luck and keep truckin' down that Hard Road.
Ralph Pondman	Amsterdam, Netherlands
Rob Prior	Sydney, Australia	It's a pleasure to support such a fantastic website! Your email said " we will strive to do our best to live up to your expectations". Well, you consistently exceed my expectations! I urge everyone to donate whatever they can afford. A dollar a day is $30 per month, fifty cents per day is $15 per month, ten cents a day is $36.50 per year. What's it worth to you? C'mon, cough up!
Dariusz A. Przygoda	Mountain View, CA, USA	The Highway Star is an integral internet Institution for any Deep Purple fan. It would be terrible to see it fold. Hence, my little part in assisting your donor campaign.
R
Amit Roy	Appleton, WI, USA	Best wishes, and keep up the good work!
S
Ole Søllingvraa	Gudeup, Denmark
