Quotes:
"Fritz Was Wonderful! Great entertainment. I've heard nothing but Rave Reviews"
-- Katherine Juhl
Paine Art Center & Arboretum
Oshkosh, Wi
"It was Fascinating seeing and hearing him play..there is no doubt he knows a bunch of plucked stringed instruments, can tell about their history and play them nimbly. Schuler sat in a chair with the body of the banjo held in the angle of his crossed right leg-muting the sound so that the music blended with his mild mannered way. The concert was a reminder that we have some interesting folk artists in our midst. 3 1/2 stars out of 4
--Warren Gerds
Concert review
Green Bay Press-Gazette
"When Fritz Schuler plays an Old Time banjo tune or sings a long forgotten folksong or wraps his fingers around his guitar to coax out the blues, it comes not only from a man who knows the music but from one who loves it. Listening to Fritz is always a pleasure"
--Dan Keding
Sing Out! Magazine Columnist
"Wow! What a great Turn-out we had. The Program was educational, entertaining, and extremely enjoyable. You ARE a folk historian! It was great to hear the stories behind the music and the tidbits of information you had to share as part of your program. The response from the audience was very positive, and it was a great afternoon,"

"..a sincere "thanks" for all you personally did to make the Midwest Kodaly Music Educators of America Conference such a success. I am still hearing good comments about your sessions. Your special brand of expertise was most welcomed. You are deeply appreciated."
Sister Lorna Zempke

“Being Wisconsin's Walking Folk Encyclopedia is probably the least you've done. .I think more than that you are our major link to the (folk) revival. Your contributions (to folk music) probably are more significant than any other single person (in Wisconsin) As a performer, I appreciate your commitment to the continued performance of traditional music and especially of an informed and educated performance. Your talents and abilities are obvious; it is your affection and respect for traditional music that makes your performances so compelling to me.
