Comments: The Happenings always created excellent recordings from the beginning. I am glad to see that legacy is still alive and well with Bob Miranda fielding a new Happenings group, and still recording and performing, after all these years. Keep it going, guys!

Your group was always one of my favorites and seeing and hearing you yesterday brought back so many incredible memories. I am so happy I found you again and now have a place to keep up with your activities. Love your new CD and thanks, to all of you, for signing it. Hope this is the beginning of many more memorable moments with "The Happenings". Love,

Comments: Dear Happenings:

Say you in Fairfield last night and sang my heart out again. You sound absolutely fabulous and on the mark! I danced to "See you in September" at my sweet 16 in 1966 and every time I hear it, it brings back all the wonderful memories of sweetness and innocence. Attend your concerts in the park, but seemed to really enjoy last night the most. I think because it was small and intimate and I was up close and personal. Also saw you at Villa Roma a couple of years ago. Keep going strong, you warm my heart with your sounds.

Regards....Marianne

Comments: I had a great time at the Bridgewater Concert(Duke Island Park). I agree with you guys about the atmosphere at park. It was much more personal. It's refreshing to see the Human side of professional entertainers.Your selection of music was wonderful. It really kept me bouncing in my seat.Chair Dancing is a great idea,especially when your partener is too embarassed to dance.My work and chronicly Ill son,keep me very busy, so I don't usually get a chance to go out and have fun but you made my 15th Wedding Anniversary very special, especially signing my original"I Got Rythym" record. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you all at another concert soon. Your music brings back so many fond memories of my childhood summers. By the way, you all still sound as good and fresh as the first time I heard you. Your voices haven't lost their quality.Thanks for a great evening.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I bought " See you in September " on a 45 back when it came out in 1966? I was 10 years old then. Loved it ever since. You all did a good job tonight. Liked all of your songs plus the Beach Boys and Four Seasons. Catch you next year where ever.

Comments: I went to see the concert on Sunday, August 19th at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater. It was a great show. After the show I picked up the new CD and had it autographed. All the guys were very cordial. The first time I saw the Happenings was in 1975 at the Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) prom when the Happenings opened for Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge. I hope the Happenings keep singing for a long time to come.

Comments: I have followed The Happenings for years and got into DooWop and 60's nostalgia very heavily 2 yrs. ago. I was delighted to find one of my top favoriteall time groups was indeed still going strong. The conceerts in the summer of 2000 were fantastic but by far the best concert we've seen this year has been the guys at Brookdale Park in Bloomfield. If anything the sound and voices are better, stronger and more clear than when we were teens.
The new Cd was better than anticipated. I would have bought it anyway but the Somewhere/Over the Rainbow medley is worth the price all by itself.
Keep it going especially here in NJ where we follow you to all the places we can drive to.
