Hi,
Just a quick note to thank you for the weekend. I'm an old
school recording engineer that has worked for Carole King, Peter
Cetera and Steve Miller to name a few. I can count great
singers on one hand that I've had the pleasure of working with
and the list of singers is much longer than the names above,
they just never made it to that 1 hand. I grew up knowing
your songs, but when you listen to the Albums (or CD's now, not
to mention the 8 tracks, and yes I had some) you do not get the
true representation of the performance that each artist gave for
that recording. You have now been placed, in my book, as one of
those singers that gets added to that one hand. There were
moments on Saturday night that you sent chills up my spine
(Somewhere Medley). I've been doing this 30 + years and I
don't get wowed about much anymore, I just mix and do what I do
with all of the tricks I've learned over the years and of course
I know when to use them and when NOT to.
The Eastside Cannery has it's little groupies that come to all
of the shows and I've gotten to know them (like ya do). So
I'm chatting with one of them after tonight's show and I asked
the question of which has been your favorite show in this room
so far. Now keeping in mind that she is a true blue
"Vogues" fan, being from the same town in PA as the
Vogues, however the response for her favorite show was
tonight's (Sat) performance with "The Happening's".
I truly hope our paths cross again.
until next time, safe travels
Randy Young

Caught your
show last nite at the East Side Cannery here in Vegas,
all I can say is "WOW". Living here I have
seen many of the "old" time greats and let me
assure you, for me, you rank up there on top with the
best. Many good wishes for the future and keep it
rolling for us old timers. |

Thank you for
helping out Saturday as the LAST MINUTE replacement for
Jimmy Beaumont and the Skyliners. YOU WERE FANTASTIC. My
husband has taught me to love Doo Wop but as you were on
stage, I had to whisper in his ear "At least I was
BORN, for these hits". The whole show was terrific,
Thank you again for filling in. |

Back in the
mid 60's our local college, booked the Happenings for
one of their events. My best friend lived right behind
the gym. We helped take in some gear and everyone was
very nice. The performance that night helped cement my
decision to become a musician. Thanks to the Beatles and
the Happenings I'm still playing today, some 40 years
later. Thank You and all the best. |

Saw you guys last night in Middletown, great show, Bob can still
hit the high notes.
I took my 19 year old daughter to see you. I explained how
your songs brought me back to a time where we would drive in
Harry's mother's Pontiac tempest with the top down and
sing I got Rhythm and See you in September. Harry's gone
now but for a few minutes last night I could almost feel him
next to me tapping the dashboard trying to keep a beat to your
songs.
Thanks

Still the BEST

As a former musician all you gentlemen are
"perfection personified". You deserve the
thunderous Standing Ovations you receive. |

08/30/09 - Private Party
Hi Bob,
I know you've exchanged emails with my Mom since my Dad's party,
but I just wanted to add my own thanks for such an amazing
event, and bookend this utterly spectacular chapter in my folks'
lives with the other email that started it all last April.
You guys really did make this party completely over the top, and
I (and the rest of my family and friends) cannot thank you
enough. With all of the busy-ness of day-to-day life and
seemingly incessant touring schedules, for you to take the time
to help us honor our Dad on his 70th birthday really meant more
to my sisters and me (and of course our Mom and Dad) than I
could possibly relate. As much as the phrase "the
time of their lives" is thrown around, it has never been
more true than that night, and, simply put, your being there
made it just that.
Suffice to say, I can assure you that it will go down in the
Robinson Family history as the most memorable event ever!
Thank You SO Much!!!
Cheers,
Jonathan Robinson
