Comments: Last night concert was by far the best I have ever seen by The Group.
There was an electricity there last night like I have never seen. The emotion was incredible. The voice sounds spectacular. Yes, Tommy as well as everyone else was super.
No disrespect to all the lead singers you have had but Tommy voice is so overpowering it was amazing. May the music live TILL THE END OF TIME.
God bless the group.

Comments: Thank you for a great concert at Duke Island Park. You guys are such pros. You looked like a million dollars in your Tuxs and you sounded that way too. A lot of us are grateful that the group did not break up over the loss of one member. After all, you are part of history and hopefully will continue as a group for many years.
Tom is great and does an excellent job on all Duprees classics and everything else. It had to be fate or an act of God that it worked out this way.
What was clear in the Bridgewater show was what a lot of us always admired about the Duprees - - that you are not a one man group, but that each guy is talented in his own right. Like the Jackie Wilson part which was a show stopper - priceless MC leadership and humor - Jims cavorting around - the whole package is first class.
You guys look so happy and fun loving - even with the fans after the show.

And as for Lou Christi....YO...what a performance !
Only one thing, Lou doesn't even come close to Phil Granito doin' Jackie Wilson !!!.
And by the way, Tommy Petillo is doin' a great job !!!

As usual you did not disappoint us at Windward Beach. I know I've said this before but you are the ultimate professionals. Sorry we cannot make A.C., but we will be at Oak Glen Park in Howell next Saturday the 24th and shooting for Old Mill Inn in November. Please accept our thanks for a wonderful show. Everyone thought a new lead singer would make a difference, but be assured as a fan and lover of your music, it didn't. Tommy was magnificent.

your "thing"? You all look so good. Nothing better than four georgeous Italian men and with your singing you
just "send" us. We don't know which is
better, your looks, singing, and your
friendliness, but the combination works.
We consider ourselves your "groupies",
and enjoy every minute of it. We are
sure we will be at Fasola Park to enjoy
all of you again. By the way, Phil, you
said you recoginzed the face but did not
know the name. It is Randi. Thank you
for signing my pictures from Margate.
Thomasina is saying HELLO TO TONY. Jimmy, we missed your split last night. You had a nice big stage for it.
Your free concerts are too good to be true. We can't stop writing this but I guess we should give someone else a chance to repeat what we are saying. Hope to see you at Fasola Park. Stay well. God Bless. Love ya.

Tony and Jimmy were terrific as usual, and Phil outdid himself again (thanks for waving to us like you promised). Hope you made it to A.C. in time, but wished you could have stayed with us longer!! Will probably see you in Howell, and then at the Old Mill in November. I think we're finally the "groupies" that we never were years ago. Could listen to you every night. See you soon, keep on singing and keeping us young.

She is still talking about how you sang "Love Eyes" to her and gave her the bear for her birthday. She loves you guys almost as much as Tracey and I do (only because she is only 7.) Every time she comes to my house she asks me to play Love Eyes for her. I was so thrilled that you took her up on stage with you. This is a birthday she will treasure for the rest of her life and I will be there to remember it with her. Thanks again with all my heart and soul.
