What a fun night at Odyssey! Thanks for letting us sit with you, Sue, Ginger, JoAnn, etc.! Maybe we can Email you girls through StingRays' Email and let you know if we're coming! It was great talking to you about the Beatles and Monkees, Frank and little bit Danny and Ron! Oh, great meeting your parents, too, Ron! We'll think about Greco's, but we'll mostly see you at the outside concerts and "Fests" (finally that time again)!!

A StingRay sharing a birthday with one of the "Turtles"? Wow! Maybe we can find out who when we see you at the Odyssey on Friday, the 9th! Ki's sounded good, but we have to try Odyssey (formerly Jonathan's)! We're glad they still have entertainment and hired you!

Just letting you guys know again how much fun we had at the "beautiful and spacious" Finley's Grill Room! We especially liked that the show marked the 50th anniversary of Bill Haley & the Comets' "Rock Around the Clock"! Also, that you had more room to go in the audience again.

Looking forward to summer nights at Greco's! You guys are the best.

Hi Guys! It was different hearing the "virtual interview" with Frank R. talking about "Across the Universe". We saw it and liked it, but the songs surely weren't sung like the Beatles. We'll talk more. We hope to see you at Manhattan's later this month! Early Happy Easter and late "Happy St. Paddy's Day"!

Hi Ron;
It was a pleasure meeting you for the first time at Rolling Lanes in Countryside. You guys are just great!! Hope to see you guys soon.

Dear Franks, Danny, and Ron,
I Think of you guys often and I love your concerts. I hope that you can write back to me. I love you guys so much. Keep up the good work!

HEY FRANK R.
Just wanted to take the time to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and hope you have many more. See you all sometime soon.

Sorry this is late, but just to let you know again that we enjoyed your "pre-Valentine" Show at Finley's on Friday, the 8th! It's always "awesome" that you guys (and girls Sue, Ginger, and Ron's wife-we keep forgetting names) talk to us!

Great show at Manhattan's as usual, thanks for letting us (Meteors) play a couple of songs, Always great to see you guys...

Awesome show yesterday at Rolling Lanes in Countryside! We do like the new songs, and thanks for letting us win the Twist contest again. We have won the "Peace" necklaces before. Oh, by the way, did you guys and fans hear-Phil saw his shadow, so maybe winter will be around for a while. Although, the other groundhog in Georgia(?) DIDN'T. So...we'll see..

I hope you have a great New Year! Rock On

The Pre-New Year's Eve Party at Finley's Grill Room yesterday was fun as usual, and you're just as funny, Frank and Danny! (just kickin' back-remember the instrumental song?)! It was a pleasure sitting with you, Sue, and great talking to you Ron, and Frank D. also at our table!! We kind of take a hiatus in January, too! So that's fine with us! (looking over your schedule).

Merry Christmas & happy & healthy new year to all of you & your families.....
P.S. When r u ever coming to Tinley Park Areas?????????????? We Southwestern folks need your music here too! See u soon????????

Hey Ron,
We're glad to hear of your full time status with the "Rays"! We're not sure if we'll come this Friday, but will be at one of the Christmas shows! We did enjoy the "Thanksgiving Eve Bash" on Wednesday, the 21st! Thanks for talking with us when you could, individually!

We're excited about seeing you tomorrow night (Wednesday-Thanksgiving Eve)! We've seen you over the summer a number of times, but have never thought to sign the guestbook. We're the short and tall couple. We'll hopefully be able to talk to you more tomorrow.

Saturday night in Lemont was a typically great show, and Dwight and I appreciate the anniversary greetings.

StingRays, thank you for an exciting show on Saturday. I had the time of my life. And may I add, I was really enjoying the swarthy bearded look you all were sporting.

I had a lot of fun at the Halloween party, you are are always great!!! I love you all. nice pictures. ( the other little red riding hood )

Thanks for a great night of entertainment at the Lombard Cruise Nights! You guys ROCK!!!!

Hey Guys, Wanted to say thank you for playing at Joe and JoAnn's wedding. You all put the perfect final touch on the day. It was great spending time with so many of our friends. Keep on Rockin. You are number one in our book. See you all soon.

We'd like to thank the band for making our wedding so much fun for us and all of the guests at our wedding on 7/7/07. Having been a musician in the Chicago area for many years, I highly recommend these guys for any private function you may be planning over any other group in the vicinity.
Thank you all very, very much! All our best,

Great Taste of Lombard Show!

I got the postcard from you in the mail. My boyfriend and I are dedicated fans of yours. We appreciate that you're still rocking and rolling!!!

Hi, this is Jacki... and I'm doing research on you guys for school, but I cant find anything about you four, and there is a lot of stuff I need to know. And your music makes me laugh! :] so you should email me back, to tell me if i am able to find any information about you guys!

Hello my name is Stefanie and I'm a great friend of Mary Liz who just happens to love your band and music. We can't wait until next Friday at Manhattan's.
She may even Bug you a bit too.

Just want let you all know how good it was to get and see you play at Chambers last night. You even let me play a coupla songs !!! You sounded great!! I think the world of all of you. Keep rockin & see you soon. All the best.

Hey Guys,
I ate at the original Vito & Nicks years ago when I was a kid. It was somewhere on the south side around 79th or Southwest Hwy and I fell in love with that thin crust pizza. When I saw Vito & Nicks on the schedule the last time you played there all I could think about was I hope it's the same Vito & Nicks. I could not wait to try it out. It was as good as I remembered. So needless to say I cannot wait to get back there. Of course, with you guys playing, it just makes it that much better. Can't wait for the thin crust pizza and for "our boys" to take center stage.

New Year's Eve was great. I just love rockin' to the oldies. My friends and I had a real good time. Thanx Stingrays for making my 2007 come in with a bang.

StingRays fans can always find ways to share the room and the floor. If not we just invent our own areas. Leaving no stone or space unturned when it comes to dancing with great music and great friends. We loved spending the night with all of you. See you all soon to party the night away.

Sure had fun on Thanksgiving Eve. JoAnn and I are really looking forward to spending our New Years at Manhattan's with all of you...it should be a riot! See you soon...

Dear StingRays,
A group of us thoroughly enjoyed the evening with you at Ernie McCann's on Friday night! (Unfortunately, we couldn't stay late.) We would love to know if you are planning to be there again in the months to come. We'll plan to stay until the bitter end and bring more friends!!!
Thanks,

Hey, great Halloween Concert at Manhattan's in Carol Stream IL last Saturday

Just a big thank you for making the Lena Fall Festival such a big hit. Our family not only enjoyed your great music and talent, but we thank you for involving the children in the audience in your act. It was truly good wholesome family entertainment enjoyed by all. Please come back and see us again.
P.S. Your wives are good ambassadors for you.

You guys are sensational. Thanks for the great sounds, the great memories, and the excellent virtuosity you provided! Best wishes.

We loved seeing and hearing you at Heart for Hollie and think you guys (and one girl) are the greatest
Love and God bless,

Thank-you so much for the fun and great music at Greco's. We had a wonderful time and so did our friends. The pictures Sue took and posted on your website prove what a great time we had. A big thanks for the Happy Birthday you sang to Theresa! Looking forward to hearing you soon! Thanks again.

Hello to my favorite band in the world! I will most likely be seeing you guys at Woodhaven! Kyle is having Stingray withdrawals!!! We'll see you soon.

Hey, it's summer: you know what that means??!! Music in the park concerts. Had a ball in Niles last week, loved those red shirts. Looking forward to lots of shows this summer.

I have to tell ya, I really love your advertisements. Just read the one for the fish fry on Friday. My compliments to the writer of the Stingrays. I love your creativeness. Sorry I haven’t been out to see you guys. I hope to soon, really.
Love,

Hey Stingrays, Thanks for the tribute to Bob Sinofsky and thanks to Sue and Ron for sending me that great pic of Me and BOB. That's the way to remember him, smiling, having a good time, listening to a great band. Hope to see ya'll soon, Love,
Lady DI

Seen you guys twice now. Once at manhattans and once at Scuddlebutts. We love your music selection as well as your talent. Hearing songs by Herman's Hermits, Gary Lewis, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Searchers is great. I also had the honor of winning a "fabulous StingRay prize"!!! Keep it going. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hey... Do These Guys Ever Come Out To The South Suburbs? That's were I saw them the 1st time! They're Great!

I can't wait till ya get back to Rolling Lanes! Luv Ya!

Dear StingRays!!
We attended the Alzheimer's Benefit on Saturday and wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your show. We have seen you several times at our St. Charles "Concerts in the Park" and really looked forward to being well entertained. You did not disappoint!
Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

Surfing thru internet for oldies music found yours. Love the sound great stuff can't wait for compact disc to get here.

Hi StingRays,
Just wanted to let you know that I think it is very generous of your group to perform for the benefit of this cause. The disease is a terrible one that touched my family also. Hope to be able to attend. The StingRays continue to provide, fun wholesome entertainment and great music that myself and many others will always continue to enjoy.
Best to all

Hey you guys!
Not only do you rock.... but you are some of the sweetest guys I know. See you soon. Love,

Merry Christmas to the band and your families. May God bless you all with happy and safe holidays!

It was great seeing you guys and ladies earlier this month at Border Books. Hope to catch you playing soon. Take care.
PS... Love that archived picture of "ladies night out!"

My husband and I saw your band over the weekend Sat. 11/5/05. We came late to Skuddlebutts in Downers Grove, IL. We were touched by how friendly the band member with the blonde hair was. He gave me a "grabber". We laughed over that. I also danced one dance with a woman by the name of Sue. I take it, the group knows the band well! We had a wonderful time! Wish we would have come earlier in the evening. We have seen the StingRays at the Manhattan bar and grill also. We will see you again! Thanks for going out of your way to make two strangers comfortable.

I luv your Halloween pics... everyone looks great I'm sooo sorry I missed it...You're a lot of fun....all of you...hope to see ya soon!
Luv, Debbers

Love you guys but don't you ever have any gigs in the north or northwest burbs?

You guys look great in your costumes!!

Dwight and I had a great time on 9/17 traveling down to Milan, IL to see you. You guys are worth the trip. The weather was great and so was the crowd. See ya soon a little closer to home.

Great site, guys!

Would love to be on your email list for upcoming events.
You guys are great!

As the summer is coming to an end - we've had the BEST OF TIMES with the Stingrays and the great group of people who we have enjoyed all the outdoor fests with and have shared those "precious 2:30 to 4:30am moments" at one of the all- night restaurants after the gigs. WHAT FUN! But we only have more and exciting times to look forward to... GUYS, KEEP ROCKIN' - YOU ARE THE BEST! Kudos to Sue for the great pics on this site. They really "capture" the magic!!!
Love ya all!

I saw you perform last night and YOU ARE ALL GREAT!!! Looking fwd to Festival of the Vine.

GREAT MUSIC
Hey guys, I saw you in Carol Stream you all played with the “Neverly Brothers” what a great sound you have. I am truly a lover of all the oldies my parents turned me on to. I see you're playing at Manhattan’s on Friday it is around the corner from me I would love to meet you. I will bring some of my crazy friends. Rock on!

Hey guys! I had a great time at Elmfest and I look forward to seeing you play this summer. Sorry I did not stick around for the whole show but I am glad I won the twist contest. Loved the beads by the way. Take care and hope to see you soon!

Hey you sold the Willowbrook Ballroom out - NO tickets left - not even at the door
Great job

It was great to see you at Skuddlebutts last Saturday night, especially so close to home. Hope it will be a new place for a long time. Thanks for helping to celebrate Dwight's 60th birthday, it was fun. Almost time for summer and all the outdoor fests.
KEEP ROCKIN'

It was great seeing you guys again at Skuddlebutts Sat. night. Had a great time... as always. See you again soon!
KEEP ON ROCKIN'

Dear StingRays - Enjoyed the pictures. You're right, life has become too hectic and stressful. After a long work week, you guys are a sure cure. I've enjoyed and continue to enjoy your music since I first learned about your group years ago at Rookies. It brings back many memories with terrific songs. It's not just the music, it's also the fun of listening to your commentaries during your performances. Don't forget to put "I've Had It" by the Bellnotes on your to do list! It was kind of a forgotten oldie that was a hit in 1959. It's often how I feel on Friday afternoon. I continue to look forward to listening and relaxing to your music. Hope to see you guys soon.
A devoted StingRay enthusiast, Bruce

Hi Frank! We had a BLAST (favorite expression of Ron's) on Saturday night!! Congratulations on packing the house! I hope it leads to many more. You guys sounded great and are always a lot of fun! Always good to see some band guests add support (Danny & Mark) See you Friday.

Every time I see you guys, you get better! Does that mean you started out lousy? LOL Just kidding....Keep playin' the good stuff guys.. hey Ron, can't wait to see that old Ford of yours. Love those hats Frank....See you guy's at Skuddlebutts in Downers Grove very soon...Be well fellas....

Nice looking t-shirts! We appreciate the availability of 2-X sizes, and we hope you'll consider making the classic logo t-shirts available in aqua blue with white lettering, not just white shirts with black lettering. Thanks, and Happy New Year.

Hi, Guys and Frank the keyboard player, it was fun listening to you guys. My friends and I really enjoyed your group and we will be coming to Manhattans to hear your band once again. You are nice and cute, Sincerely,

You guys are fantastic! I loved the show! Your showmanship was amazing and the music was even better! WOW. Tell the "Blues Brothers" to move over... Here come the Sting Rays! Did I mention that Kyle rocks? My nephew, Tyler has found a new hero!

Hi. Thank you so much for your lively, fun show in Fairfield. I travel to Illinois occasionally and will definitely check you out should you be performing close by. Please put me on your e-mail list.

Thanks for coming to Fairfield, Iowa. That was exactly what we needed. At least half the audience was right up front dancing. I loved the songs and the way you played and sang them. Great interaction with the audience. The music went great with the car show. Please come again some time!

HI GUYS! Hey what a really fun night back at the Manhattan Club. This is by far the best place to see you play. I will try the food next time I am there. Will try to make another show soon. Take care guys!

The guy on the keyboard is kind of cute.

Just wanted to tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed your show at the Odon Old Settlers. You put on a really good show. We hope that one day you'll be back down here again. Wishing you the best of luck.

Hey, it's about time you all got a guest book!!! It was great seeing you in McHenry on Sunday, it's always great to see you. Mark did a great job on keyboards, hope Frank is having a good time and returns soon.

I have your two CD's -- "Electric Sea" and "Walk The Plank" and just wanted to tell you how great they are. We listen to them when we are driving in our car. You guys are terrific. We enjoyed seeing you at Palos Fest. Keep on rockin' and rolling.

Being a true "child of the 50's", I've gotta tell you your rendition of Booker T & the Mg's "Time Is Tight" was as if you were listening to the original recording! Looked up your schedule... My wife and our neighbors will be there! Thanks.

We watched and participated in your performance in Chicago at our ILRLCA Family Night in July 2003 - you were superb! I read all your emails so I know where you are performing and although we haven't made it yet, we will never forget you, and hope someday to be able to make a show. You are absolutely fabulous! Keep up the great music.

As a photographer that shoots a lot of the bands in the Chicago area I have to say when I just want to go out and relax and enjoy a great band I can think of no other band that I like to go out and see. The StingRays put on a great show and sing all of the classic hits I enjoy. I wish them all the best and I highly recommend them as a band that one must see. Keep up the great work.

Hi....great to hear from u....enjoyed ur show at the Palos Hills Fest. Tks for treating us to a great concert which in turn made for a fun evening. Looking forward to seeing ur group again soon. Take Care,

I have been following you for several years and always look forward to seeing you. I always wondered, who has more fun, you guys when you play, or the people watching! Guess it is a toss up! Keep having fun! Hugs!
