Thank you so much for this wonderful web site. I want you to know that I saw Jersey Boys on Wednesday night and it was absolutely great! I am 57 years old, but I did not grow up a Rock and Roll fan. I was always into Sinatra, Crosby , Ella and such, but for some reason I loved the Four Seasons. In fact, I remember the summer of 1964 and all you heard was Rag Doll, my favorite. I had the pleasure of meeting Nicky, your brother at a Knicks game (I was the trainer of the Knicks for 27 years) and he said that Rag Doll was also the favorite of your Dad's.
I hope you and your family are well and please send my best to Nicky.
God Bless, Mike Saunders | | | | | |

I was lucky to see Frankie Vallie play at the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne Australia when I was 21 and it was like hearing the songs on the radio. It was my first concert and I was thrilled to have been there.
I have been to see the Jersey Boys twice in Melbourne and I'm about to go along for a 3rd time with my 9 year old daughter who is so excited about the play. She loves hearing their songs almost 50 years after their creation. Wow!
The Four Seasons are touching my generation and the next. What a talent they were! Each of them had a special talent and together, they complemented each other to form a star performance in the 60s.
Nick made a major contribution to this talented line up. Many thanks for providing me with such fond memories of my childhood listening to The Four Seasons. They always be one of favourites. | | | | | |

I was fortunate enough to see them perform live early in 1965 at the Ocean Ice Palace in Brick, N.J.. I couldn't afford a ticket, but during the last 15 minutes of the show, they let anybody walk in to see the final last performance, which was " Cry Myself To Sleep".I have always regarded the Seasons as my all time favorite group. The close harmonies were perfect and I know your Dad was responsible for their unique sound. Ever since "Sherry" debuted, I couldn't wait to hear what the next Four Seasons song was going to hit the charts. That went on all through the sixties until my adulthood. I still followed the group and saw them many times as well, but the sound just wasn't the same after Nick left. When I heard about his passing, I felt the same way when I heard about the death of John Lennon. No group can ever duplicate the sound of the original Four Seasons. God Bless. | | | | | |

Sherry was out when I was really starting to get interested in girls. All the songs made all the memories come back. Thank you for the terrific website Patti. I think people my age will have a renewed appreciation of your dad and the other 3 Seasons. God Bless you Patti. | | | | | |

My friend and I waited for them to appear locally and saw them many time at the long defunct Freedomland in the Bronx, NY. I attended so many concerts with my friend Donna that the group recognized us as we squirmed our way to the front of the audience (no seats!). Thanks for sharing your family memories.
