Well, this is different this year-having an extra "New Year's Eve celebration" on the 2nd! We have plans on the actual eve, but have planned on this Saturday with our friends, Carol and Jack! So Happy New Year early; and see you post-New Year's Day!

Wishing you all the BEST that 2010 can bring. Happy Holidays from The Meteors.

Happy Holidays to a great group of guys, wonderful musicians and entertainers. Good luck in 2010, and by the way, thanks for letting us use Frank as a guest performer on occasions - he always does a great job!

Welcome home boys! We missed you this weekend. I am sure you rocked the house in South Dakota.

Sorry this is late (busy with "Christmas stuff"; plus we needed to get a new computer)! Great Christmas Show at Rolling Lanes on Friday, the 4th!! As Joann said, we enjoyed how you incorporated Xmas themes into the rock songs! The one by the Ventures was the actual instrumental, if we remember correctly - "Sleigh Ride"!? Merry Christmas guys and girls (nice talking to you, too)!

Great show last night boys! Especially enjoyed Danny inserting Christmas riffs in his guitar solos. How original. Enjoy your Christmas Holiday and we will see you on New Year's Eve! Rock on Boys.

Great "Thanksgiving Eve" show at Manhattan's! Nice talking to you guys and gals and fans! Awesome song selection-you know our favorites - "Imagine" by "Beatle Mark" (aka John Lennon)!, "Rock Around the Clock" and maybe a few other new ones that we can't remember! We're glad we could answer the trivia question and got all the "goodies" for the "FABULOUS STINGRAY PRIZE"! (Thanks Danny)! Hope you had a good holiday with your close family and friends yesterday (Thanksgiving)!

Hi guys, Best wishes from The Meteors for a healthy and Happy Thanksgiving.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving boys.

I am soooo looking forward to catching your riffs. Your soundtracks are great. Hope to be there in Dec.
Great work guys.

Great pictures of the Halloween shows! Thanks for sending them via Email to all us fans! Thanks You so much for dedicating the song "Little Red Riding Hood" to us, even though we weren't looking for it! Great costumes all around, but especially JoAnn as Tinkerbell (thanks for talking to us) and Sue as a witch! Fun party-glad we made it this year!

We love the "Spooky" Halloween front page, with Wizard of Oz characters and the beatle on the right (John)! Looking forward to the Halloween Party on Saturday!

I am so looking forward to seeing you at the lanes this friday! I am finally off work!!!! see ya soon!

WOW! What a beautiful and fun afternoon yesterday at the Festival of the Vine in Geneva! Chuck will be able to use the football clapper (the FABULOUS STING RAY PRIZE) when he goes with the guys to the BEARS football game next week! It was great being able to talk to all of you guys at some point during the show (the gals and fans, also!)

Just letting you know how much fun we had at the Westchester Cruise Night! Kudos to Bruce on both his guitar playing and vocal solos (He caught Barb giving him the "thumbs up")! It was great talking to all of you and the gals/fans again; and that was awesome and hilarious when you sat on my (Barb's) lap, Frank, with one of the songs, which I can't remember!

Thanks again, guys, for a fun night at Greco's on Friday night! Great talking to all of you and a little hello to Mark, and the "gals"! A Big Thank You again, for performing the "Happy Birthday" song, mentioning my (Barb's) name! Great having Mark to sing "Imagine" and others; and great set list, including "Matchbox"!

Came out to support Tom, but really enjoyed all your great music... a really nice bunch of guys and their girls!

thanks for asking me to sub with you guy this weekend... I had a great time... all a pleasure to see you guys have a great summer... Tom

Another great weekend with the Stingrays. Friday at the Empress was a hoot and what a surprise to see Tom Rychter of The Meteors with you at Manhattans. Keep rocking boys!!!!

Just wanted to Thank You again for the Anniversary wishes you gave us yesterday in Villa Park! Great songs, especially "the classics" like "Rock Around the Clock" and the Beatles like "Hold Her Tight", and many other favorites (you kind of remember what they are)! It was nice seeing and talking to you Sue, Ginger, and JoAnne, and the other fans! It was great saying hello, Ron, in the audience, then Danny in the break, and waving to you before the show, and saying bye to you Frank, and meeting you, Bruce, after the show!

The group sounded great with Mark at Ki's, had a nice time... always nice to see you guys...

Hey guys, I was at your performance for Morris's Nostalgia Days on 6-26-09. I was really impressed with your musicianship, vocals, sound mix, and song repertoire. You guys are the real deal. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Just wanted to let you know how we enjoyed your show yesterday, your first show of the month , and first show at Greco's this year! We liked the variety of music in each set; from Bill Haley & the Comets to Beatles, which included Mark singing the ones you don't usually do-"photograph" (Ringo Starr) and "Imagine" (John Lennon); and Elton John's "Your Song". Also, I was glad I researched the Ventures' back in May to answer the question which state they came from (Washington)! I think I remember the city was Tacoma? Correct me (Barb) if I'm wrong, but I was glad to get the backscratcher for the "Fabulous StingRay Prize"! It was awesome talking to all of you guys and gals and other fans! It was especially neat, Danny, seeing you in the car in the parking lot when we were arriving before the show!

Wow! Nokie Edwards from the Ventures' Birthday? We will be there at Manhattan's on Saturday!

Sorry we couldn't make Rolling Lanes on Friday. But are glad to see the next date will be on John Lennon's birthday, no less! (October 9th)! We will definitely try to plan on that!

Great show at Rolling Lanes last night. How awesome the whole bar was singing Margaritaville with you guys. Special guest "Beatle Mark" was an added surprise and it sounded like you all have been playing together for years. Keep rocking!

Looking forward to the 24th at the Lanes! See ya all there!

HAPPY EASTER, guys and gals! Just letting you know we had a good time at Chambers, too! We hope to see you soon, also! We're glad to see the SUMMER dates up! Looking forward to GRECO'S and outdoor concerts!

Hi StingRays!
Just wanted to say Happy Easter to you and yours. Looking forward to catching a show real soon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, guys and gals (early)! Sorry we can't make the show tomorrow (Saturday). We have a St. Pat's/St. Joe's Dance at our church, in which Chuck is a member of the group putting it on. We MAY get to the show at Chambers on the 27th, though!

Hey guys! Just letting you know we're glad we celebrated Frank R.'s birthday at Ki's on Friday, the 27th! We especially enjoyed the Beatle's songs; the "classic" instrumentals; Ricky Nelson; and swing-dancing-friendly songs "Route 66" and "Rock Around the Clock"! Nice seeing the "gals" too!

Great show at the Grape Restaurant, nice to see you guys out and playing again, New songs were great... and the wives/girlfriends were gracious as always, hope you have a great year.

Welcome back! Great show at the new club Grape last night. The new songs are awesome. You boys are looking and sounding better all the time. Rock on!

We (along with our friends, Carol & Jack) are glad we spent Valentine's Day with you guys at Manhattan's yesterday! Besides the good food, your song selection was great and we had fun dancing (when there was room)! We especially enjoyed the Beatle's "Come Together"' Peter Noon's "I'm Into Something Good" and Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me"! Carol especially liked the Ricky Nelson songs. It was great seeing you, Frank R., before the show, and talking to you, Danny & Ron later on! It was also nice talking to you a little bit, Ginger and Ron's sister, and, of course, Sue! Thanks for the "Hannah Montana" Valentine w/candy! We'll have to think of getting more for "the girls" too, next year! We loved your "fancier" attire (white shirts and red ties) for, we assume, the holiday!?

Hey, guys and girls, it turns out we'll be seeing you sooner than Rolling Lanes on the 20th -- at Manhattan's for Valentine's Day! Our original plans changed, and we thought "what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day"?!

Hi Guys (and gals), I received my Fabulous StingRays cds. I am enjoying the music anticipating the live show on Valentines Day. Soon, soon!

I'm having Stingray withdrawals !!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,
This is Howard and family from the Howardpalooza benefit you played on the 18th.
We just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all your contributions to making the evening a great success. The selfless donations of your time and efforts are greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. From our entire family, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you SO VERY, VERY, MUCH for donating your time, equipment, and helping out to make the fundraiser for Howard and Robyn a complete success on 1/18/09 at Manhattans. You have no idea how much it meant to me and so many others to have you there and share in the fun, excitement and friendship of the evening! THANK YOU AGAIN for all of your help and support!

Looking forward to another fun year!!! Thanks Guys!

Your New Years Party was GREAT! I'm still thinking about the fun I had! When are you coming back to Chambers? Do you have a current schedule yet? If so, please post it, thanks!

We've enjoyed celebrating with you in 2008 and look forward to new songs and good times in 2009! Art would like to hear more Dave Clark 5 tunes. Love you guys.

Hey, guys and girls-we wanted to formally wish you a (late) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (the chocolates were a gift for Christmas)! Wow-it's great seeing some wishes from other local groups (the Meteors, Renditions, etc.)! Our friends, Carol and Jack Birk, said they had a good time at your New Year's Eve Show! Sorry we didn't make it-but we will see you in February! (Right now we're thinking Rolling Lanes on the 20th)!

The Meteors wish our friends,(Frank, Dan, Ron, & Frank) and their wives, a very healthy and prosperous 2009. It's great to have you as friends. Keeping the Oldies tradition alive becomes easier with The Stingrays on the circuit.

Always great to see you guys, and ladies...Here's wishin you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I appreciate your friendship and hope Santa is good to you all...see ya next year!

Hey Guys, Thanks for letting me sing with you the other night at Ki's. You guys sounded great and as always, put on a great show!! Keep rockin', have a great holiday, and see you soon.

Hey Guys...Merry Christmas best in 2009.

Hey guys, The Meteors hope that you and your family have a safe, and healthy holiday season. All the best for The Stingrays in 2009. See you at a future show.

G-r-reat Christmas show at Ki's on Friday! Especially loved the instrumental "Sleigh Ride" by the Ventures! Also loved the "classic oldies" by Bill Haley & the Comets "Rock Around the Clock" and "Shake , "Rattle & Roll"! Also the Beatles "I Saw Her Standing There" and Herman's Hermit's "I'm Into Something Good"! Thanks for talking to us guys and girls, especially Sue. Some suggestions for other songs/artists to think about during your sabbatical as we told Ron: MONKEES (and maybe Beach Boys)?

After "STUFFING" ourselves at Barb's cousin's place yesterday, we want to THANK YOU guys for a fun Thanksgiving Eve party at Manhattan's! It was nice meeting the couple that we sat with-Dennis and Debbie. Our friends, Carol & Jack, weren't able to make it at the last minute.

I saw you guys for the first time on Friday at Rolling Lanes and you were great! We will definitely be out to see the band again.

Hi StingRays! Saw you at Rolling Lanes on Friday. You guys are great!! Thanks again for the b-day wishes. See you guys soon. And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours..

Loved your Halloween pictures-what a hoot! You guys as Alpiners and the group who dressed like you-and won 1st place! (Of course!-just kidding!) Sorry we didn't make it, but are planning on Thanksgiving Eve at Manhattan's!

Once again Stingrays you had a great show, at Rolling Lanes in Countryside. Thanks Ron for sitting at our table. Hope to see you soon.

AWESOME show at Chambers for "Sweetest Day Eve"! We decided that day to go, and we're glad we did! The place is nice, great talking to all of you and girls! Also, having Mark do a couple of numbers in place of one of you. Also, Tony was great singing the Beatles songs! Lastly, the food was great!

A little late (sorry) - Great show at "harvestfest" in Glendale Heights! Had fun and our friends, Carol and Jack really enjoyed you, and Carol, especially was "tickled" that you dedicated that song for their anniversary! As always, great talking to all of you and "the girls"! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Great show at Manhattans last night, as always. Vocals were awesome! See you soon.

We were in Rochelle. The StingRays are great. Ricky Nelson is in the band! Can't wait to see you again.

As usual, your emails and web site are always a pleasure to see, you make it so exciting, as it is to see all of you as well. Hope to see ya soon.

FUN show as always at the Bloomingdale Septemberfest! First it was great seeing Sue (you did deserve a sip of Chuck's beer) and JoAnn! We caught a glimpse of Ginger and granddaughter and Judy! Thanks, Frank, for identifying us as "the good swing dancers" (something like that)! It was just a little "chaotic" with the dance troops and M& R Music to say Hi to you guys, but you all were probably aware of us with Frank R.'s "shout out" to us! Also wanted to let you know that you have a couple of new fans! We let the couple that was next to us know about you, so they came to see you for the first time there and liked your music/show/yourselves!

Every show, great music, fun fans and lots of dancing... how can we NOT come back again and again and again and... now just learn "Baby Driver" and you may just be the perfect band! Thanks!

Hi -- You guys had a great show in Rochelle at the Lincoln Highway Heritage Festival Friday night. Great tunes -- takes a person back in time!!

Sorry this is late, but THANKS guys for making my birthday (a little after-was really the l2th) special with the song and mentioning my name (Barb)! We're glad we could talk to you about it before the show, Frank! Great talking to the rest of you guys, as usual! It was fun with Stephanie's Bachelorette party, too! We don't know if you're reading this, Stephanie! Nice seeing "the ladies" and the other "friends of StingRays" also!

Great show in Lombard last night. Lots of fun. It was nice to meet you guys too (and wives). Looking forward to another night of dancing to the oldies.

AWESOME show in Wood Dale yesterday! We were running a little late. Great seeing "the girls" and thanks for saying Good-Bye to us at the end of the show (especially Dan for coming down from the stage and giving a hug, and Ron saying an extra "Bye")! Again, glad you're feeling better! Also, it was great that you saw us from the stage, Frank D.! We're also glad the rain didn't get heavier than a few drops! It was fun seeing DanZman, also!

I saw you guys at Woodhaven Lakes, you guys were fabulous.

Great show in Lagrange, sounded great, good song selection, good to see you guys again... Frank did a nice job on the Ricky Nelson songs...

I enjoyed your outdoor show in Niles. I'll try to come to the Niles events whenever I can!

Enjoyed the show at Woodhaven lakes... See you at the Sweet Corn festival

Love your creative e-mails and letting me know Gloria and I were in the pics. Hope to see you soon. Toooo many things to do, and then we get burnt out. Its not like it was a few years ago, I is tired. Love ya all.

Hi, you guys were so good at Finley's Bar and Grill, in Downers Grove last weekend. The music was great!! Always looking forward to seeing and hearing you.

Thanks for your prompt replies to all of our entries! We have a question about Greco's: Is the patio under a roof if it should rain? Or do you just play inside . .?

Hey guys... Did anyone ever tell u guys how great u r??? well... u just heard it now!!!
Ha Ha... from Jo Ann O

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dan Ware (Danny)! We love the anecdotes that you send with the upcoming shows and love reading them, even if we don't make the shows! Let us know when the birthdays are for you other three, if you wish!

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!

i saw you guys in concert in Albion at the Chain O' Lakes festival... you rocked!!! i think you would do really well in Ligonier at the festival in September. I listen to your cd every day...its awesome...thanks for being so cool and keeping real music alive...

Hey can't Wait till Friday's Concert in St. Charles Lincoln Park!

Frank
We are glad to hear you guys packed the house. Look forward to seeing you more over the summer.

LOVE YA

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 keyboards 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!
