Saturday’s show at the Newark Pac was wonderful.

12-8-06 Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh PA

I just attended the Pittsburgh show. It was GREAT and our group of 30 was so happy that you changed the staging so that we people sitting on the orchestra side of the arena got equal "face time" from the artists. ...We also liked the change of date--much less going on at the beginning of the month.

Martha

I want to thank you for a great show we saw at Pittsburgh. We have seen every show and have noticed that the arena is growing with more people. The time and date were great, and it did not interfere with holiday spent with family.

Thanks for a truly memorable evening (and day). My husband and I were totally brought back into time with the wonderful songs and memories. We never have gone to one of these concerts before but we are hooked now. We loved the whole show but Anthony & the Imperials were incredible. The Duprees were magnificent. Kenny Vance was very good and Johnny Maestro was great too. Thanks again from a pair of new reborn fans.

Laurie & Tom

Thanks for another great evening with so many of our favorite artists. Our group comes every year and this one tops them all. We heard Joey Reynolds call you the Empress of Doo Wop while you were co hosting with Johnny Maestro. We disagree, the two of you are the Barbie and Ken of Doo Wop. Can't wait til next year's show.

Carelene

My wife and I attended the concert. We wanted to let you know that it was one of the very best we have ever attended. That includes many, many events produced by many folks including a large number that Richard has done over the years. We have attended Richard's events since the 70's when I believe we were at the Garden in New York. Keep it going. All the best.

Thanks
Larry and Margaret

I just wanted to give you a big Thank you... I was at the meadowlands on June 17th for the big doo wop show.. it was fantastic, (and) it was great to see Johnny and you.

Lillian

Deborah, Thanks so much for a fabulous show on Saturday Night at the Meadowlands. Your hosting with Johnny Maestro was great. Every one of these Doo Wop Reunions that we have attended there are just terrific. We find each one makes the trip from Lancaster, PA so worth our time. Thanks for all your time and effort put into making these shows for our entertainment.

Judy

I just had to email you about Richard Nader's Doo Wop Reunion XVII this past Saturday night on 6/17. My friends, relatives, and myself had a great time. We've missed a few concerts in the past but this concert was one of the best shows we've seen so far. To sum it all up in our words "WOW" and "AWESOME". Guarantee we'll be there to see you, my Kenny Vance, my Johnny Maestro and hopefully my Duprees.

Vicky

My best friend, my husband and I attended Reunion Doo Wop show XVII this past Saturday. We have been to other of your shows but we all agree that this one was the best. From start to finish it was fantastic.

Elaine

My husband and I along with all our friends enjoyed the DooWop Reunion show last night at the Meadowlands Arena. Every June we look forward to seeing this Spectacular DooWop show. All the groups were outstanding and the show was well organized.

Diana

Thank you so much for the fine DooWop entertainment that you have provided at the Sixteenth annual show at the meadowlands continental arena. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely, as it is so fulfilling to be brought back to our younger days thru this format.

Bruce

Yet another outstanding show at the Continental Arena. I think Don K. Reed had a great idea about Kenny & Johnny forming a new group. They sing so beautifully together. I've been to many of your shows. This one ranks among the best. Thanks for keeping the music alive and for a most enjoyable day.

Donna

My mother and I just returned from the 17th Doo Wop Spectacular and it was wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the duet between Johnny and Kenny it was absolutely outstanding. We would love to see Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge back again next year which I understand is already set.

Mary

What a show!! We really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one we see!! We really enjoyed Kenny Vance and the Planotones and Lou Christie. Top notch in every way. We came 5 hours for this and it was worth every minute of it. Keep up the great work on these shows. Kathleen was so much help and it was nice we had the chance to meet her.

Pat

What I attended last night's show at the Meadowlands with my husband and a group of friends. We had a terrific time and are already planning to come next June with an even larger group of friends!

My wife and I attended your "Magic Moments to Remember" concert last evening at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ.

As always the show was outstanding and full of magic moments to remember.

Ed

Really enjoyed the State Theatre show on Friday night. All three acts were great but Johnny was really great.

Love to see Kenny Vance at the next State Theatre show.

Thanks for keeping this great music alive!!!

Bill

Saw the show on Friday and loved it.

It was a pleasure meeting you Monday evening. I felt as if I had known you forever, we had a wonderful time. ....The Show was absolutely fantastic.

2-26-06 Doo Wop Cruise VI

My wife and I had an awesome time. We want on the next one.

Many thanks,
Rich and Cathy

My wife Donna and I cannot thank you folks enough for putting on such a great show. All the acts were so accessible to us and truly we felt part of everyone's family. We are convinced long after we are gone that our music will remain alive for more generations to hear. In fact, even though we do not like today's music, many of today's artists are taking our songs and just changing the beat for their generation. Please keep our music alive by continuing to have these cruises.

2-18-06 Community Arts Center

Just wanted to let you know that the Concert with Lou Christie, Shirley Alston-Reeves and The Duprees at the Williamsport PA's Community Arts Center on Feb 18th was the absolute best ever!!! They were terrific! This was one great line up of stars and they gave us our monies worth and more.

We hope you'll continue to send us great entertainment like the above. 50's and 60' s music is the best!!!

Thank you!!! Cathy and Greg

1-20-06 Grand Opera House Wilmington, Delaware

My husband and I attended the concert on January 20 and, as always, had a wonderful time! Peaches and Herb really blew me away. We have had season tickets since the season began (second row from the stage) and really look forward to each one. Since you asked for suggestions for the next series, I have lots! ... Although I was born in 1952 (my husband in 1949), we both grew up listening to all of this music because of older sisters and their record players! My two daughters, who are in their 20's, also grew up listening to this music and know the words to just about any song you can dish out. Once again, thank you for keeping the music alive!

Cathy

Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Wilmington, DE Opera House doo-wop concert. This was one of the more enjoyable ones featuring the Marvelettes, The Countours, and Peaches and Herb. This is our third year attending these concerts.
