John
Davidson as Guest Star?
Friday 23-Jun-2000 13:31:02
Was John Davidson ever a guest star on Tony Orlando and Dawn?
The episode guide contains no mention of his name
but I think I can remember John and Tony singing a duet as the
closing song.

A Note of Thanks........
Saturday 17-Jun-2000 22:50:19
Dear Pat I would like
to thank you for bringing our messages of sympathy to Joyce and her
family.
I am sure that because of the special friendship you and Joyce share
your presence was extremely comforting to her at the services this
weekend but knowing that our
words and prayers reached her is very touching.
Through you she was able to know that there are still many of us that
remember her and care enough to offer our support and kindness.
Thank you Pat...Jo

June 16th 2000 Greatest Show Ever
Saturday 17-Jun-2000 21:09:44
Last night at this time I was in Branson
MO and at the Osmond Theater witnessed probably the greatest
preformance ever by Tony Orlando. All I can say is if it gets any better
than that one (and I am serious) I couldn't stand it. I came home on the
plane today and I haven't been able to get it off my mind. It has been 24
hours now and I still am electrified. I was even looking for the yellow
ribbons when I got home. I saw 12 great shows in Branson this time but let
me tell you. Tony Orlando is the King. Later – cpl

TONY LIVE ON RADIO!!
Friday 16-Jun-2000 00:46:50
Hi All!
Let me say what a thrill it was to speak with Tony live on radio
tonight!!!
I found out that Tony was being interviewed on the radio tonight and
although I couldn't hook up with the radio station through the internet
(my computer wasn't complying) I was amazed to find out that the radio
station was here on Long Island in New York!!!!
Well at first the station had
a little difficulty locating Tony but
nevertheless they found Tony
at his home in Branson. I
called the station and asked if they could pass along a message to Tony
and was asked "well why
don't you just pass it along yourself?"
OH MY GOSH!
I told Tony that I am thrilled to hear that he will be coming back next
month to Westbury and congratulated him on his induction to the Hall of
Fame. We spoke about the
Yankee Jersey that I gave to him here in Westbury
last November and told him that many of us are anxiously awaiting
his arrival back at the Tropicana in Atlantic City in the Fall.
Immediately following he
spoke with Pat and Del and I know it was just as much a thrill for them to
speak with Tony as it was for me. It
was great to hear their voices too!!

Looking for a Song
Monday 12-Jun-2000 19:15:58
Once I bought the L.P. album CUPID by Tony Orlando and I love the song TO
BE WITH YOU which I consider
to be one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard. I have been looking
for it in CD format. Can anybody help me? I will appreciate that very
much. Thanks!

Meeting Tony
Sunday 11-Jun-2000 10:25:59
Just wanted to say that my dad and I had the wonderful experience of
meeting Tony at Westbury in November
1999. What a
sweetheart. I don't know of
many performers who would take the time that he does with his fans.
He is extremely down to earth.
He was nice enough to autograph the back of a photo that I have
kept of him since the early seventies.
It was his idea to hold that photo up in the picture we took
together. My dad is a WWII
veteran and he was so
respectful and gracious to him. It
meant a lot to both me and my dad to have the opportunity to meet such a
wonderful man.

THE TOAD SITE
Friday 9-Jun-2000 13:42:49
How exciting that you were contacted to assist in putting together an
interview with Tony Orlando with A&E tne the BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It only confirms how wonderfully helpful you are all around.
About a year ago when I first began searching the internet for
information on Tony I was led to the TOAD Site.
Here I found clear up to date
accurate information on all of Tony's upcoming shows and events
as well as all of Tony's latest breaking news.
The TOAD Site continues to bring me back to a very special time in my life
where each memory is captured and enhanced by the momentuous songs and
music of Tony Orlando & Dawn. It
is there that it all began and I'm so thankful to have found a site where
at any time I can have "A Blast from the Past" and relive some
of those very special moments.
This site is totally dedicated to the Tony Orlando and Dawn of then and
the Tony Orlando of now. The
assistance you have given to the fans and friends of TOAD has been
phenomenal. Not only have you
gone out of your way to help people connect with Tony
you've answered questions provided
trivia knowledge settled bets
provided terrific photos and have given all the supportive
information that makes the TOAD Site truly unique.
Recently while in Atlantic
City I was able to enjoy
listening to some very well deserved compliments given to the TOAD Site. It was so wonderful to hear your site given its' proper
recognition and to hear how highly he praised and respects this wonderful
TOAD Site.
Thanks So Much!!

From A&E to the BBC
Wednesday 7-Jun-2000 19:02:42
Julie and I have two items of information to share with all of the Friends
of TOAD.
Last week we were contacted by the A&E Network. They are putting together a special on the Brill Building
and would like to interview Tony for the project. Many of you may be aware that Tony started out singing in
the Brill Building. The
target airdate for this special is April/May 2001.
Today we were contacted by BBC Television in the UK.
They are currently producing a television documentary for world
transmission on the history of popular music in the Twentieth Century and
would like to interview Tony for the project.
We are thrilled to facilitate both of these networks in contacting Tony
and his management and are glad that our site contributes in some way to
worldwide awareness of both Tony and TOAD.
Both of these producers gave their highest compliments to the web
site commenting on its
beautiful presentation and wealth of information.
A year and a half ago when the site was first started we never imagined
that it would grow immensely in popularity and obtain the worldwide
reputation it has. We are
delighted that the site presents an honest reflection of their career as a
group and an insight to their current whereabouts.
And as always
we are glad that we can assist
even in some small way in
bringing projects like these to the members of the group.

Tony's age (a discussion and bet among friends)
Monday 5-Jun-2000 15:27:05
We recently visited Branson and had a wonderful experience at the Tony
Orlando show. He called my
husband down (who was taking a picture) and he sang (and forgot the words)
to Beer Barrel Polka while standing with Tony.
We now have a nice picture of the two of them together.
However we and our
friends disagree as to Tony's age. Can
you help us! (No money riding on this.)
