Ralph,
The concert [Dennis Cannantaro Concert Series, Smithtown, August 4th] was wonderful, as always! Thanks so much for singing Jackie Wilson for me. Such a great job! Also, “The Wonder of You”, my wedding song. I usually don’t like other people singing Elvis’s songs, but you did a terrific job----as you and the other singers did with every song.
My husband and I are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!
Joan and John Carro
There may have not been sun last night but you fired up West Long Beach last night. You were amazing and I'm going to help you with your advertising for you. Well see you again in the summer somewhere.
Thanks for a great night with my friends who enjoyed you too.
Lauren
Hi
I saw your concert in Long Beach on Wednesday, July 20th. It was a great performance. I especially like that you have guest participation. I also like the fact that you have the knowledge of various songs from different eras without using sheet music. I have gone to your website and found you will be playing in the future. You can be sure that I will be going to more of your concerts and if I have an affair, I will be hiring you. God bless and good health to all.

We attended your show tonight at the Valley Stream Bandshell and had a blast.
We are in our mid 60's but you made us feel much younger.
Thank you.
ps: Love the way you end your shows.

My wife and I have been following Risky around for the last couple of summers, except for this one, what has happened to the schedule on your web site. It's stuck on July. We really enjoy the music, Please update the schedule.
Thanks Red Wilkie
We're sorry about that. Our "Internet Dept. has been out of commision lately, but the schedule is now current. Check it out.
We enjoy your group very much.

Hi Eddy,
Tommy & Joanne Goebel from the Classic Cruisers car club. We'll see you and the guys at the festival on Denton Ave. later this month.
How risky is the outdoor music business! (LOL). Wednesday night (July 14th) after singing just 3 songs, the skies opened up on the group called "Risky Business” during the 22nd annual free beach concert at New York Blvd in Long Beach. With the weather, it certainly rang true! The skies threatened around 7:20 PM, cleared by 7:40 PM so by 8 PM, the concert began.
Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg addressed a very courageous group of approximately 250, who sat mostly under the boardwalk. Clear blue skies usually attract 2,500 hearty souls from all over Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens & the Bronx. The group (the #1 most requested Doo-Wop cover band on Long Island) & the city’s musical engineers were all drenched by 8:15 PM. Everyone scattered. The heavy rain continued until 9:30 PM. Equipment, clothing, etc all were drying out by Thursday. Since the group set up and sang in addition to the crew from the City of Long Beach setting up, everyone got paid for an evening's work. Therefore, no rain date was possible. I (as the co-sponsor Sterrer Realty) along with the many calls & e-mails received the next day, were all disappointed. We are already looking forward to next summer.

The first time I saw you perform was at my cousins Tracey and Steven Rietas wedding at Russo's. (The Wedding of the Century) I thought you were better than great. (If that makes any sense?) Ralph your voice is beyond compare and your personality is so genuine. Ed, we had the pleasure of talking to you at the wedding that night and you also have a genuine down to earth personality, with a flair for perfection. I have to say you are all terrific singers and musicians. I truly enjoy your performances and I try to go to your shows when possible. Thanks for always making my day!!!!!!!

We were at the park you played at on July 18 and I think you were great. My husband was the one that had the oxygen on and he was very happy to see all of you. He has not missed one of your concerts and he is now in a nursing home which we hope one day he can get off oxygen and be like he was.
Thank You
Ashley
My husband and I went to the concert tonight at McNeil Park in College Point. We have seen you there several times and enjoy it very much each time. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

*To Ralph, Gail and Risky Business,
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Marie, Tina and friends from College Point-Flushing.
Thanks very much for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the show. I did stay and catch quite a bit of your show and just loved the sound - the harmonies were tremendous and backing instrumentation just as impressive - great job all around - good range on tunes as well - to mix in Doobies with Jackie Wilson works very well as you guys can pull it all off.
Hope to catch you guys again and perform at the same event as well.
Be Well

Yesterday And Today
Used to live in Long Island, but now I’m in Queens. However, if you’re playing on weekends in Long Island or the neighboring area, let me know! Caught you guys in Long Beach this summer – introduced my fianc?e to your music. Been mentioning you guys for a long time and he finally got to hear you. LOVED IT!!!!
Keep up the great music!!!

Hi Guys, After having lived on 240th Street in Bellerose for 35 years until 5 years ago, I used to go to Fuzzy's everytime you were there. Now that I live in Franklin Square I follow you around to all the parks and festivals. I have introduced some of my friends to your music and they love you too. Out of all the groups that sing in the parks this summer you guys are the best. I check your website all the time. I am so glad that you are now at Antonetette's Restaurant. I will be coming on Friday nights to eat with my friends and enjoy your wonderful music. I remain a friend always. Thank you.
Sandy Peterson of Franklin Square
I recently went to dinner at Madisons Steakhouse with several other couples and expected to be entertained by a "Fifties group". I was pleasantly surprised to see two of the singers (Eddie & Ralph), whom I had worked with 20 - 25 years ago. The band was fabulous, every musician and singer participated. Their repertoire was faultless, and they honored all requests from the audience. If you want a great night out, check their calendar and set aside a date to go to see them. You will not be disappointed.
Bill Bauer
Looking
forward to seeing you on Friday April 11th at the LIBOR South Shore Chapter

Hi everyone,
Just want to say you all did a great job at the College Point show
July 15th. And College Point is a pretty obscure place (LOL). I
told my mother who is 70 and my grandmother who is 92, me I am 44, my
uncle and aunt are early 60's I said this band played at Dublin Pub
20 years ago WOW!! We all had a ball all the generations singing
together, knowing all the songs. You left us all Happy!!!
PS: And you are all GREAT AMERICANS..... LOVED THE END OF THE
SHOW...KEEP MAKING MUSIC..
Hope to see you soon
Patrick Nelson
Here are some comments I heard after the Smithtown concert last night. That group was excellent! Great voices, good harmony & a fabulous band & they even take requests _ and my favorite, "loved the variety, from Sinatra to Elvis to the Beatles _ "where are they next?"
Congrats guys you did it once again. Smithtown loves Risky Business!
Mary Ann Lovizio
Best Wishes for a good Summer Session. I like the
schedule it is very full and I am glad that you are

Hello _ Risky Business _
An old high school friend of mine came to town last night, been meaning to get out of my rut & so I took her to hear you at the Rockville Center club _ Reflections _ . Sharing your music and our memories was a double jolt of a great thing. She has a bad knee and I a sore back, so we were not able to dance more than one or two numbers. The spirits were willing but the bodies wouldn _ t follow. So we sat on those fluffy leather couches and bounced to the beat.
Your choices of songs, the harmony, and energy was great & we found ourselves dancing on the inside! To quote an old high school expression & _ loved you guys something fierce! _
Your performance and energy was terrific! It distracted me from my physical problems. I think music heals what ails us & emotionally and physically & The vibrations and memories & Loved your accapella moments & and my favorite & .dedicated to Brooklyn & _ Looking for an Echo _
Thank you for a special night. This year _ s holiday spirit was evading me & you brought it home. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Love you all & a fan
Tilda Virgilio Clark
My husband and I enjoy your concerts very much. Please put us on your e-mail list so that we can keep up with where you will be appearing, and other news about your group.
By the way, your show in Island Park tonight was wonderful. We enjoyed so much the way you interacted with the audience. Not many groups do that anymore. It's a very nice touch to your shows.
Marge & Conrad Wilkie

Saw you at the Greenpoint feast and enjoyed the show.
Good tunes and good musicianship
I also enjoyed watching one of your members devour two Italian sausage heroes...awesome!
Keep up the good work.
Daniel,
Hi Ralph.
We had the sincere pleasure of enjoying you & your wonderful band last Friday evening, May 19th, at the Knights of Columbus dinner dance in Sheepshead Bay, NY. The performance by you & your band members was truly enjoyable & nostalgic. You sang those great songs of the 50 _ s, with that incomparable Doo Wop flair, and it was absolutely fantastic. That night _ s performance should have been recorded!!!
You may remember us; my wife & I are from the Boston, Mass area & were visiting our family & friends last week-end. Because of your especially entertaining music and sounds that Friday night, we re-lived our youth from the real _ Happy Days _ .. We introduced ourselves & complimented you and your group, and you kindly gave us a copy of your cassette recording as a gift.
We played it a couple of times while driving home Sunday.
Thanks again for a great pleasure-filled evening.

Subject: Retas wedding at Russo's on the Bay
Dear Ralph and the Group,
I would like to say "Thank You" for the great job the group did at the Retas wedding at Russo's. The group was the hit of the evening and overall the wedding was a phenomenal success. Your ability to perform all the songs that were requested was a testament to your devotion to your craft. I really appreciated that you did Cara Mia, which is song that most groups won't even try but your cover was up there equal to Jay himself. It was also appreciated that you and the group hung around and relived a lot of memories from the 60's and 70's with some of us. As a dedicated oldies fan it is great that there are groups like Risky Business keeping the memories alive. You have broadened your fan base with most of the people that were there.
Bill Ruland

Risky Business goes acapella - and what a delight it was. Not to take anything away from the talent of the group (musicians and vocalists) as a whole - you guys were awesome Saturday night at Molloy and well-worth coming out to see on such a treacherous night. I enjoyed your performance very much and it looked like you were all having a good time too. I look forward to seeing RISKY BUSINESS in any venue. Thanks for making it worth the trip as always.
Carol Vanderhoef
Hey Ed...its Pat from the Sev...love you guys and love to dance to your music..lucky enough to see you couple weeks ago in Lynbrook...thanks for dedicating Spiral Staircase to me and for coming off stage to dance with me....LOVE IT<<<<< and LOVE YOU>>> see you soon

I have been a fan for 15 years. I saw you the other night in Marine
Park. After all these years I still enjoy every song, but I was disapointed
because you didn't do the duke. I know it's an old song ,but I have marched
around with Ralgh twice ,SO it brings back great memories. Look forward to
seeing you again

Sorry I couldn't get into see you perform at Freeport tonight. The
cafe was full up at 8:30 standing room only, and the bar had no space
either.I listened from outside for a while but had to move on.. Hope that
next time you perform in Freeport it will be at an outdoor spot where all
can hear your wonderful music.

We really enjoyed you guys last night and definitely plan to
attend more of your events.

I saw Risky Business at my cousin's surprise birthday party.
After listening to them for a few minutes my whole table was lost in their
music - these guys are phenominal - we were sorry when the party ended -
because they had to stop singing - my advice to anyone with a soft spot
for the "oldies" DON'T MISS THEM - THEY ARE WORTH TO TRIP TO
ANYWHERE!!!!!
Ms. Vita Bolkovic
Valley Stream, NY
Over the years, I have grown to enjoy the many songs in your
repertoir and to "dance the night away!" I hope that Risky Business's
success lasts for many years to come.

Keep on singing !

The first time I saw Risky Business was in Oceanside Park. It was at the recommendation of my boss, whose known Chris for a very long time. I went with my mother and we were hooked. Since then we've been at the Celini's Italian Feast and the Italian Feast in Port Washington. I have to say that Saturday we were out in Sag Harbor and we had to be in Pt. Washington to see you again. We wouldn't miss it for the world. Great fun, great people. Can't wait to see you again.

To all of Risky Business, Tommy and I would like to thank you for making our party a hit. You guys really outdid yourselves. We invited our customers from each night of the week from The Gathering,to show our appreciation for their support. Well guys, my phone has not stopped ringing. My customers during the week night have never heard you play. Now they can't wait for you to come back to The Gathering Lounge, so they can come hear your music and dance. If anyone is reading this, the next time you have a party, get "Risky Business" as your band. They are just great.....and thank you Risky Girls for the lovely basket that you gave us.
Love to all, Linda,

Oceanside, NY
saw you last night at the oceanside concert. it was good, but you are a 50's group and you should only do the 50's music. i can remember when i saw you do Bernadette at the brown derby in brooklyn and tina turner at the douglaston manor and my opinion was you were fantastic. stick to the 50's music.

Hi, my husband said come with me to Oceanside to hear this band, I said I don't want to go. Man, am I glad I went, you guys are sooo good. I had such a fantastic time.I laughed so much when Ralph I think is interacting with the crowd. It felt like being in Brooklyn again at Grandmas house. I liked that their was a great mix of music, all kinds. The musicians and the vocals were great too. You lookl said to my husband. Anyway, see you guys at the Babylon Bowl celebration.Get ready, those guys can party. Thanks for a great evening, I especially loved the Italian music. But I really loved when you were cracking the jokes. I loved it. thanks again for a terrific evening.

The music IS the party... and Risky Business made our surprise birthday party for Sandy a real event. Everyone has been calling me, asking about "the band". You are so talented and wonderfully interactive with the party, I just had to write a glowing testimonial in your guestbook. Anyone wanting their occasion to be very special will accomplish that goal if Risky Business is the entertainment.Thanks so much.Big hugs to you all,Carol Denicker

From the moment we announced our intentions to get married, our family and friends began anticipating what they believed would be the wedding of the century. Today with memories of that night still in their minds everyone is talking about the best wedding they ever attended. We take great pride and joy in knowing that we did not disappoint, our wedding turned out to be all that we expected and more.A major reason for our great success was the music of Risky Business. From the A-Capella to the rock & roll, they satisfied everyone's musical tastes. You guys did a great job and everyone loved you.It meant the world to Nora having Risky Business play at our wedding and we both thank you very much for travelling all the way up to New England to share our special day. We look forward to seeing you again soon.Mr & Mrs Joey AntinucciPS.....Ed's entertainment with the dinner rolls was second to none.

It was great to see you guys again. The last time it was at the Make-a-Wish Dance in Port Chester. Wish you all the best. Eddy and Ralph it wasa pleasure to see you again. Best wishes, Connie

Hi guys, the other night I was listening to Doop-wop.com at the Fiesta Casino and relized that one singer looked very familiar. When I asked him if he sang on the East coast, he answered"I sang with Risky Business" Bobby says HELLO from Vegas. I am a friend of Tom Byrne and will be heading to New York this week. Maybe my husband and I will catch you guys this summer. Linda

How can u guys even think about representing the roots of rock'n'roll without ever acknowledging the influence of Mr Pat Boone!!!Shame on you,Riskey Biz!!!Just think, there'd be no Air Supply,no Peter Lemongello,no Archies, no Englebert, no Debbie Boone...if it wasn't for this great rock pioneer. Now i know this must be an oversight, so i expect to be hearing "Love letters in the Sand" at your next show!!! Uncle Tommy,i'll be seeing you on Thanksgiving.

You guys are THE BEST!!! - I just wanted to thank you again for helping me give my niece Samantha a wonderful memory to take back to Florida. I don _ t get to see her too often so it was important for me to make her visit a memorable one. Apparently I succeeded _ she had to call my sister from the festival to tell her and she hasn _ t stopped talking about how special you made her feel. As I told you _ Buttercup _ is our song and to have it sung to her personally was more than I even planned on. She is also hoping to come this Saturday. We _ ll see. And it wasn _ t just the band. Samantha was so touched by the warmth and friendliness of your families and friends of Risky Business, that she keeps telling her mother how nice and friendly the people in New York are. THANK YOU AGAIN, AS I SAID YOU _ RE THE BEST.P.S. My sister was able to hear part of _ A Girl Like You _ , via cell phone and she said you guys are great too!

We enjoyed your concert last night at Lyons Park, Port Chester, NY. The music was terific and brought back menories. We were married in the Fifties and your songs brought back great memories for me and my husband. Mostly I enjoyed the kiss on the cheek from Ralph. The way you got the audiance to participate was fantastic. The good Lord willing we see and hear you next year.

We enjoyed your music at Lyons Park in Port Chester tonight. I couldn't wait to get home to let you know My husband & I think you all are such great entertainers & fabulous musicians. We're sure you hear that all the time. Wonderful the way you get audience participation. Really enjoyed "Delilah" - I am a Tom Jones follower from way back. We used to go to all the Rock & Roll shows in the city - loved the 50's our era! Just wished you used the keys I threw to you ha ha - Couldn't resist. No one threw panties or bras - so the keys were the best I could do. We really enjoyed your music. Thanks for the nice night & Thank God it didn't rain!

I would have written this earlier but I had no time. Anyway, you guys did a great job in Long Beach, despite the weather and the wet stage. I have been to several concerts at the LB Boardwalk and This was definately one of the best. I can't even remember the last time a performer actually ran up onto the boardwalk during a guitar solo! Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!

You guys are the greatest. My wife and I enjoyed your performance. We had a great night out on the boardwalk Tuesday night in Long Beach. Wanted to especially thank you for your tribute to the "veterans". You guys are the best. There isn't another group of performers anywhere that give to their audience the way all of you do, not to mention how you move among the crowd. Everyone leaves your show happy and dancing.YOU ARE THE BESTBILL AND PAT FROM FREEPORT

RISKY BUSINESS.........what can I say. You guys, once again, came through and made it happen! The show you did for the JOEY'S FRIENDS TOO fundraiser was one of the best performances I have ever seen, and I see so much of you , I even see you in my sleep LOL. Over 500 people showed up for the event, and I know the majority of them will be back to see you again. I can't thank you enough, nor can enough credit be given to the group, for helping to make this fundraiser a success year after year. Sunday's fundraiser was a HUGE success. When all was said and done, Joe and Virginia walked away with $8415 for The Little Village School. The money you helped to raise will fund medical equipment desperately needed by disabled children. It feels good to help the kids, and you guys should feel GREAT! It is a pleasure working with you. My sincerest thank you for making it happen. Job well done.Tommy Byrne(PS Tell Tommy Coyne, I bought the stickem)

Saw Your band at "Fuzzy's" Valentines Day weekend,we had a blast. Your group's sound was so tight. You truly sounded like all the original artists. I was so impressed, that I would love to offer to all the guys in the group a "New Makeover" after listening to you all night, your band has a mixed look in between Jimmy Buffet and Dion and the Belmonts. When I saw the shoes, it hit me,"Gansters of Love" your photo on the home page of Black and Whites look great. Nice image! If you're interested e-mail me. As you can tell make-overs are my business.We will tell as many friends to see your shows. They deserve to seen in packed houses. You guys are the best that we have heard in a long time. Hope to catch one of your next performances.

Seen you guys at Fuzzy's Saturday night. WOW!!!!!! The place was packed and the joint was rockin' lol. You were on fire.Great show. Second time I've seen the band. First time I was at a show at Fuzzy's, and it won't be the last for either. We really enjoyed the coziness at the club. It's a warm friendly atmosphere and we felt at home their. Risky Business made us feel like they were playing for us personally. Some groups just get up and do their show and bam they're gone. You guys really enjoy what you do and it shows. Guaranteed we'll be back to see you again. Not sure about the Sunday afternoon show, but we are planning on coming for the Halloween costume party. Keep up the good work.

To all the guys,Our sincere thanks for making our 39th wedding anniversay celebration at the Driftwood last night an extraordinary success. Your kind sentiments and warm comments made this occassion one we will long remember. We appreciate your making a special dedication to mark the occassion. We must tell you how impressed we were by the energy that prevailed throughout the night even after having performing earlier in the day. It was a remarkable tribute to your talent and dedication. May God bless each and every one of you for the joy and happiness you spread where ever you perform.
Gloria and Dick Ramski <[email protected]>

It's not JUST MY IMAGINATION; you are a very talented group of guys. In fact, I BELIEVE, I could watch you perform EIGHT DAYS A WEEK. From the vocalists great leads and melodic harmonies, to the tight and sharp sounds of the musicians, to the contagious energy and enthusiasm of all of you. I really enjoy the way you DO THE THINGS YOU DO. Last Saturday I saw you @ CLUB NCI with the Capris, and you so kindly agreed to play my request of GLORIA. I must say, Bobby sang it so beautifully, I almost wish that was my name, and I AIN'T TO PROUD TO BEG him to sing it again tomorrow night, when you perform @ the Driftwood Inn. I will be there with my friends Gloria and Dick Ramski, who will be celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary. Although Gloria obviously loves the song GLORIA, could you also play something appropriate for the occasion, if it's not too much trouble? Possibly HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY? I'd really appreciate your help in making this night special for them. Well gotta go GET READY to TWIST AND SHOUT tomorrow night. Can't wait to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC and DANCE TO THE MUSIC.Thanks again!Carol(Previously & still known as the YOU'D BETTER RUN "Rascals" fan)

I saw you perform for the first time @ the Driftwood in July and I was so impressed that I went to see you @ Hoyt Farms, Club NCI (with the Earls) and last weekend @ the Feast of St. Edwards Church. Thank you for bringing the music of the past back to life with such energy and passion. It's evident that you are all enjoying yourselves and it really makes a difference to your audience. Living on eastern LI, there aren't many bands I would travel to far to see, but you are one of the rare few. Being a big fan of 50's & 60's music, I have several favorite groups. One of them are the Rascals, and I want to Thank you for doing YOU BETTER RUN last week. You did a great job of it and I really enjoyed your performance. If the opportunity should arise to add new songs to your already amazing collection, please consider other Rascals songs such as LONELY TOO LONG, PEOPLE GOTTA BE FREE and of course GROOVIN'. I hope to see you tonight at the Soco Lounge, if I may make a request or two, maybe three, please do anything by JOHNNY MAESTRO, He's a favorite too! Also I "This Magic Moment", "Pledging My Love", "Wonderful Tonight" Actually anything on your list would be great!. Thanks again.

Hi, Guys. I saw you last night at the NCI in New Hyde Park. The first time I ever saw you was at Windsor Park Pool a few weeks ago.

You all add your special talents to make one GREAT WONDER SOUND!!! God bless you all! (P.S. To the little singer: Sorry I told you I loved you last night, but when you did "When a Man Loves a Woman" and just happened to glance my way, I wanted you then and there. Just a dream, just a dream!

We heard you guys were a good band, but we never had the chance to see you. Then we heard you were playing in Bellerose. We almost didn't come to the show. Who knew there was that kind of entertainment so close. I am glad we took the chance, and saw your show last Saturday. The band was great. The songs were wonderful and the audience was very nice. You need to let more people know that you are playing in Queens. We will definately be back to see you again. We liked the club too. I bet a lot of people don't realize that there is a place in Bellerose providing that kind of entertainment. See you February 5.

We've been following and listening to you guys for well over 10 years, and you're still THE BEST AROUND!! The cassette we have is getting worn out--we're still waiting for that CD! Best of luck with your new "affiliation" and doing what you do best-We love you! See you soon.

Well since there isn't too much room...I'll make this breif.You guys are the best. There isn't another group of performers anywhere that "give" to their audience the way all of you do, not to mention how you have become "Friends" to all who come to see you. You make the audience feel like they are a part of the band. Everyone leaves your shows happy and dancing!!!!! RISKY BUSINESS........YOU ARE THE BEST!

Best of luck with the new web page. It's great making use of todays technology. Keep pumping out those sounds of the 50's and 60's.
