ATTENTION CHAPERONE FANS & FRIENDS!

To answer a question that many people have asked. NO there was never a merger of any other band with us in 1972 or any other year.

*************************************

“The Chaperones Trilogy Continues”

“The Chaperones" consisting of Johnny Contino who is no stranger to the Chaperones since 1963 with Barry Newman formally of JT Carter's "Crests" and myself, plus a Rockin' Band make up todays Chaperones group.

Also, please watch for my friend and partner Nick Salvato's Chaperones group with great harmony. Nick and I appear with each group, sometimes together or apart.

Both Chaperones groups will be playing this year in South Florida, Las Vegas and on the East Coast. Those shows will be announced accordingly. Please watch for shows in your area.

 

Still "Cruzin' to the Moon"

Blog: by Tommy Ronca Aug. 24th, 2010 Update

Summer is almost over and the East Coast is still having a fabulous season of great Oldie Shows. You can go to the Golden Oldies Forever magazine website for a calender update of all the upcoming latest events.

I can remember Long Island in the summertime in the late 50's & early 60's. Dion & The Belmonts were the #1 group in the world at that time. Life was good, all the groups were trying to get their demo's to all the record companies. Rock n' Roll was still young. There were no concerts but there were Rock n' Roll shows everywhere mostly in the city. We were blessed to get a record "Cruise to the Moon" out on the charts. Wow, what a time of life. I miss those days, where did they go?
