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

As “The Chaperones” celebrate our 53nd year, our legacy continues. With the loss of two original members Roy Marchesano who wrote our signature song “Cruise to the Moon” and Tony Amato our original lead singer, Nick Salvato and I still continue on. Richie Messina is retired on Long Island. I am sure Tony and Roy would have loved to see our music alive in the year 2012.
     It is so great to see so many people remembering the old Doo Wop days and so many groups still singing to keep the Doo Wop genre' alive including tribute groups which have become a large part of our industry.  Nick and I feel our music is a reminder of a wonderful time of life and the beginning of Rock N’ Roll.
     My heart will always be back in Farmingdale Long Island, New York where I grew up and with all the friends I had. Sitting in the Diner with the group trying to figure out how to get our songs heard by recording companies like so many other groups.  It was fun and exciting. We were young and our music was young.  Dion & The Belmonts were the number one group in the world. What great memories! We can never get those days back.

Tommy a few years back I had to pack up some old computers at Kennedy Space Center (where I worked) that were used in the Apollo moon landing project and on one of the computers somebody wrote "Cruise to the Moon by The Chaperones". So you guys were a small part of history!
