Yes, Stubbleyou, the ponytail is there. You are right that Robby Robinson is one great guy. You can see him to the right in the picture captioned “The Whole Crew,” though the ponytail is not visible in the picture. Thanks, George Pine, for being a great friend for more than 40 years, dating back to the time when you were playing the Four Seasons on the radio. Regards, Charles

Great storytelling and great pix, with lots of great natural smiles! I have seen these “young guys” perform with Frankie a couple of times, and they don’t disappoint.

Watching Robby Robinson is a real treat. Such animation and enthusiasm are apparent in his playing and even moreso, in his conducting. It’s great to see an “older” person (I put myself in that group; it’s no insult, trust me) still look hip, into it, and in charge (not unlike Paul Shaffer on Letterman). I envy Robby because he clearly loves what he does and has been doing it so well for so long. Does he still sport the ponytail?

Thanks, Charles and Cyn!

An amazzzzzing night with the
icons one rarely meets in a
lifetime> Frankie, Bob G, Charles A. !
One can hear & read the music and
the written history from the
“Jersey Beat”, the Music of
Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons–
it is an entirely UNIQUE experience
to be there live with them and knowing
they have provided so much entertainment
for so many loyal followers on our planet !
A most memorable event !!!
I appreciate my friend, Charles Alexander,
including me with his special friends.

Charles, this was just wonderful; I was smiling all the way.

Thank heavens you saved Lasagna from the inevitable restraining order and the midnight call to Gyp for bail money. I can just picture her with Brenda Lee now, “Brenda, I’m sorry, so sorry..” but then proceeding with her flash bulbs popping! Do we have a new Annie Leibovitz here (talking about Annie’s photo talents, not her money management)…

That photo of Bob waving with the ear-to-ear grin is something else, Lasagna. Now, the next challenge will be an ear-to-ear grin from Frankie!!
