Just some of the messages from Sonny's admirers

Mr R Haynes of Eastbourne:- Dear Sonny, I bought your tapes " Nice & Easy" in Eastbourne, for me you brought the town to "life". I am a piano fanatic but your playing I will always treasure most, long may you enjoy playing and raising money for charity.

Ms J Godden of Postmouth:- I have so enjoyed the tape I got when you visited Portsmouth and am now so looking forward to the other two I have ordered. I thank you for giving me such happy memories of years gone by.

Ms C Kerr of Mobberley:- Just a note to let you know how I found out about you. My mother lives in a home and I had taken her out for the morning. On our return we parked next to a car playing your tape. The music made me feel calm but the look on mother's face was a treat! She started to smile and even burst into song. I could have cried it was a wonderful sight. Thank you. I hope that by purchasing the CDs I can play them in the car to mother then I can listen to them on my way home remembering the good times, of which there are many. Thank you for your music.

Mr J E Robinson of Preston:- Just to thank you for the pleasure your music gives to my wife and myself. My wife was a very fit and active person before she suffered a massive stroke some two years ago, now she is quite disabled and, as you can imagine, is sometimes very frustrated and depressed. The one thing I can garantee will lift her spirits is to play one of your discs, within a couple of numbers she is singing along with your melodies. The old one are definitely the best.

Ms M A Gamble of Leicester:- When you were in Leicester playing my friend and I stopped to listen. I was so impressed and loved the music you played that I decided to buy "Memories of Yesteryear" to play in the car and I must admit I've played nothing else since I got it and I enjoy singing along while you play. It brought so many memories back when music was "proper" music and had a tune and rhythm to it and words also meant something. It reminded me of the happy times that my husband and I had when ballroom dancing - especially the slow foxtrot!!! Thank you for producing such lovely CD's with tunes that will last.

Mr R Pullen of London:- The first time we met you was in Croydon when Sonny was playing. We liked what we heard, some lovely music to relax to. My wife says it keeps her sane when she is out driving ( I thank him for that) We would like to thank you too for all your hard work helping to promote Sonny's music for everybody to enjoy. Sonny's music goes on and he will not be forgotten.

Ms D Dellany of Sidcup:- I heard Sonny when he was playing in Lewisham. I heard this wonderful music floating across and stood listening like many others. Knowing my mother loved the music he was playing I bought a Thanks for the Memories and a Just for You CD and then added to them. We always play them on Sunday while cooking lunch. I am ordering more CDs and look forward to listening to such lovely music. He certainly had a special touch with his playing.

Ms C Headley of York:- I'm so sorry to hear of Sonny's passing. My husband and I heard him playing a few years ago in Scarborough. We often play his music, it's so nice and relaxing. We stayed in Scarborough in October at the Ivanhoe pub and guess what music was palying? Sonny!! So his music is everywhere.

Mrs C Heneghan of Horncastle:- Sonny's CDs have brought many happy hours to our club in Horncastle and I hope I am not too late to order a couple more that I havn't got at present, and hope that the ones I have never get lost or wear out!!!

Mr T Grimsell of Northampton:- It was a few years ago that I first heard Sonny. I was walking down Abington Street in Northampton when I haerd the sound of a piano and I liked what I heard. When I reached the place where the music was coming from I told Sonny how much I liked his music and bought a CD from him. Since then I have collected the whole set ( or I will when I get the 2 new ones) Sonny's music is the prefered listening when I'm driving my car. Thank you for bringing such music into my home.

Ms S Flemming of Croydon:- I was so pleased to be able to have 3 of the CDs, it's wonderful the way Sonny's music lives on in so many ways, and I have been helped through nasty asthma attacks by relaxing to his music; and when my brother was dying of cancer, these tunes cheered me up.

S & R Fox of Sheffield:- Sonny was a great inspiration to many, it was a wonderful pleasure to hear his music and still is. Our family sing and dance to his CDs. I am 73 and love the old songs of yesteryears. We shall always remember seeing him and hearing him playing his beautiful music. Such a joy.
