Welcome to Tony Drake’s Past Guestbook
* Tony,
Just found your website and am thrilled to be able to personally thank you for the masterpiece that is "Suddenly". Always a big favourite of mine, but now that I have got a copy of "Footsteps", I now have two to choose from as I was blown away with it, great record!!. I intend to get a copy of your CD and who knows, perhaps one day soon you will be able to visit UK and perform for your loyal fans. Thanks again !!

Just a quick note to say 'Thank-You' for one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard: 'Suddenly'. Managed to get a copy about a year ago and it's always in my playbox, and I play it out any chance I get. Wonderful. Take care, Jamie Hartford

* Tony,
The pleasure is all mine my friend. I've always loved Suddenly (my own copy is on Australian MCA - what's the story on that???)) & Let's play house and your own version of Footsteps is superb! I already had the track 'Human' by a group called 'Neo-Experience' on a 45 on the SAHARA label (sounds early 80's I think). I didn't know you wrote that aswell! PS - great site!!!
Take care & god bless.
