A Letter From The
Suntones Family
Dear Grady,
My dad just sent me your website and I finished up listening to one of
the greatest things I've ever heard!!! Kudos to you and your staff for
doing such an accurate and thorough job of presenting the history and
music of The Suntones. I know I'm very prejudiced, but I wanted you to
know how much I appreciated you working so diligently to create what
for me will be a tremendous keep sake. There are songs on this program
that I've never heard, recorded versions I had not been privy to, etc.
Gene's grandkids are going to flip to hear so many wonderful things
about their grand dad as well.
The Sons of the Tones (me, Terry Franklin, Todd Wilson and Joel T.
Rutherford) had such a wonderful time up in Alexandria, VA singing on
the same stage with our dads recently. To be able to sing my dad's
arrangements gave me a whole new respect for his giftedness and a
renewed appreciation for the unique showmanship of the Suntones. My
gosh, they are all nearly 70 and still locking chords that would make
90% of all barbershoppers green with envy. Okay, enough boasting about
my old man and his cronies. Of course I'm proud. But I'm also eternally
grateful for my heritage in barbershopping, my "Gene" pool and the
musical ear that only a lifetime of barbershopping could bring. I hope
we sons can get together with the guys and ring a few more chords in
the future. I'll stay tuned to your website. Thank you once again for
what you've done to honor the 1961 champs, and what you are doing to
continually promote the art form so many of us hold dear to our hearts.
Sincerely,
Bruce Cokeroft - Son of Gene
