From: Reinhard Haubner on behalf of Four Points Sheraton Chateau Elan - Sebring, FL re: country music legend David Frizzell
Dear Celebrity Direct, 

On March 18th, 2010, the Animal Welfare League had their first concert which featured: Wilson Williams & His Platters, Glenn Leonard's Temptations Experience, Pam Darden's Marvelettes Revue and The Legacy of "Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters" as performed by his son Ron David McPhatter, the performers were outstanding!

We would like to thank Cord Coslor and Wilson Williams for the direction they provided us and assisting us with the questions and concersn that arose. Mr. Coslor worked very hard side by side with the Animal Welfare League to make sure everything ran smoothly and productively, and it did! We look forward to continue working with Mr. Coslor for our annual concert to benefit the homeless animals of Charlotte County, Florida.

We at the Animal Welfare League would like to extend our gratitude for guiding us in one of the most successful fundraisers in Charlotte County, Florida ever.

Sincerely,

Aggie Aguila
Assistant to the Director


From: Reinhard Haubner on behalf of Four Points Sheraton Chateau Elan - Sebring, FL re: country music legend David Frizzell
Dear Mr. Coslor,

David Frizzell made our day with his performance at the Four Points by Sheraton Sebring, Chateau Elan. Both his first and second act was outstanding, he is a true showman getting his audience involved with the show.

During break, our guests truly appreciated the way he stood and gave autographs and posed fro pictures. He was down to earth and seemed more than happy to be there with each and every one. We have received several compliments regarding the quality of Mr. Frizzell's show and his remarkable performance. Many want to know when he will be back at the Chateau Elan.

As always, it is a pleasure to work with Celebrity Direct Entertainment.

Sincerely,
Reinhard Haubner
GM, Four Points by Sheraton
 


From: Deb Picard on behalf of DB Sound Systems - Port Charlotte, FL re: Cord Coslor and Celebrity Direct Entertainment
Dear Cord Coslor,

DB Sound Systems would like to extend its appreciation for all your work on our shows at The Charlotte County Expo Hall of The Bellamy Brothers and David Allan Coe.

The information and work that you provided for advertising with both the radio stations along with the newspaper ads along with setting up radio interviews with the acts was very impressive.

DB Sound Systems has the experience to know all of what is needed to be done on production.  The other details that you handled of coordinating the feeding of the acts, payment with management, meeting the acts on the edge of town and getting them to the facility were all very much appreciated and were less details for our company to handle.  We work with many agents and we have never experienced an agent to go so far above their job description to insure every detail was covered and handled.

Cord, to sum it up, it was best said when Don Brown from our company mentioned you were doing everything shy of parking the cars.

Sincerely,
Debra Picard

From: Thomas Stephens on behalf of Stafford Township Educational Foundation  - Manahawkin, NJ re: Wilson Williams & His Platters
Dear Wilson / Celebrity Direct Entertainment:
   I know it has been several months since you, Sase', Lonza, Melvin and the crew visited us at the Stafford Township Arts Center's OceanFirst Theater, but I could not allow another minute to go by without reaching out to you. Having you perform in our soon to be annual Rockin' Oldies Valentine program truly made the holiday this year spark for hundreds of audience members who chose to celebrate the night of love with us. You are a credit to the legacy of The Platters with your skillful vocals and natural ability to generate sincere public appreciation.
   I never thought that a program could make a conventional theater audience jump to their feet to dance in the aisles. Your February 14th was honestly one of the best programs we have presented to date. I continue to receive letters and e-mails from patrons asking when we plan to have you return. Of course, I have to admit, I look forward to a return engagement myself.
   Each of you was a joy on and off the stage. Having met each of you, I have a better understanding of what Louis Armstrong meant when he said, "I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people." All I can say is that if our audience members were not fans before, by the end of the evening everyone was a convert. And, as you'll remember, most attendees left with autograph and CD in hand.
   Thank you again. Please always let me know when you'll be in our area. 
   Sincerely, Thaomas L. Stephens, Exec. Director

From: Amy Raspa - limo driver  - Pam Darden's Marvelettes Revue

Dear Miss Darden,
I was your Limo driver to the Philadelphia Airport from Manahawkin NJ this past Sunday morning. Thank You for being one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met! As a cook in Atlantic City for the past 30 odd years, I have met some famous people. Some have been just a passing "Hello", others have been in extended conversations. Isn't nice to know you rate among the tops of all these people? I hope I drive you again if and when you come back to the South Jersey area. It was a pleasure. Amy Raspa - Little Egg Harbor, NJ


From: Tammy Barber on behalf of South Carolina Ballett - August 27, 2005 - Surf City All-Stars
Cord ~ 
   The event was spectacular!  The weather was perfect, the food was outstanding, the nine open bars (including the five specialty bars) were awesome...and the Surf City All Stars rocked the house!
   We had over 1,500 patrons, two magazines, two newspapers, three TV stations and two radio stations attend.  The trees on the grounds were covered in white lights (loaned by the City of Greenville), we had hundreds of stars hanging from trees, décor bounding beach balls everywhere, tiki Gods with flaming torches, bubble machines, etc.,etc, etc.
   You can speak with the band, but I am sure they had a total blast. After they performed, they freshened-up, changed clothes, (they were free to hang out in the rec room downstairs which is where they chilled before they performed) but instead, they went out, walked around the grounds to visit all of the fifteen restaurants' tents, talk to people, etc. and had the best time.
   Sunday the band called from the airport just before they flew out and David told me the band wanted me to know that they all agreed it was "the smoothest run, most visually exciting, most hospitable event they had ever played in their careers."  WOW...they didn't have to call us back at all...what a wonderful thing to say and do.  They said they'd play it again next year if we wanted them.  :)
   We had Williamson-Evens here filming the event and we will send you a copy for your files. It was OUTSTANDING!  We are SO pleased...and now...the only thing I need is one week at a spa to recoup from the 10 months of planning. :)
   Thanks so much for all your help...I could not have done it without your partnership.   We'll be talking soon about Beach Ball 2006...any ideas? 

Tammy                                           PS:  Hope to see YOU at Beach Ball 2006.  :)



Thanks, Cord, for the gig and all you did to make it happen. It turned out great and I think everyone was happy. Tammy was cool and seemed to like our show. We went to the wrong terminal for the flight (private jet), but after that, it was smooth. Let me know if there are any other events we can do together.
Thanks again- David Logeman (of the Surf City All-Stars)


December 11, 2002

As the new General Manager of Harborside Event Center, I have been working with Celebrity Direct Entertainment to assemble an "Oldies Series" that not only brings amazing talent downtown to Fort Myers but also offers it an an affordable price without compromise to quality. When presented with the opportunity to bring "live" events downtown, I began to ask many of my colleagues and community leaders what their opinions were on the subject. Unanimously, everyone has shown both interest and excitement knowing that this is yet another positive step in the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Many businesses have expressed interest in cross-promotion as well as sponsorship. Having promoted several hundred concerts in Miami and Houston, I believe this enthusiasm indicates that the residents and businesses of Fort Myers not only are interested in "live events" but also in the rejuvenation of Harborside Event Center and the downtown area.
[     ]
As you can imagine in the concert business, TALENT + AFFORDABILITY + UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY = "SUCCESS". I believe Celebrity Direct Entertainment has assembled all the components necessary to promote an amazing series for our community. On behalf of the City of Fort Myers, I thank you for your support of the Harborside Event Center and hope you will join me on Friday, January 17th at 7:30pm in supporting the inaugural event of the DOWNTOWN CONCERT SERIES, the "Elvis Presley Birthday Bash."

All the best wishes for success in 2003!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Rose Bernal-Rundle, GM

** REGARDING CDE ARTIST AL HOLLAND **

Al was just wonderful!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Although the weather wasn't ideal, I can't imagine another performer being as flexible or high spirited.  Among the audience was my father, a bit of a musician himself with a critical ear, and Billy Sherrill, famous country music producer & writer of most recently named #1 song of all time, "Stand By Your Man". He is most noted as being the agent for Tammy Wynette & George
Jones.  I didn't tell Al this before hand, of course & he doesn't like to be recognized but the reason I share this with you is that he truly was impressed with Al.  I wanted you to know (please pass this on to him as well) that everyone, including the "experts" were very complimentary.  If you could, please send me a business card, as I would like to have your contact info. as well as Al's name for future.  We will definitely keep you in mind for upcoming needs.

Thank you for fast-tracking this along & for your great recommendation.  I hope to keep in touch,

-Stephanie

Subject: DePamphilis/Farchione

Well, Lindsey and Jared's "Fairy Tale" wedding was a success and, along with the special couple, Al was the hit of the evening.  EVERYONE was surprised and THRILLED.  He was PERFECT.  Don't tell Gene but, I think I have fallen in love with Al - ha ha.  He is FABULOUS and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to his music.  We would like to extend a thanks to Al but, do not have his address.  I know when Lindsey and Jared return from their honeymoon, they too would like to send a note.  Would you have his mailing address?  And, we'd love to have a schedule of his upcoming performances so we can listen to his sweet/smooth tunes!!!!!!!

Again, thanks for all your help and cooperation in making L & J's wedding an extra special one.  We will certainly be in contact with you again about Al performing at other functions we will be associated with.  He is a "special friend" we'd love to keep in contact with! 

Sincerely, Gene & Sherry Zvolensky and the "New" Lindsey and Jared Farchione
