 Dear Aunt Suzanne,
Thank you and Uncle Dennis so very much for an amazing evening at Naperville's Last Fling!  You looked absolutely beautiful and Uncle Dennis never sounded better.  Thanks also for being so kind to the kids and our friends - it was such a big treat for them!

I wanted to know what you and Uncle Dennis thought of the Spa Girl Parties products?  Did you have a chance to use them yet?  I promise you that you will fall in love with the fabulously scented sugar scrubs, smooth and silky body butters and other delicious bath treats!  You will have to let me know.


Thanks again and we will see you soon

Love,Deana

Dear Deana,

I fully enjoyed the entire line of Spa Girl Products.  In particular my favorites are the body butter, manicure in a jar and my most favorite is the body scrub.  Uncle Dennis says that it makes my skin softer and I love the fact that I only have to use one product in the shower to get a scrub, moisturizer and scent all in one!
The coconut fragrance is my favorite.  It reminds me of our house in Hawaii.  People have come up to me and asked me what perfume I use and I'm happy to tell them that it's the Spa Girl Coconut scent. Then manicure in a jar is a time saver for someone like me who is always on the go and it helps my manicure last longer.  The body butter is so rich that I apply it to my hands and legs before I put on my hosiery to avoid snags. I would recommend these products over any other pricey products that I have used and let me tell you I've tried them all.
Thanks for introducing me to these great products. I've put your logo and link in my column for any fans that would like to check out these awesome products

Love,

Aunt Suzanne

 

I have tried many times to order Boom Child CD and have yet to be able to purchase it.  Please tell me where I can purchase this CD. This is the only CD we do not have but have tried to get.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lori


Dear Lori,
The only other place I can suggest is e-bay.
If there are any fans out there who know where to purchase this CD, please let us know.

Suzanne

Dennis, I grew up with your music here in Malaysia and I'll be traveling to New York in June. So my wife and I will be catching your show there on the 5th.
See you then

Adrian

Dear Adrian,
We are all looking forward to the BB King show.  Hope to see you there!

Suzanne


Bonjour les amis !! Dennis & Suzanne,
I'm happy to see you soon in Quebec. I already reserved my tickets for 6 & 8 June: Gatineau and Trois-Rivières.
It will be great in acoustic performance. Thanks for visit us again. You are a member of our big family in Quebec.

Gaétan

Dear Gaetan,
Thanks for your support of Dennis' music.  We are looking forward to visiting our friends and family in Quebec.  See ya soon!

Suzanne

Just a quick comment.  Thank you for the wonderful performance in Portsmouth, Ohio on April 18th.  I have been a Styx fan for most of my life, having grown up listening to your music.  It was a thrill to finally here your music live.  I was particularly delighted to hear Castle Walls, as that's perhaps my favorite Styx song and I heartily agree that Grand Illusion was the best Styx album ever. More than anything I want to thank you for your music and for sharing your talents with the world.  It was truly special and memorable to share an evening with you in our little corner of the world and I hope you enjoyed your time in Portsmouth.

Jay

Dear Jay,
Thanks.  We had a great time in Portsmouth and hope to return again soon!

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne & Dennis,
Last year we were invited to an AMERICAN IDOL birthday party, with stage ,Mic ,amps,and jumbo speakers where no gifts were allowed but a song was required
to sing (1 per family ).
My 5 1/2 year old son, Danny, practiced singing a song he said he loved. I guess we parents have more influence than we know. I guess I've played COME SAIL AWAY quite often because that's the song HE chose. He did an amazing job and can you imagine the wreck I was while listening .


Thanks for the memories & Happy Holidays..
Tommy

Dear Tommy,
As a parent, wife, sister and daughter of performers, I understand the waiting and praying on the side lines.
I'm sure you're son was wonderful. He also has great taste in music.

Suzanne

I saw you in Blue Ash, Ohio in August of 2007, you were GREAT. Is there any chance you will be playing in Blue Ash or near Cincinnati, for that matter, any time soon?

Thanks,
Dennis

Dear Dennis,
Thank you for your kind words and support of Dennis career.
Please keep checking our website for new tour dates.

Suzanne

Hi, I'm living in Germany and I'd like to know if there's a chance for me to buy something at the De Young store and ship it to Germany. I know that it's possible to type a German address when I want to check out in the store... BUT in this store you don't sell Suzanne's book. :( And that's what I'd like to order, Suzanne's book and the "Dennis De Young and the Music of Styx with Live Symphony Orchestra" DVD.
Please, let me know what I can do.


All the best and merry Christmas from Germany !

Anika

Dear Anika,

Happy New Year!

Saw Dennis & Company at Rib America in Indy. Great show. He still has the "pipes"!! Members of the band were
top notch and did a great performance.
I am very impressed by 38 years of marriage! Best of Luck in years ahead.
Thanks for the great music!
Larry

 

Dear Larry,
Thank you for your kind words and support of Dennis' music.

Suzanne


I never thought I would get to see Dennis perform again.  It was a thrill to see him in Indy at
Rib America.  In 1978, I purchased a limited edition Pieces of Eight album.
Instead of black vinyl, the album itself is the same picture as the album cover. 
I brought it hoping to have Dennis sign it.  Of course the place was packed and I never got
close to the stage.  What are the chances of having this signed.

Thanks. Jack
A Dennis fan since 75

 

Dear Jack,
Please send your album cover only with a SAS envelope to:

  • Grand Illusion Music

My wife, Melissa and I celebrated our 17th anniversary, which is August 31st, by attending your
show in Indianapolis on Saturday, August 30th at the Rib America Festival.  You and Suzanne are
an inspiration and a testament to true love.
We also saw you the last time you were here in 2004, and it seems like you just get better and better. 
This time was a bit different though, as we stood behind the fence backstage, along the canal and
watched you take the stage and deliver yet another stellar performance.
Your voice is still amazing, the band is tight as ever and the sound was perfect!  We yelled "Don't
Let It End" as you were taking the stage, but I don't think you heard us.  Nevertheless, the weather,
the atmosphere, the crowd, and the music made for a perfect celebration for us.  Let me just say,
there were a few hundred of us up and down the canal who were singing along to every song! 
Thanks for the perfect evening and continued success.  Please don't wait another 4 years to
come back to Indy!! 
DON'T LET IT END!

Tim


Dear Tim,
Congratulations to you and your wife on your 17th Wedding Anniversary. Thank you for your kind
words and support of Dennis' music.
We hope to return soon!

I was in the regular Army back in 1987-1991 during Desert Storm, the events of September 11, 2001 drew me back into the Army, I re-enlisted December 7, 2001.
I remember back in the 90's that there were two different DJ mixes for "Show me the way", if at all possible I'd like to purchase both mixes as they bring fond memories of the days gone by.

Thank you,
SGT Keith


Dear Keith,
Thank you for defending our country! We do not have a license to sell "Show Me The Way."  The only suggestion I can make is to check e-bay or Amazon.com.
As for the DJ mix of  "Show Me The Way," perhaps one of Dennis' fans checking out this site can be of help to you?

ANY FANS HAVE A COPY OF DJ MIX..."SHOW ME THE WAY?"   Please help Keith out.

Suzanne


I'm looking to purchase the original version of desert moon with the song boys will be boys on it is there any place I can go to buy it .

Thank You, Glenn


Dear Glenn,
I would suggest e-bay or Craig's List.

Suzanne


Hi Suzanne, I want to say Thanks for the music and the good times + I need to know ¿where can I find the lyrics of Boys will be boys?

Alex


Dear Alex,
Thank you. I'm not sure, but again I would suggest e-bay or Craig's List.

Suzanne


Hey Suzanne and Dennis,
Just caught you at the Jacksonville Landing in Florida.  Thanks for the great memories.  I stopped by to ask you Suzanne, if Dennis remembered playing a place called Knight's Palace back in Mt. Prospect, IL.  You said he did and then in the concert he went on to say he met you at Prospect High School? 
I also remember Styx playing there after a "walk-a-thon".  Yes, we're going back a lot of years!!!  Did you graduate Prospect??  Growing up with Styx was great! 
Again, thanks for getting to Jacksonville!


Cindy

 

Dear Cindy,
Thank you for supporting Dennis' career throughout the years. Yes, we both remember a place called 'Alices.'  Dennis and I were married and our daughter was about a year old, when the band played this club.
I think you might have misunderstood, Dennis and I met at a Mendel Catholic High School dance.  Mendel was an all boys school at that time.  I attended an all girls catholic High School.  Dennis attended a co-ed public High School.  Hope this clears up the confusion.
It was very nice meeting you!

Suzanne


I'd like to know why I cannot find "The Grand Illusion" and other Styx albums remastered? Is this in the works, still? It seems like this would have
been available ages ago, but I can't find any. Thanks in advance!

Steve


Dear Steve,
Universal Music owns the masters of most recorded Styx music.  I would suggest calling them to find out where to purchase the albums or CD'S
that you are looking for.  If all else fails try Amazon or E-Bay.

Suzanne


I just wanted to say a "BIG THANK YOU" to Dennis and his Band for such a superb performance at the Jacksonville Landing on 10/11/08. The show was mind blowing.
Thank you

Best Regards
Vineet

 

Dear Vineet,
You're very welcome.  We all had a great time!

Suzanne


I happened onto Styx by accident. In '83 my parents got us cassettes for Christmas. I got Motley Crue, and my brother got Kilroy. Without listening we decided to trade.
He now has an eternal concussion from the head banging, and I have everything you have ever recorded. Can't wait for "100 Years" to come out in the US.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great music over the years.

Brian


Dear Brian,
You're very welcome.  Great story, I hope your brother has recovered?

Suzanne


I pray that you all have a safe and enjoyable time while in Germany! We will miss you guys back here in the states!

Your fan in Virginia, Gary


Dear Gary,
Thank you!

Suzanne


Will Dennis ever come to England to tour?

David

Dear David,

Hopefully?

Suzanne


I am just writing to invite you and your family to dinner in Findlay, Ohio (Flag City USA) anytime that you might be driving past our great city. I have followed you and your bands since the mid 70's. The last concert I went to of yours was this summer in Cleveland Ohio at the rib off. You were Great.  Any time that your withing 150 mile of me I try and attend.
Thanks for listening. Pete... PS I was the guy standing in the 3rd row 3rd seat to your right singing all the songs with you.

Peter

Dear Peter,
Thanks for the invite and the e-mail! We hope to be seeing you again in 2009!

Suzanne



Dennis and Suzanne,
Congratulations on your Jeff Award, it is always great to see you receive all the recognition that you deserve. Next week Karen and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and the party will include music, many of your songs as well as our wedding song, Truely, sung by Lionel Ritchie.
The most recent song you wrote for Suzanne, Breathe Again, will be part of the music selection, I hope you don't mind but after the three thank you's I will play the remainder of this song as it reflects a great deal of how I feel for this lady that has put up with all my crap for all these years, and although I know this is an old saying, behind the success of a man always stand a great lady. I hope you guys have a great trip to Germany, we know the audiences will be glad to see and hear you sing.
Take care and again congratulations on your award.


Paul & Karen


Dear Paul,
Happy 25th Anniversary to you and your wife.  She sounds like a very special lady.  Have a great party and don't forget to dance with your wife!
Thank you for your kind words and support of Dennis' career

Suzanne


Congrats on the Jeff, y'all!  Well done.  Well deserved.

Kathy

Dear Kathy,
Dennis was so honored to receive this award that when we brought it home there were actually 3 in our bed that night...Dennis, Jeff and me!

Suzanne
