Bobby's Transplant timeline
29th Annual Kidney Ball
Join us as we honor Dr. Francis McCusker, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, and 1960's teen idol and transplant recipient, Bobby Rydell, at the
29th Annual Kidney Ball on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at the Hyatt at the Bellevue.
Don't miss the VIDEO
of Bobby's surgeons discussing Bobby's double organ transplant surgery in July, 2012. He continues to do remarkably well thanks
to a team of remarkable surgeons at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and his organ donor angel, Julia.
A clip from a Meet & Greet on the Malt Shop Memories Cruise last month. Listen to Bobby's version of Mack the Knife with just a piano. This was Bobby's first appearance post surgery.
October 1, 2012
Bobby is doing amazing, only 11 weeks post surgery for a double organ transplant. He has not suffered any bouts of rejection and
has gained 30 lbs already. He's back to playing his drums and even had a rehearsal Monday to "check out the pipes," which, by the way,
are better than ever. His God given talent is still here, thanks to his angel donor and the gift of life she and her family gave to Bobby. Bobby asks that all his fans look into supporting organ donor programs in your local areas. His organ donor saved several lives besides
his.
September 28, 2012
Bobby was 11 weeks post op yesterday. Last night he sang for the first time since March 5. Amazing how different life is when you get thru the dark tunnel and
come out on the other side. Check the attached video of a private rehearsal session at The Philadelphia Clef Club. Be sure to click through all
the others from that night.

Cronkite, James Earl Jones, Jack Klugman, Helen Hayes, Jessica Tandy, Patti LuPone, Anna Moffo Sarnoff and Tony Randall.

The show at the Hilton in Atlantic City last weekend was a smash! Bobby performed to a sold out crowd who were treated to one fine solo
performance. Bobby not only sang up a storm for an hour but he had the audience in stitches with his comedy act. A standing ovation was the nicest thank you.
In case you've never seen Bobby's show; here's some reviews we've gathered for Bobby's website.

Join Bobby Rydell on the Malt Shop Memories Cruise!
We're dusting off those old 45's, turning up the jukebox and transporting you back to the birth of Rock n' Roll. Twist and shout from
morning until night to your favorite music from the 50's & 60's.
We’re thrilled to announce the first ever Malt Shop Memories Cruise. Time Life's Malt Shop Memories 10 CD music collection was
first responsible for bringing this era back to life and inspiring this cruise. You may remember the TV show, filmed at the famous Ruby's diner and
hosted by Bobby Rydell. Fans purchased millions of the "Soundtrack of Your Life" and now for the very first time you can experience all the
magic on your own floating Malt Shop.
All your favorites like Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Lesley Gore, Lou Christie, The Platters, The
Drifters and more will perform for you in an intimate and personal setting. Your host, Jerry Blavat, the Geator with the Heater, will be playing the
platters that matter and keep you dancing all night long. We'll have a sail away sock hop on deck, a Frankie Avalon Beach Party by the pool, dance
contests and more fun and memories than you could ever image.
The Malt Shop Memories Cruise sets sail May 13 -17, 2010, from Tampa to Cozumel. This fun-filled trip will take place on the Carnival
Inspiration, a luxury ocean liner equipped with two pools, hot tubs, a state of the art fitness center, a mini golf course, beautiful dining rooms, and 24
hour room service.
This amazing cruise is on sale now, so hurry and book your cabin. Booking early gives you a better selection of cabins and better seats
for the nightly shows. You can book online at the event website at www.MaltShopCruise.com or by phone at 877-SIXTHMAN (877-749-8462). Please also
feel free to contact the producers, Sixthman, by email at customerservice@sixthman.net or via LIVE CHAT if you have any questions.
