What a blessing that I work with around 23 different staff now, some daily. All doing something to get me to the real music world. They are all around the world. With their help, my shows, novelties and CD sales, it will soon pay off, when Sonnys music is heard in America
Sonny will always say, It is always about the fun for me and entertaining. Giving people something to go home with other than just a show. Give them something to talk about, to remember. Let them leave knowing they will come back to see me again. I am a musician. I am a singer. But I will always be just Sonny Thurnall from Danville, Indiana. a farmers son
