The story contains a couple tidbits that I was not aware of even after following Richard and this list for about three years now. Like the fact that his father sang in the Baltimore Symphony Chorus... There's a picture with the story, but I think it's the same picture that appeared on the back of one of the albums. It's good to see our buddy get more and more exposure. I wish they would do an article on his music and technique. brian. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 08:27:58 EDT From: "Batgirl of the Night" Subject: [RS] Lucy & Richard - At The Makor, N.Y.C.- July 19 >From: "Batgirl of the Night" >To: shindell-list@smoe.org, falcon-ridge@MIT.EDU >Subject: Lucy & Richard - At The Makor, N.Y.C.- July 19 >Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 00:41:16 EDT > >Well, I was fortunate enough to attend Lucy's 8pm show at the Makor in >N.Y.C. and I must say it was absolutely incredible!!!!
