<<Oh no, that just did it. I will now go to work with a picture of Richard
in a gold two-piece in my head! Thanks Ed :-)
Should be an interesting day at work!>>

Well, I never mentioned this on-list, but maybe it is time.  I have found
the workday goes much faster when I think of RS in a racy little number.

<<Ha! Precisely what I was thinking. Man, I still remember my reaction when
that
hit the list. Maybe the album should just be called "Green Satin Pants" to
reflect all of the changes Richard's made in the past year.>>

Can someone refresh my memory on the green pants?  I'm beginning to feel
like a king with no clothes on this one.

You know, this might be true! My work day is already half way over and 
it went by in an instant. On second thought... it could also be because 
I had one meeting after the other.... neigh, I think it was Richard in 
his gold two-piece. I think that would make for a very nice cover shot 
for the live album, BTW.

No, I see him in a nun's outfit (how's THAT for a "role in black and white," eh?), changing a tire on a Kenworth near Sparrows Point, on his way to an INS interrogation with an Argentinian grandmother named Nora.  

During the Civil War.

Hey you guys,

No, I see him in a nun's outfit (how's THAT for a "role in black and
white," eh?), changing a tire on a Kenworth near Sparrows Point, on his way
to an INS interrogation with an Argentinian grandmother named Nora.

...Who works at the Next Best Western on Reunion Hill.

Not yet. He jumps into the truck, painted in shades of gray, pops a pretty 
little blue pill, calls his wife May, who is bathed in the TV light while 
wearing a cotton dress and living somewhere near Paterson, tells her 'close 
your eyes, I'll be there in the morning,' and drives through the darkness 
darkness over the blue divide of cold Missouri waters.

What caused the flat? He drove over an arrowhead that someone cast away just 
beyond the iron gate.

I need to lie down.

Gene F.

Not unless there is an old man out front of the hotel waiting for the storm.

Subject: [RS] REVIEW:  Richard at Paint Branch Unitarian Church Feb. 5

Hey gang - Richard was GREAT last night at the Paint Branch Unitarian Church 
in Adelphi, Maryland.  James Keelaghan was a surprise opener in that they 
booked him to open after they had already done the big publicity blitz.  Rad 
accompanied James on a few songs and Richard on all of the songs and he 
really blew me away.

The show was in the Unitarian Church which is constructed like a big teapot 
dome (minus the scandal) and hence the acoustics were great.

Richard just really gets me every time, you know?  His voice is so powerful. 
  "Wisteria" always makes me shed a tear or two.  "Transit" was the last 
song of the evening (before the encore) and it literally had everyone 
spellbound and riveted.

Rad's accordion and especially piano really grabbed me last night.  During 
"The Ballad of Mary Magdalen" the piano part had a steadily recurring chord 
- - mostly it was the same chord for the verses but during the "Jesus loved 
me" choruses, there was a little progression.  I thought it added a lot to 
the song - it seemed like it was the constant voice of Mary Magdalen 
remembering Jesus and put the lyrics into sort of a past perspective.

That's something that probably all you musicians know more about, like how 
to arrange music to produce a certain effect, but what I know is pretty much 
just the effect that it has on me as a listener.

Richard talked about his theory of band management that we've read about 
here on the list before, and he said that Rad sometimes will have a 
libidinous catharsis on the piano at which moment he thinks that he is free. 
  Heh.  But I feel pretty lucky that the piano was in tune this time as 
opposed to the reports from the previous shows where they were taping, 
because it's just gorgeous.

James Keelaghan remarked to Rad when he came out to join him on some songs 
that Rad has a "cherubic visage."  What a great way of putting it.  James 
played "Cold Missouri Waters" among other stuff which was neat to hear.  He 
gave a whole long synopsis of the forest fire before playing it which really 
summed it up.  Has everyone read YOUNG MEN AND FIRE?  You've gotta read it.

I loved Richard's haircut.  The front part of it looks like a mini-pompadour 
the way it's gelled up slightly.  (Like a duck's ass!)  And can I also say 
that I loved his rollneck sweater?

What else, what else - Richard switched the verse order on "Arrowhead," 
which he opened with, but I couldn't figure out if it was on purpose or if 
he forgot the next verse, but it was no big deal.

Oh, he played "Sonora's Death Row" (is that what it's called?) by Blackie 
Ferrell (I think that's the name) which was the first time I had ever heard 
him play it, and it was a big wow.

This man is so talented.  I could go on and on.

Also, James Keelaghan told us that in Philly they had a few glasses of a 
fine single-malt scotch while Richard was playing and afterward he drove to 
his motel near the airport.  When he got his guitar case from the trunk, he 
thought it felt pretty light.  Yep, he had forgotten his guitar at the 
Point!

In a panic, he called the club.  They kept him on the phone for a half hour: 
  "Let me check in the dressing room...no, it's not there.  Let me check on 
stage...no, it's not there."  Finally they said "Actually, Richard has your 
guitar - he's bringing it down with him."  Heh!  Now, knowing how these 
fellows tell some tall tales, I don't know if I quite believe that the club 
kept him on the phone for a half hour (I would guess probably 5 or 10 
minutes), but it was a funny story.

I chatted briefly with Richard afterward, basically just saying hi.  I had 
planned on making him some brownies and then writing in white icing, "hey, 
doc" and drawing a blue oval beneath that said "RS 500mg" (as in to simulate 
a pretty little blue pill) but my friend's new apartment hadn't had the gas 
hooked up yet so I couldn't bake them!  Oh well, I'll get them next time.

It's back to Argentina for Richard, he told me!
