Have to ask Gene for the Richard-viewing count, but the first time we saw him was at Town Hall with Cry Cry Cry - that was last year, wasn't it? Couldn't be more than two years ago....

Afraid I'm not done yet. Another one like this might be - Resound? How about Tune Tailor? Too hokey for Richard? Probably. Uh oh, here I go.... Ready, Set, Sing Make Melody Sonorousness Singsong Fallen Timbre Songsmith Please stop me!! Could someone please check with Richard to see if he's settled on a title so we can lay this thing to rest?? A friend of mine plays a B3 and mentioned he wanted to make a cd and was looking for a title. Well, he still hasn't made the cd and over 100 suggestions later I still have not quit emailing him album titles. Help!

I know nothing about this show. Here's the catch: The show airs at 5 and 7 am! It airs next Tuesday. They stream online if anyone wants to listen. http://www.wumb.org/programs/thisweek.php ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 14:01:12 -0400 From: "Beth DeSombre" Subject: [RS] most/earliest Jim writes: > >- -Who else has seen RS enough to qualify as a stalker and might fall in >as number two on that list? Not nearing Ron's total I'm sure, and I'd never bothered to count (I recently did the math on post-Dave Tracy Grammer shows and came out at 35, so I'm pretty sure I've got stalker status there . . .) but I've estimate I've seen Richard between 25 and 30 times. Also, I think those of us who own one of his used guitars (I've got the Lowden) should get honorary status. . . > >- -What's the earliest anyone ever saw RS? 1992 also, I think. And quite consistently since then, including in some out-of-the-way places. I remember a show at Colby College (where I used to teach) at which there were, I think, three of us in the audience.

I don't mean, 7 am, I mean, > anyone on the list ever catch any of, say, the old fast folk bottom line > shows, or when Sparrow's Point was fresh and shiny? Ron? Sally? Well, pull up a chair and gather 'round Ole Granny Sally, children. I first saw Richard back in 1996, or was it 1997? I had recently discovered Dar, my first foray into folk music, and traveled to DC from Michigan for two Dar shows at the Birchmere in Alexandra, VA. This is the old Birchmere, back before they moved down the street on Mt. Vernon Ave. to their new digs, mind you, back when Ole Granny Sally still had all her original teeth. So anyway, Dar played two shows, and one night Richard opened up, and the second night Lucy Kaplansky did. (Shades of Cry Cry Cry to come?) At first I was like "Who is this opening act? I want to see DAR!" but then Richard started strumming that guitar and sang in his, you know, voice, and I was like "WHO IS THIS? I think I'm in LOVE!" Since then, I'd estimate that I've seen RS about 20 times, maybe? Still have never met Ron Greitzer face to face, though. That's on my list of ten things to do before I die, children. Sincerely, Ole Granny Sally ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 18:22:46 -0400 From: "Norman Johnson" Subject: [RS] Seeing Richard early I first saw Richard when he opened for Dar back in the fall of '97, just about 8 years ago! I was visiting a friend who lived and still lives in Northern CA-- she had introduced me to Dar's music the previous year. We saw the precursor to Cry Cry Cry (Cry Cry) in Santa Rosa-- the venue was the Luther Burbank center and it was a remodelled church. The highlight was Dar performing Mary Magdalen (which I had not heard before).

They still have a long way to go to get to No. 1.
