The Old Guestbook - ending 03-09-2006

Hello Mr Furay
I need to take a minute to stop and thank you for all the happiness you have helped bring to me on this journey through life. At age 53 I suddenly realized that its time to thank all of those in music who have made my life such a fun trip. In college, I painted my heroes names on my apartment walls wherever I lived. you were up there with Clapton, Young, Allman and a select few. I went to college in n carolina, so imagine the 1st time I heard "crazy eyes" so far back in the 70's. Any-how, I'm still gigging thanks to the inspiration from you & the other greats. SHF #1 is still my favourite album of all time. Thanks so much for the great ride. God has blessed you.

Richie - "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing", "On The Way Home" and "Good Feelin to Know" - the most incredible, moving songs and vocals - almost 40 years later your voice still moves me in the most wonderful ways. And now your testimony and your life story move me again. Thanks so much!

Hi Richie....Thanks for all the great memories over the years. Just finished watching you and POCO again on the DVD and just can't believe all the time has passed and you guys are as good as ever. I've not gotten into your Christian music being Jewish, but the soundbites show it is just as good musically as ever. I hope you'll do more work with POCO and even another country rock cd. God bless, Robert

I have 8 kids and one tradition I have is after the birth of a child, I go home from the hospital euphoric (and exhausted) to deal with the other kids and get some rest for a couple of days before my wife comes home. When I arrive at home, first thing, I go to my stereo and play "Sweet Love" at full blast. "Sun shining in the night, a new born child..." Thanks for the song, Richie, and see you at Wildwood Springs May 28.

Richie - I've been a fan since Buffalo Springfield, and then since I picked up my first Poco album (which was a long long time ago). I saw you with Poco in 1973 at the Cow Palace in Kansas City... .stood smack in front of the stage at your feet and I left that show saying "WOW." Since then, I've lost touch with your activities, but tonite I was just cruising the web and I thought "hey, I wonder if he has a site". Richie - I collect musical memorabilia and I could be thrilled if there was a way that I could ship you a CD cover to sign for me. I will pay postage both ways. Whether you choose to do or not, I'm still a huge fan. Keep it coming....

I was on Al Perkins' website and saw your name on a link. You won't remember me but I sang with you and Chris Hillman on a Rusty Weir album out in L.A. around '74 or'75. I am glad you are well (aside from the hip problem) and following your heart. I play guitar at our little church here in Cisco. We have a small congregation and like your church we are pretty laid back. I am 62 now with grey hair, but still have all of it. Will be praying for a successful hip operation and recuperation for you this month. Maybe I'll talk to you again sometime. Later, Mack Tubb

Hi Richie, It was a fantastic concert last summer when you shared the stage with Poco "On the Waterfront" in Rockford. After the concert it was a treat saying hello and thanking you for making the music I've enjoyed for the past 37 years. I am waiting in anticipation for your new album, "Heartbeat Of Love", to be released. I've heard you have an all-star group of musicians and friends contributing to the project. Best wishes. Steve

Wow- I just picked up the CD to BS's "Again" this weekend- I had not listened to my vinly recording of that album in about fifteen years. Anyway, that started me down this road today which lead to this site. I have to say that I started playing music in part becasue of that album. My cousin sent me a cassette one day that had "Again" on one side and the Blind Faith album on the other side. I also heard B B King and Cream that day, and got serious about playing guitar. Been following through BS, Poco, SHF, and I dug up a copy of "I've Got A Reason" decades ago. Your testimony is quite provacative to me. Subtract the drugs, and the musicians you've worked with had much more worldly success than the ones with whom I've worked but there's a lot of similarity. Unfortunately, my wife who was a Christian when we met (the drummer introduced us) couldn't hang on after almost 26 years of being unequally yoked and so about eighteen months after my salvation she left and we've been divorced for about six months. If it were not for the grace of God, I'd not be here today to thank you for your music and testimony. jte

Hello Richie, Greetings from Alaska !!! I just hit your website and listened to the version of KIND WOMAN you have available for listening... I have heard 100's of versions of that song since seeing you first in 1971 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and this version is the most beautiful and soulful version I have ever heard. For some reason I kept hearing Neils voice (or someone who sounds like him) on harmony. Very beautiful. Just what this boy needed for the cold Alaskan winter. God Bless and the best to you and your family. Peace, Joe Ray Skrha

Hi, Richie, Fabulous to see you guesting on "Keeping the Legend Alive" DVD. Incidentally, did you know that the same DVD is for sale in the UK in several different guises - including "Poco In Concert", "Deep In The Heart Of The Night" and "Pickin' Up The Pieces"? Please reconsider coming to England. The Sage, Gateshead is a fantastic venue. We'd love to see you! Poco would be equally well received!! Best wishes, Ray Ray

Hi Richie, Nice to see your site, and to hear Kind Woman remade... I've always liked that song, and it was lovely to hear it "done country". I have been a fan of Buffalo Springfield for a very long time, and I was saddened to hear about Bruce Palmer leaving us as he did. Very sad. I'd like to thank you personally for the excellent music you and the guys in the Springfield gave us all, and to relate to you that many of your songs influenced me in a few things. I used to love busking those songs.... I'm just clawing my way back to a healthier state of being, after having been a bit ill in the lungs... no singing of any worth for a while. Did a gig the other night, and was impressed with how well it went ... nearly on the same form as when I was singing your songs to people passing in the street. And since I liked those songs and the feeling I had whilst singing them, I feel that this latest gig had me maybe a good bit closer to how I used to sound, and used to feel doing music. Like you, I had a change in career (now an applied educational psychologist specialised in autism issues for adults); but I still love the music. Gonna sing one or two of yours at my next gig, and let you know how it goes :) Best wishes to you and yours, Richie. David

I'm extremly disappointed that the concert in Green Bay was canceled. I had 4 tickets for my wife and I and our 2 children the minute they went on sale. I'm 52 and have been a fan since I was a freshman in high-school. What a great pleasure for me it would have been to see you. Not only am I a huge fan of yours but because of the credits on albums(those black pllastic things) I have become a fan of alot of other great music. Thanks again for giving me some of the best music on this Planet. Hope you tour some where near here again. Peace With Jesus, John

Hi Richie - I was listening to the radio the other day and the DJ played "Kind Woman", followed by "Good Feelin' To Know". I said right then and there that I'd keep an ear on THAT radio station from now on! Clark (MA)

Hi Richie, Had the wonderful experience of meeting you in Baltimore, Maryland a few years back at a church service. I wanted to express thanks for the inspiration, not to mention the endless examples of great music you've treated me to over the years. Just think how great an evening of Buffalo Springfield music might sound if you did a show with Stephen and Neil somewhere for the benefit of your church and Neil Bridge School. maybe you could have Jim Messina "sittin' in" as well ! What a wonderful thought ! Jim Hill (planting a seed)

Dear Richie, I still remember the first time that I listened to "Deliverin'", my first encounter with Poco. At that time, I was running from the Lord as a rebellious teenager brought up by Christian parents, listening to the likes of Black Sabbath, etc. and even though you weren't a Christian at the time, the music was so joyous and refreshing, I became an instant fan. In 1974, I coincidentally returned to the Lord, and was so delighted when you released "I've Got a Reason". It has remained one of my all time favorite albums, and I was pleased when it was finally released on CD along with the other 2 Wounded Bird CD's. So I just ordered "I am Sure" and "Seasons of Change" which I had on LP, and your book about Buffalo Springfield. I have actually found myself praying for Neil Young, he is also one of my favorite Singer/Songwriters, who I would love to visit with in Heaven. I attend a church now in Livermore CA, that is loosely affiliated with Calvary Chapel, Cornerstone Fellowship, and we would love to have you visit and sing. Let me know how I might facilitate that if possible. We have about 4,000 people in our church, and there have to be some Richie Furay fans!! God Bless You in your work for the Lord!!

Richie - 1/10/06 I wanted to write and say hello and thank you for all the years that you have extended your music to our lives. I am 55 and a retired drummer. Had to retire 'cause of arthritis and carpel tunnel in both wrists. I sometimes miss it, but I still enjoy listening to great music, and I have a nice cd collection to which it keeps growing for some unknown reason. Yuk yuk. I'm a first time visitor to this website and may I say it is a "too cool" website also. The main reason I write is I wanted to share this prayer with you that I found on the rock group Blackfoot's website. I don't know who wrote it, but it was written for their late drummer Jakson Spires who passed away in April '05. I thought when I read this that it might help someone who has lost a loved one. I hope you don't mind if I send this to to you. PRAYER OF SOLACE May Christ support us all the day long, til the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the last. Amen Richie I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I thought even though it is a native American type prayer it might just bring it all home to the heart of someone in need. I guess I got a little emotional because of the passing of Mr. Lou Rawls this last week. He was a one-of-a-kind singer for sure. My favorite song of his is "You'll Never Find" Anyway mi amigo take care, be safe, have a happy new year, and may God bless you and your family. Thanks again for your musical artistry sir.

Richie, Thanks for all of the great music for all of these years. I was in the crowd in the Spring of 1971 when Poco played the Fillmore East with Linda Ronstadt and Manhattan Transfer. Still one of the great nights of my life. I was also there that rainy night in Central Park when all of the equipment shorted out. And I was there in San Francisco for your band's club dates (1978?). You have been a bridge from my teen years, now into my 50's. I look forward to listening to I Am Sure. If you're planning a concert in New York, I'm there.

I have read your personal story several times and I find it very moving and inspiring.In the past I have listened to all of the band you were associated with and very much liked them all. I grew up a christain and I go to church every sunday but I am do alot of praying to the lord to help me in my life. 2005 was a bad year for my wife and I since we separated and then got back together but I am searching for the lord in my life and I feel I am not there yet. Thanks for your testimony.

Hi Richie, Just got your new CD "I Am Sure" for Christmas and have been playing it when I can. I work in a music store so I'm taking it to work and playing it there today. I really enjoy it all. So far my fav's are "Jesus, Eternal King" and "So Far To Go". I have "In My Father's House" also. Have enjoyed your music over the years. Your album "Dance A Little Light" was a great comfort to me when I was going through and very hard time in my life. Now that I have a record player I've got to find that one and play it again. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your next CD. God Bless! Richard

Merry Christmas. I just read your story, very moving. I haven't heard any of your music since SHF, so, I'll be checking it out. I attended Wittenberg U. in 1971-72 and met people who knew you in the Yellow Springs days. One even claimed to have stumbled on a Buffalo Springfield rehearsal in a barn there a while back. Sounded remote. Could be. Peace be with you!

Thanks, Richie, for the excellent "I Am Sure" cd. When I saw it listed on iTunes, I downloaded it immediately. The songs help me to think of and worship our wonderful Lord Jesus. You are my favorite song writer and singer. Recently I've been listening to the early Poco cds when you were w/ the band. Your songs are so full of tenderness. What could be more powerful than "Sweet Lovin"? And these songs were written before you knew the Lord. His hand was upon you all these years even before you realiized it. Anyway, I'm glad the Lord has allowed you to give us again your beautiful music. In Him, Kyle

As a Christian musician my wife kept nagging me to buy some Christian C.D's when I was stuck with Poco, Eagles , CSN and re-buying SOtthdp Hhllm`l `l` ylu on C.D.etc. I bought your latest, was palying it and my wife came into the room - listened ; 'this is nice!.Normally she hates any hint of country, but we both love it - for me it's still Poco in the old days with you! These tracks really lift me on the way to work! May God continue to bless your ministry -Chris

Hey Richie, About 2 weeks ago I was riding the train into Cambridge for a seminar on "Non-Violent Communication" (which is actually quite impressive)and saw in a local paper that Poco was playing at the Topsfield Fair in MA!! I hooted out loud! Well I just had to take the afternoon off and run down there to catch the show. Well I have been out of the Poco loop for awhile ( you know getting married, having babies, work, interpreter school for ASL ) and did not realize then that you had moved on. What a great show...Rusty and Paul sounded just incredible...their voices and instruments. I stay a bit and hoped for an autograph and one of the roadies saw that I had the cover to Deliverin' and stated "Any fan that has been around as long as you have definitely deserves and autograph....a few moments later he returned with both Rusty and Pauls autographs!! All of this lead me to your webpage...I hope you may have a chance to read the email I sent to you regarding spirituality....it is so worth the read. Then this weekend I was in a store and was passing some CD's and I saw the Legacy CD, which of course I purchased....I could have sworn I heard your voice on a few songs...unmistakable!! Hope you can find your way to the East Coast soon. All of this revisiting of the band in the last week has really taken me back to a more carefree time in my life. Your songs with Poco have and will continue to stay with me......thanks!! God Bless, Jane

I am really attached to the Buffalo Springfield songs, whether you wrote or performed on them. I was listening to Last Time Around tonight, and wondered what had happened to you. (Some of the other members are pretty much in the public eye in an ongoing manner). I was happy to find your web site. I didn't get to hear you live in days gone by, but maybe I will get a chance to hear a different you speaking in your church in Boulder some day. Thanks for the memories, and for sharing your new life.

Thank you for your testimony and thank you for your music. God works in mysterious ways, no? Saw Poco in Cerritos last night (9-24-05). Was hoping you would be there. Saw you in Costa Mesa a few years ago. What a blessing you are to the church and an inspiration to music ministries everywhere. Keep the faith. Steve Proctor

Being a pretty "straight" girl of the 80's; I don't know much about Richie or the music of the 70's, however, I got really curious to know more after your appearance at the Loggin's and Messina concert I attended in Minneapolis the other night. My husband performed a little web search and found your website, wow what a wonderful surprise to find out your a brother!!! Its so refreshing to find someone in the music industry who walks in the ways of the Lord. My husband and I have full time jobs but God called us to lead an outreach to the at-risk youth in our area. Feel free to check out our website to find out more. God Bless you, Becky

Got home from work Friday night, flipped through the local paper, and my eyes almost bugged out when I saw Richie Furay was going to be at the Overture Center in Madison. Holy cow! Listening to BS and Poco was always such a thrill - especially seeing Poco in concert a couple times. I'm so glad I came down for the show - just wish my son hadn't been at a sleep over. Richie, your voice sounds as great as ever! Don't ever stop singing. Just hearing you sing Kind Woman live again was the best. Hope you come through Madison or Milwaukee again sometime, so I can bring my family. THANKS!

Hi Richie, My husband Steve and I saw you at Shank Hall in Milwaukee on the 13th of September and it was definitely a thrill. We were the pair married 35 years to your 38, remember? We've seen you in concert several times over the years but never had the opportunity to talk to you. Although I do remember you being in the audience of Andrew Gold show, seems like forever ago and saying "Hello" to me in that amazing voice of yours. You never disappoint us with your voice and words and thank you so much for still sharing it with us. I really hope that you can find your way back this way very soon, now you're back in my life full force. I dug out all the old vinyl with anything Richic Furay on it. Please tell Nancy that it was more than a delight to talk to her at the show. Love you.

saw Richie last nite in Chicago. What a great show! And what a great guy, true gentleman. I had the good fortune to say hello to Richie outside the club and he was very generous with his time. He told me he was a bit tired as he munched on some candy for energy. I asked him to play Sad Memory but he said he wasnt sure they would play it since they had playd it recently. But lo and behold, after a great story about how he wrote his first song for BS while tooling with his acoustic guitar as Neil walked in and said "ive gotta do a guitar part over that," Richie launced into a great rendition of the song. That and Clancy made the nite for me. He did new stuff, POCO, SHF, two very nice devotional songs and about 7 Springfield songs. Voice was never better and musicianship excellent. He evoked great memories. Thanks Richie for a truly great evening. Bob Nemzin

If you were planning to attend the Green Bay show please come to Madison instead. It's not that far, and it's in a very cool new theater space. Info is available at the "Live Shows" link. Also feel free to e-mail me directly with questions. I live in the Milwaukee, but I organized the Madison show because I lived there for 15 years. Having seen Richie and band at Shank Hall on Tuesday I can guarantee that you are in for a treat. The drive down to Madison might seem long, but you'll float back up US-41! Believe me! So C'mon!

Hello Richie, I am REALLY looking forward to your show at Shank Hall in Milwaukee Sept.13th as I will be your opening act. POCO DeLIVEerin' was the first time I was exposed to your music, Crazy Eyes was always a favorite, but I gotta tell ya I was working in local radio when the first SHF album came out and I played the daylights out of "Fallin' In Love". Looking forward to hearing them all live....and giving serious thought to a road trip to Rockford to catch you AND Poco (together?) See you soon. Dana Erlandson

Hi Richie, I can't wait to see you on Sept. 15th at the Riverside here in Titletown. I saw you when you came to Appleton, WI a few years ago and had an opportunity to talk with you and Scott. Are you aware that Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens played the Riverside the night before their last show in Clear Lake. It is a very historic theater and there are great pictures of those guys from that show hanging back stage. See you in a few weeks. BILL

Richie, Truly, with all sincerity, respect, & appreciation, You have been a wonderful inspiration to me ... for many years! Indeed, I have been deeply moved by ALL of your music; and, your testimony has been VERY encouraging as well! Having been raised in a Judeo-Christian home, with a great family history of musical talent & appreciation, I feel so BLESSED! Significantly, I have walked a "razor's edge" of FAITH, HOPE, & LOVE, to get where I am today. Thru all life's many storms, as well as blessings, I've always had MUSIC to help; my interests include CLASSIC GOSPEL, BLUEGRASS, BLUES, CLASSIC COUNTRY, & CLASSIC ROCK --- ALL of which have been gifts from GOD that speak to whatever I'm experiencing at any given time! Indeed, it is a "GOOD FEELIN TO KNOW ... THAT SOMEBODY LOVES YOU" --- ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT SOMEBODY IS A LOVING, ALMIGHTY GOD! So, now that I am NOT a well man, having been thru multiple brain surgeries, & am a DISABLED VETERAN, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE; AND, I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW HOW TRULY INSPIRATIONAL YOU ARE TO ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH, RICHIE! GOD BLESS YOU! With sincerest Grace, Peace & Love, Keith Killgore

Hey Richie! Great to know that one of my musical heroes is well and walking in the "light". I had the pleasure of being asked to MC a Bruce Carroll concert this last June to debut his latest CD ("Big World"). Bruce had a nice line up of Nashville musicians with him that evening. Among them was Al Perkins. I had met Al after they played during an afternoon worship service and told him that it had been 33 years since I had seen him perform on stage. He says, "Oh yeah? Where was that?" I told him it was at the "Festival of Hope" on Long Island and he was playing with Stephen Stills and Manassas. We had a great conversation about the music and musicians of that time. I mentioned that I had read about him leading you to the Lord and that you now pastor a church out in Boulder. A friend of mine, who was a Poco/Buffalo Springfield/Flying Burrito Bros. enthusiast, had loaned me a copy of "In My Father's house" a couple of years ago. It was a real thrill to talk about the music and the common bond of faith. Al is a real 'down to earth' kind of guy. I felt like I had encountered a walking slice of music history. As I key this message I'm listening to "I Am Sure". Thanks for all the music you've made over the years and thanks for your witness. It's a thrill to call you my brother in the Lord. God Bless!

Hi Richie: I just watched the relatively new Poco DVD from Nashville and it was great to see you again with your friends playing that great music. I saw Poco (minus you) in Rockland, Maine in September of 2003. I now work as a school counselor (and have been an educator for the past 31 years) and when I am not counseling, I m playing music (guitar and harmonica) in a country-folk band. I like you am from Ohio- the Clevland area. When I was teaching in Maryland, I hired one of your frat brothers from Otterbein named Arthur Deeks. Remember him? He was a history teacher for me when I was asst. principal. He spoke of you once we discovered our mutual interst in music. Art gave me a copy of your lp on Roulette with the Au Go Go Singers. I don't see that record too often and treasure the fact that Art gave it to me. A very young picture of you is on the back with Stephen Stills and the others. I'd love to get a message from you so if you can e-mail me at::: cjewitt@msad5.org, I'd appreciate it. Any tour plans that will take you near Maine or Boston? Chuck Jewitt Nobleboro, Maine

Greetings Richie, I just finished reading your testimony and I was deeply moved in my heart. I'm 54 years old and a pastor as well, having gone through similar experiences. I have many CD's of course and help lead worship in the church I pastor. One of my favorite CD's is I've Got A Reason. That album greatly encouraged me and my wife just after we were married in 1981 as we went to Bible college. I've recently discovered the more recent CD's and also really enjoy them. Thanks so much for sharing your testimony with all of us. It brings much encouragement, hope and healing. Many of us out here thank God for you and pray for you. God bless and empower you. Scott M.

Hi, Richie! I saw your show at Humphreys in San Diego on 7/24/05 with Poco and was blown away. You still have one of the most recognizable and - how can I describe it? - soothing voices in rock. And to hear you sing "A Good Feelin' to Know" with the band was a moment I never expected to experience again. To hear my favorite song ever come to life was truly memorable. Thank you!

Dear Richie, From a fellow musician your music brings on a Good Feeling To Know!!! Eventhough we have never met,,thank you so very much for your musical gifts to the world. I was just about 8 years old when Buffalo Springfield was rocking but your song writing, Lead Vocals, and even more so your great back ups on everyones songs were inspiring (its a selfless gift to let go of ego and make someone else sound even better). Then Poco!!! I remeber working for my brothers buisness in S.F. 76-77 and we would listen to Poco in the office and on the road,,all the while working on my Bass & Guitar chops as well as my voice. Now I have my dream, my own studio @ my home. My band and I have finished one album & have started right away on our second one!! You have been a inspiration and a friend thru music for a long time! I hope this note finds you happy and blessed because thats what your music has brought to my life happiness & blessings and the joyfull sound of a song in the breeze. Take care & God bless.....Jeffrey Stepek Moorpark CA

Hi Richie, I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a fan I was let down because I was hoping to hear the blend of you and Steven Stills singing again, instead what we got was a CS&N/B-Springfield Hybred, my fellings were that it mock the memory of one of rocks greatest bands,on the other hand I feel lucky because I was at The Rolling Stones show @ the Hollywood Bowl presented by local radio station KHJ, which you guys were one of the opening acts,I remember just wanting to hear you sing "Nowadays Clancy can't even sing" which you did, and it made my evening (Thanks)..anyway I know that you can't answer everyones letter, but if you could I'd be interested in knowing how you felt about these 2 subjects...Peace Always....Rock

If Richie Furay had never written anything other than "Kind Woman" (just about as perfect as a song can be), his place in music history would have been secured. The fact that he also wrote "Crazy Eyes" and "What If I Should Say I Love You" -- in addition to so many other great songs -- is testament to his contributions. "Thanks Richie" for all the great music. I'm still amazed how the material from the late 60's and early 70's still sounds so fresh and original.
Larry Peacock <lpeacock@zoominternet.net>
Medina, OH USA -

I was listening to Springfield's version of "Kind Woman" just yesterday and I realized, I have never known who did the great piano work on the song. I know that the Springfield at that time was no longer working together on the album Last Time Around and dont believe it was Neil or Stills on piano. If ANYONE can enlighten me, I would surely appreciate it. And of course, if Richie could provide the info himself, it would be great.

Richie, I grew up listening to Buffalo Springfield and all the groups that it splintered into - I was the only one in my gang that had heard of Poco - all those years of reading liner notes! Now that Bruce Palmer has left us, the chance to see the original lineup of B/F is gone - I was too young to see you then - but Jim Messina is still around and Neil seems ready or at least wistful on Silver and Gold. How 'bout it? Buffalo Springfield again? Even Cream got together for a gig at the Royal Albert Hall! I have been listening to the boxed set of Buffalo Springfied cd's that my wife gave me last Chrismas and as always, am struck by how your songs still ring true. Thanks for writing them - I always feel young again when I hear Sad Memory and Do I have to Come Right Out and Say It!

Happy Saturday Richie,.....It's a BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY day here in Ohio, and I just wanted to check in to say hello. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Did you, or are you still planning a trip here this spring? In case you didn't see my last post, my home computer fried, so i've been using the library computers. If you plan on coming here, you can post to let me know on my guest book on my site. Hope you and yours are doing well. Peace & Love,.....Neil

I have followed you(not literally)since watching you at The Whisky bouncing on your toes onstage backwards.I am sure that it is somewhat of a distraction answering the question,"What about a reunion"?People seem to not notice that Bruce is gone.Besides, you already addressed this, in the book.I think that change is inevitable over time. We are not the same as we were at 23.What was, was. What is, is truly is.I look forward to seeing you in San Diego,I hope.In Christ, Bill.

The first time I heard Springfield I was hooked, and have remained so to this day. Through Poco and the SHF days I have stayed with your music and consider you to be one of the founders country rock, or in other words, today's country. Your more recent work touches me in a different way, but all music should create or enhance emotion, and your's does. I thank you and urge you to come to South Florida this year to allow the millions of fans down here to enjoy you once more. Along with Gram Parsons and James Taylor you have influenced my own songwriting and for that kind of peace of mind alone you have my unending gratitude and respect.

Hi, I just happened to find your website, it filled my saturday morning with joy. I enjoyed your music in the Buffalo Springfield & early Poco days. I too, after many years of pain & suffering , have opened the door to Jesus Christ as my Lord & Savior. Glad to know that we are brothers in Him. I'm looking forward to when we meet. God bless you, your family and flock.

Hello to you and all your family. You were my first love you know. Second Grade as I remember. Do you still know all the verses of Davey Crockett? I have enjoyed reading your story - funny, God convicts us if we just let him - I have enjoyed the things that you sent to mom, even after she was gone. I am so very thrilled for you that you have been so very blessed. I hope you and your family are well and I hope to see you sometime in the future.

I love seeing what God does in our lives, your "I Am Sure" cd has brought a smile on my face and joy to my heart. I have played it and sang with it to Jesus numerous times since I purchased it. As always Laurie with her violin is amazing, Scott is superb on the banjo and your words to Jesus are an inspiration. My home church is Crossroads but I plan to visit Calvary Chapel in a week or two.

Hello Richie,....I'm at the library, as my home computer crashed on me. Just wanted to say hello, and was wondering if you were still coming to Cincinnati this spring for a visit. I'd still love to meet up with you. I suppose you can post on my guest book on this matter, as I still have my web site, and I try to get to the library at least every other day to keep up on the happennings. Saw and worked the Dickey Betts & Great Southern show on 3-10-05 at the House of Blues in Cleveland, and man, what an incredible show, and very cool venue. You can also contact me at : 513-923-2914. Sure hope you can make the trip, and I could really use your spiritual guidence. Hope you & yours are doing well, and hope to hear from you.

Many thanks for the additional gig in London' Richie. Brilliant for your British fans. Unbelievably, due to work commitments, I am unable to attend!!! Next time, preferably in the next few years, please come to the north of England, or make the gig a Saturday date so that I and your other northern fans can get to work the following day!! Enjoy England and thanks for your music!

Dear Richie, I am such a big fan of yours and of Poco and The SHF Band. And very proud of it as well. Listening to you while I was growing up has had such an impact on my musical tastes now as an adult. The fact that I started listening to your music first really helped me shape the kind of person that I am. That whole country rock style that you introduced back then was so great and it still lives in me to this day.Some people hear your cd's when I play them and they are not familiar with you and I am very proud to tell them about you and who are and what you wrote and who you played with. Whenever I am feeling not up to par, I just put one of your songs on and I get back on track in no time. My sister introduced me to your style back in the day. She took me to the concerts in Central Park at the Shaefer Music Festivals when every seat costs the same and I can remember racing up to the front to get a front row seat to hear Poco. I was very young then. What memories! I think to this day my favorite album of all time is still A good Feelin to Know. What a Masterpiece!! Cmon.they were all great. Later on I saw you guys at The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. I will never forget it. When I had heard you cd, In My Fathers House, it was so nice to hear your beautiful voice again. And the lyrics on the cd are so great and very inspirational. In my opinion, you have one of the nicest voices ever. Keep singin'. Don't stop. Don't ever stop. Any chance of a full Poco reunion in the NY-NJ area?

Dear Richie, "I am Sure" is fantastic! I listened to it this Easter morning while drivng to and from church at First Presbyterian, Berkeley. Yes, a Christ centered church right in the heart of Berkeley next to the Cal campus. I lived in Boulder for 17 years and attended Rocky Mountain Christian Fellowship as well as Crossroads in Wheat Ridge. Richie, you were and still are a blessing in my life. Happy Easter to you, your family, & your congregation. In Christ, Brian Rademacher Petaluma, CA.

Shalom Richie, I don't know if you remember me...I was introduced to your church, Rocky Mtn. Christian Fellowship, by Craig Jones (1985-the year I accepted our LORD Yeshua...you baptised me in a swimming pool...I don't expect that that you should remember all the souls who attended back then but thought I would write a note to you. I was on-line and for reasons only the LORD would know I Googled your name and alas, I ended up at your web site as well as your Calvary site. I recently moved from Honolulu after living there for 16 yrs. and now preside in the Philippines. Anyway I would really like to communicate with you. If you get a chance would you e-mail me at the following: azarlengo01@yahoo.com Thanx Richie. Shalom and may the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless you and your family.

My wife and I have enjoyed your music since the days we were dateing (married 32 yrs), & we still get that "ol time feelin' " when we hear those great songs. It shows that you guys are still having fun playing the songs. I have played the DVD from "Keeping The Music Alive" CD that I'm surprised it still plays. Here's to another 38 years!

Thanks, Richie, for many, many years of great music. I grew up listening to brother's Poco and SHF albums. I remember finding "I've Got a Reason" in a store in Cambridge, MA, listening to it for weeks, trying to figure out what you were talking about. Then, a few years later, I became a Christian, too. Going back to that album, it all made sense! Praise the Lord for your gift of music. Thank you for using to encourage us in Him! Blessings!

Hi Richie - Thanks for autographing my old Buffalo Springfield & Poco albums. I am a long time fan of both these & your other groups. My friend Mike coordinated this when you picked up your printer after repair. I look forward to listening to your band this Saturday.

I stopped by the site for any news, and the site looks great. I've been listening to Poco since the 80s, when I grew up. It was a tough era because there was so much unemployment and drugs. Listening to Poco and Richie's music paid a big part in my life because it was wholesome, something that I could not say about most of the music of that era. Now that I'm an adult I feel even more lost because of a lack of spiritual guidance from those around me. I believe there's too much immorality in business practices, like hurting the environment and just getting rich people richer while others go without basic needs, and in people's social lives. I tend to be withdrawn because not many people around me share my values. It's hard to find a job that pays well but does not involved comprising my values. I was raised a Catholic but we didn't go to church and I feel like I would be unwelcome in a Catholic Church. Now I just feel like I am a Christian without a home. I believe that Richie's music will help me now more than ever. God Bless, Stephanie Royal Palm Beach, FL

Most people who post here thank Richie (as we should) for over 3 and a half decades of great music! Richie gives the credit (as he should) to the Author of music for his gifts. I respectfully suggest that all of us owe another debt - Thanks Nancy! for being the Kind Woman who has obviously been a source of strength, encouragement, and support to someone who in turn has blessed so many of us. "I Was a Fool" on the "I Still Have Dreams" album was a decent song, but it would have been a lousy epitath. Thanks to God, and to you, "I am sure" it won't be!

I saw Richie about eight years ago in San Francisco. I still think about it. I met him briefly, and he signed my copy of the book. Wish he'd come back. I saw Buffalo Springfield and Poco back in the day. Richie's website has prompt service.

I've enjoyed your's and Poco's music for 35 years and have just got the cd/dvd "Keeping the Legend Alive". Although it is excellent (as usual) I'd love to see the band "live" before I die!!!! Unfortunately, I can't get to the forthcoming Paris gig. Please, please come to England!! We've just opened a fantastic venue in the North-East of England. It's called the "Sage Music Centre", Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. I was fortunate enough to attend a concert last week by Crosby and Nash and they raved about the venue and the acoustics. Please Richie, it's not that far from Paris! 35 years is too long to wait to see the band!
