Hi Rich Fans,
I've received a couple messages expressing concern about missing concerts that were not on the tour list and/or were reviewed after the fact. I wish we could get more information about Rich's concerts, but the fact remains that some of dates are not getting to us in time or at all. I wish there were more that we could do, but unless I receive the info I can't post it. I get timely updates from the William Morris Agency, but they do not book all of Rich's dates. I will hopefully get a chance to visit with Gay Quisenberry about this situation this Saturday, and hopefully have some news for you.
This will most likely be the last post for the year, unless I receive hot news about dates, which I will foward to you, but not post to the Archive Page as an official RichMailList item. Since the tour list exists on the Archive Page, I will most likely continue this practice from now.
So anyway, here are a couple updates...

Well, Rich wrote a musical called "Canticle Of The Plains." A CD of the musical has been recorded. It features Kevin Smith and Mike Tate of DC Talk, Leigh Bingham-Nash of Sixpence, and Rich's partner, Mitch McVicker on vocals. Rich didn't sing on the musical, he wrote it. The play is being staged, for rehearsal only at the moment, and the CD should be available in May. You can order it through Rich's management, or get it during the Ragamuffin '97 tour (May through Sep.). All profits go to Compassion's Native American Program. The play is supposed to start in the summer/fall of '97. I've also heard that a filmed version of the play will be made available...

That's correct Mark, However, a special advance performace is being staged for January 31st and February 1st in Wichita, KS, where Rich lived for many years and his management is based. The 1st night is sold out, the second still has plenty of seats at 13.50 each (2,000 seat auditorium). The night has not been finalized as far as agenda's go, but the rough outline is: 1 hour of Rich and Ragamuffines interlude with Jimmy doing some solo stuff and other Ragamuffins then a 1 hour short version of canticle, with Rich narrating, etc... it will NOT include the guest singers from the album to my knowledge, just Mitch singing...
