Folks,

It's true! The original members of RTF, Chick, Al, Stanley, and Lenny, are
coming to a venue near you.

I haven't been this excited about a concert since I was a teenager!

Check it here: http://www.return2forever.com

I'm taking my 17 and 14 year old musician kids with me as they're playing
Portland, OR on June 6th.

AWESOME!

Mark

Yeah Baby!

They were great.


BTW, I just saw the Moody Blues here in Temecula, if any of
you can get out to any of their shows on this tour, DO it.

They were better last week than when I saw them in 1974.

Al looks surprising great. I haven't kept up w/him, but I am glad he is
still going and looks very healthy/happy.
Thanks for the info man, I'll have to see if I can't make it to one of
those.

It wasn't the original configuration, but I saw RTF's Musicmagic tour back .
.. . whenever that was . . . and it was truly stunning. Jaw-dropping.

Airto and Flora were on Light as a Feather album (which blew my mind),
but that was pre-RTF. Not sure about Bill Connors. I know he was in
there somewhere.

Pretty much anything with Chick in it is like that. I saw he and his
wife, Gayle Morran, ex-Mahavishnu Orchestra singer, do a duet of My
Favorite Things, a la Coltrane and I was literally brought to tears when
Chick played those big magnificent chords and soloed over them.
