I need to know why Gary's not with REO. I heard it was because Cronin demanded certain things, and Gary wouldn't subscribe to Kevin's ways. Who does Cronin...
Me too, Dennis! Did you see an interview with Gary years ago, when he was talking about why he wasn't with the band ? ... would pay big $$$ to see them again....
I too hope, yet don't feel it's likely REO and Cronin will ever come to their senses and reunite with Gary. It's a shame Gary was made the scapegoat. The rest...
Obviously Kevin thought he was Gary's boss and fired him! (A quote from Bruce on the "Wheels" video.) Man, I hate that guy! --The "other" Daryl ... From: DARYL...

I've been reading the posts for a while, but now I feel that it's time to say a few words. First, I greatly respect Gary for what he's done in the past, for...
Maryt- You certainly have a valid point, but what if Gary does want to come out but is afraid Cronin will cause more problems? Gary was taken out in the prime...
Gary's website does not convey that he wishes to retire from this world, and actually gives a clue that he is going to put together some original REO members...
From what I understand, Gary is writing and looking for financing for a tour and new cd, and is doing it at his own pace. As far as Gary owing us anything: No,...
Well then, if that's the case maybe Gary needs to tell us he's all done!! A message or a letter would be great! I'm a total REO fan (from the pre-Dave era) and...

OK, YOU'RE THE OTHER DARYL . . . . HA, HA, HA! ANY CONCERT STORIES OF GARY TO SHARE? Regards, Daryl Long...
Sorry! I wasn't smart enough to buy tickets to a show when I was younger. I figured, "they'll be around a long time," so maybe sometime in the future! Plus, I...

Lisa, Mike, Mike, the other Daryl, another Mike, etc.: Thanks for all of your opinions. I always like to hear what others have to say. I haven't spoken to Gary...
I've got one for you all! But it involves "Cry baby Cronin!" REO played Richmond VA in 1980/81. I was standing maybe 40 yards from the stage with my arms...
That's funny, Daryl. I have a funny moment that involved Alan. During the '82 "Good Trouble tour", a friend and I got second row tickets at the local venue...

I have a great concert moment! It's not funny, but it illustrates how wonderful REO fans are. My then 9 year old daughter has been brought up listening to REO...
There are some fairly recent ones in the photo section. I'd say for someone born in 1949, he's doin' okay. I've only seen Gary twice, but was up close for two...
Well said! I ask because I saw some interview with him at his home and he gained weight and seemed very hurt... I totally agree with remembering the old Gary!...
That's a cool story. --David R. Morris From: Dawn Clark Subject: [Gary Richrath] RE: Richrath Concert Memories ... wonderful REO fans are. My then 9 year old...
You are so right about Gary never being intimidated. Back in the late '70s, I saw Rainbow and Molly Hatchet open up for REO on different tours, and not one...
So true! Gary is the man up there on stage doing what he does sooo good! He is a guitar god!! Compared to the guitar gods back in the day? He was definitely...
