Musical Notes From Heather Richards

“A Country Christmas” Hosted by Rick Barnes and Heather Richards held at the Glove Theatre was a Sold Out Success!! Thank You to all of you who supported our First Annual Country Christmas. The Good news is that we’ll be throwing A Country Christmas Every Year!! I can’t tell you how many people told Rick, and myself how organized the show was, and that it was like watching something from the Grand Ole Opry. A of Big Thank You to all the Performers!! Thank you also goes out to the Cheyenne band who learned all the solo artists songs. That is no easy task considering Christmas songs are filled with tons of chords, but also that we only had two rehearsals with the performers. They spent many nights preparing on their personal time to get ready for the show practicing, so they deserve a big Thank You!! And, Thank You to Lenny for providing sound. That again is no easy task when your spending hours setting up and tearing down equipment. Lenny has also provided sound for many benefits and showcases free of charge for the community and I would like to personally thank him for taking the time to do that considering he has more than he can handle working a full time job with overtime, building a studio onto our house and hauling equipment around to my gigs. And, You’ll never hear him complain. He Loves hard work!!

St James Luthier Church

It was nice to see a few faces that I recognized at the St. James Luthier Church Concert Series Gig. There were a lot of people that were new faces that really seemed to enjoy my original material. The Countrymans showed their support and always seem to like my original songs. Peter Betz who is always a faithful friend video taped the show and helped Lenny pick up some of his equipment. Joe and Rachel showed up to support me and helped Lenny as well. So Thank You to all of you.. And, A big thank you to Terry who filled in on acoustic guitar and harmonies. Terry and I have written many songs together and it was nice to share some of them with you.
