I spoke to Richard today. He is doing as well as can be expected after something like this. I’m glad to know that those who have met Richard realize that this libel is false and the result of a very bitter situation which should never have been publicized. Just keep him in your prayers and you can all be sure that whatever you hear is indeed false.

I have not yet seen this e-mail that you have described. But it bothers me. My family and Richard were good friends before he ever joined DBQ. We would sing together in VA and NC when our schedules would allow. I am surprised to hear that there could be any terrible rumors about him, as he was such a blessing to know.

Unfortunately, I have not heard from him since New Year’s Day of 2004. I called him to tell him of my engagement. He wished me well and that was the last we heard of him. I hope that all is well with him and that any false rumors will be put to rest.

Hmmm, let me guess…Andrew Ishee will exit PSQ?

And this letter about Richard Simmons? I’ve only heard about it…

Lacey– I’m sure your right about being spared and after having thought about it more since my first post I would tend to agree with you. I’m sure if it’s of a personal nature then there’s probably no reason for the fans to know of it at this point anyway!

I have also heard that a prominent pianist will be leaving a group within in the next month…unfortunately, I suspect it will be the final nail in the coffin of a group that has had way too much turnover in recent months, as the piano player is the last star among them.

Thank you Avery for mentioning that email. I wanted to ask if you had seen it but I didn’t want to be part of spreading it, if that makes any sense? A friend forwarded that thing to me and I sat with my mouth dropped open the whole time reading it.
To bbq and anyone who hasn’t read it, be glad you were spared. Without hard, verifiable evidence to back up the accusations it just creates more questions for people that aren’t directly involved in the “situation”. I do hope that the truth, whatever it may be, comes out and justice prevails before this thing is spread any farther as just an unsubstantiated rumor.

Thanks for posting the message about the inflammatory e-mail only to leave us hanging. Have a happy thanksgiving
