.. Please click on the poster below to be directed to the website for the Bourgeois Tagg/Uncle Rainbow Reunion Benefit Concert for Richard Oates (former lead singer of Uncle Rainbow) scheduled on June 3, 2008. Richard desperately needs a liver transplant and it is our hope that we can make a difference for him and his family by easing some of the financial burden. The website provides information and links for purchasing concert tickets and for making donations to The Oates Fund. Thanks in advance for your support and I hope to see you all at the show!

Hey Lyle!
Congrats on all the coolness.
Killer sounds...
I saw your name on a movie credit (can't remember which--doy! but hey, I like to stay for the credits unlike most...what is WRONG with people!?) & got all excited for you.
Maybe one day I'll get to work with you again!
