Jul 22 2008 9:29 PM

Thanks so much, Richard,
what a delight to meet you
here after so many years
of enjoying the music you've
created. I can remember
the first time I heard KC and the
Sunshine Band, it was on my
friends AM/FM radio (battery
operated) in a "fort" we built
between our houses. It was like
nothing either of us had ever
heard before. Then it was,
"Mom, turn it up please!" on drives to
the beach with 8-10 girls
singing "That's The Way"
at the top of their
lungs in the back of a (huge)
pea-green station wagon.
Thanks for the great
memories, and all the extraordinary
music. It stands the test
of time, and is just as vibrant
and exciting today as the first
time I heard it. It is wonderful
that you are still making music
and producing/arranging, you've
got the muse for sure!
Take care, Stacy Tuttle
