006-Shaolin Records Podcast: Richard Del Connor 1984 "Oboy" by THE RICH at the Music Machine night club Shaolin Records Podcast

- Music History
“Oboy” is from “LIVE at The Music Machine” album by THE RICH. This is the band I performed with in 1982 and 1983. I can’t even remember the guitarist’s name. The drummer is John Merritt who was also on the TEMPTATION album which is the first vinyl album release by Richard O’Connor & The Rich on Shaolin Records in 1984. I think the guitarist is Bob…
Guitar players should alway put their guitar chord through their guitar strap to prevent it from coming unplugged when they play or perform. Bob’s guitar chord came unplugged right as his guitar solo started. This album is a LIVE concert at The Music Machine in Santa Monica. Around this same time I was hired as a photographer for a local newspaper to shoot the Keith Richards concert there. I got a lot of good closeups standing at the front of the stage. Keith stood where I stood when I performed and recorded this “OBOY” song on my cassette player at the base of my microphone stand.
“Oboy” is a song about childhood memories starting in 1958 peddling around in my little fire engine.
