Richard Francis -- March 2009

I'm so glad to have found this. I just found out last night that Richard passed away last year. I worked with him many years ago and we bonded quite well, given our similar senses of humor and delight in the "offensive". He was a wonderful soul and I am really, really glad to have this clip of him as I remember him, especially referencing (and with) Lusijah and Jack, whom I heard much about over the years. Many thanks.

I found out this week about his death. I was shocked and called the station last night during the show he started so many years ago. Francis was instrumental in my early music career and had me on his show a few times in the early 1990s when I was only in my teens. After moving back to Oregon recently I was hoping to reconnect with him and only got to talk for a brief moment.
