HI EVERYONE, As you can tell music plays a large part in my life as it did back "in the day". It's also quite apparent that THE KINKS have a very special place in my heart. That has to do with the sweetest person I have ever met in my life. That Sweet Heart is Katie Richards. She was a HUGE Kinks fan and I am proud to say that she is my daughter. On July 3 2007 she passed away at 14 years old. When she had to do a project for her 8th grade English class (music & lyrics , the impact on society) she went right to Ray, Dave and the boys. The tune, "Education" off of the "Schoolboys In Disgrace" CD, her grade A+ (sweet) !!! If I could, I would like to be able to thank Ray Davies and Dave Davies for there ability through music to have such a positive impact on such a special little girl. It was great to see her smile and laugh at Rays little digs on life and Dave's great riffs. Katie will be missed more then anyone could imagine, but with the Kinks, those sweet memory's are just a "push of a button" away. At her wake, the church was packed with her classmates. The last thing at this beautiful service was a slide show of Katie growing up. The music that Katie's two younger sisters Amber and Ashley selected for the slide show was The Kinks, the song, "The Last Assembly" off of the same School Boys CD, (yes, not a dry eye in the church) With "tears in the back of my eyes" still to this day, I would like to thank the Kinks for my 40+ years and Katie's 14 years of pure enjoyment. God Save The Kinks and Long Live The Village Green.....

P.S. It's still hard for me to write about Katie but if you Google up "Katie Richards Medford OR" It will give you more information on Katie.
Please if you read them DO NOT be sad.(Katie would not of wanted that) The articles will tell you a little bit more about a very special Girl. So instead of being sad, let the articles give us a "greater" appreciation for "all" that we do have.

God Bless and always, always, always, show your kids you love them.
Below is a poem I wrote for Katie's 17th Birthday...

"It's Just A Cake"

I hopelessly sit here,
Like three years ago.
All the candles are lit,
No Sweet Angel to blow.

I look up to the heavens,
And shout out WHY ?
The silence is deafening,
They dont hear my cry's.

Just one last quick puff,
Thats all I ask for.
Do I ask for to much ?
As I slumped to the floor.

Yet again with dismay,
I feel no breeze.
No wind on my face,
Just me on my knees.

I fight all the demons,
That lurk inside me.
I would let them all out,
But I cant find the key.

This battle is fought,
every day of my life.
I hope Im winning ,
But its not a fair fight..

You can throw theology,
Right out the door.
The bottom line is,
She's with us no more.....

She lives in my mind,
Which is very confused.
I just wish I could see her,
Put on some shoes.

She lives in my heart,
So were never apart
She's with me today.
As it's pumping away.

Yet my soul is still searching,
For the love that I lost.
So hard to find peace
At whatever the cost

Then I look to the heavens,
And I desperately cry.
Please, just one more puff
No need to ask why .........

We Love You Baby,

Dad & The Girls

Penned for my Sweet Angels 17th Birthday...
