Richard - Would you be able to elaborate on why you left Oingo Boingo? Did you and Kerry leave at the same time?

Sure I'll elaborate - but it's not very exciting. I left for a combination of reasons. Most of my income came from outside of the band, as I was a fairly busy session player at the time. So the band never exerted a huge financial pull on me, even though being in the band definitely added to my cachet as a session player. Boingo was always clearly Danny's band, long before I joined, with very little room for compositional input from the other members. No stress over that, but in order to flap my creative wings I knew I would have to fly somewhere else. That led to me starting my own project, named Zuma II. We ended up being offered a contract with Pasha/CBS Records. I couldn't give Zuma II the attention it needed while still in Boingo, and I was having a lot of fun writing songs and growing a band from scratch. Kerry Hatch was also feeling the urge to test new waters, so I asked him to join up with us. Unfortunately that band never quite got off the ground.
But ultimately the biggest influence on my decision was the birth of my first son, Keegan. Home with my wife and new baby meant a lot more to me than endless rehearsals and funky tours, so a few weeks after Keegan entered the world I tendered my resignation to Danny. It was all quite amicable. It was simply time to move on.

Richard, thanks for the insight. Very cool to know, and obviously things worked out well for you over the years. Did you ever consider joining back up with the band at any point after that?
Also, any chance you'll reunite with Johnny Vatos and company for the Halloween 2006 tribute?

I doubt you'll see me on stage again with the Boingo boys - it was fun back then, but I don't see any kind of true reunion in the works.

Hey steelh, good to see you on the board. I didn't know much about Zuma II beside the facts that it was a band with Richard and Kerry. I wondered what the music sounded like? I did a search on Zuma II and found this bit of info. Perhaps other forum members will find the information interesting and helpful.  Zuma II by Zuma IITrack-listing:
1. John Wayne
2. Wing and a Prayer
3. I know, I know
4. I'm Walkin
5. Here for you
6. Hard Rain
7. Lonesome Me
8. Sun is Dancing
9. Who Needs You
10. Hyrrt SundownCredits:Eric Williams - Guitar:Dulcimer:Vocals (bg)
Joe Turano - Vocals:Piano
Kerry Hatch - Bass:Vocals (bg)
Michael Jochum - Drums:Percussion
Richard Gibbs - Keyboards
Zuma II - Producer
Paul Lani - Engineer
Oh, good thing Ribbs got the performing with the Boingo Boys question outta the way. I'm sure the question would have risen down the road with two Vatos Halloween shows this year. -David |

Luke Bryan is my favourite US contry singer. His voice takes me away from all issues of this planet and I can enjoy my life and listen songs created by his. Now the singer is going on a tour in 2020. The concerts scheduled for the whole 2019, up to the mid-October. Ticket prices are moderate and available for all men and women with different income. If you love country music as mush as I, then you must visit at least one Luke's concert. All tour dates are available at the <a href=https://lukebryantourdates.com>lukebryantourdates.com</a>. Visit the website and make yourself familiar with all powerful Luke Bryan concerts in 2020!

Florida Georgia Line is my favourite country music band. Headliners Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are those guys that could make anyone sing along. It's the reason I like to attend their shows. And - that's surprisingly beatiful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the US towns and cities. For more information visit <a href=https://fgltour.com>https://fgltour.com</a>.

Breaking Benjamin is my favourite band of 2000s. Breaking Benjamin had so many hit songs! The ones I remember are 'The Diary of Jane', 'Tourniquet' and their hit 'So Cold'. These are real songs, not garbage like today! And it is awesome that Breaking Benjamin have a tour in 2020! So I'm going to attend their concert in 2019. The concert setlist is here: breakingbenjaminconcerts.com. Click on it and maybe we can even visit one of the concerts together! |
