Richard Tucker Hi Bernie

I'm Richard Tucker. I was a lighting operator at 12 West, The River Club, The Undergound, The Saint and others. If you look at the invitation for Grace Jones New Years Eve on John Ceglia's interview you'll see my name. I worked with just about all the dj's listed at your site. Man o man does it bring the memories flooding back through my mind and heart.

Richard, I don't know if you remember when Sunday night in 1984 when Robbie Leslie could not make it in due to an emergency and Morty (Tories) and Howard Hesslein from S54 were nuts looking for a replacement to fill in that night.....I was a S54 regular and they offered me the night if you (would had rightfully so) been called.....

You did show up and we did meet and you were wonderful as a DJ as well as a light (guru...)

I still remember you did a mix of Hush's "Hearts On Fire" into Alphaville's Dance w/Me....

Great night.....

Alex

Dearest Richard - "Do you believe!"
I've said it for countless years and I think it's appropriate to share with the dancing public: YOU were the most gifted and inspiring lighting tech to work with and I always looked forward to our nights together. And our shared views of music were eerily of the same heart and mind.
Nobody has ever made the music of the seventies and eighties look so beautiful!
Forever grateful,
Robbie Leslie

Richard,

I Loved having you as my light tech my first night at the Saint (remember the A/C was on the fritz and it was f'ing hot under the dome?)

You are a true magician!
