Roburt Posted Monday at 09:27 Author Posted Monday at 09:27 (edited) FROM CHUCK ... Chuck & Richie -- about our show April 26th at the White Oak American legion (hoping to persuade John Papi to attend too) ... it was in the 1960s when the three of us became long time musical Brothers. Richie Merritt and I both worked with John Papi and we have so many great memories. After the Entrees and I broke up, I joined John Papi and his trio. And that's when I officially met the great Richie Merritt. I knew of his work and his success, but never officially met him until John introduced us -- I believe actually it was at the Panther Room on Route 51 ... then again at John's Cocktail Garage on route 51. I remember when Richie would come in and he would tear the house down and he's still doing that today .John Papi has retired but still a big part of our lives. He was a big part of our careers, and hopefully he will be there on the 26th of April and share some of our great memories. As you will know, in this business it's full of jealousy, larger than life. He goes with an honestly, says it from the heart. Richie and I both love and respect John Papi, as a man and for his tremendous talent. He is one of the best that ever played the B3 organ and quite a businessman. Richie I am truly looking forward to the three of us hopefully being together one more time.
