In 1974 Rich and his best friend Ken Ray talked me into taking them to the Paramount in Portland to see a new band they had heard about.  I, being the older more mature sister, told them I would but that I probably wouldn't like it.  Somehow we got second row seats down front.  When Kiss came on... OMG! it was freaking awesome!!  The Paramount had theater type seats and everyone (including me) was standing on the chair arms!  It was the best show I have ever seen.  We went to a few other concerts until I moved to Seattle.  We always shared our love of good old rock and roll.  If there is a Rock and Roll heaven, they have a new fan!
