I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already but, Central IL.’s very own Gary Richrath would of celebrated a birthday today. Born October 18th, this day in 1949. He was the guitarist, best known as the lead guitarist and a songwriter for the band REO Speedwagon from 1970 until 1989. I got the chance to meet and hangout with Gary now and then and hear his stories when he would come to East Peoria to visit. R.I.P. Gary and Happy Birthday my friend.
