It's the first time i've seen these pics i thought i'd dig them out from the archives.That must be a very early pic of Randy with Delores...Was the beret a new thing with Randy's stage outfits or was this thrown up on the stage and he's goofing around wearing it ?

Randy is actually wearing a Santa hat, not a beret.

In the pic with his mother he, was about 17 or 18y/o.

Thanks for bringing these back to life.

Regards,
Gary

The bow tie in the pics is a "pre-Jodi" bow tie.

I have no personal knowledge but I seem to recall a neighborhood friend having a shirt like that around the 1975-76 period that had something to do with the American Bicentennial celebration. Very cool and I recall this picture jumping out at me because of that shirt a couple of years ago when I first saw it. Randy looks much younger though - like 16 at most. That would make it 1972-73.

I'm confused now...

Edit: I'm still confused but I see now the shirt reads "Miss America". Looks like something from MAD magazine. I just bet he was a fan too.

For some reason or another, the only picture that I didn't get to see was the one with his mom. Any way to re-post it?

The picture of Delores and Randy, KILLS ME.

I am saddened for the loss of RR, and the life he would have had, should have had in later life. The gripping pain has NOT subsided in the many years since his passing. Even with the many fantastic shots of Randy seen in the last few years is amazing, but nothing compared to the simplistic essance of RR. Usually looking at killer RR pics dont make me sad. But that pic KILLS me. You cant help but feel the tremendous personal loss even still. He was just a kid !

I lost my grampa at the same time as Randy's death, and in a weird way these occurances have been connected almost together in my life/mind, as I was 12-13 at that time. The look of the old photos also reminds me of gramps. The 70's, awesome !
