Hi Everybody,

This is a little note to say thanks and goodbye, and to give you a little insight into my departure. I feel very strongly that it is time I pursue my relationship with God, which I had abandoned some 15 or 16 years ago in favor of Sh-boom. Thankfully He had not abandoned me and has drawn me back to the pursuit (Romans 8:28).

My departure may change the look and sound of the band a little, but certainly not the personalities of the individuals that have endeared the band to so many for so long.

I want to say thanks to a lot of super neat people too numerous to name for countless wonderful, indelible memories.

So long,
Lil' Ricky
