I was wandering if your song Marathon Man will ever be for sale. I really appreciate the free download a couple of years ago but unfortunately I had a problem with my ITouch and lost the song. Keep playing and writing good music.

Great music... the "Younger Years" video is classic. Saw you guys a couple of times here in WV, Princeton around '82, and Fayetteville around '97, or so (fuzzy memories)... You guys are on my regular playlist. Thanks for the music all these years.

It seems respectably close enough to the festive season now to wish everyone on the board and especially the band a very Happy Christmas. Patiently looking forward to hearing more good things, all in good time. Peace and good health to all; happy holidays :)

Just discovered BR on YouTube. Love it! Brings back good memories of Springfield and SW MO St. in the early 80's and OMD concerts. Live in NW Indiana now but will definitely come back whenever you guys are playing in the area. Thanks. -Greg

Greg,
Thanks for ringing in and we're glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully one day we'll be playing someplace close to you...

Man you guys still got it!! Moved from KC in 79 to Louisiana. Do you swing towards this way anytime? I will have to get up to your area soon.

Whippoorwill, Mr Powell, Road to Glory, Spaceship Orion, Leatherwood, Within Without, and of course Country Girl and Jackie Blue have burned up my LP's, cassettes, cd's, and now IPod for the last 38 years.

Thanks for posting that link to the St Louis review Mike, it's a great write-up . . and good photos too. By the way, I notice that all the photos the photographers took of the performance can be viewed online at this link . .

http://intothelightconcerts.ifp3.com/site/#/gallery/beyond-reach-the-focal-point/img-0057/

there are about 40 really great pictures!

Would have loved to have been there for the show, especially to hear Whippoorwill. To Larry, Randle and David, I really love the new EP . . such good music, the title track is fantastic and David, your "Good Enough For Now" song is truly outstanding.

Thanks to everyone who braved the bad weather in St. Louis this past Saturday night to join us at the Focal Point. You guys pretty much filled the place and we hope to be asked back again…

Also an extra large “Thank You and Well-Done!” goes out to Emily and brother John Higgins for sharing their music with everyone.

-------

Since everything is now setup for “Waiting On The Sun” EP sales and downloads through CDBaby, we’re canceling any further “direct sales” from this website.

CDBaby is a wonderful little company, very trustworthy and the CD’s will actually cost you guys less than what we’d have to charge. So please continue ordering via the “Buy” link.

Mike Broadway

April 25, 2011

Also wanted to add that I LOVED the set list...but was surprised there were no songs from the first CD? Needed a THIRD set!!! lol

Mike Broadway

April 25, 2011

I want to say thanks also to Larry and Randle for coming to St Louis. I hope we might see another show and more new music this summer? Thought the Focal Point was a great place to see a band. The NEW songs were awesome...can't wait to hear more like that. Everybody Crawls Home Once is stuck in my head!! Had a GREAT TIME..hope to do it again!

Stan Dixon

April 24, 2011

Thanks for a great show at the Focal Point! Emily Higgins opened the show and is a very talented singer/song writer! Then Beyond Reach played 2 sets and 1 encore....a total of 17 songs....nicely mixing the new music with our old favorites. Randle's "Waiting on the Sun" and Larry's "Everybody Crawls Home Once" are fresh new songs that gives us a taste of more great music to come! The new cd sounds great!
Thanks for a very enjoyable evening!
Nice seeing everyone! Missed you, Jaynie!

Neill Farrington

April 20, 2011

I'm really excited about Beyond Reach coming to St. Louis this weekend. I'll definately be there and looking forward to it. It's been about 6 years since this site/comment page has been up. A lot under the bridge and fortunately a lot of great new music. Hopefully you'll bring a few cds to purchase; if not, I'll get one shortly after. See you Saturday.

Bruce Richart

April 17, 2011

Really enjoyed the living room concert in Fayetteville AR! Deuling guitars, fiddle, mandolin, harmonies, and great song intros that revealed the inspiration for many of the songs! Thanks for coming and enjoyed the vist...

Mike Cossey

April 17, 2011

Enjoyed the concert on the 15th, enjoying the new EP..WOW excellent new music !!! I'm surprised the car CD player didn't burn a groove in the CD on the drive home.....sure played the heck out of it....I think I know all the lyrics by heart now....Oh! and the songs went so well with the drive along the Buffalo River...

Steve D

April 15, 2011

I love your song Younger Years. A dear freind of mine sent the link on YouTube to me in my email and I fell in love with the song. I would love to down load it to my Music list but am not sure how or if it is available. If it is I would love to know. Thanks for your wonderful music! Betti Victory

Welcome to Jack & your father...There are plenty of OMD & BR fans over here in the UK. A few of us have 'lived' your dream and made the journey of a lifetime. Do it if you can... You will not be disappointed.

Me & my father have been life long fans of Ozark Mountain Dardevils and has been a life long dream to come to America from Liverpool to see gigs involving the genius' behind it all. Beyond Reach is new to me but I am getting into it. Were saving up all our money and we hope to take the biggest journey of our lives to come and see you guys in the near future.

Mike Broadway

March 23, 2011

Larry/Randle

A quick question about the upcoming St Louis Show. Curious if you guys will throw in any OMD music in the set list or will this be strictly Beyond Reach and NEW music. Either way is great...just curious.

BR

March 16, 2011

Phil,

Mr. Ned is making a move to Florida in the near future, which would make the trip back up to MO for weekly rehearsals and future gigs a bit difficult, as you no doubt would understand. Over a year ago Ned told us he was considering this move, so we’ve known for a while this might be coming. We’ll miss his friendship a lot and we do wish him the very best….

Phil

March 16, 2011

Hey, Randle, Larry, David, what happened to Ned? Somehow he's just dropped out of the picture . . literally! . . . back on his quest for funky?

Jill Bloomer

March 13, 2011

I would love to attend the St. Louis show but can't get away on Easter weekend. Looking forward to more dates!

The Focal Point- Not a bad seat in the House.
Have Dinner before the show at the Maya Cafe next door. Most of all, enjoy Beyond Reach in St. Louis!!

Mike Broadway

March 11, 2011

I've got my tickets!!! Cant wait..should be a great evening. Wish it wasnt General Admission though..but it sounds like its pretty small and all seats should be good.

Steve Dennis

March 10, 2011

Great news about the St Louis show! Looking forward to hearing new music......OK, any Beyond Reach music

Michael W.

March 10, 2011

We are sooo looking forward to the Focal Point show in St. Louis!!! Been spreading the Word. The Focal Point is a wonderful venue for Beyond Reach. It is intimate with great acoustics. Buy your tickets early, don't miss this show!!

Jaynie Chowning

I am a huge fan and was given three cd's from a great friend a year ago.The Best of Larry Lee, Marooned(Larry Lee) and Beyond Reach(Randle Chowning and Larry Lee) and all three have been in my car since I rec'd them! Great, great music and cannot get enough of it!!! Absolutely love all the songs and have to say that it's hard for me to pick a favorite. The stations in LA should be playing your music and I would love to see you live. Please come to CA...LA/Orange County would be great!!! Looking forward to more music from you and just listened to "Younger Years"...Larry's voice is amazing and hasn't changed one bit from his earlier cd's...Warm regards to you all..............

Hi,
Bought the cd when it was first issued - am a great fan of both Larry and Randle - favourite song of all time - Following The Way That I Feel.

Charles VanHook and I played guitar in the 60's in Springfield, Mo. We won the battle of the bands competition that took place at Doling Park at the Dance Pavilion in 1962. We got to play there for a couple of springtime weekend dances. We loved the songs that you guys did. Lucky YOU!
I retired from Tampa Fla. educational system and took up residence on Indian Point just down the road from Silver $ City. I own and operate a automotive restoration shop. Hope to see you here someday. I have a contact friend for you Pop Landers who booked a lot of entertainers in Los Angeles in the 80's. Check around there and see if anyone's heard of him. Lional Ritchie was one of his entertainers. He is here in Branson and has connections. If your interested.
Any way I liked your songs and Chuck is who forwarded you to me. He lives in Pocatella Idaho now. I think he has sat in with Dick Dale some.
Wuold like to be on your friends list. ???

Would love to spend a little quality time with you gentlemen. Interview with music for distribution to some radio stations. Maybe an impromptu video interview and a St. Louis show? Great CD. I am humbly at your service. Jonesy

Neill Farrington

November 22, 2010

Great to see that work is going on with new music and some concert dates. Hopefully St. Louis is on the list of stops.
I've been putting the Beyond Reach cd in lately. Don't know why it is but I always seem to find this cd again every Fall. i guess I just connect it to this nice time of year. Keep us posted and I'm looking forward to seeing you on one of these upcoming dates. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

RC/LL/NW/DW

November 9, 2010

Sorry for not posting in a while.

We’ve been rehearsing weekly through the summer months along with writing and learning lots of new songs ,which we’re getting ready to start recording this month.

Recording will take us up to the first of the year and we’ve already booked several live dates for next spring and early summer. Once these venues have information on their websites, we will be posting the dates and links on the Calendar section.

We’ll also be posting one or two videos soon from the Ozarks Celebration Festival Benefit concert a couple of months ago.

Hope everyone has a wonderful late Fall and we’ll be seeing some of you in 2011.

October 2, 2010

Just been following some links from your 'press' page and found some short YouTube clips of last week's show . . cool ! Randle taking lead vocals on Ghost of Perryville (or 'Wild Irish Rose' as it is billed on the video) with great harmonies from everyone else, Ned singing a song called Sugar Candy Mountain (a real nice ballad) and Larry singing 'I'm Just Wasting Time' . . . plus there's footage of David playing along with The Undergrass Boys - really enjoyed that too. Okay, that's given me the fix I needed!, thanks.

Anyone who wants to take a look, go to the YouTube channel 'tagsgf', you'll see 'em there.

Phil, Yorkshire

October 2, 2010

Enjoyed seeing the photos you've now put up online from the March gig - thanks. Keep 'em coming. How about some pix from your show last weekend? And maybe a bit of video footage of the live show would be pretty cool - any chance? Gotta keep us hungry fans satisfied - the more you give, the more we want!

Stan Dixon

October 2, 2010

I really enjoyed the benefit concert last weekend! Nice to have the chance to hang out with you guys a bit afterwards at the reception. I'm really looking forward to the new cd. Thanks!

Great new look to the site. If you're open to some user suggestions, I have one; it would be good to have a gallery page where we can see some selected photos from your live performances. Thanks for posting the lyrics to Younger Years with the video.

Goin' to see the DD's 6/5 at Knuckleheads in KC--they're also showing the documentary "Cowtown Ballroom-Sweet Jesus"--which is the first place I saw the origianl DD's in 1974--wish it included Randall and Larry--but you take what you can get

Tim Leitner

May 17, 2010

Randle. We saw you with the Notions performing "Shamey, Shame" on the public television station here in St. Louis, on 5/16. It was produced by Drury College.

Did you perform more songs for them, that might be televised later? Thanks.

hey jill, i figured if anyone could tell me it would be you. my wife and i are going to see the omd gillioz show sept. 10th. could you give me some nearby motel locations as to where we could stay? we'll be coming in from texas. thanks,billy

billy allen

April 23, 2010

like jill, i also listen to my old school music on cd on my long eairly morning riser drives to work. and, since this west texas boy will probably never get to see you perform in person; i strongly hope to end up with your new songs on cd also. i'll be waiting for my copies. thanks, larry.

roger replogle

April 24, 2010

Randle, I wanted to talk to you about the possibility of doing a few acoustic songs at a private event just outside Marshfield on Sunday, July 4. Was going to send you a message on your Facebook page, but couldn't find an option to do so there. What's the best way to contact you?

Mike Cossey

April 18, 2010

Larry's Site is up n running...nice previews of his new songs from both CD's. Make sure you read the "News" section as well as "Tales and Notions" What a great read it was and looking forward to more! Thanks again Larry, Do you ever get tired of hearing "Thank You?"...smile...I feel like a broken record.

Jill Bloomer

June 20, 2010

Hi Billy, the Gillioz is a neat place, you will have a good time. I have been in Springfield several times, the only place we have ever stayed is The Residence Inn, on Kingsley just off south National. A real nice place with a free breakfast to die for. Going north on National takes you right into the Gillioz area of town, easy to find. I imagine Jaynie or some other locals can give you some other hotel ideas. How 'bout it everyone?

Jill Bloomer

May 19, 2010

Hey, to anyone who hasn't been to Larry's website, his 2 new CDs, "Twigs" & "Buds on Branches" are available for download starting today. You can purchase them at cdbaby.com/cd/larrymichaellee

Jill Bloomer

May 29, 2010

That would be great! I hope it becomes available. I was thinking about trying to get a copy somehow, guess I'll wait and see what happens with New Era.

Sean - UK Liverpool

May 28, 2010

Had this message from NewEra about the Cowtown dvd:-

We are looking into the possibility of getting the Cowtown show to sell on our site. We'll see.

Cheers,
New Era for The OMDs

Not sure how much of the Devils are on the dvd but still worth a look.

Jill Bloomer

June 7, 2010

Sorry we missed you Greg. When we walked in all the tables down front had Reserved tags on them, all except 1 little table front and center, no tag on it so we grabbed it. Worked out great until the band came on the stage and everyone stood up front! It was a fun night.

Kaylyn & Nathan

June 7, 2010

The March Concert at Drury was so awesome! We are anxious to hear your play and sing agin soon!
