Thank you so much for being on this journey with us, falling under the spell of the magic that was Rough Innocence, it’s music, it’s members, it’s inspiration, and the magic n’ our sound! Thanks to Joe Tyson, Rick Risberg and Dale Duffy who were the founding members and came up with to totally awesome and amazing name for the band, “Rough Innocence”. I cannot think of a cooler name, ever! Thanks for letting Edward Gerlach, my now ex-husband, Kelly Ryan, his sister, and myself, Deborah R Force-Shy-Gerlach-Culver, in the background writing melodies and lyrics, to join you to write and create more magic that was already started by you three! Many of the fans and even family members of the band begged to have access to our music because their CD’s had all wore out! That’s why I created this page, as a memorial to the band, the music n the magic that put its spell on all who heard or saw Rough Innocence perform! Many more have heard our music and are avid listeners who have brought our total plays to over 300K! The magic of writing with you all was that it felt everything God had put you on this earth to do, the gifts He blessed us with and everything you was being utilized in those wonderful times in practice and jamming out new songs! --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for taking the time to message us because we absolutely love hearing from you all! Wow! Thanks for all the love, encouragement, enthusiasm and hearing your personal comments and opinions! Stella - Hey I've been trying to search for your music on iTunes but with no success at all, gimme some info or somehow to find it...I desperately want your song as phone ringtone, thanks! Reply From RI/Deborah: Hi Stella, Thanks so very much for reaching out! When I started the Number 1 Music band page, I had lost track of three of the members: Joe Tyson, Rick, Risberg, and Dale Duffy. They are the three original members to the band, and Joe Tyson, and own and trademark/copyright to the band name. Once they discovered that I had the page that wasn't a problem but I had also done things with iTunes and everything for wanting to purchase and have our music on other devices, but they felt our music shouldn’t be offered there. Since Rough Innocence broke up in 1994, Joe and Rick have formed us different band called, "Black Water Greed" which has a male lead singer, who is very versatile in their range like Kelly is. They are available and all the music online sites if you'd like to check them out. BLACK WATER CREED https://music.apple.com/us/artist/black-water-greed/573443636 Album: Circle Of Sin 2019 My favorite song is “Till Death Do Us Part”! The whole album is great! Please check them out. The band includes former founding RI members: Joe Tyson, Drummer & back vocals & lyricist/song writer & Rick Risberg, Lead Guitar & back vocals & lyricist/song writer. Thanks again so much for reaching out! Love, peace, blessings and Keep On Rockin'! ~ Rough Innocence ~ Deborah R Force-Shy-Gerlach-Culver (Explanation to my very long name: Force-Shy-Gerlach-Culver Force is my maiden name; Shy is a stage name given to me by Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith in a dream, lol; Gerlach - 1st marriage to Edward Gerlach, Rhythm/Co-Lead Guitarist of RI; Culver - 2nd marriage and widow to my dear husband Brad.) ------- Andrei Avanesov - How you measure success is more important than how the world measures it...Miles Yet To Go is incredibly fantastic. Just placed a link to you on my FB page. 1/25/24 Reply From RI/Deborah: Dear Andrei Avanesov, Thanks so much for reaching out to us about your love for our music and especially "Miles Yet To Go" by saying you find it incredibly fantastic! Thanks! It's special to me particularly as I wrote the words and created the vocal melody and was first to sing it into being while the music of the song was jamming and just formed! I agree there is more to success than numbers of plays of our songs...it's the hearts our music touches that most proves to me the success and Miles seems to be the one to do that the most. Thanks for putting a link to our N1M page! It's very much appreciated! Hoping you have a great weekend, keep warm and safe for the rest of the winter and enjoy the newness of spring when it breaks out in several months’ time. It'll be 62 revolutions around the sun for me this March! I was born in 1962 and now will be 62! LOL Look for your email mentioned in the next newsletter! Ta Ta! Love, peace, blessings and keep on rockin'! ~ Rough Innocence ~ Deborah R Force-Shy-Gerlach-Culver -------- Robert Klein: Heeeeloooo I need so desperately to download all your tunes, please let me know how to do this! I promise to share it with my friends and spread the word ...i have many friends around the world. Peace & Love! Reply From RI/Deborah: Dear Robert, I know that you and many others would love to have our music on all the sites, such as Spotify, iTunes, etc… At one time we did, but I didn’t have contact information for the whole band to get their permission and once they all knew, it was decided that the music should be taken off those platforms. The only thing that I could suggest is set up the www.numberonemusic.com/roughinnocence site up and have it playing from your TV with a good sound system if you have a smart TV that can search the internet and then use your phone to record the songs and then play them from your own personal phone recordings. Stella above was hoping for that too and that’s the best solution I can come up with. I don’t’ think we have any of our original CD’s that we made back in 1992. Even my son and baby brother wore out their CD’s as well! Thanks for your sincere love and earnest desire for our music. Have a great weekend! Love, Peace, Blessings and Keep On Rockin’! ~ Rough Innocence ~ Deborah R Force-Shy-Gerlach-Culver --------------------------------------------------------- We love hearing from you on the website email but also replies to our newsletter updates! Will share others comments each week too! When not getting a newsletter, check out our bio area for new messages that we can’t share yet because the site only allows a update every 14 days! Thanks for your support, interest, and love of our music! Personal News: My visit to see my son is still delayed but I have the great joy of seeing him in video visits! The people in my new apartment complex are all very sweet. Getting interest from the male sector but not ready for dating yet…any who I’ll be 62 soon! And I refuse to date younger men ever again! Both my husbands were younger…next time someone my age or older from a more genteel era that knows how to treat a lady, lol! IF! And that’s a VERY BIG IF!!! --------------------------------------------------------- Wishing everyone Love, Peace and Blessings & Always Keep On Rockin'!
