I found this interesting interview with Richie Furay about his contemporary Christian music. It has some quotes from Bernie Leadon as well.

The Worship Leader/Pastor in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame (http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Richie_Furay_The_worship_leaderpastor_in_the_Rock_ _Roll_Hall_Of_Fame/32692/p1/)

This isn't EXACTLY the press, but it is somewhat Eagles related in the trailer....
I first met Richie (https://www.facebook.com/richie.furay.9?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARCstbcDJq1IFySSTPJc_G7VWMS1dQRyPZIfWtiXHOe-VG-Y1-lyxmUOVlTY8Cg_wKP0siicxCO7odGT&fref=mentions) in 1971. Poco played at UC Riverside and it was my 15th birthday.I was somewhat star-struck, but he was such a great guy, indulged my teeny-bopperness, talked to me like I was a friend, and appreciated that I was a such a fan.
Forty-three years later, after reconnecting on Facebook we met up again when I was working at Disneyland. I was so blessed to meet some of his family. He is the real deal.
Please check out the link to this fundraiser for Richie and watch the trailer. His music & friendship was and is, a very important part of my life. And he has impacted so many.He really deserves this recognition. I'm going to hold off on posting the gofundme for Richie. Just in case it's not allowed.Thanks.

Thanks for the link MJ. So happy that you have been able to meet Richie and glad Cameron is doing this to honor him.

Hope you don't mind, but since Richie has his own thread here on the board, I moved your post.

Thanks for the link, MarthaJo, it looks promising! I’ve always liked that Buffalo Springfield clip.

What an amazing experience, getting to meet him twice, and his family as well! Thanks for posting about this fundraiser.
