    The Rascals' Guitarist Gene Cornish

    Hi All: The following is information on the Rascals guitarist, Gene Cornish. He collapsed on stage this evening in Billings, Montana. The Rascals have been touring this summer. We ask that you please keep Gene in your prayers. Thank you very much.

    This note is from his
    fiancé. "Gene Cornish collapsed this evening on stage in Billings, Montana. Updates will follow. We ask for continued prayers for Gene. He is at the hospital and receiving the best medical care. We thank all the fans that were with us tonight, as well as the amazing staff at Alberta Bair Theatre and first responders. We hope to know more soon and our thoughts and prayers are with Gene."

    The following link is what I found on line a few minutes ago. It looks like you'll need to put it in your browser. Thank you.

    You're welcome Motown Eddie.

    There's good news. Thank goodness for the power of prayer! Gene is expected to make a full recovery. My sources tell me he will undergo his procedure on Monday morning.

    That is great to hear. I hope he is able to perform again when he feels strong enough. The Rascals produced some wonderful and timeless music.

    You're welcome Motown Eddie. I saw a post on his fiancé's page. They are at the airport to head back to their home from Billings, MT. [[where the hospital is that treated him) as I write this. He was discharged on Wednesday and seems to be doing much better.

    Good to hear that he is expected to recover. I saw the group in Chicago when they got back together. I was so glad that they were all still living and had put the past behind. I liked The Rascals better than the Beatles "It's A Beautiful Morning is my favorite out of their hits though I liked many others also."

    My favorites are "A Beautiful Morning" and "A Ray of Hope". I saw Felix and Gene perform this past March, 2019 at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Illinois [[a suburb of Chicago). They were fantastic. BTW, they performed "Heaven" and I saw and heard it being VERY well received in the row in back of me. They were also funny the way that the two of them affectionately joked and bantered back and forth with each other. It was such a great show.
