I've personally never believed fora moment that it was a "Jon & Richie" record. I think that got misconstrued. If Jon says, "Richie and I..." or Richie says, "Jon and I are working on the next CD" I think they mean the songwriting part of the CD. Tico and Dave typically do not play a big part in the songwriting process. Jon and Richie have been known to take off to Nashville or the Carribean or wherever and write together without the other guys for years.
