Rich has played professionally for more years than we'll know. He comes from Virginia, and other parts east. Although he has spent some years in New York, he denies being a Yankee. Come to think of it, he also denies being a Southerner. What would you call him? Cosmopolitan?.... He plays lots of instruments. Some better than others. Mostly saxes, guitars, vocals. Some studios use him as a backgound singer. The boy's got good ears and vocal chords. Rich enjoys being in a variety band, because he can't ever make up his mind what style of music he enjoys most. Playing variety music allows him (and the rest of the band) the opportunity to play a little bit of all the great pop music styles. That is a true joy. People may not know this, but music runs deep and wide, like a river. We have libraries about that. Nightclubs, churches festivals. And we have Wikipedia. Call Rich and chat him up. He's mostly around, And he's approachable.
