Richie also co-hosted the Secret Museum radio show along with Pat Conte. The show is archived on the internet, but I don't have the web address handy. I had the pleasure of being invited onstage with the Refuse for a show at the South St. Seaport years ago. I was just starting out playing music and Richie's invitation to join them was a great confidence-booster. I got out of touch with a lot of the NYC musicians when I left the city, and only recently got in touch with a lot of them through Facebook. This latest news hit me hard. Richie was a wonderful guy and will be remembered for years to come.
