Hi,

I make a living playing music because that's what I do. I also teach and write. I really don't worry about making money- but my wife does- haha!

Times are tougher to make good money playing. I make less than I used to and play more.

My main goal is to contribute to the music community by doing research and sharing what little I know with others.

I've had some success and played with a few legends but it means more to me to uncover info about old songs and musicians than what I do.

I hope I can give more- money isn't everything.

Richie
