A concert for seniors features songs about aging, memories and feelings.  Audiences are touched by the joy of music and respond to his sensitive selections with a desire to hear more.  Rich's therapeutic approach to entertaining encourages the audience to share their experiences.  An hour with Rich often includes favorite songs played on the fiddle.

Audiences experience a very special warmth hearing stories and songs that bring fond memories for the very old and exciting dreams to the very young. There are songs of farming and sailing, home and travel, love and loss, life and death... Rich takes each person to a very special place in every performance.

A folk music program for elementary or pre-school children.  Rich sings about animals and farming, feelings and growth, self-acceptance and self-reliance.  Enthusiastic rapport is very evident in this program.

Along with guitar and fiddle, Rich plays mandolin, banjo, autoharp and any of several more unusual instruments.
