I am really sorry to read this. I have just been pulling
together some of his music to burn a CD.

I have really been enjoying his seemingly simple approach,
which opens up a connection to the essence of the music.

ah man, that's a shame, I don't know much about the guy but everytime I watch his "set" at Woodstock the hairs on my neck stand up. It was just one of those perfect moments, the right man in the right place at the right time.

Hope you found your freedom Richie

One thing is sure. Now, Richie knows what the real deal is.
