Richard studied piano and music theory at the Eastman School of Music, and rock guitar in various garages and basements. Musical influences include the Alan Parsons Project, REM, Dan Fogelberg, Michael Franks, Elton John, Queen, Genesis, KISS, and many others.
Richard''s guitar playing is reminiscent of Ian Bairson, guitarist for the Alan Parsons Project, and Brian May of Queen - melody always comes first, especially in guitar solos.
