A mixture of EVERYTHING......

From the bouncy good times bluegrass style found on GUESS YOU'RE GOING TO MISS ME and BEAUTIFUL DAY, to the gloomy dark sounding Title Track COME OF AGE.

When you hear the whole album, you might be amused with a few of the tracks that were written for other singers and artists back in the late 60's and 70's, including songs such as BREEZE that has that Big Band feel and MY CONCERN that has that old late 50's surf sounds.

Other tracks on the "COME OF AGE" CD are MAYBE I DON'T WANT MUCH (a blues jazzy tune), STILL FEEL THE MAGIC, NO REGRETS, TWO PEOPLE, WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING, DEEP WITHIN YOUR MIND (another dark, gloomy sounding tune ), , STILL WANT YOUR LOVE, STATEMENT OF TRUTH and a few more interesting songs.

Richard makes use of many different chord structures, major and minor 7th, 9ths, 13ths, 6ths, diminished and augmented chords that give the songs a different feel and texture than the ordinary three chord rock and roll arangements.

The cuts you are hearing are the original rough drafts of the material, before editing, that will be on the CD's, so excuse any errors.
