Richard always had an interest in music. He started his musical career when he was but six years old. He studied classical piano at The New England Conservatory Prep, Wellesley, MA and from there developed an interest in guitar. His first guitar was an old acoustic special given as a Christmas present from his mother. Of course, he broke all the strings while attempting to tune it to various pop songs back in 1967. He was much interested in The Monkees, The Beatles and other readily available LPs at the time.
He bought his first electric guitar from a friend while in junior high school and adeptly plugged it into an old tube tape recorder, using it as an amplifier. From there, he purchased Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells LP and developed an interest in multi-track recording. He also found a distinct liking to Deep Purple's Machine Head and Jethro Tull's Aqualung. Each of these albums featured influential guitarists, Ritchie Blackmore and Martin Barre, respectively.
