On the recording side, Rich has Engineered and Produced a number of music CD's.  The first one, "Pictures At An Exhibition" was a classical piano compilation performed by Cleveland pianist Bob Perry.  The second was an Alternative Rock production by the band Almost Huemon  which contains 12 of Rich's original song compositions.  With an eye looking forward, Rich notes "I think one of the most important aspects of successful creativity, is just forcing yourself to see your project or idea through to completion".  Rich's current CD release is entitled "NUTS".

As a performing singer/songwriter, he has played at the historic Cleveland Agora, the nationally renown Barking Spider Tavern, and many coffee house in Northern Ohio.  He just released a new CD entitled Nuts from his AZooNY Band.

Rich is found of the saying "you can't win if you don't play..."  (so he's playing:-))
