Singing as long as memory serves him, Richard "Dick" evolved as a singer-songwriter-guitarist who has been involved in television, radio and recording. As a writer he has written several songs, created, directed and performed musical productions. Currently, Richard is enjoying performing solo at receptions, community events, private functions, fund-raisers, after-hour theatre events, dining facilities and retirement communities throughout Southwestern Ontario.

Dick's music covers memorable songs of all the decades, from the turn of the last century, through to today. There, he sets a stage that some describe as comfortable, where his music can continually flow leaving patrons free to casually enjoy their event with food, beverage and conversation.

Vocals with acoustic guitar throughout with full sound system, sound accompaniment during performance is approx. 60% - please refer to "TUNES" for song samples and repertoire.
