      Look up the version he did of Bohemian Rhapsody. He plays ALL the parts and Sings them all too! PLUS he mixed it and created the Video. I’ve chatted with Richie a couple times at BOC Shows. Really nice guy. He’s into Martial Arts as well. Very talented guy. He sings lead on three of the songs on the new Blue Oyster Cult Album “The Symbol Remains”
