"I'M BUSIER IN RETIREMENT THAN I WAS WHEN I WAS WORKING!"...Wayne Richards
For the past fifty years, I have had the honor of performing in clubs and lounges both here and abroad. From Pheasant Run Resort to the Sheraton Stockholm I have been blessed with steady and productive work and the opportunity to meet fascinating people. In particular, I am finishing up an eleven year stint at BIG SHOT PIANO BAR in Arlington Heights.
At 67 years of age I am proud of my track record of steady and long term engagements which has expanded from the GOLDEN AGE of the seventies to present day. I have always kept age 67 as a target time to retire from the demands of piano/vocal work. The time has simply arrived and I fully intend to breath in the winds of change since the opportunity to do so has arisen.
I have heard from many fellow contemporaries who have suggested that it will be impossible for me to quit performing. I'm not! I'm just removing piano bars from my creative pallet to concentrate on other meaningful activities and projects. I also intend to relax and enjoy life.
This web site will continue on and I urge you to visit here often for updates. I'll always post messages on Facebook when something new is added. There will be surprises...I assure you!

Twice in recent weeks, I've had the extreme pleasure of participating in the very entertaining JAM NIGHTS at this extraordinary venue. To be on the same stage with so many talented musicians is a treat. Many thanks to Suzanne and the entire staff for making me feel so welcome.
