"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. Please? Pretty please?

FROM ONE CUB FAN TO ANOTHER........
Please check out and enjoy my new CHICAGO CUBS WORLD CHATTER newsletter. Since I've moved to the Florida Villages, my wife and I have joined a Chicago Cubs club that currently enjoys a membership of over 400 people. With the growth of this community in high gear it is most certain that additional Cubbies enthusiasts will soon be joining. The CUBS WORLD CHATTER web site and newsletter are designed to operate together. My newsletter will always be available not only here but also linked to the larger site called CUBS WORLD. CLICK HERE

On Thursday the 13th of December, I joined the cast of MURDER BY IMPROV to premiere this new work for the MURDER MYSTERY READER'S CLUB at the Rohan Center.
It was an honor to weave this improvisational mosaic with a great group of focused actors. In each experience on stage, there is much to be learned. We found out audiences love this play.
Thank you to Dean and my fellow cast members for an amazing experience on stage.
Thanks also to the audiences who sparked us and motivated us in this long-format presentation.

For MANY wonderful 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. Please check here often for future appearances!
