FROM THE FROZEN BEAT TO THE FLORIDA HEAT!
DID HE SAY RETIRED? YES! BUT BUSIER THAN EVER!
Having moved from the Chicago area down to Florida has opened up creative avenues that make the journey of my life personally satisfying. 50 years in the entertainment industry is a long, long time and I was one of the lucky ones who took a few skills, a lot of ambition and created a career. Piano/vocal work dominated my schedule, but embracing stage and film are special gifts I am grateful for.
This web site contains pages of information, video and sound files which demonstrate moments of my career and life that I hope you will find entertaining. In addition to the arts, my passion for Chicago Cubs baseball is also represented via my CHICAGO CUBS CHATTER NEWSLETTER, which can be seen either on this site or at www.cubsworld.org
Lastly, this web site will offer proof that creativity can blossom when you leave the "BUSINESS GARBAGE" behind. I'm involved in a number of projects and busier than ever! I'll be sharing everything right here at WAYNE RICHARDS MUSIC CENTRAL.

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

THE DREAM ROAD began as a small script I pieced together for the ACTOR'S STUDIO in the Villages. However, the group was closed a while back. This was the decision of its founder and coach, DEAN CORBETT. (NOTE...Dean trained under the great Lee Strasburg at the Actor's studio in New York.)
However, much to my surprise, Dean requested that I continue to develop the story into a full length musical. I gave myself a deadline of four months to complete, quite a different approach to a work since my previous musical, A SUMMER STORM, took over 20 years to complete.
However, THE DREAM ROAD just didn't pop out of my head recently. Its something I've thought about for a few years and was just waiting for the right opportunity to commit effort into the project. Dean Corbett was the encouragement I needed. He has and continues to be my theatrical guiding light and I urge you to check back on this web site in the not too distant future for details.

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!
