I studied with Richie beginning in '81 and we roomed together for a short time. Great musician and exceptional composer. I hope he's getting the best care and fully recovers from his current health issues.
Thanks so much for this! I took some lessons with Richie when I first moved to New York in ‘83. I can still hear his voice, think of his insights, and practice what he shared with me. Not sure I ever properly thanked him for all he did for me. Thank Richie. Good times and health to you!
I had the pleasure of taking lessons with Richie around 1975-76 whenever he was off the road. I love the guy. He is a Titan at the piano, and an extremely thoughtful person. He helped me take my playing seriously. While I'm no Richie Beirach (nor should I be), I am a better pianist and piano teacher for knowing him.
So glad i stumbled on to this. Thanks Richie. Great insight. Thanks for creating the Crowd funder.. First started to him since Look Out Farm. Thanks for sharing the brillance snd insights of Richie Beirach.❤
Great video. Richie has been a favorite of mine since Elm and the first Quest albums. I will contribute. That was George Mraz on Elm, not Dave Holland.
Because of Richie's financial situation, he cannot take money directly. Heather is the go-between. Trust me that the money all goes to Richie outside of any "tip" someone gives at the time of donation This probably should have been made clear on that page.

Mike -- I am glad you made me aware of this campaign to benefit Richie. I couldn't donate much, but I donated something, and I hope it helps.

You are right. Richie will rightly give me hell for that!
Why does the Go Fund Me page for Richie say "Your donation will benefit Heather O'Donnell"?

@@mymusicsavvy I can vouch for this as well. The money is all going to Richie.
