After 2 four-disc cervical spine fusion surgeries (2017 and 2019), some feeling returned to my right and all feeling to my left hand and I could play my guitar, so I've begun to write every day. At the end of 2020 I released my CD, "72", a collection of 20 originals. I re-mastered the CD and have released a much-improved product on May 12, 2021. Instrumentalist, arranger, and producer; Doug Burtchaell of Houston plays everything on six of the tunes and I handle the other 14. The title of the CD reflects my age when I completed 72. I fronted two rock bands out of Beaumont, Texas in the late 1960s, played solo in the 1970s, was a songwriter in Nashville in the 1980s, and again a solo performer on the Upper Texas Coast from 1998-2008. I had two long periods when I lost dexterity in my hands and could not play my wooden lady (1990-1998 and 2014-mid 2019). In addition to my jdrichardsmusic.com site, 72 will be offered at all the major sites plus. I appreciate your support. Be safe and blessed.
