Hello this is Richard I invite you to my new website so that we can further be interactive, and I can get to share more about me as well as what I am up to. www.richardsheppard.com Also, I just want to say share with you that I suffered some serious medical issues in September. I have taken this winter for rest and recovery and with the help of family, health providers and especially, prayer I am doing much better and am expecting a full recovery. Your support and kindness towards me have been a real comfort too and I cannot thank you enough for it. On another note: This whole music business really is not a good fit for me. I never wanted to make music to gain money or fame. I seek beauty. That's pretty much it. Like the lyric in my song "Halfway there and halfway home" states, "Beauty runs it seems to and from beauty" So, Many of you have asked me where you can obtain my music to have. I'm going to try and be a bit more available in this regard and hopefully you share it with others as well as stay in touch so that perhaps we could all meet at a show or two when I am out on tour? I will be adding an area on my website as well as eventually N1M to allow folks like you access to my music and make it as easy as I can to allow that to happen so, please check back. I'll end here in saying again that I am beyond grateful for your support. From my heart as always, Thank you. With wishes of all the best to you and yours always, Shepp
