A Life of Music

I have been a part-time singer and keyboardist in more than a dozen groups spanning 60-plus years centered in Greenbelt, MD ten miles outside of Washington, DC.  I started in a teen group in 1964 called The Rockin' Rejects, which later morphed into Donnie & The Diablos.  Other ventures included The Fifth Edition, The Talents, a short stint in Venus and the Flytraps, Chi Square, Electric Fantasy, Quinn, Can-Do, Harvest, and Jimmy Moore & The Rangers.

After a 16-year hiatus , I resumed band involvement with the The Good Guys from Greenbelt in 1999.  From 2015 through 2025 I helped to form and performed in The Relics, an oldies band constituted of friends from Greenbelt Community Church.  I continue my solo work and writing as well as jamming at The Old Bowie Towne Grille and continuing at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt.   

The Album above, RR Band Retrospective, provides two-dozen songs recorded by four of the bands listed.  Explanation is provided. The oldest recordings were revived from tapes using modern software.  On the ‘Recordings’ page (flash menu under ‘Solo-Home Studio’) you will find  cover songs that I have “re-interpreted solo ” to some degree.  A few of the songs that I have written are included, also sung and played by me .  My writing tells stories and makes statements without emphasis on 'hooks' or repeated phrases.The words are provided in the Lyrics Section.   

You can sample each song by clicking on the “play” symbol in front of it.  Full versions are downloadable with no fee, although all of it is copyrighted by me or the original writers.   If you enjoy the music, there is a link above to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund where I encourage you to make a donation.   Thanks for visiting.  Rick=
