About Me

My name is Rich, and this is all ya need to know about me:
-I LOVE progressive rock, progressive metal, metal, fusion, jazz and many other things. I'm really open to most musical styles.
-I'm a keyboardist
-I'm generally pretty wacky and fun, but I'm also serious when I need to be
-At the end of the day I just wanna play music and be surrounded by awsome people.
-I cherish my friends, without my friends I'd definitely go insane.
-I always try to be there for my friends and I have a desire to make sure everyone around me is happy.
-As of late I've developed a deep interest in psychology. please read my blog about "how to achieve happiness" :)
I almost never pick up my phone, so expect to get my voicemail if you call me.AIM=EdgeMaster57
My FOUR TIER SET-UP (those are 4 legitimate keyboards!....ok the one on the very top is really lame, but it works!)
