After over fifty successful years Rich decided to retire.  However, his singing and keyboard prowess continued to be in demand culminating in an overwhelming desire for Rich to return to his second home - live theatre - however, on a more exclusive basis.  Over the last few years Rich has perfected entire shows built around his Italian singing ingenuity together with his Bavarian interpretations while suitably attired in Lederhosen, Tyrolean hat and playing his famous favorite accordion.
