Music is Richard's first love. He's played in orchestras, rock bands and jazz combos. In 1965 his band, the Voodoo Strutters, was offered a contract by the Honeycombs' manager and in 1989, after playing at a Finnish Film Fest, an Estonian impresario offered to make him a rock star! But only in the 70s, was music his profession, since then he's made films and written books - worth checking out too.
