Debbie Reynolds, who sang, danced, acted and kept up with badass Gene
Kelly and Donald O'Connor to fame at just 19 years old in 'Singin' in the Rain,' dies at 84.
What a extremely gifted talent she was, a gift to us that her extreme
talent was captured in movies. Very sad she passed away a few days after
her daughter Carrie Fisher.
R.I.P. Debbie Reynolds and thank you for sharing your GOD given talents to the world.

It's true I only use Marshall & Ashdown tube amps.

I got a bit more fans bc of this. 124 likes & counting. Roland, Yamaha, & Korg did the same for my keyboard playing.
My MUSIC is all the proof I need. ;) I got '0' likes on FB LOL =P #marshallamps

The next time a Full Moon is even closer to Earth will be on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time). Photo by my friend Pasha Sochnev from his iPhone 7 Plus.🌕
One of my music heroes Leon Russell, Hit Maker and Musicians’ Musician, Passes away at 74.
I was just listening to his music last week trying to get a sound I'm
looking for.
I met Mr. Russell after one of his gigs that my best friend
MU took me to for my birthday.
One of the greatest gifts I ever had.
Some of my favorite songs he wrote.
He's one of my music heroes and has inspires my music.
Incredible songwriter and musician.
Thank you for
your genius music that I will keep listening to.
RIP Mr. Russell <3#legend
Mr. Russell still inspires me bc I want to keep playing shows till I'm
in my 70s like Leon Russell at 71-year-old, who plays about 180 shows a
year 80min long, also had a new keyboard setup. Instead of his jerry-rigged
multi-keyboard console of old, he had a fancy white baby grand piano
(with wavey blue lines on it). It was actually a digital piano with two
giant speakers (and a laptop with lyrics) above the keyboard facing the
piano man. On the side of the piano was the logo for Starkey Hearing, an
Eden Prairie company with which Russell is familiar. <3#leaonrussell
No wonder I've been sad the last few days.
A while back I went several times to a
cool house & my friend's friend's Dad use to hand me his guitars so I
can play my songs on it.
I said, thank you for being very cool Mr.
Cohen. Turned out to be 'Leonard Cohen'.
He was the only one that lent me his guitars when I wanted to give up music, I appreciated that.
I think he would've done the for any musician.
Thank you for your a genius songs Mr Cohen.
Rest In Paradise. 🙏🏽💔
My Stanford professor said me "Richie, EVERYONE thinks they're BORN an EXPERT on RELIGION and POLITICS."
So don't let anyone, any groups, any religion, or any foreign country (that should stay out of this, not their country) pressure you into voting for who they want. Vote for whom you want.
I'm not going to be forced/brainwashed to vote for Hillary or Trump! For the record & for the first time in my life I'm not voting for any Presidential candidate, I have my reasons. So I wrote-in my puppy 'Max' 🐶 on the ballot for President & voted for him, YAY Max! And 1,928 of my fans did the same & counting. Oops who knew, oh well. =P Fans are the best! ;) 😘 And yes I did vote for everything else on the ballot, the props, senators, etc... ;)

Elvis' icon badass lead-guitarist Scotty Moore passed away at his home, RIP 🙏 One of my all time favorite! Scotty's guitar playing was innovative and
unique. Was just Scotty on guitar, Bill Black on upright bass, and
Elvis on vocal and rhythm guitar. Who knew that teen Elvis and his
incredible band would change music for ever. Here's Scotty with Elvis in
his early years when Elvis was cool at his most badass and at his best. Scotty had alot to do with that. #scottymoore#badass #legend
Scotty Moore's first album with Elvis in 1956, When the King was cool.
GREAT FREAKENALBUM!

My puppy 'Maximus' 2nd BirthDay today! 🎂🍰
Wow! My baby doggie boy is almost grownup. And to think I found him
very sick, starving, barely walking & dying on the streets of a
small old town and left as Coyote food at 5 weeks old weighing only 3
pounds. ❤️🙏
And now he's a legit Service Dog! IMPRESSIVE! I know his big bro Sadhu would be Very Proud like I am of him. #hero#birthday :)
I'm sad because this morning I was bombarded with txts & emails that my twin ‘Prince’ has died.
Even though I’m younger & also a musician and our music is very different the biggest connection I have with him is that we look a lot alike.
I never met ‘Prince’ and yet like twin brothers from different mothers.
Since I was a kid I was told you look like ‘Prince’, women dated me because I look like ‘Prince’, thank you ‘Prince’.
So I felt a connection to him and I followed his career because I saw him as if I were him but very successful in music.
My music career suffered because I was told by record labels,managers, and bands, “You look like ‘Prince’.”
So no go because there's already ‘Prince’.
I felt sad for him when he got divorced and specially when his baby died, broke my heart.
So through out my entire life whether I like it or not I was always connected to him.
Yes I’m in shock of his death.
He was an elliptic when he was a child.
My theory of his death is that the bad flu triggered a seizure when he was in his studio.
I very sad he passed away and how he passed away.
I will defiantly miss him since he as always in my like somehow.
He’s a great artist.
Into God’s hands now, RIP Prince. <3

Very sad legend master record producer George Martin passed on.
I never met him but I’m very familiar with all his works.
He’s one of my greatest music heroes and my favorite record producer of all time.
His genius, risks taking, and innovation changed music history forever.
Because of George Martin taking risks in music gave me and many other artists the strengths to experiment with our music.
I've always admired him and studied his record producing techniques and music arranging since I was a child.
He’s the main inspiration in my record producing and arranging it especially shows on my new album.
Thank you Sir George Martin for your gifted talent you shared with us all. And thank you for your influence that musically pushes artists like myself forward.
Love you George Martin <3
You’re in God’s hands now, RIP Sir George Martin <3
#masterproducer#greatperson #legend

Thank you Victoria's Secret Angel Supermodel Candice Swanepoel for sporting my new studio album 'Plastic Flamingos' Rock T-Shirt. ;) Both my new Album & my Rock T-Shirt will drop in 2016. =)
My condolences to David Bowie's family.
It's hard for me to believe.
I'm
shocked, heartbroken and extremely sad by this news.
He will always be
a huge influence in my music.
I admired him so much since I was a kid.
Will always love you Bowie. RIP. ❤#RIPdavidbowie
Bowie inspired so many artists like myself.
His inspiration in my music is so much that many years ago
I wrote a song
called 'EverChange' in his vocal range, harmony & style.
My dad
really loved this song.
So because my Pops loved this song & in Bowie's
honor it'll be in my
new in the works album 'Plastic Flamingos'. 💜
One of my favorite photos David Bowie with his daughter, year 2000. <3
Record labels receive thousands of albums.
I'll be lucky if they find my Album in there!
This is why I made my own 'Indie Record Label'
So I can make my own break in the music industry
and help other artists. =)
Making my own 'Label' has opened many doors for me.
Now if I would've waited for my break from a major label
I would still be waiting bc I don't sound like Taylor Swift or Justin B.
