What I've been up to in 2021 

I think it's safe to say...."Andy Ascolese". :) *sip*

Noticed Keith Howland from Chicago. Awesome

Ooh I saw lots of folks we know! Sip!!! This sounds like an incredibly creative project. I am certain we, your Sunday crazies, will LOVE it...Thanks for sharing what you can.

Color me intrigued!

This is gonna be incredibly epic. Just you all wait!

Happy Thanksgiving Richie! Glad to see you have been keeping busy. I was a happy part of your Sunday afternoon live streams And enjoyed them very much. In July I sold my house, business and all of my stuff(except of course my musical equipment and guitars) In San Jose California and I hit the road and I'm traveling the country I can't wait to see some more content. I very much appreciate you, you keep me inspired to play. Gale

I saw you with BÖC at the Riviera theater in NY! It was a great gig, can't wait to hear your original stuff.

Ann Marie, Emily, your Pop, and of course the other great Band Geek members…etc. All us Band Geek fans really look forward to the new project.

So many cool people .... pleasantly surprised to see RUDY!

Hi Richie. Thanks for the updating. Saw some familiar faces...Great to see Doug Rappaport in the mix...WooHoo! Happy Thanksgiving!

Awesome....looking forward to see you 12/3 in Fort Wayne...welcome back!

Caught you at Des Plaines theatre the other day! Been a fan for a looooong time

Happy Thanksgiving brother. Thanks for your post...looking forward to you next live Jam!

I thought I saw Rudy Sarzo

Man, this looks SOOOO COOOOL!!! Can't wait!

So cool. Thank you I’ll give that a try on my very first song.

Keith Howland of Chicago! Cool

Hi Richie, you are awesome. I had fun rockin' with you for 3 days in July in California and 2 days in November in Arizona. Thanks for your guitar pics. Keep charging with your amazing projects

What a great update, Richie! So happy to see current and past BOC members be part of the project plus the Band Geek gang and others. It’s so nice to see how you constantly go out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself with multiple projects and challenges. You set an example for us all to do the same, as you say at the end of your video. Live your dreams and make them happen. Have you decided on the title of your space rock musical?

It's interesting to see what was a simple project gain a life of its own. I can't wait to see the finished project. Kudos to your creativity.

No doubt this will be awesome!

I love the sense of wonder and mystery Richie. Very exciting to see this new project materialize with your wonderful cast of family and friends who are talented and amazing, but with your superpowers behind this production I have no doubt you will blow us all away!

And good life advice at the end. If you need a narrator intro with an "NPR voice" lol...

Buck Dharma, Bobby Rondinelli and several of the Band Geeks.

Onwards and upwards :: I believe that just making a album in 2021 is low hanging fruit :: congratulations in your ambitious journey :: I think now we all should be creating music media productions moving forward; movies, multitrack video recorded performances, animation, Soundtrack & such all with a visual component :: So the music can end up on multiple delivery platforms :: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” :: much success in your ambitious endeavor...☕️🤠👍🏽

Great stuff man. So grateful to be apart of this stuff. You’ve always included me on so much and this one was a ton of fun. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I'm always amazed at your level of energy to do all these different things, Richie! I get exhausted just watching! Keep up the great work!

You are amazing! I cannot even find time to study the guitar.

Hey when you guys get to tour in the UK, don’t forget to let us know! Cheers Dave

John Petrucci whoa!

We need more people like you on the earth. Thanks.

You and Band Geek are so cool. Nice covers and it seem you guys have a lot of fun playing.

We will love it, for sure. Can’t wait.

Holy cow, man. This is incredible and I am so happy to see you enjoying this project. It will be epic and something you will look back at years from now and be proud of.

I love that you have a “cousin Phil” (and other fam) who jump in to help out. That’s what separates the true New Yorkers 😂. Happy Thanksgiving Richie can’t wait for the epic release!

I am shocked that you will actually make the whole animation stuff by yourself...! The eyebrow motions on Richie-character are hilarious!!!😆 The project will definitely be awesome! Keep up the good stuff!🤘🤘

Very cool, Richie. Thanks for showing us the tools you are using. That iClone is amazing.

Love your talent Richie. I have missed the Steam show and realize you’ve busy. May the Band Geeks return to the live stream soon.

Awesome Project man. Can't wait to see the finished product whenever that may be

Hey! I see the core band geeks…

Very cool! Happy Thanksgiving! Can you make your guy blink? Maybe he wouldn’t look so crazy unless that’s what you were going for. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Great job looks great and loving following this thing grow.

Rudy Sarzo

I hope the old man was nice to you in front of your friends. 😆

I hate to sayvthis but stick to what you guys did best. Doing some of the best covers on line. You will be disappointed when you release it and it just fizzles.
