"Working with RpT's Library was a great experience. Richard and Troy are adept at their craft and very accommodating in the studio. Calm, patient, encouraging, and working towards the best presentation. The after-recording experience was just as good, as they finalized production details to my needs. I would recommend them to anyone."

“Richard is the best. And a nice guy. After using studios in Austin and in California for umpteen years, I’ve found my comfort zone with RpT. Very proud of the many finished tunes and demos completed 2019-2021. He is a top shelf producer, engineer, and collaborator. All under one roof…or coordinating with other players and multiple studios. It helps that Richard can play and sing great harmonies— we even gigged together. When recording, my first call is to RpT.”

“Overall, the sound is phenomenal and I, as well as Chuck Jennings, Guitarist, think it is the best representation of my music I have. It's a fantastic product and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity”.

“The videos and audio recorded at RpT’s Library are professional quality. I have used both to book house concerts and the audio for 1 song was successfully used getting a cut on a nationally distributed compilation CD (the song for the CD will be recorded by an artist on that label). In addition, the audio from 2 other songs recorded at RpT’s Library got me a finalist spot at the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriting Contest in January 2018 which I subsequently won. I will be using RpT’s Libraryagain for live performance videos of songs to be on my new CD.
The studio is warm and inviting, comfortable and lets me create my best possible live performance A real bargain in my opinion’”.

“Wow! Thanks so much for your generosity of spirit, Richard (and Troy!) — I was really knocked out by the friendly vibe, by your patience and thoroughness throughout the setup and recording.”

Damaged Man
The Story behind the song!
I find it interesting that, when I am feeling low, I tend to write sad songs that sound happy. Damaged Man is no different. How do I explain this? I’m not sure. I know we all experience loss in our lives but it’s when it happens that makes a huge difference in how we respond. Many of you know that I lost my mother when I was 4½ years old. I was way too young to understand how to deal with her loss and occasionally my younger self makes himself emotionally known to me. When that happens, it’s up to me to find words to capture his feelings.
