Richard Young has produced a new album.
My Journey On is a contemporary smooth jazz CD of original tunes featuring Richard on soprano and alto sax.
It is now available on itunes and cdbaby.com as well as other digital download sites.

Dear Friends,
This past week I had the honor of working with Bobby Hendricks- the lead singer from the original Drifters and also the Playmates who are a local band in Lakeland, Florida. I worked as the recording engineer for a singles project. The song was called "Mississippi" and was written by Eddie Snyder- famous song writer who has written for Frank Sinatra and other great singers. After the song "Mississippi" was aired live by a radio station that was on location at a Holiday Inn in Lakeland, Fl. Thursday April 3rd, I was able to speak with Eddie Snyder who was in the live audience. He is a remarkable gentleman. He is now 89 years old and in good health. Bobby Hendricks did a live performance of other great hits that he made famous such as "Under The Board Walk". Bobby Hendricks and the Playmates are currently working on a CD, which I will be producing with Don Amicone. Bobby has taken an interest in a song that I wrote some years ago entitled "Beauty Queen". It will be included on the CD.

Thank you for your interest and I appreciate all your support.

Warm Regards,
Richard Young

Dear friends,
It is always a pleasure to perform for you and to do what I love so much. Thanks for your support and I hope to see you all soon!

Dear Friends,

The Arts and Jazz Festival in New Smyrna Beach, FL was a great time for me this past weekend! I met some of the most wonderful people there. Many thanks to all the business owners and fans that welcomed me and supported my music. From what I understand, the Arts Festival takes place the 4th weekend of every month through out the entire year. Come and check it out sometime. You will love it. New Smyrna Beach is a great community of people and the location is incredibly beautiful.

Warm regards,
Richard Young

Greetings everyone,

I have finally released a new CD (The Colors of My World). I have also included a few of my favorite original compositions from my previous recordings. I took a lot of time getting this one together. I spent countless hours mixing and working the board. This CD is only available through me. I hope you all will request a copy. I think you will really enjoy it.
P.S. My Aunt is an artist and she painted the cover art. View her other works at www.pulseartists.com and look for Kathy Brady.

Sincerely,
Richard Young

Everyone,
I had a very enjoyable time performing at the Ormond Beach Arts Museum and Gardens this past weekend.
I enjoy playing pop tunes, funk, and R&B at clubs and other major events where the music is "loud", but I absolutely love being able to just sit back, relax and play beautiful jazz tunes. It always makes me feel so good when others enjoy what I do.

Thank you!
Richard Young
