Share the journey of "free raga style" explorations 
by Rich Osborn
by Rich OsbornRich studied and performed with acoustic guitar trailblazer Robbie Basho in the early 1970's, then disappeared. A severe injury to his left hand prevented him from playing the guitar for almost 20 years. He spent that time creatively as a painter.
But in 2010, he was included on the Tompkins Square label release, "Beyond Berkeley Guitar", which featured guitarists working today who are influenced by the big Berkeley-bsed innovators, John Fahey and Robbie Basho. This signals Rich's return to public performance, as one of the few guitarists today playing in the "free raga style" begun by Basho.
"... the exhilarating sense of music being discovered as it is played."
