I recently had an opportunity to sit down with DC’s own Richard Thompson, keyboard player for the talented band Wisdom Speeks and Global Soul (Whop N EM) to discuss his love of creativity, artists, engineering and music in general. During our conversation, I learned that Richard is also a producer with Absolutely Official Music (AOF), along with Tracey Stallings.
Born and raised in NW, Washington D.C, Richard developed a love for music at the early age of 6. He joined his first band at the age of 11. By age 13, he was playing the keyboard with one of the first bands he joined, Blaque Majik. Today, Richard continues to explore his love of music by investing in state-of the art-equipment, producing music for artists and playing the keyboard with his band up and down the east coast. When he’s not performing, mixing or producing, you can find him coaching his son’s basketball team and taking a football game or two on Sundays.
Based on our conversation, I can tell that he’s an engineer by all accounts and after listening to some his music, it’s obvious that he’s a talented keyboard player. When I spoke with him, I asked him to give us some words of wisdom, or words to live by. His words were, “just stay at it, don’t quit and think beyond yourself and your immediate surroundings.” Before we parted ways, I asked Richard what the future holds for Wisdom Speeks and AOF. He replied, “The world.”
I can’t wait to hear more from this talented and ambitions young man!

The Holiday Season is upon us. This time of the year is unique in many ways. This is the season when most people spend their time outside of work traveling, shopping, and attending holiday parties and family gatherings — in abundance! Of course, for LiveLoveLife, a great deal of our time is spent on creating specialty, custom greeting cards, place cards, keepsakes and holiday favors for our clients. The Holiday Season is one of our favorite times of the year because it gives everyone an opportunity to create special memories for their friends and loved ones by sending them cards and gifts, personalized JUST for them. And that is exactly what this company is all about! We are soooo looking forward to the 2011 Holiday Season!
We can’t wait to post more of our greeting cards, gifts and keepsakes. Stay tuned!

Many people struggle with what to say in a greeting card that they plan to give a new mom. If you are the person struggling with what to write, consider the poem below by Karl and Joanna Fuchs.
A Baby Changes Things
A baby changes things;
They’ll never be the same;
Your life is filled with wonder,
Since your little miracle came.
There’s lots of things to do now,
But with the new tasks you face,
Your family gains more love,
And bonds time will never erase.
Congratulations on your new addition!
LiveLoveLife Blog, Products & Services, Thank You

Well, not exactly. They ARE closed, but they have only closed their doors temporarily. It appears that they are currently making some repairs to the plumbing. The place opened in the 1950s and the eatery has had the same pipes for all of these years, so this is probably to be expected. Nizam Ali, one of the owners, indicated that the closing should not affect Ben’s Next Door.
That’s news that I was happy to hear, because I love Ben’s Next Door!
