My wife & I are lucky enough to live in an area that Richie frequented. The Temple down the street, The Odeum Theater in East Greenwich, and the Narrows Theater for the Arts are all places that Richie frequented multiple times a year. We've seen his shows in small venues so often that he knew us by name. He'd ask us why we never sat in the first row and my answer would always be "Because I don't want to pick pieces of your picks out of my teeth!"
He gave me a couple that I still have...both split down the middle!
