Below is a portrait of Russell that he commissioned Al Hirshfeld to draw in 2001. A little over a year later, Hirshfeld passed away.
(Continued below.)
Russell started playing the piano at the Cartwheel in 1974. For many years, he played at the Cartwheel on Thursdays and the Raven on Saturdays. In 2004, the Cartwheel burnt down and he went full Time at the Raven. In 2008 the Raven closed in 208. and Russell moved to the Nevermore where he now plays. The Nevermore is in Solebury PA, less than 1 mile from New Hope PA. He specializes in showtunes and standards usually written before 1950.
At this site, you can download the lyrics to most of the songs that Russell plays. You can also check the dates that he will be playing.
