Who is Rhinehart
This is my history: b. 1950; grew up, Steubenville, Ohio;
Working Singer/Songwriter (1969-present),
Professional librarian by day (1977-present) (MLS KSU '77),
Veteran (Army, 72-74),
Father,spouse,etc.,Co-founder and host of the: ... Billy & Brucie Show -- the classiest live music showcase in Ohio from 1987 to 1999. This show is where the performer and the audience were #1 and where $2.00 would you get the best entertainment value anywhere --specializing in pairing fine local talents with veteran regional or national performers. Produced at The Front Room, Campus Coffehouse, at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
Since then, I've helped produce recording projects for Bruce Dalzell, The Local Girls, Cathy Wicks, Pat White, and Tony Xenos in addition to my own stuff.
I've had the minimal art education having been a benchwarmer in a few college art classes ; I studied writing in college ; I studied photography with a group in the Quad Cities of Iowa & Illinois ; I would give peace a chance.
I do custom projects, working with the customer to insure mutual satisfaction. I have a highly personal style, and would remind any prospective customers that certain limitations prevail. If I can't do a requested design, I'll say so, and if I don't want to make a certain design, I reserve the right to refuse. I work in every way I can to create high quality, totally unique instruments. Hardware, electronics, and woods are the customer's call.
