For six years, he was also the resident pianist at the high-voltage Venice eatery, 72 Market Street, a restaurant owned by Dudley Moore and Tony Bill. During his tenure there, Raf met and performed for many a famous person. Most memorable perhaps,was an evening spent teaching Bob Dylan how to play a Gershwin song.

His professional memberships include AGSC–– Australian Guild of Screen Composers, MCA–-Music Council Australia; Equity Alliance, and APRA/AMCOS.
