Not sure what to say?

My love for the stage began with Rick announcing my name atcthe Troubadour Monday hoots..aThank you Rick!!!

Happy trails Dear Rick many tender thoughts to you

Rick and a violinist whose name I cannot recall did a short Southwest tour with Jennifer Warnes (nee Jennifer, nee Jennifer Warrens) circa '71. Even though guitarists and keyboardists rarely mesh easily or agree upon anything Rick and I seemed to get along OK.

I got to meet Rick in 1975 when I booked Mason Williams and friends in my tent show in northern Wisconsin.... a great musician as you all know how lucky I was

Patti, I picture how your face lit up when you looked at him and send hugs. I'm a little late but I care about you and want to add my voice here.

I was so sorry when I heard that Rick had passed. We had gone to school from V.N Jr. High through Valley College, and I last saw him with Mother's Boys in Altadena where he reminded me I traded, I think, a bike for a guitar...or vice versa. May his family treasure the time they had with him, and may he R.I.P.
