Rick’s Dad was a jazz drummer so there was always a snare and high hat in the house. He picked up the guitar at 21 and taught himself how to play. He always wanted to be able to “make music” and percussion by itself was just noise. The first song Rick learned was “Leaving on a jet plane “ and he’ll never forget the excitement of changing the chords and actually playing a song for the first time. This is Ricks first time playing in a band after a lifetime of playing for family and friends. Rick is living his best life and enjoying playing the “role” of “aging rocker” ( he’s also an actor)
