I learned of Rick’s passing today when I talked to a coworker of his while out walking in my neighborhood. I am so sorry for your loss Janet. Rick lived for two things; you and his family and his music. I loved working with him at TN and loved hearing him play and listening to you sing. You truly made beautiful music together and were soul mates. Prayers for strength for you and your family.
