Rick came of age in the New England suburbs during the decade of waterbeds, shag rugs, 8-track tape and orange brown sunsets. Music and guitar were everywhere and everything to everyone. Almost.
There was work to be done. Small achievements came with discipline. Wesleyan U. circa 1977 allowed time for music theory, improvisation, konnakol and world music.
Rick was an early adopter of the guitar synths and digital music technology that emerged in the mid to late 80s. Those nascent technical skills matured and allowed the rent to be paid for many years.
Today Rick writes and produces original music in his home studio in Naples, FL. His focus is on delivering music through internet and social media platforms. It's the new paradigm and Rick's still an early adopter. Engineering new releases gets the music out the door. And technical skills allow the music to reach listeners worldwide.
