A Gig in Paradise...

Hi again everybody. I played a gig today on Navarre Beach at a nice venue called Cocodries. I was joined by Donnie Morgan (drums), Greg Roth (bass), Kathy Lyons and Brittany Hale (background vocals).
The beach and water were beautiful and it was nice to see how our little community has recovered from hurricane Ivan two years ago (hang in there NOLA and MS, it will get better)!
It was very laid back and fun. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Now I have to get to the studio for a night of tracking.
See Ya!
Love Rick

Do You Speak Italian?

I just received a nice email from Italian journalist Lino Terlatti who wrote a review of Unstoppable in the Italian magazine Special Interest.

Lino is sweet guy and a longtime fan of Kasim Sulton who produced, sang and played bass on my record. If you would like to read it, go to http://specialinterest.ilcannocchiale.it/ . If you don't speak Italian, try one of the free online translators.

at Yellow Beat Radio in Japan

Friday April 14th & 28th

According to an email from the fine people at Yellow Beat Radio, they will feature "Unstoppable" beginning at approximately 9:06pm (Japan Standard Time) this Friday and again next Friday.

On the first night, they will be airplaying/webcasting the songs,"Turn You On", "Oh No!" and "I'm Hip" along with stingers/station ID's I did for them. They are also planning to play the tune"Oh No!" for both nights of the feature.

To listen all you need to do is go to http://www.yellowbeat.com/ . Japan Standard Time is 14 hours ahead of US Central Time (where I am located) so the feature is on Friday morning here at 7:06am central time.

Also, I will be playing in Navarre, Florida at Cocodrie's Patio on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico this Saturday from 1pm till 5pm with my friends Donnie Morgan, Greg Roth and Kathy Lyons.

If you are in the area stop by and say hello. While you are here you can pick up an autographed copy of Unstoppable or Evidence!

And while we are talking about Evidence, thanks to everyone for ordering a copy from the store on my site!

Studio Work

Last week I began work on an upcoming record of songs I wrote for the acoustic guitar. There is no title decided on yet but my crack graphics guru Anthony Aukamp (Ant) is already working on several themes for the cover.

It's amazing how much faster things move when you work alone but it is also easier to recognize the flaws LOL!

The tracking room.

Notice the oak leaves on the floor.
Remember Beatlemania?

Bobby Taylor (the original Ringo)

stopped by to help on a few demos.
