Todd Rundgren and Kasim Sulton

NOLA House of Blues

Last week I got to see Todd Rundgren and Kasim Sulton at the House of Blues in New Orleans. It was a great show, full of energy and an eclectic setlist from Todd's many albums. Jessie Gress was on guitar and Mike Urbano (Smashmouth) on drums. Don't miss this show!!!Although I hadn't seen Kasim since we finished mixing my record "Unstoppable", he was still the same great guy getting Debbie and me VIP seats. Afterwards, we went out for a late dinner, a cigar and some laughs at a cool Middle Eastern place across the street. After Kasim finishes his solo work in the early spring, we hope to start my next record together with him producing again. Maybe I can get him to do some solo shows in Japan next fall??Peace, Rick

What's Up?

I have been so busy since I got home from Japan that I haven't had any time to update my blog here.

Last Saturday night in Fort Walton Beach we held a benefit concert for 1 year old SBS victim Kaleb Schwade. We had a enthusiastic crowd of about 100 people. We had so many people help from musicians to businesses to individuals. Just to name a few, I want to thank John Giles from Leitz Music for donating the lights and sounds, my brothers in all things musical, Donnie Morgan and Greg Roth as well as the other artists that performed, Jo Fingers, Beach Mice, Thoughts of Yesterday and Lucky Henry (confusing?)...

I also want to thank our MC's Greg Guzmon from WUWF and Aimee Schaffer from Coast 100, the Florida Department of Children and Families and Janet Goree from the National Shaken Baby Alliance. Special thanks to Paul "Turtle" Williams for engineering.

Peace, Rick
