I'm blown away by the fact that this thread was started by Rick and that now that he's gone, it's carrying on! It's just so perfect - he was in constant celebration of everyone's life that he came into contact with - this is the perfect Rick legacy thread!!

OK, so here's mine: Born in 1945 of parents who were not particularly musical (except for Mom). Grew up in the fifties and came to Folk music throught the commercial boom headed up by the Kingston Trio but through that discovered the deeper roots. Had the good fortune of landing a job at CBC Radio and producing many folk recordings over the years. I continue to do that after leaving CBC about 6 or 7 years ago. I have the good fortune of loving my job and finding fulfilment every day!

Helping Rick finish his last CD is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
