Hey Bugsy,
A friend saw your Whatever Happened To post from 1999 mentioning my name and called me about it. Thanks for the kind words about the good old folk club days in UK. I am alive and playing back here in New England. Check out our web site at www.rickandtheramblers.com and listen to the western swing music I am playing these days. John Bailey of London built that 18-string guitar for me in 1965. He also made guitars for John Renborn and Bert Jansch. I had a terrific time playing in the UK for a 10 year period from '65 to '74 and deeply appreciate the friends and musicians I met during those years. Thanks for asking!
Best Wishes!
