It'll be a hell of a night and I'd love to be there. Dammit, if I could find a way to be there, I would.

I remember with great affection the day that we traveled from the Wayland, Michigan offices of Lane, Fielding, Patterson and Swan, Layabouts for Hire to the Toronto office, then made music for about 2 1/2 hours and returned to the shores of Gun Lake. Good times.

All best to everyone going there to remember Rick, and to everyone here who remembers a generous, funny, talented man. We're the better for having known him.
