I had a few Rick moments last week. First I was in my car and happened to turn on CBC radio and there was some good solid familiar sounding acoustic guitar picking. I thought by mistake I had left Rick's CD in my player, but then the DJ said "That's Toronto's Rick Fielding". I was listening to some of the Hesitation Blues - He's still on coast to coast   over the airwaves. Then a day later I decided to tune into an internet Old Time music radio show called "Sugar In The Gourd" It so happens that this show which is still playing, deals with the blues and it's relation to Old Time music. Well I started to hear some incredible blues stuff that I know Rick would have loved, and I had this urge to call him up - (so I did, so to speak in my own way) Still listening to the show, they played a live performance on Reverend Gary Davis playing "The Hesitation Blues" - the exact version that Rick played!. They also played tunes by Dick Justice , Bo Carter, and countless other influences of his .I found myself in Ricks'd music world there for some time with Rick listening along with great approval.
