A little bio info on Rick: Originally a native of Montréal, Quebec, Rick was smitten by folk and blues music as a teenager.. He later moved to Toronto and in a career that spanned over thirty years toured extensively throughout Canada, Great Britain and the United States. He recorded albums for Folk Legacy and Borealis. and happily managed to finish his latest album "Acoustic Workshop" while struggling with his illness. Apart from touring and playing his own music Rick taught acoustic techniques on guitar, banjo, mandolin and dulcimer, ran workshops on songwriting and professional development for musicians, did custom leather work, and hosted the radio show Acoustic Workshop on CIUT-FM 89.5. Above all Rick was a giving person as a performer, teacher and friend. He is missed deeply by all who knew him. "I'm gonna sing with the angels When my time comes around This earth is just rehearsal For when I'm heaven bound I'll be well prepared to take my place With harmony and rhyme And sing with the angels when it's time" Rick Fielding 1944 - 2004 For more info, visit: www.borealisrecords.com http://www.thebanjomute.com/rickfielding/index.html
