FWIW, I spoke to Rick today and he was having a pretty good day.

Having said that, Rick has done nothng but cost me money. I tune into his radio show and hear something great by someone like The Lonesome Chicken Farmin' Cowboys from the 1870's, it's great and I end up buying the CD. Having said that, I enjoy every one of them.

My ears have always been opn, Rick has just pointed me in the right direction many times.

There have been some life lessons too. I'll get back to them.
