I am profoundly grateful that I had the chance to meet Rick a few times, know him, see him perform onstage, and share in the music with him. May you journey on to the very best, Rick. I'll play some more harmonica for you on the other side one fine day. Vaya con Dios, my friend.

"Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum."

And, Heather, my thoughts are with you.
