I was just thinking of Rick earlier today. I was practicing my banjo and remembering the lesson that he gave me. He and Heather were here for dinner, he was recovering from his surgery and in great spirits. He was kind of like a drill sargeant having me play the 3-2-5-1 roll while he played mandolin. Barking out "faster", "I can't hear the first string etc." It was a great night.

Rick was so supportive of anyone who was interested in music.

Heather is marketing his banjo mute here.

I keep in touch with her from time to time. I should give her a call. I always admired their relationship. I don't think that I have ever seen two people so connected.
