As one of Rick's students of numerous instruments over the years, I was grateful to be invited to be part of the Tribute last night. I was extremely pleased at all of the performances and all the performers and the general turnout of Rick's fans. There were so many things I wish I had said but time didn't permit and generally they were covered by other performers. My biggest regret is that they did have to turn away people at the door, and several of my friends (and Rick's fans) were disappointed. My thanks to the organizers and to the audience, and my warmest regards to Heather Fielding.
