The late Rick Fielding and his lovely wife, Heather, drove over 14 hours to do an opener (support) slot for a very well known, well-established, high profile folk musician.

Rick got a standing ovation. The headliner performed as if he were bored with the whole thing and IMO, did not give a great performance.

It was Rick's finest hour.
