Peter, the thing that makes this so hysterical is that it's SO TRUE! We gotta get him in some kinda 12 step program. (He'd have them all singing "...Hello Rick..." in harmony by the end of the first meeting though, as he accompanied them on the Vampified Therobo.)

Rick has the true heart of a teacher. He absolutely believes in everybody, and wants them to know how great it can feel to make music. Where he gets his patience and talent I'll never know. Where he gets his Pfarflebutz and Harmonicandelabra I'm not sure I wanna know. Sure is fun though-- lyin' on the tracks, watching that Fielding Special come barreling toward ya...
