Hi Dave Swan, it's nice to hear your good words of Ricky. Before he was a Left Coaster (20 yrs ago) he was an East Coaster. I went west with him (we were both young men then) but only intended to stay breifly. We've only crossed, I think, 3 times since then, once a couple of years ago for a weekend at Mystic, rehashed alot of old material & tried out alot of new stuff on each other. It's quite a pleasure to hear well of him & if you come across him again pass on my reguards to an old friend & see if he'll come back to the 'Cat. Thanks, Barry Finn
