Thanks Peter, for an amazing contribution.

Paul, beautifully done!

I only know a few things. My name, for example, is pronounced 'rick-en-bock'. My guitar is pronounced 'rick-en-back-er'. I don't have a nickname for my last name, but if I did, it would be my choice as to how to pronounce it. Since RIC prefers Rick-en-back-er, my guitar is very happy with that.

Pepper album as the second half. no mean feat. (I was there to see my nephew Garrett, keyboardist ...

Ha ! sounds good to me. I'll ask nice.

Smithereens will be in SF 2/17 at the Red Devil Lounge. really looking forward to it.. I'm sure these songs will be pretty amazing live.

really no worries Paul! I'll take that "E" another time. And thanks Mark for the welcome. No direct relation, but likely somewhere way back on the family tree.

Well, that would be, um, me, actually. My first name is spelled 'Siegrid.' I took the photo at the showroom after the RIC factory tour during the 75th festivities. The camera angle is something I call 'pure envy.' http://archives.rickresource.com/clipart/happy.gif
