“Watching him play inspired me then to learn, and inspires me today to write and compose”.

Song of my Father - William.

Some of Rick’s songs were inspired from current events.

Such songs include:

To Many Mishaps, How many Last Straws, Never Look Away,
What Time will Tell, Kill the Corrupt, Pile it High,
& See Your Past

Other songs have a more personal connection such as:

Inspirational Feeling, Tribute to Jim Morrison, We’d Smile Again,
Then Your Eyes met Mine, Hope for Love,
Lightening Struck (for Sally), Looking Back over Time,
& Why Have I Waited.

Rick began creatively writing after the tragic death of his cousin Grant on XMAS Day ’05. The song Like you Mean It (for Grant) helped Rick and his family heal from the loss.
