Hi, my name is Rick and I like music. It's all i've ever done. It's all I know how to do. I really like red and black.
I've played in too many bands over the years as a guitarist and sometimes tryhard singer. I'm slowly getting better at the singing bit.
I've been recording and/or mixing other artists for the last few years but am taking a hiatus from that to get some of my own tunes out of my head and into yours, with a little help from my newly acquired Macbook.
Keep checking back here periodically for new tunes. If you like them, you can help me out by rating them on the JJJ unearthed site. If you don't like them then it's no skin off my nose, I'm not doing it for you anyway. Making music makes ME happy and that's what counts :)
Hey Rick, remember that one day session you did with us right at the end of last year? Well one of the tracks off that "dead end shuffle" (track 6 on the cd) is going to be on the blunt magazine sampler next month. It's a testament to how good it turned out in such a little space of time!
I had to brush the dust off the "Book of Disappointment (& mates that let me down)" the other nite. The remedy soft cocks were non-fronters. All that free alcohol & food..... Oh well, what can I say??? Once a muso, .......

Hey stalker Firstly I am dating a wonderful, sexy, intelligent man at the moment who would never publically chase me... as he understands the sanctity of a loving, private relationship. Secondly.... you have not offered me my drug of choice, and therefor I must decline you invitation - though your charm, good looks and intolerant arogance were of serious consideration.
Hey spunk Still havent been able to hear the new song.... but I have officially 6 days until you can play me everything :-) Im in Katmando now.... you would love this place. Luv ya XXXXXX
