Thank you Char for putting this up.
It most certainly will be an honor for me to be in attendance at what will be a very special show.
Rick Fielding was a very special guy and I feel very lucky that I was his friend.
We had many musical moments and he invited me as a guest on his radio show a few times as well.
Having just gone through a menagerie of unlabeled cassette tapes, one such tape revealed a segment taped in Rick's radio studio one night and with us was talented fiddle player Anne Lindsay who was kind enough to back us up as we did "Cherokee Bend" and "Don Quixote." Anne also was a performer on the recent " Lightfoot Tribute Shows" at Hugh's Room in Toronto.
My son Liam was also there with us and sang harmony as well as one of his own tunes.
That's the kind of guy Rick was. Always very accommodating and loved to play.
We finished the show with "Will the Circle be Unbroken."
Cheers, Ron J.
