"I've been working as a luthier in SW Florida almost 20 years. In this time I have met many guitarists, of which there are a great amount of awesome, talented musicians here. Rick is one of these great players. From Jazz to Rock, Blues to Metal..he's worked with some of the greats, and a true friend. If you wish for a taste of this talent, come to the GuitarFest March 21st at Arts Bonita."
