Christmas Truce, Sort of…
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedWell, I’ve gotten all my shopping done, my cards have been sent, my presents wrapped and under the tree, and yesterday, my girlfriend and I did the shopping for the Christmas feast, which we’re preparing for her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. The total was £123 at Sainsbury’s market (haven’t checked how crap the exchange […]
And Another One’s Gone, RIP, Flo
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedIn autumn of 1985, my stage partner and I decided to go our separate ways, she went back to school to get her Ph.D while I began a solo career which lasted about 30 years longer than I expected it to. In spite of us quitting Rick & Ruby after nearly 15 years together, there […]
Coping and Unfriending
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedOn Wednesday morning of last week, I was woken up around 8:30 by my girlfriend calling me on my mobile, but I couldn’t get to it in time to answer. A few seconds later, she rang on my land line and told me she was at my front door with my birthday presents. I didn’t […]
My Musical Protest
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedOK, so this was my playlist for November 13, 2016, with a bit of sarcasm and an amazement that in the previous five days, I’ve only had to unfriend 7 people: Nowhere To Run – Martha & The Vandellas […]
My Favourite Film Suddenly Got More Relevant
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedMy favourite decade for films is the 1950’s, and I’m sure a lot of people would agree, because the film industry was under immense pressure, not only from the McCarthy investigations which so sadly mirror the paranoia of today, but because the developing TV industry was keeping a lot of folks at home.

Maybe He WILL Have To Shoot Someone

That Piece of Cloth and That Song
Published by Rick on Tagged Uncategorized21 years ago, I was working a series of gigs at US military bases in South Korea and Japan.

What Is Happy?
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedNot to be confused with a song title, specifically the B-side of the Cowsills (singing family of late 60’s, real life prototype of the Partridge Family) 1969 US hit version of the title tune from the musical “Hair.” I can’t even tell you what the song sounds like, but it sure sounds like a 1960’s […]
She Unknowingly Gave Me a Career
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI was originally planning to write another rant about why I’m so scared for America and the world if idiocy actually prevails and Donald Trump is elected president, but I think I’m gonna hold off on that one for another week or so. Yes, I’m surely worried, but decided to table that rant when I […]
“All Inclusive?” Well, Not Quite
Published by Rick on Tagged UncategorizedI must start out by saying that the six days/five nights I spent in Italy were a great introduction to a country I thought I was never going to see. I’ve worked in 27 countries in my lifetime, but all of the eastern European countries except for Cyprus have somehow evaded my itinerary. If I’d […]
