I was lucky enough to share an apartment with Dick when he was touring in the UK several years ago. A very amateur guitarist myself, I instantly recognised that he was what Dave Bromberg describes here as a 'deep musician'. I listened to him play many times and was always impressed with his skill and musical sensitivity. He was good enough to spend some time trying to help me improve my playing and was unfailingly kind and patient in the face of my consistent incompetence. After he returned to the States I looked him up whenever I visited the West Coast and always enjoyed our wide-ranging discussions and our time together. He was gentle, intelligent and highly talented and I'll miss him as a mentor and a friend.
