I guess that I must have known Dick for over twentyfive years, although it seems like he's always been in my life. I find it hard to imagine the rest of it without his warmth, his humour, his gentle suggestion of "...maybe it might be better if you tried an Ab7 with a suspended fourth..." when a tune just wouldn't go right.

He was someone whom I could always count on to raise my spirits after a hard day at the Anaheim NAMM Show - to restock my pun-chest with execrable, tortuous, magnificent strokes of linguistic genius - to re-inspire me to try, yet again, to really master the mandolin.
Where am I going to find a friend like that? Where are any of us going to find a friend like that?
Goodbye, old friend.
Linda and I miss you.
