Ric's first cd ‘the Wind Gone Mad,' released in fall 2000, is regarded by many songwriters and fans to be a benchmark in writing. His music reflects the free and independent spirit of the west coast. His songs paint pictures of stones skipping on the water and of his heroes dancing to the moon.
In the Spring of 2002, Ric released a 2nd cd ' magic garbage can' with his wife and partner, Elly Parker. Inspired by their combined family of 7 children, and 3 grand children, the album is filled with colorful characters learning a few of life's lessons. Like Ric and Elly, the songs celebrate life in a magical way.
This cd is what Ric hopes to be many cds coming out of his studio at bLUE eCHO music. Entitled 'Ball of Flames' this cd has Ric's thumb prints all over it! Recorded in 3 studios, this recording combines some of his early works with new songs and packages the mosaic in a theme about the element of 'Fire'. There's also an interesting blend of new arrangements mixed with some of the old technology he used in the 90's. This particular cd also includes Ric's love of art in computer graphics.
In celebration of his 3rd release Ric is offering for a limited time all 3 of his recordings for $45US (includes Shipping/Handling). This offering is also available to Vancouver Island Residents in Canadian Funds.
