Quotes

Ricky is a consummate professional. He’s always where he needs on a timely basis and ready to contribute in any and everyday imaginable. While he’s an incredible soloist, he’s equally adept and sensitive to being part of an ensemble as well. His presence in any band is always a significant enhancement.
