Thank you for sharing, I always love reading your work.Hope all is well with you.
I backed up RD, playing bass. He was a humble guy, and great musician, both technical and vibe.
What sticks out the most to me in this article was the advice you gave them concerning their future in CCM. Your advice was totally spot on. As a bass player who is Christian, I always received immense criticism for playing “secular” music. I quietly continued to play bass with an approval from above I knew was real. Staying faithful to the call ….
One more amazing story. I also grew up with Hang On Sloopy, and my way back in the day band played it. I always knew who Rick D was, but learned more about him yesterday than I was aware of before. What a career! So interesting that you crossed paths. And good advice, I think. And RIP RD.
