On this week's episode of Free Hands Friday (July 25), we wrap up our 2 month tribute to Canadian Stick players by featuring Ric Byer interviewed by Dale Ladoucer. Ric is involved in every aspect of music. He is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer (obviously Stick is included in there.) Ric has 3 recordings out with Gavin Harrison. With all Ric's musical experience, I am sure there will be something for everyone this week. Check out his music at the links below and come join us.

Ric's music can be found on his Youtube channel.

Ric is one of THE most incredible talents on just about any instrument he picks up… But his Stick playing is just great. he has great groove and guitar chops as well. For the un-initiated to 05Ric, check out those recordings with Gavin… AND that cat can sing and has an incredible voice as well

I am most definitely in.

In between 11:45 PDT and 12:00 PDT, watch for an email from Russell or myself, this will get you into the session. Remember also that next week is Greg Howard. If you want to be included in the session, let us as we generally have 7-8 spots available.

Looking forward to wrapping up Canadian Stick months in full style! Catch you tomorrow.

Blocked at work or I would be there now!

No need to feel left out, technical difficulties prevented the majority of would-be participants from joining. Russell ended up being the interviewer, and I was the peanut gallery.
