...co-musical director for Cyndi Lauper on the True Colors tour.
Dave Rosenthal (keyboardist for Rainbow) was musical director before Rick signed on.
Dave wanted to just give the title to Rick, but Rick wouldn't have it. So, they shared the title.
The other 3 in that band were monsters.
Rick played a Steinberger for pretty much the whole show. Played a Strat on a couple & acoustic on at least one.
He got some wonderful clean tones out of that guitar.
