Laura and I have been in "the biz" since the mid 80's and we have plenty of stories. This episode we share a few like almost getting fired by Kiefer Sutherland or when Roger Daltry came over to record vocals in our little garage studio. Yep, true stories this episode.

Some of the episodes of So Sez Rick are about our daughter, Ruthie. In this episode she tells her version. Risky? Yep, but it turns out okay.

We're making Valentine's day last a little longer into the month of February with a new story I wrote about how my mom and dad met. Then we end the episode with a love song that Laura wrote.

This episode features my first guest storyteller, Fred Rubin. Fred has had a long career as a writer and producer on episodic TV shows including the show where we met, many years ago. In this episode, he tells us about the time they had a very special guest star on the hit show Different Strokes.

Well, if you've ever wondered how I got the nickname -Pigboy-, here you go. Disclaimer: There are some basic details about working at a meat packing plant. It's not too graphic. You can handle it.

In this episode Laura and I share a story and a song that speak to the times we are living in. Hopefully we can all find some middle ground to talk to each other. I have to say, I always knew Laura was a good songwriter but she sings the heck out of this song.

I just finished recording the audiobook of Phil Swann’s The Mozart Conspiracy. The prologue was a hoot to record. I’d like to share it with you. Enjoy.

Here’s the conclusion of the story we started last episode. I hope it puts you in the Christmas spirit. Enjoy.

This episode is the first of a two part series. It’s a story I wrote a few years ago about a live nativity scene and pageant that goes off the rails on Christmas eve at a small Baptist church. Even though it’s a fictional story, the characters are drawn from the people I knew growing up in my small farming town.

If you have ever wondered what a turkey is thinking around this time of year, you will find out in the episode as Rick reads The Turkey Memoirs.
