Rick, how – and why – did you start to play bass?
I actually started on guitar first, when I was 12 or 13 years old. I thought it was fun to be in a band. Back then, there weren’t many bass players, so if you played bass, you were guaranteed to be in a band. We played a lot of surf music, R&B, Beatles music. Later I was in horn bands that played a lot of Sam & Dave and Wilson Pickett.
