Thanks for the good info and anecdotes.
I played a few jobs with an orchestra conducted by Nielsen's father, a very funny man with his own "schtick" but also a very competent conductor, and I see a lot of him in Rick when he's onstage.
A also once played a job with another orchestra where Rick played a guitar concerto, but didn't fully appreciate it at the time (was too caught up in thinking of him as a has-been- talking late 80s.)
