A short name for this type of guitar is a "Ricky-12". My nickname is also Ricky... and there are 12 of my songs... Thus, the title "Ricky-12" seemed to have a nice double-meaning.
I was inspired to put this album together after having the great opportunity to meet the gentle Roger McGuinn and his wife Camilla at a local concert venue here in the SF Bay Area in April 2006. I hope you enjoy the "jingle-jangle" of the Rick Pop songs. They are, in a way, in honor of the Byrds and the Beatles sound, in my attempt to preserve that kind of sound/style for the generations before and after.
Love & Music to all. Ricky.
