From way back in Rick's drumming days > Gary Lee and The Group, Not to be confused with another Garry Lee, (who along with his band Showdown) recorded the popular underground hit "The Rodeo Song". who Rick also worked with extensively back in the 1980's and 90's in Alberta, Pictured in this Victoria B.C.  band from the early 1960s is >  From left to Right  Reg Young bass, Gary Lee (Gary LeMarquand)  (guitar and vocals, Rick Brown drums, Lenny Seimons guitar,

Rick loved Elvis and here he is at Graceland, Elvis Presley's mansion in  Memphis TN  1999


Rick at Hank Snows funeral, Grand Old Opry (Nashville TN)  Dec 23rd 1999.  It was open to the public and seemed more like a Concert than a Funeral as many of Country Music's biggest stars performed on the Opry stage that day, including Canada's own "Country Gentleman" Tommy Hunter.


All the Musicians, Singers and Crew of the "Canadian Country Music All-Star Show" were invited to City Hall to meet the Mayor in Glascow Scotland 1988. The Mayor also provided everyone with a trip to a local brewery where some excellent Scotch Whiskey was sampled by all.


Before a concert in Copenhagen Denmark enjoying the sights of that magnifcent city, Rick just happened to bump into a beer truck. The Danes love their beer. They call it OL, Rick calls it Tuborg. Great tasting beer.


Rick playing his Yamaha Electric Grand Piano backing up an Elvis impersonator on a stage somewhere in Edmonton Alberta (late 1980's) hmmmm! Rick looks a little bit bored but that Elvis Impersonator was actually very good.


Rick in front of the Capital Records building in Hollywood California. 1992.




Rick (R) andDavid Foster(L) on the balcony of their 2 bedroom shared apartment 1971.  Shortly after this picture was taken Dave moved to Los Angeles where he went on to be nominated for 47 Grammy Awards of which he won 16 as either writer, arranger or  producer.  Rick always knew Dave was destined for the big time.   Sorry about the blurred pix, think this was taken on one of those old polaroid instant cameras
