Bert Monster + Rick

 

At the 28th of November 1978, some enthousiastic Ekseptionfans went to the German city of Aachen to visit a concert from their favourite group. This concert was organised on occasion of the release of “Ekseption ‘78” record. After the excellent performance, Rick gave us the opportunity to talk with him about this concert in the dress-room. During this talk, I made a picture of Rick which I want to describe as:  “Rick with his wellknown typical way of looking”. Because it is on the 28th of November 2008 exactly 30 years ago that I made this picture, I thought this is a very good reason to place this picture of Rick on the site, from the man who gave us for many years so much pleasure by his splendid compositions and arrangements. You can see this as a special way of honour to this marvelous keyboardplayer! Rick Baron
