Rick Dodderidge is one of THE most dedicated music enthusiasts I’ve ever encountered in 70+ years on this planet. I kept running into Rick and his lovely friend Vicki at various events around Kansas City.  He co-hosts a monthly spot on Mike Lytle’s Real Deal on KKFI where he shares his favorite music and accompanying stories such as you will hear in THIS conversation.  Rick, Vicki and I ended up on the same Ensemble Iberica patron’s trip to Ireland in the Spring of 2023.  We shared some profound musical and cultural experiences there.  A conversation in Ireland led to Rick’s appearance on the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show. As you’ll hear, Rick literally will scale any logistical or economic wall to witness his favorite musical icons. He saw the Grateful Dead over 400 times.  He went $150,000 in credit card debt nearly 40 years ago to travel the world to see the likes of Genesis, The Dead and Gong.  He hasn’t let up…most recently travelling to London for a Jeff Beck tribute and to our Great Northwest to see Joni Mitchell with Brandi Carlile.  Enjoy this out of body conversation with music lover extraordinaire...Rick Dodderidge.
