 Our friend Rick Fielding
passed away Saturday evening March 20th after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer.
Originally a native of Montréal, Quebec, Rick was smitten by folk and blues music as a teenager. He later
moved to Toronto and in a career that spanned over thirty years toured extensively throughout Canada, Great Britain
and the United States.
He recorded albums for Folk Legacy and Borealis and happily managed to finish his latest album "Acoustic Workshop"
while struggling with his illness.
Apart from touring and playing his own music Rick taught acoustic techniques on guitar, banjo, mandolin and dulcimer,
ran workshops on songwriting and professional development for musicians, did custom leather work, and hosted the
radio show Acoustic Workshop on CIUT-FM 89.5.
Above all Rick was a giving person as a performer, teacher and friend.He will be missed deeply by all who knew
him.
