'ONE FOR THE FAMILY" -- New CD RELEASED!

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0800

IT'S HERE! "One For the Family" is officially released, and available on the Anastasis Records label. Get yours right now by following the link to "Order My Music." I have also re-designed that entire page so that you can more easily get to all my CDs, which are available either through CD Baby or the itunes Store.

I look forward to hearing from you with your reviews of the new music! I hope you enjoy the new (and some not-so-new) songs. As I've shared in prior news, this one is a compilation of songs I've written for my family members. But my desire is that you are able to see yourself and your own family in most of these.

Blessings to you, and enjoy!

The master CD for the new album has been sent (finally!) to be duplicated, packaged, wrapped, and shipped for futher distribution! "One For the Family" should be ready for final release by mid-month, so stay tuned for further news! Final distribution will be through CDBaby.com, and will include hard copy CDs as well as download capability from my pages there and through various other services, including 'iTunes.'

This album has been a true labor of love, comprised entirely of songs I've written over the past 30 years to various members of my family. I am quite pleased with the results, and hope everyone else gets something out of the songs, as they can easily apply to anyone's family.

"I Do, I Do" A Big Hit!

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Wow! What a great show (if I do say so myself)! "I Do, I Do," starring real life married couple Jillian Trice-Solano and Dreyson Solano, was also a real "family" production, with Dad Rick as Artistic Director and Mom Linda as piano accompaniment. We did five performances at the Historic Shuler Theater to enthusiastic audiences, many of whom were overheard saying it was the "best show of the summer season!" Jill and Drey were fantastic as Agnes and Michael Snow, portraying a "typical" marriage over a span of 50 years, and literally "aging" on stage. The play was full of great music, as well as both comedy and pathos, pulling no punches in depicting all the ups and downs we all recognize from a married life. There was often not a dry eye in the house at final curtain call. This will always be one of my favorite theatrical experiences ever!

(Go to "Photo Gallery" and select "Theater" to see some great photos of the show!)

Rick "guest stars" with Dreyson Solano

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Dreyson Solano and Rick Trice shared the stage at the El Raton Theater Wednesday night for a live set of acoustic guitars, bass, and hand drum, not to mention some great two part harmonies on both covers and original songs. An audience of about 50 people enjoyed the two hour set. It marked the first time the two had performed together, and all agreed the voices and music blended nicely!

Dreyson's next venue will be a concert in the park, Sunday, July 26, at Ripley Park.

Know Christ? No Fear!

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0800

What a fantastic and great time of year is upon us!

Wait a minute! Not only have we just experienced in this country the longest, most expensive, and tiresome presidential campaign season in history (which of itself points strongly to the very same mentality that has caused the current economic chaos--"spend, spend, spend"), we are seeing many friends, family, and acquaintences trying to cope with very real problems economic, health, and spiritual-wise.

So what's so great about it?

Mainly, how refreshing to be reminded, and truly celebrate, that 2000 some-odd years ago the Lord God Almighty sent us a Savior, through who's Holy Spirit He has tried to woo the world back to Him and His ways for that same period of time. Would that we would!

Alas, the Bible is clear that we will unfortunately continue to see a slide into utter despair, war, and loss until God sees fit to call it to an end.

As followers of Christ, though, we are not to share in this despair. We are to give a constant accounting of the Hope that is within us, and live out our times with the fruit of Peace on our lips and Joy in our hearts.

Easier said than done? You betcha! In fact, it cannot be done, save by the strength and power of the Holy Spirit. As the t-shirt I saw the other day says, "No Christ? Know Fear -- Know Christ? No Fear!"

True Peace and Joy be yours through Christ our Lord this special season.
