BlueRick - The Boulevard

I wrote my first song in August of 1961. It was sung publicly for the first time at Rockaway Beach 35th street.

It was later performed in November of 1961 at a sweet sixteen with a backing house band. 

Sometime later I found myself being ushered thru the back door of the Garden View Cafe where I performed the song; singing lead and playing lead guitar, with a local back up band, at the request of the bar's owner. It was the beginning of my professional career as a musician.

The song, while emblematic of a much earlier era, has great meaning for me and so I revisited it recently in a recording studio. 

While it sounds like it came from 1961. It is quite different; different lyrics, changed melody line, different orchestration, different title. 

The 1961 version has long been copyrighted by me, as has this more updated and current version. The copyrights are dated to August 1961 and August 2020.

You are cordially invited to preview this 'throwback' on August 14, 2020...and remember....It's FATE

BlueRick

BlueRick, is the performing name of Rick Solomon. Born in 1945, he comes from a musical background and has played and sung since childhood, first performing on the Horne and Hardart's Children's Hour on TV in the very early 1950s at the age of 4-5 years.

As a teenager Rick started playing in bands, and, though underage, played local bars in the Bayside area. While in college, at St. John's University, he briefly performed with the Brooklyn Bridge, substituting for a sick band member. Rick continued playing in several local cover bands over the years as well as doing commercial spots. He later fronted a Long Island blues band called Smoking Guns until they broke up in the mid 90s and more recently was associated with the Bobby Kyle Blues Band.

BlueRick has been a featured solo performer at guitar shows, expos, and street fairs in the local NYC metropolitan area. He has headlined in clubs all along the North and Southeast coast as well as Toronto, Canada.

A multi-instrumentalist, Rick often performs as a solo acoustic act, though he also has fronted many local bands and he is an 'on call' studio musician.

Currently, Rick owns and maintains his own website: www.bluerick.com. In addition his videos can be viewed on youtube. His music can be purchased on all major music distribution sites.

These days Rick writes, composes, performs, records, and markets his own original style of Blues, Country, Country-Pop, Rock, and Reggae from his home studio, BaysideBlue Recording Studio in Bayside, N.Y. where he has recorded two albums and is at work on his third. He is also active as a live performer.

In addition Rick is working on a Novel entitled 'Promised Land'
