Produced by......RICK
WHITELAW and RICK FOX
The two Ricks have been friends and colleagues for nearly
20 years now. Musical director/pianist Rick (Fox) met
guitarist Rick (Whitelaw) while assembling a band for the
Canadian premiere production of "Harry Chapin: Lies
and Legends" being produced in Toronto at Centre Stage (later
re-named CandianStage). Since that production the Ricks have
collaborated on a large number of diverse projects. For a
time they had a jingle production company (R and R Productions).
As a record producer Rick W. has hired Rick F. to play on
recordings. As a musical director Rick F. has hired Rick
W. to play in pit bands. They produced the music for a television
series (Nilus The Sandman) and as musical supervisor and
co-creator of the Celtic extravaganza "Needfire" Rick
F. hired Rick W. to serve
as musical director/guitarist. While recording Cyrano" they
were both gainfully employed in the Toronto production of
Disney's "The
Lion King", R.F. as musical director, R.W. as guitarist
(with ukelele and kalimba thrown in).They even have cottages
on the same lake! As Rick W. likes to say, "Two Ricks, no
waiting".
