I can't picture this Kingston Crossroad forum or Rick Daly's FolkUSA website without Rick Daly. 
 
For some reason, as of late, I've been listening to Simon & Garfunkel's 1968 "Bookends" album. I don't know why.  
 Maybe it's because Mobile Fidelity (MoFi) is re-issuing this LP as one of their Master Recordings next month.  
 
The irony of this particular album is Side One deals with the cycle of life from beginning to end: 
 
Time it was and oh what a time it was, it was. 
A time of innocence; a time of confidences. 
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph, 
Preserve your memories; they're all that's left you. 
 
And Rick Daly has left us with a bouquet of memories. 
Rick shared so much info & pics & vids with us, and he made Crossroads and FolkUSA sparkle like a precious diamond. 
God knows, we will totally miss you, Rick. 
 
RIP: Rick Daly (1947-2024)
