Are you ready to transport your residents back to the golden era of music, where timeless melodies and cherished memories come alive?
Timeless Classics 2027 is an ever-evolving celebration of the songs your residents grew up with—music that sparks memories, inspires spontaneous sing-alongs, and brings smiles to faces. Between songs, Rick shares lighthearted stories and childhood memories that make every performance personal, engaging, and memorable.
This program is my most popular musical performance in senior communities and is well suited for Memory Care patients as well, offering a familiar engaging connection through music that lights up residents' faces and touches their hearts!
I received a certificate from Hospice of the Valley in Memory Care Services Training and meet the new state requirements for training in Alzheimer's and Dementia Care in Arizona.

Two Time Award Winning Musician!
Cyge lived in Sedona from 2009-2020. During that time, Rick pursued a solo fingerstyle guitar career eventually earning enough respect and popularity to keep himself booked virtually every night playing to the ever changing tourist crowds at various restaurants, hotels, wine bars and concert venues in the region. It was during this time that for 2 consecutive years, 2018 & 2019, he was voted Reader's Choice Award Winner for Best Musician in Kudos, the weekly arts and entertainment paper for Verde Valley and Sedona!
