Rik Emmet claiming his right of first night?

Be nice. That better not be another MIL joke.

Tim, I know you told me the story before but I can't remember how you guys bumped into Rik?

Tim, I know you told me the story before but I can't remember how you guys bumped into Rik?

So the guy on the right is one of my best friends from high school. In the late 90's Rik Emmet would allow local people to put on a "Grass Roots" shows around the country, where he would come in and play a small gig. Well, my friend Dan put on a couple. We saw him in a small accoustic room at Berklee. Rik loved the room so much, he ended up coming back to record his Live At Berklee album. On the liner notes, he thanks Dan Bolton. Well, that's my buddy in the picture.

Anyway, Dan flew Rik down to sing at his wedding in 1999. He played a mellow song off one of his solo albums. He basically flew in with his guitar, and flew back to Toronto right after. But he was cool. Dan arranged for us to get some pics. He was really concerned about bogging Rik down with that kind of thing, but we got hooked up. He never told me how much it cost him, but I know it wasn't cheap. First Class plane tix and Limo to and from the airport. In fact, you can see the limo in the background. Dan arranged for us to get pics right before Rik took off.

Tim, your Photoshop skills are on fleek.

That's an actual picture!

I call bull-shit.  That's not DisneyWorld in the background.
