The last time I saw him he was designing web pages and similar computer based activities (about one year ago). I do not think he is still operating Simply Physics, but I am unsure of this.

He had left Houston after the Esoteric Ear closed but he came back and tried to reopen it in the exact same place, since all the wiring was still in the walls; however, that failed too. At the bitter end in 2012, Rick was building and selling SimplyPhysics product out of a motel room in west Houston. He moved to Key West and I never heard from him again.

He was living in Key West and having a look around. Believe he was still trying to list SP products on various sell sights. Had a few industry folks comment that he’d looked better. Man, his candle sure did burn bright for a while . . . Jim & the Bad Boys of Cello 👍
