ABOUT RICK LANDERS
Hope you like some of my songs here - Thanks for listening!
Some of the song titles don't line up with the song music....so, several are placeholders and I'll be replacing the wrong music with the right music....so, this site is under development!
Thanks for your patience.
Oh, and if you click on "Lyrics" in the Tracks area, you can view the lyrics while listening to the songs....and I'll be adding guitar tabs to all of the songs soon! Rick
