Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Radio & TV Magazine and Parks & Travel Magazine, for Big Blend Radio, broadcasting live from Yerington Inn, in Yerington, Nevada. Featured guest is internationally known musician and music industry veteran Rick Levy who will discuss his memoir “High in the Mid-'60s: How to Have a Fabulous Life in Music Without Being Famous.”
Rick Levy’s career began in early 1960s in Allentown, PA with The Limits. He spearheaded the band’s ‘80s revival, and continues to keep The Limits torch burning bright with gigs and special engagements all over the US delighting fans with their authenticity and love of early pop and rock. The collection Garage Nuggets ’65-’68 is a compilation of the early Limits recordings - live, in the studio, in rehearsal - capturing the band’s first attempts at songwriting while the collection Songs About Girls captures their later incarnation from 1979-1988. Both collections have been reissued on all digital music platforms courtesy of Garage Masters, a division of Cleopatra Records, Inc.
Levy has performed with and managed notable pop rock artists, including the Herman's Hermits, Tommy Roe, Freddy Cannon, Jay & the Techniques, The Tokens and Bo Diddley. He is currently the manager and guitarist with Memphis legends, The Box Tops.
