Rickado wants to promote musical talent in our community. Any person or group can submit video or audio files along with photos along with information about the individual/group.
Play in the Park - Theatre Groups
We know there are those who "play in the park" or entertain at other social events. We encourage you to send your photos, videos or audio files to Rickado. Theatre groups can send video along with play date information for posting.
Local Schools
Local schools have musical individuals or groups performing in our area. We hope to bring some of it to you. If you wish to highlight your music on Rickado, go here.
Talent Outside Our Area
To get things started, Rickado wishes to recognize musical talents from outside our area. Rickado enjoys some of the reality based musical entertainment television programs. Specifically The Voice in the USA along with its sibling programs in many other countries have acquired large audiences. American Idol has been showcasing artists for several years. We will highlight some of Rickado's favorites here.
Follow the Rickado Music Blog for on-going articles about new artists whether local or otherwise. We hope you enjoy the venture into MUSIC!

For those of us who were blessed with good looks but can't sing (or dance) . . . please stay tuned in! There's nothing wrong with being in the audience. Sit back and close your eyes and enjoy!
Let's make a couple of semi-important points about music.
First . . . A Little History of Music and Dance
Music and dance goes back a long ways . . . probably pre-1960s . . . if one were to actually check. And yes, there were the early tapping of sticks on logs back in the really old times (for all you cultural Anthropologists who love to talk shop about which came first, Australopithecus or Robustus . . . like yawn!!). There is no actual footage of early dancing but it is rumored through legend that Big Foot Primus could cut a carpet in his early teen years according to Dr. Philhorn Yuchi, lead forensic danceologist at the Big Foot Field Researchers Organization, at the Shemya, AK research station circa 1908.
The Evolution of Music and Dance
Some of you who remember when TV was only black and white might remember some of the oldies in the following video.

Secondly . . . Music Elicits Emotions . . . Big Time!
Music can sooth, it can call to action, it can lament, it can help you cry in your Bud Lite. It transcends our prejudices in many cases. About the time we judge someone from their appearance alone . . . it can all change in a matter of a heart beat. If you can handle a few tear jerkers check out these performances.
