Rick just had a terrific time in MD with the Chizuk Amuno teen team. What an inspiring group of teens and educators…. Doesn’t get better! I’ll be in FL for the 3rd time in a month in Jupiter and Ormond Beach for the first time. Super shows and what a relief for [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "March 11, 2010", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=22" });</script>
Last weekend I spent about 25 hours recording in the studio with Sheldon Low for his new Shabbat album due for release this fall. It was a blast hangin with Sheldon as always! We are also in final stages of mastering our Simply Shabbat album which should be release in mid October.

It’s been a super busy last few weeks. We finished an awesome east coast tour, then I shot up to Webster, WI to play at Herzl Camp and then Sebago, ME to play at Camp Micah… great shows! For the few days ‘off’ in between, we did some work finishing off our [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Aug 12, 2009", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=20" });</script>
Had an incredible time in the Salute to Israel Parade in NYC on Sunday! There were literally hundreds of thousands of Jews - what a trip!!! It was just amazing seeing the crowds and the parade participants - one group after another - for over 4 hours. We officially launched [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "June 5, 2009", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=19" });</script>
Really psyched for next weekend in NYC, playing on the JNF float in the Salute to Israel parade. This is the official launch of my new partnership to ‘Rock the Planet’ as the official JNF musical spokesman. All tov!

We’re still cranking away on the new Simply Shabbat CD. Finished mixing Or Zarua, Shiru L’Adonai, and Romemu this week. I’m really excited to share this album with people.. probably more than with albums in the past, since these melodies really came from the last 2 years of live Shabbat services - sort [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "May 19, 2009", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=17" });</script>
Got out on the boat this week on a gorgeous day - 74 degrees! The water wasn’t quite as warm, but the excitement of being on the lake with my buddy, Darin, (the old keyboard player in the band) was enough to get me to jump in and ski …. twice! It [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "April 28th, 2009", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=16" });</script>
This week we’re crankin away on vocals and back up vocals for the new album. My favorite part of the whole recording process is backup vocals - sort of the icing on the cake - the part where me and Denny are just having fun, no pressure, super creative, and silly. I’m totally excited [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "April 14 - 2009", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=15" });</script>
Hi Y’all. Just got back from an awesome trip in Israel. Elisa and I lead a congregational trip with our best buddies from Memphis, TN… it was as terrific as our trip 2 summers ago. It was informative and moving being there right before and right after Israel moved into Gaza.

As I’m sitting here thinking about the new year, I’m thinking about my hopes for me in this coming year – what am I going to do differently this year … where did I blow it last year… how do I spend my time and how does that align or not align to my core [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Shanah Tova! - Happy New Year", url: "http://rickrecht.com/blog/?p=13" });</script>
