They named him Richard, but he quickly became known as Rick. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRick was a likeable little fellow who had a talent for the piano and for making trouble. Music became Rick's life - he joined a popular music group called Yes and became a legend. Much later he became a Grumpy Old Man who appears on \u003ci\u003eCountdown\u003c\/i\u003e, hosts a hugely popular radio show on Planet Rock and performs a one-man show telling stories about his rather extraordinary life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhich is where this book you are holding comes in. Mr Wakeman is simply one of the great storytellers of our age - let's face it, he has some fabulous material. It seemed a shame that some of the funniest yarns should not be more widely known.
