The spelling "Rick" is used in the captions in Road Dreams. The track "Tracy's Big Moment" is written by the guitarist
Adrian Legg. "Tracy's Big Moment" is on his 1990 album "Guitars & Other Cathedrals" and is an electric guitar version of the acoustic track used in Road Dreams. This version is played by François Godefroy. ==References==
