Rick being in his fifties himself, has already had tremendous experience performing for SENIORS. Both in terms of repertoire and sound level (low!) Rick knows how to please the ‘mature-age’ guests as no other. He performed on many resorts and locations where his  guests were all much older than 60….. and man! What a party he made, getting them singing along and really enjoying.

Rick has a tremendous number of old popular songs, most of them english, but also some older german, french, spanish, portuguese and italian songs. And a vast number of dutch songs (his native language).

Did you know that when people get old they tend to forget things, but….. when they hear music from their youth, they remember the melody and words and start to sing-along! Great for recalling those good old memories that had almost faded away…. Rick lets them revive their younger years.

.

(Rick’s father had Alzheimer’s so he knows from experience what happens with people that suffer from memory loss and forgettng. But even his own father still knew how to sing the songs from his youth!) With a dedication to please people with music, Rick combines his own love for singing with the willingness to satisfy the retired audience and pensioners. He has experience in singing for the elderly in retirement homes, resting homes, healthcare institutions and bars, clubs and golf resorts for the ‘mature-aged’ audience.

If the location has it’s own television screens, Rick can connect them with his system so the lyrics will appear on the screens and people can sing-along easily. Of course Rick walks between the audience with his wireless microphone and helps his senior guests to sing along as loud as they can!
