Rick Diaz Returns To Lake Tahoe

Singer/songwriter, Rick Diaz will return to Lake Tahoe to perform at the John Denver Tribute, Dancing With The Mountains. The event will be held at the Tahoe Valley Campground Resort in South Lake Tahoe. The main performance will be on Saturday Aug.26^th, 2006. Rick’s concert will begin at 4:00 P.M. Diaz is best known in the Tahoe area for his seasonal hit recording “My Christmas Wish For You”. A part time Tahoe resident, Rick has appeared in the past at Harrah’s Tahoe and at The Olympic Village in Squaw Valley. “I’m very honored to be part of this event along with the other performers, which include Joel Hannel, Bill Lanham, Mark Cormian, and Chris Collins. I had the pleasure of meeting John twice. The first time was here in Tahoe, back stage at Harrah’s. It was awesome!” he recalls.

John Denver was a major influence on me, growing up as a kid. I have copies of his Christmas Specials. I watch them over again, every year. The song Saguaro Moon which I wrote with James Burton, was composed in the middle of a J.D. tour. We were in Vegas at the time. I’ll be doing songs off my new CD Americana, as well as from the Saguaro Moon album. I will also be performing a handful of John’s hits. One song in particular “The Lady of the Lake”, a number I wrote about my on going love affair with Lake Tahoe, has a strong Denver influence. I’m planning on recording this and doing a music video up here, as well. There will be only one John Denver. But, I do carry on with his belief and respect for the environment and world peace. I performed in Aspen, CO back in 1998, at a tribute for John. I didn’t know him well. But thru my friendship with James, I did learn a lot about him. His passing had a profound effect on me. He was truly a gift form God!  

I guess it’s safe to say. That the effect Aspen had on John, Lake Tahoe has played a similar role in my life. I have family and friends here. This is also where I met my manager Bob McClure, James Burton, Glen Campbell, Bill Kingman, Carl Jackson and Brian Farnon, who became good friends of mine, over the years. One of my most cherished memories, is having my Palomino mare, Dixie, up here one summer. I worked as a tour guide in Squaw Valley.  She was the queen of the valley. We had a blast! I got my first paid singing engagement as well!  Tahoe is never far from my heart, mind and thoughts. As you can tell, I’m very excited to be coming back home! “Rick said enthusiastically”.
