Rick Siegel Freedom Liberty a Lonely American Road

A look at freedom and liberty today and its evolution through history from an Americans perspective. This is not an entertainment site but it can be entertaining. You will find tirades about the vast powers that control the freedoms of people to move about without restrictions and denials of liberty.

The Man

Born on the South side of Chicago, Rick Siegel strode out in life to find what the world had to offer. No Fear.

Interactive

In a recent BBC documentary on networks and the vast BBS world Mr. Siegel is shown as the central figure in the formation of the famous FidoNet network. He was elected to represent the whole North-East of the United States in the International FidoNet. His BBS started in 1982 was node 17 on the net. In 1983 he was working with GTE on their PC-Pursuit systems at the same time as writing the UNIX port for the 80286 Intel processor.

The Legend - Music

While the Internet records some of the recent events some peoples lives started before the CPU.

In the mid fifties a neighbor boy of 16 grabbed Rick's hand (only 8) and dragged him out one evening on his little Vespa to meet a "star". In a few minutes they were sitting in a little motel room on Cicero Avenue in the Southside of Chicago talking to Elvis Presley. By 12 years old Rick was playing at the original Old Towne School of Folk Music with Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, Bob Gibson, John Prine, Bonnie Koloc, and Pete Segar. He taught a whole slew of great musicians who carried on way past where he wanted to go. Bands like Styx, Joe Jammer from the original Isle of Wight festival, Chris Gibb from the Brothers Gibb, Jeff Beck, Richard Black, Paul Samson, Roger Bunn, and many more who worked with or shared their chops with Siegel on stage.

In 1972 he played his last concert at the request of the prince of Spain (now King Don Juan) for his sister in Ibiza. Since 1972 he has only taken the stage on occasion to kick out a few blues or rock ditties with friends as he evolved into the computer world and past.
