Rick Downey began his musical career as a drummer, but soon found another slant on the music business — He was hired as Albert Bouchard's drum tech in 1973.



Soon he moved on to tour manager, and eventually became BOC's crew chief & lighting designer. In the summer of 1981, Downey took on another job with BÖC.



After initial drummer Albert Bouchard was suddenly dismissed, Rick became BÖC's drummer. He continued on in that position until January of 1985.

He is now a member of the the Players Forcythe CART racing team...
