In 1964, while still in Jr. High School, he was chosen to open the bill for the Reverend Gary Davis at Detroit\u2019s legendary Retort Coffee House. This engagement resulted in a fast and permanent friendship with the master blues, ragtime, and gospel guitarist. Rev. Davis was so taken by the young Ruskin\u2019s skill and eagerness, that he invited Rick to spend that summer with him at his Long Island home. By the end of the summer, Davis stopped teaching Rick new material and told him, \u201cIt\u2019s time you started paying attention to your own music.\u201d Ruskin has been doing that ever
