Rick and Dorothy partnered personally and professionally from 1995 to 2025. Their unique duet featured one of them on 88-key piano while the other managed the bass, percussion, lead solo instruments on a portable keyboard ensemble. Vocals and singalongs were often part of the show. Dorothy transitioned to the quantum-spiritual-realm QSR in January 2025 and she lives on electronically here and via quantum synchronicity winks to Rick from the beyond Email: rick_potvin@yahoo.com

The Rick and Dorothy Show

We started performing at the front of retail organ and piano stores in 1995 taking turns entertaining audiences in malls. Our sales manager at Fletcher Music stores named our act "The Rick and Dorothy Show" when we became the most popular event at that retail location for a time in the late 1990's, performing on Lowrey organs for seniors. We continued at Active Adult Communities in Arizona, and various venues around Phoenix with longer term engagements on Grand Pianos and digital pianos at Shangri-LaRestaurant 1995-1996, Joyful Restaurant 2011, Calico Cow Restaurant 2010, Central Grille 2011, Golden Buddha Restaurant 2007-20012, and George and Sons 2013. Currently, we're preparing a new repertoire for use at Seasons 52 Restaurant chain with many restaurants nationwide that feature a piano behind the bar. [Some links to Seasons 52 clips of their various players around the country and more][Choose from our playlist albums here]

Lessons

We're always available for teaching and we can always make time for a new student. We have a particular philosophy that gets a student playing chords right away so that harmony and chord progressions become the basis for playing-- rather than simply "reading notes". More on this here soon.

Student Performances

We use a variety of venues for recitals whenever and however we can put it together. Students who have larger homes, retail stores with stages, or our small studio in front of a camera for Youtube-- are all venues we've used. We don't wait for Christmas to do recitals. We do them whenever it seems we have critical mass which is cyclical and unpredictable. Here are a few of our latest students [Youtube]

Schroeder's Organ, Keyboard and Piano

Shroeder's had around a dozen locations when Rick started with them in 1993 and more than that when Dorothy started in 1980. The company closed their doors on their final locations around 2007 but had let many employees go by 2002 which was our final year. I like to reminisce, however, and imagine that the ghost or spirit of Schroeder's chain still exists. I run into past employees and customers all the time.

Fletcher Music / Lowrey Organs

Dorothy and Rick spent quite a substantial amount of time in 1995-6, and 1998 working with the Fletcher Music Company based in Florida with outlets in Arizona, Florida and North Carolina. More on this soon [Link]

There's nothing like a new song to refresh your motivation in playing piano. With today's young people playing piano covers of their favorite current tunes and amazing uploads of classics including classic rock of the past, there is always something new to consider. I explore music by piano ideas in my forum where anyone can post. [Rick's Piano Forum]
