His recent CD release, The Dream Is Real: A Musical Reflection, is an acknowledgment of his musical talent as a singer and song writer.

Dennis and Rick first met back in the early 1980s when they started playing together as Spontaneous Combustion with Dennis on drums, Rick playing guitar, keyboards and vocals and Matt Feinberg on bass guitar. The band roster and name changed and it became know as Physical Traces with John Romanowski playing bass guitar. Although they never recorded an album back then, their music was very progressive and quite good. Now Dennis and Rick are back together again on The Nebula Project: In Search of Converging Sounds.
