He got started playing in several bands, including Avenue Blue, which was led by guitarist Jeff Golub. Braun has a trumpet solo in the band's remake of "Pick up the Pieces", which had been a hit by the Average White Band during the 1970s.

Braun went on to have a successful solo career, but one of his most famous works is a collaboration with saxophonist Boney James, as they did a duet off the remake of the Hugh Masekela classic "Grazin' in the Grass".

In addition to his solo career, Braun also plays in the band BWB, with saxophonist Kirk Whalum and guitarist Norman Brown. In 2005, he and saxophonist Richard Elliot co-founded a new label, ARTizen Music Group.

Rick's first trumpet actually belonged to his brother, Curt. Curt performed in his high school marching band but gave up playing the trumpet after high school. One day, young Rick found it in his big brother's closet and started to play with it. Obviously, things progressed from there!

By the fire with a glass of wine
The snow is falling and I'm feeling fine
I've got my stocking and the mistletoe
And Santa baby's on the radio

I've got my wreath, I've got my tree
Got Jimmy Stewart smiling at me
I've got my home baked apple pie

Feels good to be in tonight

And I, I can't wait for Christmas
No I, I can't wait for Christmas

The mood is right and the lights are low
I make my angels in the snow
I've got the star at the top of the tree
It's shining brightly down on me

The gifts are wrapped, the bows are tied
The Christmas lights, they shine outside
I know the time is drawing near
It's my favorite time of the year

And I, I can't wait for Christmas
No I, I can't wait for Christmas

And I, I can't wait for Christmas
No I, I can't wait for Christmas

And I, I can't wait, no I, I can't wait

I, I can't wait for Christmas, for Christmas
I can't wait for Christmas, for Christmas
