Ronald's main influence was Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio as the singer. In late 2007, Ronald and the original members of Picture teamed up for a reunion rehearsal. It went so well that they decided to continue rehearsing for some concert dates, and considered recording a new album in early 2008. Though ultimately Pete Lovell became Picture's permanent lead singer, Ronald is still active musically and is the singer for the Dutch band Roslynn. (en)
