Wally Macnow, where are you?. If I recall correctly Wally was their chaperone when they were at the National Folk Festival.

You also might try sending a private message to Sandy Paton. I don't think he has a lot of Mudcat browsing time right now, but I do think he'd have some leads for you if you asked him directly.

As I recall, they had an LP album recorded by the Tennessee Folklore Society (at Middle Tennessee State College, Murfeesboro, TN) When I recover consciousness tomorrow, I will try to confirm this. Regards, Larry Parish

I have an LP of theirs--Delta and Dee Hicks, Ballads & Banjo Music from the Tennessee Cumberland Plateau/Music of the Big South Fork Area, County 789 (1985). There is also an LP album, The Hicks Family (TFS 104), produced by the Tennessee Folklore Society in 1984, which I don't have. And they also recorded more than 400 pieces for the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and a little bit of that material may have been released on LP by the Library of Congress. The back of the album cover of the "Ballads & Banjo Music" has some details about the Hickses the songs they sing, and enclosed is a booklet with 7 full 11" by 11" pages of biographical material about the Hickses and their families and their musical sources and communities. which I will not begin to transcribe without first obtaining an OCR program. Suffice it to say that they were from Fentress County, Tenn., that the musical history of the family goes back to Dee's father Daniel (b. 1868), that Dee and Delta got married in October, 1929, three days before the great Black Tuesday stock market crash, and that they lived a hunter-gatherer rural life style filled with music and love.

Apparently, Guest Questioner #1 is not the same Guest as Guest after Guest flattop and before Kath Westra, boy, does this "Guest" stuff get confusing, especially when Guest doesn't even give a Guest name.......and I have no clue what the answer is. Can I ask the audience?

A recent post on the page says that County has the albums (out-of-print) for sale @$8, but I couldn't locate them on the website http://www.countysales.com/ so you may have to contact the company directly.
