Russ Hick's brother Roger

Post by Hook Moore »

Russ's brother Roger Hicks passed away yesterday 7/15/2016. Apparently a heart attack. Many of you probably know Roger, he has traveled and played music with Russ, and others, his whole life. I'm so sorry , Russ.

Services for Roger Hicks will be next Wednesday the 20th at the Blue Ridge Funeral Home at 11 a.m. Burial at 1. 5251 Robert C Byrd Drive. Beckley West Virginia. Thank you all so much for your outpouring of love and especially prayers.

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.
