KENNETT FLASH SHOW POSTPONED - The Ranger Will & The Gifted Hicks CD Release Show at Kennett Flash in Kennett Square, PA this Friday, July 1, has been postponed.
After my solo CD, "Up For Air", was released it was discovered that there was a sound problem with the CD and the album had to be remastered. Unfortunately the CD is still in the remastering process and will not be ready by this Friday's performance. We regret any inconvenience. The work will be finished in a few weeks and anyone who got a copy of the earlier version can exchange it for a free copy of the new edition.
