RANGER WILL & THE GIFTED HICKS CD RELEASE PARTY! - On Friday, July 1st (CANADA DAY!), we will be making our Kennett Square debut at The Kennett Flash This place is one of the best listening rooms in the area and it's also just a few minutes from Longwood Gardens. The Gifted Hicks include Brett Andrew, Kathleen Weber, Jim Hines, Randy Wagner, & Karl Frick. Everyone gets a free copy of my newly-remastered album, "Up For Air". Come and celebrate Canada Day with a real Canadian and get a free CD about a lake in Canada! http://www.kennettflash.org/event/1204545-ranger-will-gifted-hicks-kennett-square/

ME & FIONA! - My eleven year old daughter Fiona sang a Bob Marley song with us last month on Memorial Day. We were opening for The Wailers at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, PA and Fiona joined us on "Three Little Birds". It was a pretty heavenly moment. Here is the clip: https://www.facebook.com/quiltemma/videos/10153446581096607/

Well, that's about it for now.

Be excellent to one another,
Ranger Will
